What happens when it is 100F outside, you don't feel like cooking and you watch Bourdain for 4 hours, of which 2 episodes were in the middle east? You hanker for a hunka, a slice or piece or chunka, you hanker for a piece of lamb!

Yelp to the rescue: look for Turkish in the area, found Turkish Meze not far away.
My wife and were both craving babaganush as well as lamb so we started off with that. Nice and refreshing, pita was hot out of the oven.

Wife had the lamb shank (can't help but think of Otm Shank right now) which was wicked tender and juicy. I had the kofte grilled meat pattie, also delicious. Finished with an order of baklava which they serve with a little scoop of ice cream.
Staff was very friendly and attentive throughout. We will definitely go back.

After driving by with a client of mine, on the way to look at rental properties, she mentioned how good Turkish Meze is. I had never been, but made it a point to go the next evening.

We went early (about 5:30) without a reservation, but they accommodated us, as long as we promised to free the table by 7:30 (we were asked very kindly). We happily agreed & had a great time. The waitstaff was efficient & friendly, the wine was very good, & well priced.

We shared the grilled octopus, which was yummy. The pita bread was hot & soft & was delicious dipped in the oil as well as the marinade for the octopus.

I had the Lemony Steamed Fillet of Sole. It was OK. If I had made it at home, I would have been pleased, but I have higher expectations for restaurants. It was certainly fresh, but not all that tasty.

J had the Grilled Branzino which was excellent! I kept picking off her plate & I would definitely go back just for that. It was fresh, tender & seasoned perfectly.

We didn't have room for dessert, but might take home some baklava next time.

The owner Bekir came over at the end of our meal to check on us & he was kind & charming.
This will definitely be one of our regular spots from now on.

The best Turkish food in the county. Authentic, well prepared,and reasonably priced. Why go to Istanbul ? A recent dinner visit encountered an expanded menu with each new item a gem. Still the best Turkish food around.

Always a treat to eat here. The food is good and is served with a marvelous presentation. Reservations are generally advised. Usually crowded but they recently expanded.

Very attentive, friendly owner who takes personal pride in a restaurant of his nationality. Fresh warm pita accompanies authentic, very tasty food. Good value on prix-fixe meals Sun-Thu.

Friendly greeting and staff. Only problem - our table for 6 was "tight" and we said we had limited time but waitress left us with menu until called back to take the order.

It's one of my favorites. Of course, we don't have a lot of Turkish or other Middle Eastern to choose from but I think Meze is very good. The prixe fixe lunch is a value and if you choose to take out, you get 15% or 20% off which is a great deal and since it's often crowded, a good option. Sadly they don't deliver.
