Reina Meze Grill

This was our first visit to Reina Meze Grill that left us wanting to return. We enjoyed good food and friendly service that makes this place another great addition to the food scene in my hometown of Hornchurch as well as Essex.

We decided to pop in on the off chance on Sunday. The staff gave us a warm welcome and asked if we’d reserved a table. We said we hadn’t and that this was our first time here. They said that wasn’t a problem and would look after us. Well they were absolutely true to their word as they treated us to a delightful afternoon. We started by ordering a bottle Turkish wine from the Anatolia region. A fabulous light and fruity Kavaklidere Cankaya 2021 while we took a look at the menu.

The menu is set out with Cold and Hot Starters , Kebabs and Grills , Chef and House Specials plus steaks , vegetarian , sides and salads. For our starter we opted for the Mixed Hot Meze which included halloumi , sigara boregi , sucuk , falafel and kalamar. This was served along with pitta bread garlic and chilli sauce.

We then moved on to the main course. After talking to the manager who gave us her recommendations we chose the Mixed Sea Food of monkfish , salmon and king prawns served with baby potatoes and asparagus. For myself I went for the Mixed Kebab of lamb shish , chicken shish and adana kofte accompanied with a healthy sized salad.

After a nice little break we moved onto dessert. We decided to choose the Sutlac an oven baked rice pudding and the Baklava.

This was a fabulous lunch and one that we’ll be looking to repeat very soon. So yes I would highly recommend a visit. The food was perfectly cooked , the staff were very friendly and looked after us very well throughout.
