In the Mood for Food at Meeka, Subiaco, WA – A review

This restaurant is one that we have been meaning to visit for a long time. I can’t think why we’ve missed this wonderful place, maybe plans got in the way or the dreaded “C” word! Anyway amends have now been made and it was a definite hit for hubby and I.

Meeka’s cuisine is an Australian/Middle Eastern fusion, using local produce to create unique original dishes.

Outside looking in

We were greeted at the counter by the very affable Jack, aka Jacquimo. It didn’t take us long to realise he was running the place almost singlehanded, efficiently and with great humour!

I had a cocktail as usual, this time a Pomegranate Mojito and hubby went straight onto the red wine, and ordered the one below recommended by Jack. I even had a glass and I’m not a red wine drinker! 🍷 A light easy to drink bottle.

Ravensworth Murrumbateman Sangiovese, NSW

While we waited for our food to arrive I asked Jack if I could snap a few shots.

Meeka is very deceptive size wise and seems small on entering, but at the back there is another dining room for around 20 more diners.

Beautiful artwork on the walls and a large array of wines on display.
Through the cubbyhole!

Our Food

  • Popcorn Prawns / Lemonaise / Greens / Radish / Middle Eastern Sambal
  • Pork Belly / Grain Salad / Broccolini / Spiced Plum Sauce
  • Slow Cooked Black Garlic Lamb Shoulder / Smokey Eggplant Puree / Green Beans / Spiced Jumbo Cous Cous / Muhammara

All these dishes were packed with flavour and the exotic ingredients used worked perfectly together. The favourite for both of us was the slow cooked black garlic lamb, melt in your mouth tenderness.

We both enjoyed the atmosphere at Meeka, made all the better for the wonderful service from Jack, obviously compliments to the chef too. It will be added to our favourite restaurants in Perth.

Thanks for reading!

  2. This place looks so interesting and inviting. The food sounds and looks fabulous! We’re still in lockdown in Southern California so I’m enjoying the knowledge that some people are enjoying life–there’s hope!! Thanks for a beautiful post.

  4. The restaurant looks cozy and inviting and the food looks great too.
    I’ve eaten at dozens of Asian restaurants but never a Middle Eastern one, so it’s one to try.
    Thanks for the review Alison.
