Meze Restaurant

Skip the standard hotel dining prejudice—this Glen Waverley spot is pulling serious culinary weight. Straddling bold Indian spices and fresh Middle Eastern plates, Meze delivers a knockout feast. Diners in the loop are already booking tables purely for the biryani. It arrives sealed tight with a dough crust—classic dum pukht style—trapping a ridiculously fragrant, spice-heavy steam that hits you the second it’s cracked open. Flavor-chasers and ex-chefs alike point to the vibrant mezze platters and the cashew-marinated chicken shish taouk as mandatory orders. Beautifully plated. Warm, cozy dining room. And you cannot skip the wild fusion finale: a gulab jamun crème brûlée boasting a flawless burnt-sugar crack over a syrupy, comforting base. It’s a brilliant, spice-driven trip—right in the burbs.
