Quick friendly service. They have smoking and non smoking sections. The coffee and food was wonderful! We got the kudu and ostrich steaks and they were cooked to perfection along with potatoes and vegetables, all delicious. Would absolutely recommend and the people watching from the patio seating is great since greenmaeker square is just across the way

Ended up just having cocktails because the ladies toilet was disgusting. Pity, because service was good and sitting on the balcony was really pleasant.

Delightful atmosphere, service and yummy mezze! Thank you.

Dropped In here for some Kurdish coffee and hubbly and some Turkish steak Pizza and a Mezze platter with my Entertainer App sponsored by FNB. Ended up staying for the Belly dancing which was alot of fun. The dancer got everyone In the restaurant up and dancing and doing a train through and outside of the place. Really unexpected fun! Its not sleezy at all. The wives & gfs had just as much fun as the husbands & bfs lol.

Not just dinner but an experience. Its not a quiet dinner, but you feel as if youre part of an event. Sit at a table or on the floor and try the specials. Oh, theres also belly dancing

Had a quick hubbly here with a few friends on a Saturday late afternoon. Would love to try the food here, it looks amazing! The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Prices are what you can expect from a restaurant in the middle of the city, but definitely worth it!

Great spot for Shisha and a drink, I have never eaten there, but have seen others enjoying the food and atmosphere.Nice chill spot with pleasant staff.

This was such an awesome experience. The food and cocktails are good, and you can experience the full vibe by sitting on comfortable pillows on the floor and watching the belly dancers amazing performance. Well worth it.

An unforgettable experience to be had. Why eat boring old food when you can explore and enjoy a new type of food.Kurdish food is unique and delicious. Loads of choices on the menu at reasonable prices. Waitrons are really friendly and helpful.Sitting on cushions on the floor in its own right is an experience! Throw in belly dancers and hookah pipes with the good food, it truely is a receipe for a fun and unforgettable time.Belly dancers only perform on Friday and Saturday night between 9pm and 10pm, and a R15 charge per head will be added to your bill.Make sure to make a reservation as it can get full.

Loved the service and the food was great.

Near to Greenmarket in Centre Town. If you want to meet someone. Thiss good place

The place can be nice if you are with a nice group but I dont think the food is good. I had a lot of fun with the dancing last time I was there but I did not like my main or my dessert.

It was nice i used to dance there. I liked it but new manager now so i wont go back. Previous manager had great food.

Good food and entertainment

Service good , food typically Kurdish. Ambiance pleasant and whenever I have visited, there has been a Belly dancer as entertainment after 9pm.

Perfect for any setting, from work dinners to romantic evenings. The food was amazing and the service was tops. Will definitely be going back soon to try out the main meals. We got stuck on the starters. :)

Awesome experience. At first being squeezed between strangers in the main hall seemed daunting but the warm & cozy atmosphere soon had us relaxed. Food was very tasty & service was good. Belly dancer made the evening getting everyone involved & making a good evening great. Good date night venue. Go before nine to eat & chat & enjoy the entertainment afterwards.

Only guests in the entire restaurant for the entire Sat night....so atmosphere certainly different to my previous visits when they were still on Long Street. New location doesnt seem to have been good for business and no belly dancer. Food was great though and fortunately we were a big group so entertained ourselves :-)

Absolutely stunning! !!

If there is a zero star rating I would have awarded this restaurant just that. Arrived at 8.15pm. Restaurant totally empty. Ordered our drinks and food. Drinks came but after 1 hour the food never appeared. Customers who came after us were served. This was quite irritating. Will never recommend this place unless you are Mr Patience..

An authentic Kurdish experience in Cape Town. The ambience and music was realistic. The belly dancer added great value to the experience. We enjoyed the middle-eastern cuisine.The rest room could do with some refurbishment, though.

Awesome vibe. Belly dancing show is lovely to watch and is quite interactive

Delicious breads and mixed plate. Relaxed locals vibe with soccer on tv. Not touristy, just welcoming.

Good food. Kurdish culture. Beautiful middle eastern decor. And Bellydancing

Really great food. Shisha was very good. Amazing Belly Dancing. Nice large room for groups or parties. Good music and atmosphere. Nice attentive service. My wife and I had a great dinner here while visiting Cape Town. Highly recommend.

