Mezze Bar and Grill

Mezze Bar and Grill works the Mediterranean and Turkish-grill format from the Nether Hall Road site that previously housed the Royal Dragon Chinese, with the dining room redesigned to mimic the warmer interior style of authentic Turkish surrounds. The board centres on hot and cold meze starters alongside the proper Turkish charcoal-grill section — marinated lamb shish, chicken cuts, kofte and the substantive vegetable-and-vegetarian range — with mixed-grill sharing platters at the upper end of the price board.

The format is set up for both intimate sit-in dining and the longer fine-dining-style evenings, which gives the restaurant a different trading profile from the counter-only Turkish kebab shops that dominate the Hallgate and Silver Street parades. The position a short walk from Doncaster Railway Station puts the restaurant in easy reach of train arrivals and the eastern town-centre catchment, though without dedicated parking — a recurring note in reviews from drivers approaching from the surrounding villages.
