Mediterranean Cafe in City of London, Westminster

Very nice food and nice ambiance

Meals are very good and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Would recommend to anyone who would visit London.

The staff are so nice, a lovely day

Very nice athmosphere, very good food for good price

Six of us popped in there last night. It was no problem to them and they seated us right away. There was a nice buzz about the place and the staff were super friendly. They don't have an alcohol licence at the moment but assured us they will have by the 2nd of May. The food was excellent and we all had something different (I had the Spaghetti Carbonara ... lovely ) and were all served at the same time. We all loved our meals and would highly recommended the Turkish Baclava desert. Great atmosphere, great service and the bill came in at around £150... For six people in Soho, I don't think you could complain about that. We will go back. Thank you ... xx

The common meeting point of Turkiye and British cuisine.

food was tasty and was able to veganise the meze platter starter.. always fun !! the hunk of salmon got good reviews and our waitress was soo lovely and kind!! i appreciate tea with real mint. will be Back

The food was great and the lady that served us was amazing!! ... definitely coming back and recommending it to my friends 🧡

Highly recommended: grilled lamb

Food was banging and the people are lovely. I felt like Ego in Ratatouille when he has that flashback to his childhood cause the food is so nice

Very good lahmacun, bread reminds me of polish pancakes but it's harder and thicker. It's more like a snack rather than full meal but I enjoyed it. Fresh salad too, wouldn't be angry if I could get a little bit more of it. Quick and nice service, place is clean and was quite busy when visited to collect my order.

I’m so glad we came to this place. The food was fantastic and the people were so friendly (the woman even took a photo with my daughter lol). Highly recommended!

Food was absolutely delicious. Service was outstanding.

Desde el momento en que entramos en Sadie nuestra camarera nos hizo más bienvenidos. Ella era muy atento e informativo sobre el menú. Los dos comimos la sopa de pollo (que estaba tan deliciosa) y el kebab de pollo. Ambos platos fueron hermosos presentados y muy sabrosos. Recomendaría encarecidamente este restaurante y gracias Sadie por hacer nuestra experiencia gastronómica tan agradable. Absolutamente me encanta la decoración!

We went for lunch and had a fabulous 2 course meal from their set menu. They don’t have a licence so we bought a bottle of wine from a local shop and they uncorked and provided glasses. Service was excellent, with nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend.

Very good food, service and in the heart of Soho;

Very tasty, could’ve eaten much more mmm. Lovely host filled me in on the history of Violet herself thank you.

Muy buena comida y un ambiente íntimo encantador. El personal era atento y nos atendió. Ningún alcohol servido aún así trajo nuestro propio vino. No se cobra comisión por descorche. Una verdadera joya

Excellent turkish food. Saidi in particular is very kind and makes the whole experience a lot better. Definitely recommend!

Visitado en un Groupon Personal muy amable Excelente comida muy bien presentada Habría dado cinco estrellas si no fuera por los baños horribles y un cargo de centavos por debajo de £ 8 por dos latas de coca de dieta

This café is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the food is simply outstanding. Every dish is made with love and beautifully presented. A perfect spot that leaves you wanting to come back again and again!

The waiter prepared a table for our big group, even if there is minimal space. There was an issue in communication, so one of us didn’t get their order, but the problem was fixed 5 min later. The waiter wanted to apologise with a complementary coffee. Such a nice place to, with the nicest staff!!

Lovely 2 course meal with a Groupon voucher all for £24!!! Very tasty salmon fillet and the spinach wow !! Partner had chicken kebab and again very tasty !! Great service and lovely music playing !

The friendliest restaurant in London. We always feel well looked after. Lovely food! Great value.

La comida es deliciosa y muy razonable. Nos atendió el personal amable, especialmente Pasha, lo recomendaría encarecidamente.

