ABOUT MEZA

Fueled by a strong passion for hospitality, Meza was started in January 2021 by the duo Divya Puri & Alexandre Barre with the ambition to bring authentic and wholesome Middle-Eastern & Mediterranean cuisine to Indian homes.

The well thought out and beautifully crafted menu is inspired by the founders’ personal journeys and experiences through the Levant.  The focus is on boldly flavoured and aroma packed dishes using ancient Mediterranean cooking techniques that bring out that special character in each dish.

Meza is a funky fusion of the Mediterranean and Middle East.  Let our food take you on a trip through the souks, spice bazaars and secret back alleys of the region.
