Great food. Loved the lamb burger and the mezze platter, so many fantastic colours and spices, very well presented. The chips with the pomegranate and mint were amazing. The customer service was on point. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the food and the menu. Will definitely come back again.

What a hidden gem. My favourite place of 2023 so far! We ordered -
✨Shifta Burger with fries- Burger comes with 2 shifta patties which are full of flavours so you could have a juicy bite of beef in every bite.  Loved the Beharat fries as well. They were seasoned with some mild spice mix & a sauce which was sooo good.

✨Mezze Dips- It comes with a selection of dips and a Za’atar bread. Their Red pepper dip is to die for. So yumm! The dips are good enough for 2 breads.

Veggie Mezze- Kubba dumplings were so tasty that I might order a separate plate of kubba dumplings when I visit next.

7 spice chicken and rice- The chicken was so tender yet juicy and flavourful.  So so good!

All the dishes were amazing but my fav was the shifta burger with fries.  Highly recommend this place for good Kurdish food.

Would highly recommend for breakkie or lunch. The breakfast platter was delicious and we shared baklava for a sweet treat. The boreks also looked amazing which I would get if passing! Only downfall was my oat milk latte which was possibly the strongest coffee I’ve ever had… almost undrinkably so!

Delicious. I had the shakshouka (? Sorry for my spelling!) and shared the AMAZING fries (they’re not just fries) with my friend. Lovely person working there too so felt really welcomed.

Absolutely fascinating place and what a joy to eat here! The food especially the Mezze is heavenly delicious and their range of juices are fresh and lovely. This family run place truly serve a modernised Kurdish cuisine with love and passion.

Place for sharing Kurdish food in a cosy atmospheric design restaurant.
Reserve the only top floor secluded dining area and intimate dining for 4.
Rest of dining area is noisy that’s how busy it’s is on this Thursday night.
Excellent wines.
Unisex toilet.
Our server & bar tender was Farsat. Recommend the Spanish organic red wine and margarita.

Amazing place!!!! You can smell the grill as soon as you walk in! Great for all diets including vegan.
The food was so interesting and flavoursome. The vibes were lovely and the service was attentive.
Would 100% recommend

Amazing Kurdish food full of flavour. Kurdish dumplings and aubergine platter were the best, highly recommended! We were too full at the end of the meal so just had a nice cardamom chai tea which was amazing!

We were lucky to walk past early in the evening on a Wednesday and to get a big round table for three - fantastic service from start to end. Really friendly, helpful and efficient. The advice to get 2-3 plates per person and to share was very good. Mimi was our main waiter we ordered
•⁠  Tirshyat - home made pink ⁠pickles
•⁠  ⁠Tareh Kurdi - butter beans stew with green herbs
•⁠  ⁠Cauliflower
•⁠  ⁠Xayar u mast - yogurt, cucumber herbs...
•⁠  ⁠Aubergine platter
•⁠  ⁠Cholera - braised chicken hearts
•⁠  ⁠Qibuli rash - biriani with chicken
•⁠  ⁠Beharat fries (the one thing I would not order again

We've been wanting to eat here for ages, and so pleased to have finally made it.

The bill came to just under £80 including 2 beers, a sparkling water, and 12.5% service

As we left Baban came out of the kitchen and talked to us on the street asking how everything was. A really special and personal touch.

We'll be back!

I had discovered this restaurant a few years ago on TikTok, and made it a mission to visit them if I ever visited London. I am Kurdish myself so If I say the food was bomb believe me, the meat was so  tender, the side dishes, everything. Kurdish people usually have big plates, and u never finish the food. But this restaurant had the perfect portions❤️ the music was also very hip Kurdish music, only minus was loud British people, but what can they do😂😂 hahah enjoy ur visit

@halalhunt's review of Melimelo by Yummyflo on Instagram

MELI-MELO by Florent Fabulas

What a delicious meal, with mouth-watering lamb shank, and the beef ribs were very succulent and tender.

The desserts were delicious and just the right amount, I recommend the Tiramisu.

Shusma was a sweet and polite waitress who made sure we had what we needed. Thank you for making it a memorable experience .

I recently visited Meli Melo on Brick Lane for their Sunday roast, and the whole experience was exceptional from beginning to end.

The roast itself was absolutely fantastic - perfectly cooked meat, crisp-yet-tender vegetables and a rich, flavourful gravy that tied everything together beautifully. Every element tasted thoughtfully prepared, and it was clear the kitchen takes real pride in their food.

