Welcome to Aroma Meze The first of its kind in Canada! Come and enjoy “Meze” the food that reflects the way of life in Greek culture. Meze…an eating style, ancient in origin, favored in Greece and the Mediterranean. Now, with a globally inspired menu, come to Aroma where eating is a hospitality and a celebration.
The word “Aroma” literally means spice in Greek. Aroma is a combination of what we taste and what we smell and is a sensation, which is difficult to separate from flavor. Without our sense of smell, our only taste sensations would be sweet, sour, salty and bitter. The aroma contributes to the flavors we discern on our plates.

Our first time at Aroma Meze. We had given ourselves 2 hour for our dinner (6:30-8:30). The waiter recommended 6 small plates for the both of us. Unfortunately, it was extremely slow even if only half the restaurant was full. At 7:45 we had two plates, the Ouzo shrimp (only two shrimps, one each) and the falafal. We had to request that the next 4 plates be served within 45 minutes in order to get to our candlelight concert. Of the 6 plates, two were very good the lamb tacos and the Shakshuka (merguez plate). Unfortunately, the ginger beef plate was cooked well done and chewy. If I could recommend they ask their clients what is their cooking preference for the beef. We will not be returning but happy we tried it.

Loved it! We were dining with a vegetarian and someone with gluten issues and the server had each item tailored to meet their needs. Couldn’t have asked for better! Already told our friends we are going back.

I was looking for Ottawa restaurants with gluten free options and Aroma Meze is one that showed up. There are so many dishes that I can eat and they were all incredibly delicious! So many incredible combinations of flavours. Our server was excellent and very polite. We are adding Aroma Meze to our date night restaurants for sure.

Poor value for money - six small portions. Poor service - after an hour had only had two slices of beetroot. Server forgot drinks left us alone at the back of the restaurant. Seems they prioritize take aways. Will not be going back.

The food was OK but not more than that. Basically the same as food that I prepare at home like olives, feta and pita, chicken kebabs, etc. The zucchini fritters were bland and needed garlic.

Amazing food, and the small plates experience is so fun, it turns the dining experience into an event. Definitely not a cheap dinner bill, but a totally worthy splurge!

Heard about Aroma Meze through a business associate and decided to give it a try. The restaurant is located in an old house that has been transformed into a Greek style Tapas eatery. The ambiance was very nice, the food was absolutely amazing. We ordered a total of seven two person share dishes, from all three categories of garden, sea, and earth, and the flavours were incredible in every dish. Kudos to the chef!! Seating is a bit tight, and every conversation in the room was heard. Overall fantastic experience and will definitely recommend and return.
