The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in London

We were here for their take on Sunday lunch and to celebrate my birthday. We were greeted by a friendly and professional young woman, given options of where we would prefer to be seated, and ultimately received excellent service. The staff were friendly, efficient, and well presented. The food was brilliant, DELICIOUS!! I had the chicken and my partner had the lamb for our main. The meats were well seasoned, full of flavour, and cooked well. The lamb was incredibly tender and oozing with juices. We had bread and olives for starters and Haloumi. I'd highly recommend this restaurant for a cozy Sunday lunch. The options on the regular menu looked very appetizing too. We saw a few other diners have lobster which looked AMAZING and the group sitting next to us were moaning and groaning with delight as they tucked into their desserts. compliments to the staff at this restaurant. Thank you for the experience.

Treated our son, son in law and 1, 1/2 year old grandson. They loved it. So sad to see that it is permanently closed as wanted to treat them again and they live in Muswell Hill.

This is the best kebab in London. The bread is so nice and buttery and the meat is great. Also great prices and the free salad is a bonus.

The mixed shawarma was unbelievable and the staff are marvelous. This is my go to restaurant in South Kensington for dinner on my way back to the hotel. The portions are so large I have a before bed snack. The food reminds me of months in Lebanon…

Excellent food was let down by the service. Waiting staff were cold and inattentive. Having experience with Spanish food and wine, I found the staff uninformed. Many of the wines on their wine list were unavailable. The sommelier was useless. Pity that the overall experience took away from the food enjoyment.

Service was slow and our main meals (2 x targines) were very mid. Not particularly flavourful and lacking in anything beyond the main ingredients (chicken/lamb). Babganosh starter was good tho.

Food was 10/10. Good portion size for the price & tasty. Made my day getting okra & veg with my fish!!

The food is just great! Quantities are super generous. Music is good and the service is excellent (even the chairs are good…)

It would have been a good night had it not been for the unprofessional attitude of the manager, Having looked at the menu on their website, we decided to book for a team dinner as the prices fit within our budget - The weekday menu is advertised as £17.50 for 2 courses and £22.00 for 3 courses. The meal was OK, and the service was great (I do feel bad for the waitress giving a 1 star review) the problems arose when the bill arrived. You get presented with a blank piece of paper apart from the total, no breakdown of meals or prices, and it was far higher than it should have been. In our party of 18, 10 people had 2 courses and 8 had 3 courses and they tried to charge almost £550.00. I questioned this and was told I would need to speak with the manager. When he came out of the kitchen, he didn't walk further than the door so we had to go over to him (this conversation wouldn't have disturbed any other customers as we were the only people there). From the start he was incredibly rude and when we questioned the amount of the bill he insisted it was correct. We tried to explain that the menu on the website very clearly stated different prices and even checked it whilst we were talking just in case anything had changed - it hadn't but he didn't care. He continued to insist the price charged was correct, which was £27.50 per person, we pointed out that was the price advertised on the weekend menu and we were there on a Wednesday. His response to this they were old prices and how we can we expect to only pay £17.50 or £22.00. He couldn't tell me how we were meant to be aware of this without being told. He continued to argue, yell and dismiss all of our questions, until he stomped off into the kitchen yelling over his shoulder for us to get out! We settled the bill, at the advertised price, and ensured that the service charge added did go to the staff, but this encounter did overshadow the evening and is not how I expect any customer to be treated in a restaurant. I would not recomend going to this restaurant based on the way the manager treats people who have the "audacity" to question him, if you do decide to go make you check the prices before ordering anything. The picture below shows the menu the night we were there and I have checked their website again today and the weekday menu is still advertised at the same price.

Yet another phoenix rising from the flames of a previous venture. Doesn't know whether its lebanese turkish, greek middle eastern or none of the above. Given the quality of much of what they served the best answer would be - none of the above. Simply nothing more than a space to escape power cuts, poor weather etc

Its a huge restaurant & only 3 other tables were booked. Zero atmosphere. Our main issue was the service it was so bad. The waiter was so miserable & bad it his job. We had no complaints on the food. Wine is extremely expensive

went in there last night withe my daughter and son in law after it was recommended by someone ld already eaten which turned out to be a blessing they had lamb chops with chips and some chicken wings on the side which were straight out of the microwave which you could hear pinging as there were no other diners in there and for some reason the chips were piping in the middle and cold on the outside my son in law told im presuming he was the owner that it was the worst turkish restaurant hed ever been in. and that how can you be happy serving up that to people no apology and not even a gesture of taking something off the seventy pound bill would give this place the widest of births and now we know why it was empty and not the piss poor excuse given that it was all covids fault. i had covid and it was more of a pleasent experience than this place.

Perfect as usual. Ioanna was super friendly and suggested something to order as starters. I also tried a blind order for the first time (asking her to bring a main of her choice without me knowing) and she brought me the seabass which is one of my favourites which I ordered in my previous visit (5 months ago). to accommodate that we were there for business and we had to go back within 1h, she suggested to bring all food together as they came out from the kitchen. wise choice! Impeccable service. we will (again) come back!

Tuvimos algunos cócteles encantadores aquí, Sandys abrió el día de San Valentín y cerró debido a COVID. Sobrevivió pero se restringió a tener música en vivo. Una visita es imprescindible. Personal amigable.

A Cozy Mediterranean Brunch in Wimbledon Village After a delightful 2-mile walk through Wimbledon Village, we stumbled upon this charming spot for a Mediterranean brunch. The cozy ambiance and the no-fuss menu instantly set the tone for a relaxed meal. We ordered the meat shawarma, soup of the day, and Beirut beer. The soup arrived piping hot, paired perfectly with fresh bread, making it an ideal choice for the chilly weather. It warmed us up nicely and prepared us for the rest of our walk. The meat shawarma was flavorful, generously packed with well-seasoned meat, and accompanied by creamy hummus and a fresh salad – a hearty, satisfying combination. The Beirut beer was smooth and mild, rounding off our brunch with a refreshing finish. All in all, a straightforward yet delicious dining experience that provided the perfect fuel for our journey to the Wimbledon Stadium. If you’re looking for good food without any frills, this place is worth a visit!
