I got the triple dip (which is a variety of their 3 hummus types) and something i can't spell of the top of my head comprised of chicken, mushrooms, cheese and heaven. I haven't had my mouth forced into a smile by food in a long time and I'm so glad I stopped in. The waitress was terrific and gave great advice as well as kept my glass filled with water. My only complaint is that with the amount of hummus I was given, I had about 2/5 the pita amount I needed to eat it all. I got more pita, but it did have a cost even though that cost was very low.

Great Turkish food with fun servers and great atmosphere. Very authentic and cool location. One of our faves to take visitors:

This cute little Turkish restaurant is delightful. We experienced fast, friendly service in a quiet setting. The food was all very good. I had a falafel sandwich that simply could not have been better. My family raved over the gyros. Close parking is hard to come by, but there is a public lot just down the street a bit. All in all we had a great dinner.

A Johnson City gem!! Great atmosphere- decor was homey and instantly felt welcomed. Our waiter (who we think was the owner) was so accommodating, nice and a delight to talk to. The menu had great variety, and the food comes out super quick and is delicious! Fresh, flavorful and five out of five stars! We will definitely be back!

The Iskender kebap had very good tasting lamb which was not gamey tasting. This is a small place with limited setaing but they do have some seating outside. Turkish coffee but very pricey and no Turkish tea!!

Always delish. These folks are passionate about their food and it shows. So good. The Lamb gyro for Lunch and the lamb shank for dinner. Mmmmmmm.

Fantastic food, fun atmosphere, and great, high-energy hosts. I've had virtually everything on the menu and it's all scrumptious.

My husband and I are plant-based eaters and can have struggles finding restaurants with lots of choices for us that aren't salads. Red Meze has a lot of non-meat choices and so far everything we have tried is well-prepared and delicious. Service is friendly and always helpful in guiding us in tasty choices.

The food is amazing and the owner is a true original. If she gets to know you she'll make recommendations for new or off menu items that are delicious. Iskender kebab, hummus trio, & the Red Meze burger are my favorites but I'm hopeful they out the spicy chicken kebab on the menu permanently as it's really hard to beat!
INCREDIBLE FOOD!! Always ask what the chef's special is that day; each time I've gotten it, it was DELICIOUS! Turkish coffee and traditional Turkish entrees are also recommended.

So glad we took the chance to come here! The food was amazing! Check out the appetizers but also look at the dinners!

Delicious! Fresh! I have been a couple times now and got curbside pick up once. All 3 times the food was so good and hot and well prepared. The restaurant is a quaint little building in downtown JC, so parking can be tough. It is worth it! Yummy!

YES, YES, & YES. I put off going here for so long and now I wish I hadn't. I thought the food would all be weird but it was actually kinda welcoming and the environment was super cute & cozy. I started off with the Jalapeño Hummus & Pita - 10/10 recommend trying this even if you are picky. They also bring more fresh pita if you run out. For my entire Chicken Gyro and oh my goodness it was delicious. It tasted very fresh and the ingredients all paired very well with each other. It was one of those dishes that you just had to keep eating regardless of how full you felt. Give it a try, I don't think you'll regret it at all!

After our first visit tonight, I quickly knew this will become a place we will frequent. The food was absolutely incredible, and the atmosphere comforting. Despite the place being quite busy with people dining in and many to go orders, the owner took opportunity to talk to us. She was charming and enjoyable to talk with and was happy to answer any questions we had about the menu and the restaurant. I’m looking forward to many more visits in the future!