It has potential to be a great dining experience, but currently the place unfortunately lacks in overall service and style. Although our server was friendly, they did not know the menu and really rushed us to place orders, eat and leave. The restaurant was only half full, but we were serviced as if it was packed and that we need to open our tables for the next group. The mezes was great. I would advice not ordering a main and only getting starters. The belly dancer was well trained in her skill and even got us to dance with. With drinks included, average of R400pp.

Nice Kurdish spot with traditional belly dancing and hookak. Wasnt to impressed by the food though.

They serve you shisha made in Egypt. This was the best shisha I ever had.

This place is amazing, the atmosphere, the food, the service. Will definitely be dining here again

Always the best service - Comfortable and affordable

The seating is unique. The food was tasty. For something different, give this place a try.

Enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, nice with a big group of people. We went for the belly dance show but the dancer never showed up on the night

Would like to go back.... Wonder if they have a new belly dancer 🕺

Had a late lunch of delicious King Prawns. Very cosy place, love the decor. We sat on authentic cushions with candle light

Happy to say I can ammend my review!After the rudeness of the hostess when I wanted to confirm my booking, I was not looking forward much to my evening at Mesopotamia. However, when we arrived we were warmly welcomed and served. The waiters are somewhat inattentive, but the service was friendly. The food was delicious!

Always the most delicious meals bonus when Surika the belly dancer performs. Its gives culture to your establishment we need to have more such events. If you up for some Arabian nights then Mesopotamia is the place to be. Super friendly staff very affordable exotic dishes and close your eyes and you will feel like you in a tearoom or shish-a cafe in the far middle east. Keep up the excellent service habibis

Tasty, very well-priced mezze plates. Friendly service and a great atmosphere outside with lots of street performers to keep you entertained

Sensational food, terrific service and setting. Recommended

The place was cool but a bit too empty. The shisha was ok, but there was only one server and the service was kind of slow. Overall an ok experience.

Had the most amazing chocolate milkshake! 😳 also saw the prettiest girl in the world doing their belly dancing show 😐

Very friendly atmosphere with nice kurdish/mezopotamian food

First time here and definitely going again. So much fun! Food great!

If youre looking for smoking shisha, thats the spot to go. Great decoration and overall ambience, not a good tea selection though. Some Friday nights they have great dancers.

I loved eating here. Belly dancers and a fun night out. Food delicious too.

Atmosphere was pleasant except that belly dancer went on too long. They were dishonest around billing and overcharged our table and the tables both sides of us, claiming to be an accidental mix up. There was only one woman taking orders and then you would be served by other waitrons. This incurred a compulsory tip of 10% that was not mentioned up front. Furthermore, there was a belly dancing show which incurred a compulsory charge, of which neither were mentioned upfront. Too many

Aromatic food!!! Good drinks. A great vibe, friendly staff and the shisha is always a good idea. Try shisha and tea/coffee, its so good.

Service was tremendously poor. Food took around 1 and a half hours to be served and the restaurant wasnt full. Food really average. Very expensive for what you get.

A delightful experience if you’re in the mood to be shamed by the waiters as they can be a bit rude. The hookah was the only good thing about this place. Needless to forget the torn seating and unpleasant smells. The food is overpriced for it’s presentation and taste.Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

The service was disgusting, I had to wait a half an hour drinks. Waited 2 & half hours for food that only came after we decided complain to the manager who s excuse was that they were busy.Dont recommend.

Food tastes great and is prepared to specifications. However, theyre slow

Kurdish restaurant, great for gatherings, they offer mezzes and hookah pipe. Relaxing atmosphere with great music located in the city hub

Unprofessional. Place that doesn’t want to learn how to make a Shisha. 2 burning coals on just a single layer of aluminum foil and the tobacco is burnt in 3 minutes. All is left for you to smoke is a burnt harsh flavor. And to extra charge for the piece of aluminum is pathetic especially after so much money being spent and tipping. That’s a principle. Greediness kills businesses.

Food was decent but the belly dancing and drumming was amazing.

