The tradition of Meze at Saray
A tradition of gathering, sharing, and savouring.
Rooted in the rich culinary heritage of the Ottoman Empire, Turkish meze reflects a tradition of hospitality, conversation, and sharing — with small plates placed at the centre of the table for everyone to enjoy.
At Saray, this tradition is celebrated with 16 varieties of meze, offering a wonderful range of flavours and textures. With so much choice, you’ll never tire of meze.
Our Köpoğlu is one of our recent additions to our meze range that we'd love you to explore.
Gather around the table, share, savour, and start your Turkish feast.
Feeling curious yet? Come and try it soon!

A Turkish table is more than just the food. 🇹🇷✨
In Turkish food culture, the table is a place to gather, share and spend time together. Mezze, breads, grilled meats and sides are often placed at the centre, inviting everyone to enjoy the meal together.
That same spirit extends to hospitality. In Turkish, it is called misafirperverlik, a deep tradition of welcoming guests with warmth, generosity and genuine care.
Gather at Saray and experience the warmth of Turkish dining for yourself. ❤️