Lovely little cafe with great value food and big portions. Service was a little slow but it was a very busy sunday morning

Took my 8 year old daughter and her best friend for a 3 course lunch (adult size). Both the girls and I ate everything! The girls tried things they have never had before/previously didn’t like and they now have some new favourite foods! Thank you.

Best breakfast and service in town! Waiter was super gentle with our big group

Lunch, or rather, English breakfast at 2pm! Excellent food, impeccable service from the guys. Go there to immerse yourself in British style. One sore point is the lack of beer, wine or any alcoholic drink.

Nice small restaurant, with good friendly family vice to it . Food and service was excellent as well as value for money .

If you like good food? Stop here and eat!

A pesar de las muchas críticas positivas para este café, nos quedamos muy decepcionados. La comida no era genial y el menú de bebidas solo enumera vinos sin alcohol y cervezas. Cuando le preguntamos al camarero, dijo 'no sirvieron alcohol' ¿En serio? Entonces, ¿por qué dice que el café es un local autorizado en su ventana, y por qué su sitio web muestra una carta de vinos adecuada? Si el estatus ha cambiado, ¿por qué no se menciona? El lugar es anticuado, cansado y bastante desastroso, y no habría tenido la mejilla para poner una mesa con colchonetas en esa condición. También hacía mucho frío en el restaurante en la víspera que visitamos. No me gusta hacer esto, pero me temo que no recomendaría este establecimiento a nadie, y ciertamente no volveremos.

The British breakfast was so delicious! Don't miss it! We'd be back to try Mediterranean breakfast as well.

Amazing breakfasts, Lovely atmosphere and really friendly staff. Would definitely go again

Lovely food and spectacular service. Had a great selection of non alcoholic wines too!

Delicious Food, great friendly service at a great price

I really like this place. Great service, friendly staff, and good value food. Easy to secure a booking. Try it!

Had a great breakfast here today! From the moment you walked in to leaving, everything was spic and span! I chose the traditional Turkish breakfast. I had specifically looked for this in advance and ended up at this place. Didn't regret it for a moment! So tasty and fresh. The owners/employees are all super sweet too. It almost felt like eating with family, so warm. Also spoiled with a piece of simit on the house. The atmosphere was good. The restaurant hygienic. The food was great & from a family of entrepreneurs I noticed that these are also incredibly hard workers who deserve at least 6 stars. The hostess in particular is such a sweetheart that I will not soon forget! Don't hesitate and eat here!

Great breakfast, amazing friendly staff, a lot more reasonable than the Breakfast club down the road. Good vibes on the music as well, just a really positive place to recharge after being Londoned! Thank you x

Cozy place, good food and friendly staff! Amazing breakfast. Will come again, thanks

Fast service great tasting and looking food !

Lovely discovery, will come back!

Best moussaka I have ever had and great wine! Really nice food and friendly staff.

Fantastic spot in Soho! The food is absolutely delicious, and the staff are so lovely and friendly – they really make you feel welcome. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great Mediterranean food in a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Esto tiene la mejor comida al mejor precio y con un personal absolutamente encantador. Ali es una ESTRELLA y ha estado aquí por siempre. No te pierdas una comida aquí.

Really nice place for lunch. We had a coffee each and then a burger. The waiter brought us a glass of water (without us asking), which I think is a superb sign of good hospitality service. The burger was tasty and filling, the coffee strong, hot and good quality. The breakfasts looked lovely on a nearby table too. Would love to go again to try something a little more Mediterranean in origin!

Me and my fiancé loved this place! We went out to get breakfast and stumpled across this hodden gem. One of the best weve been to in london! Safe to say we got our money’s worth, and left feeling full😄 amazing atmosphere and the waitor was really nice :D

Had breakfast here for the first time and loved it. Don't bother with a traditional English, try something Turkish because the dish they do with tomato and egg is the ultimate hangover cure. The bagel is also brilliant.

Very nice food highly It's a great place, the breakfasts are great and the dinners are just as great..

