Konak Meze — Authentic Turkish Restaurant

Turkish Restaurant in Harrogate

Konak Meze is a family-run Turkish restaurant in the heart of Harrogate town centre, at 11-13 Mount Parade. We opened in February 2013 as the town's first dedicated Turkish restaurant and still serve the same thing today: fresh meze made each morning, meat and fish over open charcoal, and Ottoman-inspired dishes in a warm, softly lit room.
