Melin Restaurant Bar - Harlow

Had a fantastic evening, service was amazing. Our waiter Mihai was so helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had an enjoyable evening. I would highly recommended this restaurant, Will definitely visit again.

My experience at this restaurant on a Saturday night was disappointing. The starters we ordered were not good - the houmous tasted like washing up liquid and I found pieces of glass in my falafel. When I brought this to the staff's attention, they explained that a glass must have broken over the plates and they didn't clean it properly. We waited 35 minutes for our main course, only to be told that they were busy with a large table before us. Despite it being a Saturday night, the restaurant was not full and the wait was unacceptable. When we finally received our main course, it was cold and lacking in flavor. The chicken shish did not come with any fresh side salad, and the chef's special was freezing cold and tasted terrible. Overall, we were very disappointed and would not return. The manager was apologetic and handled our complaints well, but it was not enough to make up for the poor experience.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely, and the service was excellent. We will definitely be returning. The prices were fair and the portion sizes were generous.

I regret not capturing a photo of my meal, it was truly amazing. The Mediterranean cuisine at this restaurant is the best I've ever had. The sauce on the vegetables and rice was particularly outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant for couples or groups of friends, as the service is excellent.

Myself and a colleague visited here for our evening meal and we were not disappointed. The drinks were lovely and the food was fresh and tasty. Large portions. The service from the front of house staff was attentive and efficient. We ordered starters and mains which arrived at the table with not too much of a wait. Great job by the chefs for making delicious food and to the staff we encountered on our visit.