A hidden gem in Soho’s vibrant, multicultural scene! The Mediterranean flavors are incredible, and the service is outstanding. The Cheese Börek with its crispy layers and fiery sauce was unforgettable, the Beef Burger perfectly spiced, and the Tiramisu a creamy, indulgent finale. Fantastic food, warm staff, and an exciting, diverse atmosphere—highly recommended!

I discovered this little gem in London over 24 years ago and every time we visit the capital, we always eat here. The food is excellent and very good value for money, considering one is in the centre of the city. Service is great too.

Small intimate, seemingly authentic Med Cafe...our food, cooked freshly, chicken kebab, lamb kebab, carbonara, all clean plates at the end. Decent glass of wine, nice unrushed atmosphere, would definitely drop in again, very reasonably priced for London.

Walking around looking for breakfast and found this place. Lovely breakfast! Lovely service, friendly staff. Clean environment. Welcoming. Perfect Saturday breakfast

I had breakfast here on Boxing day. It was a nice Turkish breakfast (good portion and tasty). I was a bit overwhelmed with the server always loitering around since I was the only customer in the morning. Beware that there is a 2 pounds fee of service which I found strange.

Lovely service and delicious food. Thank you, would highly recommend

Excellent breakfast menu. I tried the Turkish breajfast which was delicious. Food took some time to be served BUT it was Christmas day... I would definitely visit again!

From starter to desert, Everything was very tasty!

The food was incredible, tonight was my first time visiting. I came across the restaurant by chance and will defo be retuning. Thank you

A really good restaurant in Soho with great food, outstanding service and a good atmosphere. A London must-do after a day of shopping

Great spot. Can tell they care about their customers. Would highly recommend. 💯

What a great find!! Why did I not know of this place before? I have been searching for a good quality Turkish Pide in London for years, and finally found it! The staff was so friendly. Such a warm, welcoming place! Someone had a birthday and the staff put together a dramatic and cheerful birthday cheer. It was so heartwarming in this festive season. Highly recommend this place. Definitely going back!!

A very cozy place with great food and the nicest people!

I have been visiting this venue for the last 13 years with former work colleagues , always around Christmas. The welcome that we receive is always exceptional and we are recognised by Ali and his team. The food and service is impeccable and prices are great bearing in mind that it’s in the middle of Soho. I’m happy to recommend and will be back again soon.

Highly impressed with the level of service provided. Sadie was hospitable and attentive. I enjoyed an order of the French toast and orange juice.

Great little restaurant with proper Mediterranean grill. Chicken livers are great. Prawn cocktail delicious. Mixed grill a delight. Seafood linguine worth a try. Lovely staff.

We came for breakfast. We were very pleased. Turkish breakfast plate and menemen are very successful. They serve it with hot pita on the side.

We ordered the set meal. ( 2 course and 3 course meal) The starters were amazing. The lamb kebab was good but the chicken kebab was overcooked and difficult to chew The ice cream was rock solid like it was frozen too hard. It wasn't a very pleasant experience with the dessert. The total came up to £50 ( including a coffee and a tea) The place is very tight as well. I think the price makes sense considering it's in central London however I wish the chicken was better cooked and we had higher quality ice-cream

Wonderful atmosphere and friendly welcome. Fab Turkish breakfast and beautiful fresh eggs. Great customer service. A real find. Highly recommended.

Have breakfast here, real quality for a reasonable price! And super good service, especially by the hostess Sadyie and the boy at the door!

Super service, excellent food, especially the Turkish Breakfast. We enjoyed it a lot. Can really recommend that place

A Soho institution. Been coming here for decades. Varied menu very good value for central London. Great ambience with warm, friendly staff.

Amazing food, great environment best service.

