Great location, excellent service and helpful staff. Food was half of the quality of what was it couple of years ago.

Really good food and the dishes are served to the fullest! Better to go in big groups! Perfect for a celebration meal. There are also plenty of options to chose from.

Fantastic really great service and staff. Place was overcrowded due to a large party of 30+ but after they left we felt as the place became very quite and intimate. Definitely recommended

For the fourth time, I recently dined at this restaurant and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food. The flavours were impeccable, and the presentation was elegant. However, the service was, unfortunately, a let-down. Despite the restaurant being very quiet compared to regular days, the experience with the staff was inattentive and quite slow. It was disappointing to see the lack of basic consideration and attentiveness from the serving staff, which hindered the overall dining experience. The food was sublime, and it is a shame that the experience with the serving staff took away from that. It is apparent that the real problem lies with the experience and attentiveness of the serving staff. One colleague is more versed than the other, hindering the experience. They appeared disinterested in providing quality service, and it detracted from the overall ambience of the restaurant. Despite the service being poor, I would still recommend this restaurant solely for the quality of the food. It is a shame that the serving staff did not match the level of excellence in the food. Nonetheless, if you're looking for a culinary experience with superb food, then this restaurant is definitely worth checking out.

We are sorry that your experience with the staff was inattentive. We are definitely going to discuss this in a staff meeting. We hope you come again to give us another chance and let you experience our restaurant as you are supposed to do: food with good flavours and staff with good service.

It was such a nice environment. The food was sooooo good!!! The people were extremely nice as well, also explaining some of the dishes if you didnt know them. The price was also perfect for the quality and quantity of the food. One little constructive critique: once another plate is coming, it would be great to get the others we used not to have too many plates on the table!!
Mechoui • Owner
Thank you so much for the great feedback! You are right a bout bringing back the plates. We shall work on it. Thank you and we hope to see you again!

Great find! Spectacular food, unfortunately, an understaffed night and a giant table beside us, the service was very good but not outstanding. Ambience and environment are exactly what the nature and cuisine of the restaurant inspire. Plain and simple, if you desire incredibly good food, you can be a reasonable customer to a busy establishment with excellent staff; you are in for a treat.
Mechoui • Owner
Thank you for the honest feedback! We shall try our best to improve and hope to see you again!

A pleasant immersion in North-African/South Mediterranean cuisine. A lot of fresh vegetables accompaning every single dish and very nice the "mezze" (small servings) which allow to taste many different specialties. Interesting use of spices and subtle flavours, used differently for every dish. Not so good the condition of toilets, which are also important in a public space.

Thanks for the feedback and we will take your words with our next meeting!

The staff were very nice and the food was brilliant. Due to unfortunate reasons they were building on street so the atmosphere was not the greatest ever but overall we were so pleased to go!

Mechoui was a great restaurant to come by; the first N. African cuisine we've tried. The ambiance of the restaurant suited the wide and varied selection of food and drinks perfectly. The staff was very welcoming and friendly as well! We highly recommend eating here, and we certainly plan on coming back again since it's now one of our new favorites in town!

I was out with my girl on a date, and it was a very good decision going to Mechoui. We enjoyed it from the beginning , the warm welcome from the people working there , food was great , we were continuously closing our eyes and enjoying the good taste of the food. Very impressive the atmosphere of the place , you just feel that for 2 hours you are visiting a new country and that is because of the people working there. In a sentence about the experience at Mechoui : it made me and my girlfriend smile all the way back to the car. Thank you !
