Forget Edgware Road, go to Mesopotamia !!
At long, long last a decent restaurant in Wembley. If Mesopotamia was in the West End it would be packed to the brim. We came along to a concert and were really blown away by the frontage and decoration. There has been a lot of thought into this place, and that applies to the food as well. It has been a long time since we tasted food so fresh, and flavoured so perfectly. The hardest thing we had to do all evening was to decide what to eat!
They do a tremendous choice of fixed menus (10 dishes for 19 or 23 but we did not have enough time for that (an hour and a half). We had the Gus (beautiful lean cuts of beef that melted in your mouth on a bed of salad) and the fish (baked with tomato, onion and parsley). The starters were equally impressive and so refreshing. Service was spot on, spotless toilets with wonderful mosaic tiling even on the ceilings (!!!), the ambience was just SO perfect, we left feeling comfortably full, relaxed and happy. If you do not like the food here, then there must be something wrong with you.
