Located on Barton Street in the heart of Bath, Baba’s Mezze is a vibrant Persian-Mediterranean restaurant offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a menu rooted in traditional Middle Eastern flavours. Just a short stroll from Bath Abbey and the Roman Baths, the restaurant is ideally placed for visitors exploring the city’s historic centre.
Founded by two friends - one Persian, one Greek - Baba’s Mezze is inspired by the shared ritual of gathering around the dinner table. The menu focuses on mezze-style sharing plates and charcoal-grilled kebabs, crafted with fresh, seasonal British produce and halal ingredients. Signature dishes include lamb koobideh, chicken jujeh kebab, and aubergine, lentil and mushroom stew, served with aromatic saffron rice and flatbreads. Mezze options range from baba ganoush and hummus to falafel, tabbouleh, and halloumi fries, with vegan and gluten-free choices available.
The drinks list complements the food with regional wines, Persian chai, and traditional soft drinks. The restaurant’s interior features earthy tones, rich red hues, and rustic décor, creating a cosy and intimate dining experience. Guests are encouraged to order 2–3 mezze dishes and a main per person, though portions are generous and ideal for sharing.
Baba’s Mezze is open Wednesday to Sunday, with lunch and dinner service, and offers dine-in, takeaway, and delivery options. It’s a popular spot for couples, families, and groups seeking authentic flavours in a relaxed setting.
Bath itself is a UNESCO World Heritage city known for its Georgian architecture, Roman heritage, and thriving food scene. Baba’s Mezze adds a unique Persian twist to the city’s culinary landscape, making it a must-visit for those looking to explore bold, comforting flavours in one of England’s most picturesque destinations.
