This place is a hidden gem, I use to go to cafe route for my weekly brunch and was disappointed with how the portions were reducing and prices were going up. I came across this place and can honestly say it’s the best place for breakfast/brunch. This is coming from someone who has been to nearly all of the places around Angel/ dalston. On Monday I decided to invite my family here for dinner, the lamb kebab is exceptional, tender, flavoursome and great portions too.

Excellent menemen with soft, warm Turkish bread and good Turkish coffee. It is a lovely room with a great laid back vibe. All our breakfasts were tasty and looked lovely too. Charming service. Will be returning.

Visited on a Saturday. Close to Rectory Road tube. The food here is absolutely delicious and the potions generous. Meat very tender, salad and hummus devine. Loved the ‘toasted’ wraps. Lovely, helpful staff, very attentive. Very highly recommended.

Awful experience all our mains arrived and they had forgotten one them. Our Meze starter arrived at end of the meal. It seems the owners were more interested in dining with their friends than serving the customers. With so much choice in stoke Newington sure how they survive

irkcilik yaptigindan suphelendigim yer, soyleki arkadasimla bir kac kez gitmistik, bir keresinde mekan sahibi oldugunu dusundugum beyfendi kendi raki masasindan kalkip yukses sesle konusmamazi ve bacak bacak ustune atip oturmamizi soyledi (kendisi cok daha kaba oturuyordu:), biz de ozur dileyip kibarca farkinda olmadigimizi soyledik, anlam veremedik uzerine de gitmedik, sonrasinda tekrar tek basima gittim, bu sefer de yine ayni beyfendi telefonda cok yukses sesle konustugumu, biraz tehditkar bir tonla bir daha buraya gelmemi soyledi, turkce konusmamiz mi rahatsiz etti, ya da irkci bir rahatsizlik mi duydu tam anlayamadim, ama bir gariplik oldugu kesin, ki ben sol goruslu bir insanim, gunahini yine de almayayim, ama sonuc olarak kasitli bir seyler dondugu kesindi, ingilizler cok daha yukses sesle konusur cok daha rahat oturur, burda baska bir ayrimcilik soz konusu, cok uzucu, yani duzgun bir aksanla turkce konusuyorsaniz tavsiyem mutlaka kisik sesle konusun, bacak bacak ustune de atmayin, kovuyorlar :))) ama ingilizce konusursaniz sorun yok ;) The place that I suspect of racism is that we went a few times with my friend, the gentleman I thought was the owner of the place once got up from his raki table and told us not to speak loudly and dont sit with our legs crossed (he was sitting much more rudely:), we apologized and politely him We said that we were not aware of it, we could not understand it, we did not go further, then I went alone again, this time again the same gentleman told me that I was speaking very loudly on the phone in a somewhat threatening tone, that I should come here again, did our speaking Turkish bother you or a racist discomfort? heard, I couldn't quite understand, but it's definitely a strange thing, I'm a socialist person, I won't take sin anyway, but as a result, something intentional was definitely wrong, the British people speak a lot louder and sit much more comfortably, there is another discrimination here, there is a lot of discrimination. If you speak Turkish with a nice accent, my advice is to speak in a low voice, don't cross your legs, they're fired :))) but if you speak English, it's okay ;)

I eat in here almost once a week. When I moved to the area last year just as the 1st lockdown was ending and waking up on the Saturday after a hard days moving I came here for a fry and boy is it a fry. It’s no Ulster fry but it is a great fry. Roll forward a year and I have tried a lot of the delicious food on the menu. Their lamb ribs are amazing. I would highly recommend any lamb dish here. Not only is the food good but the service is great too.

Terrible experience. Our waitress made an innocent mistake with the drink in my order. The “manager” took this out on me, shouted at me in the restaurant in the presence of other customers and refused to let me state the actual situation for clarity. My distaste for the incorrect drink was described as a “taste test” by the manager. He also refused to provide me with another drink. Furthermore, he continued to shout at the poor waiter infront of the other customers. He did not apologise to me or her. Overall, a horrible, embarrassing experience for a birthday outing. I will not be visiting again.

I have loved this place from the first moment I set foot in it, back when it opened just down the road, on Kingsland Road, Dalston. If you are in to Turkish food of the finest quality, I urge you to look no further than CheMen Restaurant. The mezze is so varied, as it should be, but these guys don’t believe in scrimping on produce either: everything is of the finest quality, but also cooked with such care and attention. Not only is the food second to none, you won’t find a more welcoming place on the strip. You will never find them turning table here either: you can sit for several hours, chewing the fat and sipping Old Fashioneds with your besties whilst wondering whether or not you could cope with one of their mouthwatering kebabs after all. Just go. You will not regret it.

The owner was not open for any comments about the food or service about our experience and I was very bluntly shut off after my attemps of making a comment.

