The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in England

Fabulous tasty food, service was amazing even though it was very busy, always someone there to check when we wanted more food/drink, all waiters were happy which was nice to see!

We’d been waiting to visit Lola’s for a while as every time we visit Bournemouth it’s been fully booked. Finally got in and were waiting to be delighted. … however, the food was outstandingly average.. the saving grace was the waitress, who was great. In addition the toilets weren’t clean and had parts missing from the flush. Overall it looked like the whole restaurant could do with some TLC. Disappointed

Estaba en el centro de diseño de negocios y busqué un restaurante local. Las críticas no fueron erróneas. La comida era deliciosa. Tuvimos el menú de almuerzo establecido, que era muy bueno.

The best food in Bicester and excellent service at a reasonable price, we enjoyed ourselves and could not have asked for better.

We called in for a late lunch and were lucky enough to get a table straight away. There was a warm welcoming atmosphere and staff were friendly and efficient. We ordered a selection of tapas which were all excellent and portion sizes were just right. Good value for money and would highly recommend.

Had a great time. Food was excellent so was the service. Our waiter Volkan was very friendly and he made sure we enjoyed our dinner at a table of our choice..

We went on my birthday as a family. We had two boys aged 12 and 10 years old and three adults. We opted for a starter each and a main course each. The steak I had was very tender and just right for how I had ordered it. It had a nice salad with it and I had a side of chips to go with it. It was very tasty. The other adults enjoyed their choices and the boys liked their choices too. The food arrived hot and tasty in a reasonable time. Great experience.

Superb service to accompany fabulous food. From the complimentary bread, to the Turkish Tea, my meal and service was brilliant. I would highly recommend Sultans to anyone. Thank you for an excellent meal and a better all round experience.

From the moment we stepped into Lavish, we were welcomed by the warm, inviting ambiance, paired with attentive service, set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. But the real star of the night was the food and the flavorful sauces they used. We started with the beetroot appetizer, which was a delightful surprise. The earthy sweetness of the beets was perfectly balanced with a creamy, tangy dressing, making for a refreshing and vibrant start. Alongside, the calamari was cooked to perfection—tender on the inside, lightly crispy on the outside. Grilled octopus was another appetizer that was absolutely perfect! For the mains, we opted for a variety of dishes to fully experience the restaurant’s expertise in grilling. The chicken shish was succulent and well-marinated, and preserved its juicy tenderness. The ribeye steak was another standout—cooked exactly to our preference, with a rich, buttery flavor that melted in the mouth. The lamb beyti, wrapped in lavash and served with a flavorful tomato sauce and creamy yogurt, was a comforting, aromatic dish that showcased the chef’s mastery of traditional flavors. Pairing all this with a well-curated wine selection and a cozy yet elegant atmosphere, Lavish exceeded all expectations. We tried red wine and it was amazing! We were so full with the yummy food so we couldn't try the desserts but they all looked good! Will try next time for sure! Whether you’re in the mood for seafood, steak, chicken or hamburger, this place delivers on every level. We’ll definitely be returning soon! My kids loved the atmosphere as well! And service was amazing, so many helpful positive people! 5 stars🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

We waited 55 minutes for our food despite the restaurant not being that busy and having no warning about any delay. The food itself (when it eventually arrived) was tasty but the service was really bad, with no one interested in taking our order or checking on us at any point. This was topped off by a bizarre interaction with the waiter when I ordered a bottle of Peroni, who tried to make me change my order to an Efes. I get it, it's a Turkish beer and a nice one, I just happen to prefer Peroni. It then arrived pre-poured in a half-pint glass and there was no sign of the rest of my 330ml bottle, which we were charged for in full. Luckily, I was spared the embarrassment a second time because no one ever came back to offer me another drink when I finished it. We could have just come on a bad day, other reviews are largely positive, but we didn't get more than a cursory apology or even a thank you and goodbye when we left. Overall, this was some of the worst service I've ever had eating out.

I recently visited at Volare, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, the warm and friendly staff made us feel welcome and well taken care of. The tapas selection was fantastic, with a great variety of fresh and flavourful dishes. Each plate was beautifully presented, and the flavours were spot on. Amazing value for the quality of food and service. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were very reasonable.

Sotirios is an absolute must visit - everything about it was 5star! The place has a lovely vibe, the staff were absolutely faultless, and the food was to die for. Cannot wait to go back.

Absolutely superb food and service. Freshly cooked too perfection ! Staff are lovely, very helpful and knowledgeable to recommend dishes Ali specifically was great !

First visit to Truva, and very impressed with food, service and staff. Flatbread and dips we're unexpected, and delicious. We were a group of six and all thoroughly enjoyed our choices. For me the outstanding course was the Mushroom Saute starter. Highly recommended.

Always a great experience at the Island. Brilliant food and service. They have a good selection of Greek dishes and desserts.
