Exotic Food, Sophisticated Ambience

On Friday after months of wanting to eat here, we finally made it to MEZZE located at Minto Park. Well most people would miss it as they’d be paying attention to the entrance it shares with SOHO which happens to be part of the same establishment but way more famous because it is one of the hottest night spot’s of the city.

Anyway once inside we were shown to a table right in front of a fish tank and a large window looking out into the street. The place is not very big and has some 10-12, 4 seating tables.

The white décor is very stylishly done and the menu is quite exotic. Well I say exotic because there’s a whole lot of Moroccan stuff on it, which is hard to pronounce. Well as long as they had hummus. Yeah! That’s as far as my knowledge of this kind of food goes. Anyway ordered the drinks first and so Gin n tonic for the Missus and Vodka and 7 Up for me followed by a Mezze Non-Vegetarian Platter. Man that was some platter. Probably the biggest I’ve ever seen and had to consume between two people. Well this was just starters and we were wondering once we got through this whether we really wanted to go for the main course. It had an assortment of Kebabs, breads, hummus and couscous. We ordered our next round of drinks and were soon joined by a couple of friends.

More drinks followed, till finally we were told that we needed to place the last order, as the place would shut down in a while. It was past 11 pm. Wow! How time flies when you’re having a good time. Meanwhile we kept the drinks flowing. We finally ordered a Harissa Chicken, which was some Moroccan style dish. It turned out really good.

To conclude the food, ambience and service was excellent. Well so was the price, which was on the higher side. Well I guess you pay more for exotic kinds of food and to be counted among the sophisticated set of society. I’d definitely go back if my taste buds crave Moroccan food.