I am a very busy doctor at a local hospital. I run a team of 72 doctors and nurses. We have saved over 1000 patients during covid lock down.We initially had a good experience with my 3 doctor colleagues. However, we ordered all the mains at once and my order was not made. Even though the waiter had taken all the orders. I asked 6 times for my order and eventually after 20 mins it arrived. The others had almost finished. I complained and was given £.7,50 off. The bill came to approx £70. I paid by Amex which was accepted by the waiter. I put my pin in twice and it did not appear to be working. I called Amex in front of the waiter. I was standing at the till and the phone with Amex for 10 mins. Then the manager came. He said we do not accept Amex. not this was NOT advertised and you normally expect. I complained that the waiter wasted my time as he should know that Amex is accepted. The manager started shouting at me and told me he had a very busy day, even though I pointed out the only on third of the restaurant was full. He got even anger and threatened to charge me more (so exclude the government deal). I told him that was illegal. I told him I was a doctor and showed my pass (also my credit cards say Dr). Even then he continued to insult me. He knew I was doctor. The manager refused to give me his name . I told him I would be writing a review and he said so what. EXTREMELY BAD experience and the end of a busy surgery. THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT ANT COMPLAINTS. I also told the manager I will be passing on my experience to my staff. He did not care. Also people may have been smoking as I saw an ashtray with stubs on the counter. It smelt awful. I am sending pictures to the council

This is our local Turkish restaurant and I’m glad to say that it’s our favourite one! They re-opened after considerable refurbishment under new management a few days before lockdown in March 2020. We started buying take-aways as soon as it was possible and they were consistently delicious. I’m so glad that we can now use its ample tables and welcoming space for meals both inside and on the terrace. Perfect for social distancing not only in summer but also when the weather turns colder! The service and food are both impeccable. The owners, Jamal and Kumru, are there everyday chatting to customers and helping maintain the high quality of the cooking. Don’t miss out!

Sind durch Zufall über Tripadvisor auf das Café Che-Men gestoßen und waren absolut begeistert. Das Restaurant bietet eine große Auswahl an typisch mediterranen Gerichten an, dazu rustikalen, gemütlichen Vintage Flair. Außer Hauptgerichten gibt es auch eine ganztägige Frühstückskarte und sowohl warme als auch kalte Gerichte, je nach Lust und Laune. Wir wurden sehr freundlich bedient und der türkische Tee am Schluss ging auf's Haus. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet! Aufgrund der etwas versteckten Lage scheint das Café tagsüber nicht wirklich busy zu sein. Davon sollte man sich auf keinen Fall abschrecken lassen :) Ein Besuch lohnt sich!

Let me just start by saying that this place is an absolute gem. It has a great contemporary atmosphere implementing a modern style but still giving you a bit of a retro vibe. As to the food, there is where this place really shines. Rustic Mediterranean cuisine to give you a touch of the region and to make you feel nice and cosy. The staff was friendly and helping. Definitely would go on to eat there again. Personal recommendation try the Menemen and absolutely have a glass of Turkish tea. One of the gems of Hackney.

We went there on a Saturday night as everything else around was very crowdy, and we had fantastic time. The food was delicious (10 points for the vegetarian selection!) and the service was great. We spent quite some time there but didn't feel rushed at all and people serving us were incredibly nice. The music was very good as well. It feels that it may be one of the few still undiscovered by crows gems in Dalston. I would definitely recommend and I will definitely visit again!

We went with some friends to the Che-Men Cafe and since we did not know the area, were quite surprised by how excellent (and vegetarian-friendly) the food was. The service was kind and funny. I particularly liked the atmosphere of the place, that was nicely decorated, with books and art pieces, rather quiet but with great background music (Leonard Cohen). The place is a nice contrast to the other dark, loud and crowded pubs we had seen before. We had a great time to dine and chat and even play a set of games without time pressure and even with some desert on the house ;)It's definetely become one of my favourite places to hang out with friends and as a vegetarian, one of my favourite places to dine.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, lots of vegetarian options and good value for money; the portion sizes were perfect and it tastes homemade.Can't ask for more!

Down to earth, no fuss, generous portions, excellently prepared dishes.Turkish style food, with a more varied and imaginative menu than one would usually expect, with friendly service and no airs and graces. Che-Men compares favourably to all Turkish restaurants I have been to in Istanbul, Ankara, Europe, the US and South Africa.The decor, ambience and attitude of the staff make this a very relaxing experience - no pretence. And the meze and kebabs are first class. The meat has been very well seasoned and is cooked to succulent perfection. How could it improve? Only with one measure: serve the Efes on draught instead of in bottles, but maybe I'm just fussy!Cafe Che-Men give us a lesson in how to keep it simple for a big impact.

Unfortunately I can not agree what all the "1 review persons" say about this restaurant. To start with the service, which was not more than average and eventually less than average. The food was nothing special, just a normal treat what you can expect in this kind of restaurants. The portions were generous, but that's it. It does not make a good restaurant.Time to pay - they advertised to accept American Express, but surprice surprice, their machine did mot read my Amex. Even though I had judt used it in an other restaurant without any problems. And actually it worked just fine in the next restaurant I visited.When I questioned do they really accept Amex, the service was not at all friendly.It makes me wonder if this is the first Tripadvisor scam that I've ran into.

Couldn't recommend this Restaurant enough. The food is amazing and has never disappointed in the many times I have been, they also have a great selection of beers. The staff are very friendly and are happy to go the extra mile. GO CHE MEN!!!!

I cant seem to stop going to this place. Its amazing food combined with its chilled out atmosphere, makes it my favourite haunt in Dalston.I had an " Adana kofte" today which is grilled mince meat spiced up with various herbs. The feeling of succulent meat melting in your mouth is en experience to be sample.Give it a go and you will keep going

My wife and I were going to a concert nearby and decided to have lunch at this restaurant first. The older waitress who greeted us was polite and took us to a table and we got a menu but no wine list.
