“I've only been here once, but it was a lovely experience! Many vegan and vegetarian options. My vegan friend approved. Would go again if we didn't find any other new places or just felt hungry for some cool Eastern European food!”

“By far the most enjoyable Middle Eastern food I have ever had in Brighton! I ordered via Deliveroo, and although the restaurant was busy and the delivery a little delayed, the food was hot, fresh, and full of flavour. Rich, earthy badenjan with succulent lamb; plump, fresh fatayer; warm, squeaky, minty kalaji, and DREAMY soft, syrupy kunafa. 10/10, best takeaway I've had in a long time, thank you!”

“I really enjoyed my food here. Staff were really lovely too and I didn't feel rushed eating my food. It was warm outside so I tried the watermelon salad. I think they converted me as I'm not really used to watermelon in an actual salad but it was lovely. The tofu bites were fantastic too they weren't very crispy but I liked that really and the dipping sauce was good too. If I'd have had more time I would have come back for dinner!! It's not super cheap but quality taste and presentation are worth paying for.”

“Lovely place, food was really good , meats were all cooked to perfection and staff were great , 100% I will be going back”

“Great experience at Mekan. 1. Best bread ever!! 2. Very good mezze (a large number of options for vegetarians) 3. The waitress was also very nice.”
