The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in 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.

Really good food at good value and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere inside and good location in Hoxton.

An extraordinary culinary and colourful fusion experience so beautifully presented. An absolute must if you would like to try tapas with a twist.

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.

Great cocktail selection at reasonable prices and pretty decor. Staff were really accommodating and helpful. Low key and chilled and close to lots of events venues. Would definitely recommend.

Such delicious food, so many good options on menu, really well priced! all the sauces and sides are also so good

Delicious food, very patient and kind staff, awesome decor

The meal was a truly exceptional experience from the moment our party of 6 arrived. The service was faultless, and our server was tirelessly patient and helpful, explaining dishes and offering advice to ensure our meal was spot on. Every well conceived dish was an adventure in flavours, with the Smoked Hispi and Lahmacun with Oklava Salad particular favourites. The restaurant was full but it made no difference to the speed of service from the open kitchen. It was refreshing to find such a professional team that made you forget there was ever such a thing as lockdown or staff shortages.

Very tasty ,staff friendly food very delicious I recommend my family and friends to came to restaurant and the sweets very tasty

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.

Fantastisches Frühstück, super frisch zubereitet, vegetarische und vegane Optionen, sehr netter Service. Hatten die Avocado und Ei Kombi sowie die Granola Bowl. Auch die Smoothies sind sehr empfehlenswert.

Absolutely very delicious foods and excellent service, especially perfect salad and sauce, if you haven't, try it

Just amazing breakfast for £12 with generous portions of a range of the most absolutely beautiful food items. Nice service Incredible value Such a fantastic atmosphere

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.