Food gave us all the runs the next day. Took an hour to get starters. Kept having to look for and call waitress. So nope to food & service. Wont be returning and wont recommend to anyone else

We had so much fun the belly dancer was great, she really made our night. Besides that excitement the food was tasty, treaty and a splendour to the eyes and tongue

Saturday evenings are the best! One of my bloody favourite favourites in CPT. Food is exceptional too

The food was solid, 3 stars for the wait. We ordered the Meze thinking hummus, flat breads, holumi, aubergine dip, felafel, might come quickly, but 50 mins later we were irratated and hungry. At R44 each starter it seemed fairly priced, but... felt short changed on 3 tiny felafel balls. Yet other dishes were generous and we were well fed. We ordered 6 dishes R264 so R130 each. They seemed a bit light on staff. Music fantastic, Sylvestre and his guitarist friends.

Was lovely my first time there nice relaxing atmosphere Wayne Mckay show was fab

Good vibe, great live performance. Friendly staff.

Interesting place to visit. Belly dancing entertainment and authentic decor.Food very average.

Relaxed atmosphere. Food was great, decor superb, friendly hosts, good service.

I sat out on a table in the pedestrian street and had a small meze. Freshly cooked, perfectly seasoned and spiced houmous, tatziki, dolmades and other typical meze but with a South African twist. Served with a naan but not as we know it in the UK. Perfect lunch, perfect food, highly recommend!

Albeit the iskander was amazing, it seemed as if there were a lot of hidden costs so bring a fat wallet. Its definitely worth going for the experience. Belly dancing was a nice added laugh.

Awesome place great atmosphere just dont drink to much and attempt the stairs

Food has gone to the toilet. Used to be so good and you are forced to pay for the belly dancer. 3 strikes and you are out😉

The food is amazing and our waitress was very friendly.

Stepped into Mesopotamia to avoid a thundershower and really enjoyed the experience! The outside balcony is a great spot to sample the fantastic food.

Great place, i enjoy the belly dancing, more than the food, to be honest

Food was alright. A bit $$$ Some decent starters. But extremely loud atmosphere and when I visited in the summer, it was HOT! Not sure Ill come back.

Lovely themed restaurant with live entertainment. there is a seated area for the less adventurous.

Wonderful, local shop with style. Superb friendly service.

Its been really nice the belly dancing

Great food...wonderful belly dances show...

Thanks for amazing night and delicious foods 🎉🎉

Belly dancing performances are an absolutely must-see.

Awesome experience and the food and service is outstanding!👍

Awsome venue for birthday parties, great food and entertainment.

Nice shiesha & belly dancers

Very nice atmosphere and excellent food, but a bit on the pricey side.

Nice place in the city to spend time with friends. Do some belly dancing

My wife & I go to Mesopotamia fairly regularly as it was the location of our first date. The food is amazing - theres a great variety of chicken, lamb and vegetarian dishes that range from entirely mild to very spicy - and it is offered in small starter portions as well as proper-sized main meals (all cooked in a traditional tandoor oven).The atmosphere is unique and makes for a great dining experience - they have belly dancers to entertain you during the evening, which makes for something very different to your usual restaurant. They also have cigars and hookah pipes that you can buy and use respectively, but weve never taken them up on that.It is a little pricey unfortunately - the most recent trip to the restaurent for the two of is cost R410 altogether (including service charge). The price is what stops us going there more often, but as a location for a special evening out, its just perfect.

This is a good place to have dinner in large groups, but pricey with lots of hidden costs! I used a groupon voucher, but had a ZAR120.00 added to the bill because it was a Groupon voucher. This was explained as part of the ts&cs of the deal, but when I went on to examine the deal on the Goupon site the next day, no mention of this at all...But a good, fun vibe will be had here and lots of spicy food!

Floor seating. Live belly dancing. Food pricey but solid meals

Good food and atmosphere. With belly dancing

The belly dancing is the USP. Food is just average. Good for once !

I likes it but wont go their again.

Great vibe, food, drink and belly dancing

Great restaurant...... specially the belly dancers

Nice vibe and the service was fast.

Lively place with good food

Awesome food. Be sure to order a hookah pipe.

Pricey but really pleasant.

My group of friends found this little gem by accident and had such a good time here with a live performance.

Amazing food! Love it!

Belly dancer. Good food

Quite an experience. Very well wort another visit.

Brilliant food and entertainment!

Meh on value. For was ok.

Fantastic restaurant for Mediterranean foods