A yummy in my tummy experience 😋 😍

Fantastic authentic food at good prices. Definate recommend

Service was very friendly in a relaxed and cosy, tiny restaurant. Young gentleman who served our table was extremely polite and helpful. Food was fantastic and nothing but value for money considering you’re in the middle of Soho. Full of flavour, all home made in front you. Would 100% recommend. Will definitely be back for sure ☺️

Great Turkish breakfast on a rainy day in London. Lovely place to shelter. Thank you

A lovely family owned restaurant with great service and caring staff. Had the smoked Salmon with Avocado and the pancake filled with spinach. Definitely one of the best meals I’ve ever had! The owner and servers are all absolutely lovely people and made sure this wouldn’t be my last trip to London just so I can try their food again.

I take street photography groups here and they love it. Great service, great food, great staff

We had the moussaka and lamb kofte for main and halloumi and mixed meze for starters. Everything was absolutely amazing, the service , the flavours and the freshness of the food , the atmosphere. We hadn't planned to go here but this made a great ending to our already lovely day. Will definitely be visiting again , highly recommended

I have never felt so welcomed at a place. The waiters took good care of us making sure if we needed anything else. Portions were generous of good quality and prices very affordable for London standards. I highly recommend this place. Especially a lady made us feel like home with her hospitality. Tesekuler one more time!

Very cute! The breakfast ist very good an the ambiente and personal very friendly!

This is a must visit when in Soho! I look forward to stopping in for their famous Turkish Breakfast each time I’m in London, as well as the mouthwatering mussels which is one of my favourite dishes ever! Since our first visit here in June 2023, the staff have become like family and we have met so many other great people here! The restaurant fosters a community amongst their patrons, something so rare to find and what makes Mediterranean Cafe and Violets (next door) so special.

The Mediterranean Cafe in Soho is always our first stop when visiting London. The staff go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and happy, and the food is always so fresh and delicious! If visiting for breakfast, they do a great English Breakfast, but my personal favourite is the Turkish Breakfast or the Thasos! For lunch or dinner, the mussel entree is a must!!! Honestly, anything is great. Such an underrated gem in Soho!

Such an authentic and cozy cafe! (Thank God) we couldn't get a table at the yellow chain next door and then there were seven of us in this treasure chest. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and in a good mood. Great atmosphere and you can watch the chef prepare the food. Plus the price is right. If we ever end up in London again, we'll definitely come back!

Very exquisite and the food was delicious plus the service was one of a kind

Very good breakfast and cool atmosphere 👍

Very nice staff, food was delicious and the vibes are just so home-like

Everything about this place is perfect

Visited for both dinner and breakfast during my recent stay in London. The food is wonderful, the staff are polite and welcoming. Lovely place with a real family atmosphere which I enjoyed very much. A real Delight. Highly recommend.

Very friendly staff, good breakfast 👍

We ordered menemen and Turkish breakfast. It was really great! Especially menemen was very delicious. 😍 The staff was very friendly and smiling. I definitely recommend it for a satisfying and delicious breakfast.

Brilliant service, food was quick, fresh and delicious. £21.95 for a 3 course meal and drinks are very good priced. 10/10

Food was amazing had the 3 courses for £21.95 was very much worth it and the staff were attentive and helpful

Brilliant culinary experience! The food, atmosphere & most importantly staff were top tier. I would like to thank You Ali for his wonderful service and looking after us at every stage of the meal. Will be back with family for sure!👏👏

Food poisoning. It was dirty, the toilets were dirty, rude guests at another table and staff doing nothing about it.

Had a wonderful breakfast, we were served by a lovely lady called Sadie, excellent value for money! when we are next in London we will definitely be back. 100% recommend.

Great service, lovely hosts especially Paris!!

Lovely staff, incredible food. It is a super cozy small place, you can feel the history when you walk in.

I've been coming to this place for quite a while now! The food is delicious, great variety and lovely vintage atmosphere 😊

What a beautiful place, my go to! Staff and everyone is so wonderful and sweet, especially Sadie! The food is very excellent and they have a great selection. Atmosphere is incredible and very welcoming. Whole heartedly recommend :)
