The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in Dalston Hackney London

I wrote this back in February 2020 when this place was in the o2 centre: I was haplessly wandering towards Wagamama when I was intercepted by one of the waiters working at this adjacent establishment. ‘Good evening sir, the restaurant you’re about to enter is an insipid and hackneyed chain’, he proclaimed, ‘and we have a chef preparing fresh food on site, we offer fusion cuisine and an unrivalled view of the YO! Sushi conveyor belt and what’s more we’ve climbed to the lofty heights of number 38 on the TripAdvisor rankings’. Coincidentally I had recently made a resolution to only consume fusion cuisine, so needless to say I was convinced. Upon entering the already excellent lighting was adjusted to my taste... I’ve lost the second page of my review, but from here on in the experience just got better and better. I look forward to tracking this place down again in Dalston.

Just happened to be walking past Gia and thought we’d give it a try. Glad we did. The food was delicious and the service quick and friendly. Will be returning very soon.

This place is a hidden gem, I use to go to cafe route for my weekly brunch and was disappointed with how the portions were reducing and prices were going up. I came across this place and can honestly say it’s the best place for breakfast/brunch. This is coming from someone who has been to nearly all of the places around Angel/ dalston. On Monday I decided to invite my family here for dinner, the lamb kebab is exceptional, tender, flavoursome and great portions too.

Great food with lovely service. Evening started well with perfect Margaritas and with suggestions from our waiting staff, we ordered exactly the right food - all delicious

Me fui con un par de mis amigos turcos y me gustó que era más de comida turca para probar que los kebabs que eran tan acostumbrado a ver en los restaurantes turcos. El personal era muy amable y me encanta que tome polaroids singulares de los clientes y consérvalas en una pared de la galería para saborear la memoria; un ambiente muy relajado! Sin duda volveremos.
