What diners say

No diner ratings yet.

Ratings are diners’ own experience. They don’t make a dish safe; neither do we.

Where this comes from

Allergen answers come from the menu’s labels first, then the listed ingredients, then a model’s judgement checked when unsure. How allergen status is decided.

Questions about Meze & Shish

Does Meze & Shish have gluten-free options?

Yes: 1 dish is gluten free as served, from the menu read 9 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

Is Meze & Shish coeliac friendly?

The venue notes: “Printed main menu: "Our food may contain traces of nuts, dairy, gluten or other allergens.”. Eatcrush reads each venue’s own menu and says where every answer came from. It never calls a dish safe: kitchens share fryers, boards and flour, and menus change. If you have coeliac disease or an allergy, confirm with staff before you order.

When is Meze & Shish open?

Monday: 12pm–10:30pm. Tuesday: 12pm–10:30pm. Wednesday: 12pm–10:30pm. Thursday: 12pm–10:30pm. Friday: 12pm–11pm. Saturday: 12pm–11pm. Sunday: 12pm–10:30pm. Hours can change on public holidays; check with the venue.

Can I book Meze & Shish online?

Yes, through the venue’s booking page: https://www.google.com/maps/reserve/v/dine/c/b9oNuNvKRzs?source=pa&opi=79508299&hl=en-US&gei=BCfsarziHP-JkPIP0_330Ac&ahbb=1&sourceurl=https://www.google.com/search?tbm%3Dmap%26q%3Drestaurants%2BEast%2BFinchley%2BLondon%2BUK%26pb%3D!4m9!1m3!1d9915.44637084559!2d-0.1661!3d51.5891!2m0!3m2!1i1728!2i370!4f13.1!7i20!8i20!10b1!12m35!1m2!18b1!30b1!2m3!5m1!6e2!20e3!6m13!4b1!49b1!63m0!66b1!74i150000!75b1!85b1!89b1!91b1!114b1!149b1!196b1!206b1!10b1!12b1!13b1!14b1!16b1!17m1!3e1!20m3!5e2!6b1!14b1!46m1!1b0!94b1!19m4!2m3!1i360!2i120!4i8!20m57!2m2!1i203!2i100!3m2!2i4!5b1!6m6!1m2!1i86!2i86!1m2!1i408!2i240!7m42!1m3!1e1!2b0!3e3!1m3!1e2!2b1!3e2!1m3!1e2!2b0!3e3!1m3!1e8!2b0!3e3!1m3!1e10!2b0!3e3!1m3!1e10!2b1!3e2!1m3!1e9!2b1!3e2!1m3!1e10!2b0!3e3!1m3!1e10!2b1!3e2!1m3!1e10!2b0!3e4!2b1!4b1!9b0!22m6!1s9OAWZ6buJea7hbIP8M6GyAk:440!2s1i:0,t:20588,p:9OAWZ6buJea7hbIP8M6GyAk:440!4m1!2i20588!7e81!12e3!24m107!1m28!13m9!2b1!3b1!4b1!6i1!8b1!9b1!14b1!20b1!25b1!18m17!3b1!4b1!5b1!6b1!13b1!14b1!17b1!21b1!22b1!25b1!27m1!1b0!28b0!31b0!32b0!33m1!1b0!5m5!2b1!5b1!6b1!7b1!10b1!10m1!8e3!11m1!3e1!14m1!3b1!17b1!20m2!1e3!1e6!24b1!25b1!26b1!29b1!30m1!2b1!36b1!39m3!2m2!2i1!3i1!43b1!52b1!54m1!1b1!55b1!56m1!1b1!65m5!3m4!1m3!1m2!1i224!2i298!71b1!72m19!1m5!1b1!2b1!3b1!5b1!7b1!4b1!8m10!1m6!4m1!1e1!4m1!1e3!4m1!1e4!3sother_user_reviews!6m1!1e1!9b1!89b1!98m3!1b1!2b1!3b1!103b1!113b1!114m3!1b1!2m1!1b1!117b1!122m1!1b1!125b0!126b1!127b1!26m4!2m3!1i80!2i92!4i8!30m28!1m6!1m2!1i0!2i0!2m2!1i530!2i370!1m6!1m2!1i1678!2i0!2m2!1i1728!2i370!1m6!1m2!1i0!2i0!2m2!1i1728!2i20!1m6!1m2!1i0!2i350!2m2!1i1728!2i370!31b1!34m19!2b1!3b1!4b1!6b1!7b1!8m6!1b1!3b1!4b1!5b1!6b1!7b1!9b1!12b1!14b1!20b1!23b1!25b1!26b1!37m1!1e81!42b1!46m1!1e2!47m0!49m9!3b1!6m2!1b1!2b1!7m2!1e3!2b1!8b1!9b1!50m5!1m1!4BIAE!2e2!3m1!3b1!59BQ2dBd0Fn!61b1!67m3!7b1!10b1!14b0!69i709%26hl%3Den
