The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Mediterranean food

The mixed shawarma was unbelievable and the staff are marvelous. This is my go to restaurant in South Kensington for dinner on my way back to the hotel. The portions are so large I have a before bed snack. The food reminds me of months in Lebanon…

A wonderful cafe set in the bustling heart of Old Amersham. This cafe is the perfect escape for a lovely coffee and cake with company or with family and friends.

Excellent food was let down by the service. Waiting staff were cold and inattentive. Having experience with Spanish food and wine, I found the staff uninformed. Many of the wines on their wine list were unavailable. The sommelier was useless. Pity that the overall experience took away from the food enjoyment.

We go regularly as it is a great place for lunch. Great food and a fantastic service with a really good choice. Thoroughly recommended.

We had the pleasure of eating at La Marina for a special occasion, and it was truly wonderful! The location is perfect, with beautiful views and a calm atmosphere that made our stay so relaxing. The service was spectacular from start to finish, with every detail thoughtfully taken care of. A special shout-out to Pedro, who went above and beyond to make our visit even more memorable. His attention to detail and warm hospitality made all the difference. We can’t wait to return, and we highly recommend!

Service was slow and our main meals (2 x targines) were very mid. Not particularly flavourful and lacking in anything beyond the main ingredients (chicken/lamb). Babganosh starter was good tho.

Great from start to finish. The food is amazing! We shared the hot mezze to start, which was spot on (and huge). Then a mixed grill for me and a lamb stew for my other half - the meat was so tender and really well seasoned. Totally random but the salad with it was fantastic! Portion sizes are very healthy - we were both defeated (again, rarely happens). Service was attentive and friendly. All in all, we had a great meal and will definitely come back :)

Shishbourne is our local we go atleast once a month. As a couple and with friends The staff the decor the food are all excellent and to top it all there is live singer most Friday and Saturday nights . We will definitely be going back . Thankyou again for a lovely evening Sue x

Food was 10/10. Good portion size for the price & tasty. Made my day getting okra & veg with my fish!!

The food is just great! Quantities are super generous. Music is good and the service is excellent (even the chairs are good…)

The hospitality here was second to none. I felt like I was in a family owned cafe, off the beaten path on the Continent. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and they were some of the best I evet had. I'm frustrated that we didn't discover Luscious until the last morning of our stay in Edinburgh. Well worth a visit.

In attesa del volo, in notevole ritardo, decidiamo di pranzare presso questo ristorante nell’aeroporto di Gatwick. Prezzi competitivi visto la media in Inghilterra e soprattutto in aereoporto. Simpatiche le proposte con le wraps che viene presentato come piatto completo essendo anche di insalata e oummus di accompagnamento.

This place used to be one of the gems of Wapping Wharf and I've been a regular customer for years now, but it has deteriorated to the point I won't bother visiting again. It has gradually become more and more grimy and needs a thorough clean/refresh. During the pandemic the shop became machine-service-only, so you no longer speak to anyone making the food - it's like McDonalds. There's also now a weird counter in front of the kitchen which makes the whole area cramped and messy; presumably it's to service the queue of Deliveroo drivers. Last time I visited they had taken halloumi (the only veggie option) off the menu, replacing it with fake chicken. Presumably this is to cater for vegans, but a Greek restaurant without halloumi is a bad Greek restaurant imo. Pork, chicken or fake chicken are now the only options. The prices have gone up significantly, the loyalty scheme was canned, nothing seems as fresh as it used to, etc etc etc. I just looked at a map and saw that there are now dozens of restaurants in the chain. That explains it. Efficiencies have killed this place. IMO it should move out of Wapping Wharf and become delivery-only, so somewhere better can take its place. Massive shame.

It would have been a good night had it not been for the unprofessional attitude of the manager, Having looked at the menu on their website, we decided to book for a team dinner as the prices fit within our budget - The weekday menu is advertised as £17.50 for 2 courses and £22.00 for 3 courses. The meal was OK, and the service was great (I do feel bad for the waitress giving a 1 star review) the problems arose when the bill arrived. You get presented with a blank piece of paper apart from the total, no breakdown of meals or prices, and it was far higher than it should have been. In our party of 18, 10 people had 2 courses and 8 had 3 courses and they tried to charge almost £550.00. I questioned this and was told I would need to speak with the manager. When he came out of the kitchen, he didn't walk further than the door so we had to go over to him (this conversation wouldn't have disturbed any other customers as we were the only people there). From the start he was incredibly rude and when we questioned the amount of the bill he insisted it was correct. We tried to explain that the menu on the website very clearly stated different prices and even checked it whilst we were talking just in case anything had changed - it hadn't but he didn't care. He continued to insist the price charged was correct, which was £27.50 per person, we pointed out that was the price advertised on the weekend menu and we were there on a Wednesday. His response to this they were old prices and how we can we expect to only pay £17.50 or £22.00. He couldn't tell me how we were meant to be aware of this without being told. He continued to argue, yell and dismiss all of our questions, until he stomped off into the kitchen yelling over his shoulder for us to get out! We settled the bill, at the advertised price, and ensured that the service charge added did go to the staff, but this encounter did overshadow the evening and is not how I expect any customer to be treated in a restaurant. I would not recomend going to this restaurant based on the way the manager treats people who have the "audacity" to question him, if you do decide to go make you check the prices before ordering anything. The picture below shows the menu the night we were there and I have checked their website again today and the weekday menu is still advertised at the same price.

This has became a favourite place for my mum so I take her here as often as possible. The food is really nice but the staff really add that extra personal touch. Zoe is such a beautiful person! She really genuinely engages with all her regular customers. The rest of the staff are all lovely too. Mum feels like it's a wee social thing( so do I!) Thanks girls xx
