Mesopotamia

Mesopotamia is a Turkish restaurant on Old Arbat in Moscow, with a menu built around the broad range of Turkish cooking. Meat dishes form an important part of the offering, alongside fish, seafood, vegetables, desserts and baked goods. The menu is suited to both a full meal and a shared table, with options that can accommodate different tastes within a group.

The restaurant’s cooking includes grilled meat dishes, kebabs and hearty preparations served with vegetables and aromatic seasonings. Seafood and fish provide alternatives to the meat-focused dishes, while vegetable recipes, pastries and desserts give the menu added range. The food suits diners looking for familiar Turkish flavours as well as groups that prefer to order several dishes for the table.

Mesopotamia presents a Turkish atmosphere rather than a purely formal dining room. National costumes are available for themed photographs, adding an entertainment element to the restaurant experience. A veranda provides an outdoor seating option, while the interior setting is intended for relaxed meals, celebrations and longer evening visits.

Evenings can become more performance-led. Friday programming includes a DJ, live music, karaoke and oriental dancing. A Turkish-themed evening is also scheduled for the last Saturday of the month. These events make the restaurant a natural choice for diners who want music and entertainment alongside dinner, rather than a quiet meal only.

The venue also handles banquets for occasions such as birthdays and corporate gatherings. Banquet menus can be arranged to suit the format of an event, giving larger parties a way to plan a meal around shared Turkish dishes. Direct table reservations are available, and parking arrangements can also be made through the restaurant. Mesopotamia works for casual Turkish dining, celebratory meals, organized groups and visitors seeking a restaurant with a pronounced evening programme.
