A NEW restaurant has opened in Maldon offering residents a taste of Mediterranean cuisine.

Sark Meze Grill was opened last week by the Mayor of Maldon Jeanette Stilts with the owner Salman Barli and staff being present.

The restaurant is based on the high street, offering a huge variety of Turkish and Mediterranean main and meze dishes.

These include lamb and chicken skewers, casseroles, chops, kebabs, spicy house cooked pots of meat and veg, plus seafood dishes.

The restaurant also offers a takeaway service with a similarly varied menu.

It is open from midday to 11pm every day apart from Sunday where it closes at 10pm.
