The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in Aldersgate, Cheap City of London, Westminster London

Chose this restaurant as we were looking for a quick Turkish lunch with a spacious interior . We had a cold selection of mezze for 2 which came with only 2 dolmades along with hummus,tzatsiki and 2 other dips. For mains ,we ordered a platter of grilled meat with fries,mixed salad and pitta bread. Food was tasty and of a big portion. Service was friendly. Enjoyable meal.

The food is actually tasty, however this restaurant is let down by many things. The portions are for kids, every adult (6 of us) left hungry despite ordering starter and main. The service is very slow and also a little haphazard as different waiters were involved throughout our dining experience and each one didn’t know what was discussed with last one. We had to ask maybe 5 or 6 times for extra cutlery and some smaller glasses for the kids. Not sure why they kept ignoring/forgetting this. We were in a bit of a hurry at the end as we had a show to go to at The O2. We let them know of our situation and requested the bill. It took 15 minutes to come because they insisted that the table be cleared before the bill. The waiters weren’t unfriendly but they certainly weren’t anything memorable. And I know this is London/The O2 but I felt it was slightly overpriced for what it was. We have been to plenty of Turkish/Lebanese type restaurants and the portions, quality, taste, are all far superior for a lot less price. I’m not sure if I would go back again. Instant feeling is no, however there are a lot of junk food restaurants at The O2 which means choice is quite limited so perhaps I’ll give it another shot.
