Meze & Starters

Fresh Turkish meze, made daily in Chelmsford. The proper way to start a Turkish meal.

The Turkish Way

A fresh start to every meal

In Turkey, a meal starts with meze: small plates of fresh, vibrant flavours passed around the table. At Moda we prepare our meze daily, from silky hummus and cool cacik to charcoal grilled halloumi and crispy borek. All available to dine in or as a takeaway.
