The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in North West

Been for breakfast and lunch. The full engkish was lovely. For lunch i got salt and pepper chicken pasta, omg was amazing. Love the look of it inside aswell- definitely recommend

We visited on a August Bank hol Monday, early evening. That day, they only had an open buffet on. It does have a regular menu but I think it may just be open buffet for the period of Ramadan? I was chatting to the owner and he explained it was quiet during the day until most regulars turn up late. But when the restaurant is running before and after Ramadan, I'm not sure how busy it gets or what the regular menu is like! However, for our £8.99 set price each we had a fantastic meal. A drink is included (soft drink only, not sure if they allow BYO). There was a top lentil soup, then the chef explained the rest. Too much to list, but just classic, homemade middle eastern food. Tzatziki, hummus, salads, beans, and then for main there was an okra stew (fab), a plain but tasty rice, rice with beef and herbs, and chicken with rice. We made lots of visits back up to the buffet for more. One thing we'd have loved was bread, but we couldn't see any. However I think a party of four who came in later asked and got some naan type. For desert there was a typical tasty but calorific baklava type - ace. It's a bit ad hoc in there and it's a real local feel, help yourself, cling film on the plates of food - I can imagine some people more used to being nannied in Nando's would feel uncomfortable. But the place is great and I hope it gets local support (the decor and music are actually very classy by the way, it's not scruffy). Highly recommended, and would be good to know what the lunch time/a la carte experience is like.

What a fantastic little cafe, a welcome addition to the Assembly Rooms Emporium, which occupies a lovely 18th century Grade II listed heritage building. Such a nice menu. All home made food. I had a lovely steaming bowl of Turkish bean soup, a tasty, freshly-made sandwich, and a pot of tea. I could not resist the cabinet full of gorgeous cakes, scones and tray bakes. The Lavender Cake was delicious. Very friendly service. I hope to return. (You can takeaway/ take home, and also pre-order sweet treats for special occasions).

Old school type gym with friendly staff and fellow gym fanatics. Very cheap rates and very reasonable drinks & shakes.

Excellent fresh falafel and shawarma. Better than one in neighbour curry mile. Lovely owner and you can tell he puts heart into his food.

Ate here this evening, looking at the reviews I can safely say I fully agree with all the 5 star ones. Incredible food, amazing family friendly service and all for good value. You’ll read the reviews of people saying it’s a must visit and it really is. Superb.

Best food i have tried UK so far. We ordered Arabic breakfast & smashed avocado… wow on of a kind. The stuff is really friendly.

This restaurant doesn't serve food, they serve smiles. I have never been disappointed and always walk out with a smile. They are friendly and treat you like family. I would recommend this place to anyone any time.

Hi. We visited Veranda as a family of 18 to celebrate a wedding. Mina kindly opened early so we could have the place to ourselves and we chose off a set menu of 6 starters and mains ( we got to chose the 6 dishes). The food was amazing. Everybody in the party aged from 17 to 86 and from Urmston to Valencia absolutely loved the food and Mina and his chef could not have been more helpful. They helped with all the arrangements and decorations and making sure my elderly dad could manage with his limited mobility. They even played our special playlist! Thank you to Mina and all the staff for making our special day even more special.

Mother’s Day Meal…. Nothing beats a family run authentic restaurant. They offered the mother a glass of bubbly complimentary to start with and overall service and setting was amazing. Food was delicious too. First time going and won’t be the last!!

Lovely friendly restaurant, our waiter Rami was great. We’d been to Athens a couple of weeks before and had a good chat, and a free ouzo!

Lovely last minute meal, local friendly and very welcoming. Steak was lovely, chips were not just a steaks mate, they held their own on that plate, tasty! Lovely salad to boot! Normally you have to pay for the small things that make a steak dish. 2 courses £19 what's not to love. We will be back.

Very impressed with the food and the service was spot on. Great atmosphere too. Will definitely be coming back!

5 Stars! We ate here with our children during a short holiday in Silloth and absolutely loved it. The food was full of flavour and clearly made with care, even the sauces are homemade! Everything we ordered was perfectly seasoned and delicioso, and our kids enjoyed it just as much as we did. The restaurant has a stylish, welcoming feel, and it’s such a shame we live so far away, if we were local, we'd be regulars for sure.

Amazing food and service. Had prawns to start and chicken gyros, friendly service and good sized portions that were delicious. Highly recommend.
