Memed Barbecue Grill & Meze Bar

Head down to South Clerk Street and you'll find yourself in the kind of place where they take their wood-fired grilling seriously. The menu reads like a tour through Turkish coastline and Anatolian mountains—think fragrant lamb shish, charred halloumi, and those addictive wood-roasted vegetables that somehow taste better than they have any right to. The meze selection is where things get interesting: it's the sort of spread that arrives in waves, each plate another reason to keep ordering. The room buzzes with a proper mix of locals and visitors, all united in the simple joy of good meat cooked over charcoal.
