The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in East of England

Just reading these reviews. I did not write a review at the time as I hoped it was an isolated incidence, and nobody enjoys leaving a negative review in this climate. I see nobody has mentioned the smell inside the restaurant. As I walked in I wrinkled my nose at a smell that wafted over, I assumed it was a man placed near the front door. I was in a party of 4 adults/couples. We ordered drinks and the meze arrived ! it was a bowl of green dip and tiny triangles of cold hard pitta bread. Nobody said a word as this was a fun night. We ordered main course, I ordered the prawns !! in a sauce which read very appetising. Everybody was served and as an adult I said please start. People did slightly. Then came over again the terrible stench, I looked at the other female and we both mouthed " wind"....the males said no, its the drains. It was awful. I would say I waited a further 15 minutes for the prawn dish, the sauce was a dead ringer for a jar of Lloyd Grossman...by then we all started to speak about the food etc. The other lady got up to go to the toilet, was in there an age. I jumped up and went to the toilet as walking home. I can only say the contents of my stomach left my body, although not quite as as soon as I went to wash my hands, where I had flushed the toilet bowl was rising. I can laugh about it now. Then I had to sit again and my god I was in a state. Flushed again, and again it rose up. I did not say a word to friends until Christmas eve. As my husband and I started our walk I confided my story with " I need to go again" he said you cannot. I said I need to and I scoured alleys , bushes,,,,it was torture, He said, I will rush on, give me your bag, and off he shot. He flung he front door open and I made it. Hopefully the drains are fixed and the prawns are defrosted properly now. It seems so with all the great reviews. I do remember all the staff were attentive, and asked a few times how my meal was. And being typically British I said " fine". The truth as eating the food we all found it underwhelming.

Amazing food served here! Service was great, nothing too much trouble- all staff were happy and gave service with a smile. I had lamb cofte and my husband had sea bass. Desserts were also delicious. Thank you all.

A very quirky and lovely place. The atmosphere was okay but the food was excellent and the service was amazing too, highly recommend 5*****

It's a really nice place, The waiters are lovely and really make you laugh. The food was amazing, and served really quickly.

We had an absolutely amazing time here for a birthday dinner! We were served by a lovely guy named Javier who was attentive, talkative and gave us a really excellent evening. The food is brilliant for what you pay and the steak is good quality meat and really delicious. You can ask for it thicker or thinner cut depending on how you like it and they change out your plates when they start to get cold so you never run out of time to eat. Will definitely be back again soon!

I had a fantastic meal here and would recommend this place to everyone.

Absolutely fabulous food and great service, portions were large, no one left hungry! This was our first visit and we will be back!
