The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in East of England

Real bit of grub here, meat was moist and so am I. Ella was the best waitress I’ve met. Cat’s sauce was unreal. Couldn’t recommend more

Found this place by accident and so glad we did. Great food and service, reasonably priced will definitely go again.

El local atendió un velatorio que celebramos durante unos 100 dolientes. Julia y su personal eran brillantes desde cuando preguntamos hasta el día en sí. La difusión de sándwiches, bocadillos y pastel en sí fue soberbia y muy elogiada por los asistentes, incluidos aquellos con necesidades dietéticas especiales. Gracias.

I had the pleasure of eating at Vonnies Balkan Express. Delicious veggie somun went down lovely. Would highly recommend you experience the cuisine.

We had a lovely birthday celebration with superb food from Sabor Espanol. Padron Peppers and crochettas to start - with a delicious tortilla - and then paella (mixed seafood and chicken and vegetable) with a side order of pistou. All finished off with a lovely cheesecake. All was cooked to perfection- lovely flavours - add wine for a perfect evening ! Thank you SO much. 10/10.

So glad Brentwood now has an amazing Chef. Every dish here I cannot fault. Fresh, tasty, well presented. The whole team are lovely. Well done.

Excellent and tasty food. We ate with my friends and we thought that we were eat in Greece.we tried gyros if course and it was fabulous...greek salad ,tzatziki ,mousakas and kleftiko were so tasty ..very clean and tidy place too...for sure I will be their best customer...easily recommended.

Lovely Turkish restaurant, this is our favourite one so far!! Food is amazing, service is really good!! I ordered grilled mushrooms and the salmon fillet. My boyfriend ordered crispy battered prawns and chicken shish. He loved it!! I tried a bit of his chicken, tastes so good!!!!! Rice is soft, the salad is flavoursome and the salmon is beautiful!! We are 100% coming back here!!

You can taste the passion in every bite.

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..

Wonderful little Turkish restaurant in Theydon Bois. I can highly recommend the Mediterranean Breakfast (pictured) and the lemongrass and ginger tea. Service was attentive and cheerful from all staff. Will definitely be stopping back here next time! ✅️

The food was absolutely lovely, but unfortunately, the service let the experience down. The waiters seemed more interested in posing for Instagram pictures and videos than actually looking after customers, which made the atmosphere feel very fake and forced. At the end of our meal, we were surprised to be told that they needed the table back because they were ‘too busy,’ even though we had only been there for an hour. Normally, we would have been offered a complimentary drink, but that didn’t happen this time. Overall, while the food was great, the lack of genuine hospitality and focus on social media rather than customer service was disappointing.

Tishka gets a full five stars from this happy customer! We were on a vital mission: securing some proper breakfast butties (that's Yorkshire for 'edible happiness between two slices'). Tishka nailed it. The service was so efficient, they could probably butter toast blindfolded. The food was simply outstanding – proof that sometimes the best things in life are just a perfectly executed butty. And the price? Let's just say my wallet didn't need a lie-down afterwards. Top marks, Tishka! You've shown that even something as humble as a breakfast butty can reach for the stars.

Came across this restaurant by accident after a long walk to find a place to eat. It may not look very inviting from outside and inside but the food...just wow! Very atentive service, big portions at reasonable price.

Excellent food and service decently priced, would recommend.
