Mezza Express
About Mezza Express
Mezza Express restaurant in London's Camden is another hit from the owners of La Cigale next door. Though one notch more smart than casual, Mezza Express retains the stylish décor, lively service and attention to detail of its sister restaurant. With taupe walls, leather seating and tables the colour of Turkish coffee, wooden floor, recessed lighting and skylight and a painting of a cedar of Lebanon, the dining room is smart enough for a date, comfortable enough to make this your local haunt. The menu covers the highlights of Lebanese cuisine, including hot and cold mezze - enough for a sharing meal -- meat, fish and chicken mains.
