About Jars Meze | Greek Restaurant Bath UK
Jars Meze is a family-run Greek restaurant on Northumberland Place in Walcot, Bath. Walk in and you'll find a cosy, unpretentious space with tables downstairs, upstairs, and outside on the terrace (spring through autumn). The owners, Roxana and Mihai, cook and serve — you'll see the kitchen at work. They do meze (small plates meant for sharing), grilled meats, fresh seafood, and homemade dips with warm bread. The wine list is solid, the beer's good, and they finish you off with homemade Greek chocolate biscuits. Reviewers who've been back multiple times praise the consistency: fresh ingredients, proper seasoning, generous portions (the chicken gyros doesn't skimp on meat). It's the kind of place where solo diners feel welcomed and work groups book lunch without fuss. £20–30 per head. Reservations recommended, especially for dinner.
What Stands Out
Consistent, fresh cooking
Multiple reviewers mention returning 'multiple times' without disappointment. Prawns in chilli tomato sauce with feta are described as 'bursting with authentic flavours — fresh, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients.' The lamb gets specific praise for being 'exceptionally good.'
Owners who are actually there
Reviewers note seeing 'the chef preparing, cooking, and garnishing' dishes. Roxana and Mihai are named by name as hosts with 'marvelous hosting skills' who 'bent over backwards' and made solo diners feel 'valued and welcomed.' One regular calls it 'unpresumptious and friendly.'
Proper meze sharing format with vegetarian depth
The sharing concept is praised as working 'brilliantly, allowing you to taste a wide variety of dishes.' Reviewers highlight 'a large choice of vegetarian options ideal as tapas to share' alongside grilled meats and seafood. Homemade dips are specifically mentioned as 'incredible.'