When it came to dessert, we genuinely couldn’t decide… so we ordered a variety of them, and I’m so glad we did! Each one was incredible in its own way - beautifully plated, full of flavour and clearly made with top-quality ingredients. Whether you prefer something indulgent, fruity, or lighter, there’s a dessert here that will completely win you over.

The atmosphere at Meli Melo is just as impressive as the food. The staff are warm, attentive and genuinely passionate about what they do. The cosy, vibrant setting makes it the perfect spot for a relaxed Sunday meal or a special treat.

Overall, Meli Melo delivered one of the best Sunday dining experiences I’ve had in London. Delicious food, amazing desserts, lovely people - highly recommended and I’ll definitely be returning!

We ordered a set menu consisting of lamb birria style tacos, beef sirloin as man and chocolate fondant as dessert.

Lamb taco was nice but didn’t get the birria taste from it, tasty nonetheless. The mains, absolutely delicious! The portion size was a little small for my liking but everything worked so well together, the beef and all the sides, would have liked a bigger size for the beef, it was thin and not what you expect from sirloin cut meat but again, very tasty. Dessert was good, light one to finish off the meal. We asked for extra gravy and a few more scoops of ice cream and they accommodated, which was nice of them and service was great. Plenty of drinks options, the one in the image is a mojito (best seller) but the best one was the daiquiri, give it a go if you’re into non-alcoholic mocktails.

The place and food are mediocre at best.
They are only busy because the meet is halal, but the overall food quality is not really there. The meats were fine but there are weird sauces in the plates and a palate destroying salt blend that they put on all veggies that i did not understand, appreciate nor like. Its a yellowy-orange blend of salt and some peppery, paprika spices maybe with done chilly too. Cauliflower was way under cooked while the other veggies were over baked/cooked. Overall not a traditional roast but a bad interpretation of it.
Staff is dressed in their own outfits so most of them dont look like staff. All staff serves all tables so we had one person showing us to the table, one taking the order, another brought the food and yet another took away the plates. Some of the tables are so close to each other that if someone leave the next table their buttocks is likely gonna graze your table while getting out their seat.
Overall the place is not for us, but has its own clientele who i am sure enjoys it. We will not be back.

Meli Melo is a lovely restaurant on Brick Lane. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food tasted amazing and there were a wide selection of choices on the menu. We ordered Sirloin Steak, Salmon and Beef tacos. The presentation gives off fine dining vibes and the overall experience was amazing. They had a selection of different roasts which looked delicious so will definitely be returning for more.

Cafe serving grilled Tortilla breads stuffed with fries, cheese and meat

French Tacos

Ordered from here for a late night snack and was HORRIFIED! Should have known how bad things were gonna get when I opened the bag and there were Fantas in there instead of the Lilts we ordered. Took a bite of the taco and immediately knew something was off. The meat tasted like it was chewed up and spat into the tortilla and it whole thing was dry as hell. I opened it up to take a look and whatever was inside was burned to a crisp. I don't know how the food ended up being burnt and cold simultaneously. I got a refund through Uber Eats but I think it's actually immoral to serve people this food, knowing that most people won't actually seek a refund. Avoid this place!

third time i’ve given this palce a chance & each time they forget an item in my order. it’s sad that they don’t pay attention to their orders & make the same mistakes. Can’t enjoy a proper meal when you order from this place lol. My last time for sure.

That was the first time I tried French Tacos in my life and I will definitely go there again. I highly recommend trying the Algerienne sauce. Good old dinner you can have after hard work and this can feel like a reward.

My partner is French and we have lived in France the last three years. Hopeful for a close enough version of our favorite take away treat, we've given French Tacos two tries.

The first time was ok. The amount of cheese sauce was lacking and only really at the bottom third of the taco.

This time, no cheese sauce on either taco or curry sauce on one of the two. I'm assuming this was an assembly line miscommunication, but still so disappointed to pay for food that is beyond dry and missing the quintessential ingredient.

The potato wedges are delicious, however.

I doubt we will order here again.

As a French native and a true connoisseur of French tacos, I have to say that this place exceeded all my expectations! The tacos were absolutely delicious, with the perfect balance of flavors, and as authentic as it gets. The service was outstanding, incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. And to top it all off, the prices were very reasonable for the high quality. If you’re in London and looking for the best French tacos, look no further—this is the place to go!
