The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in South East

Maybe I caught them on a bad night, but this place has really taken a step down since I visited it last. Very rushed service - they couldn't put the food out any quicker ( all so they could get the table back quicker). For those who think that's a good thing imagine taking two bites of a starter and then your main get put in front of you and then another plate after that. Food is nothing spectacular to be honest considering the cost - the place isn't bad but it used to be spectacular and now it's quite mediocre yet relatively expensive. A few years ago I could have confidently recommended this place as one of the best restaurants in Dundee but I honestly wouldn't be able to make that claim.

Unassuming on the outside, wonderful on the inside. This tiny place is a goldmine of scrumptious home cooked food & top quality groceries! Family owned & run by passionate humans, their Middle Eastern roots bring amazing flavours to all their home cooked dishes, eat in or take away. Also a great selection of organic & natural wines, and cake, omg the cake!!! Best deli cafe in Brighton, hands down.

We had a good time and enjoyed the food, service was excellent. We were disappointed in the reduced menu, no longer any gigantes beans, baked aubergine, rice or fava bean dip. This will reduce our frequency of visits.

A mio parere è un ristorante caratteristico se si vuole assaggiare qualcosa di turco particolare che non sia solo il kebab. La definirei nel complesso un'esperienza positiva e mi sento di consigliarlo a chi si trova in zona ed abbia voglia di una serata all'insegna di sapori medio-orientali. Anche il prezzo è stato soddisfacente in quanto abbiamo speso in media meno di 35 euro a testa.

Had early dinner here on Bank Holiday Monday April 2025. Menu was good and all the good was very nice, really liked the Lamb Chops and the various Croquettes. Service was good and a very friendly place

One server for whole restaurant meant there was long gaps between service (early evening on a Sunday and not overly busy). Pollo Milanese was overcooked, crispy and lacking sauce. Kitchen should not have served this as it was if they had high standards. Antipasta dishes were fine. Roast pork for other family members was much better. An extra roast potato (only two given) would have been ideal. No checking for allergies. Didn't stay for deserts due to slow service restricting our available time.

Lovely meal here, best lamb I've had for a long time, staff attentive. Would go back.

Another amazing dinner at Roka. As always, up to its usual high standard. Highly recommended for Turkish/Mediterranean cuisine, friendly staff and great service.

Very bad services don’t recommended at all we waited for cup of water for 1 hour and the server probably forgot us

Once again another fabulous meal in The Yorkshire Rose, in my opinion the best restaurant in Bracknell and certainly our favourite. The service as always was excellent and the food was very well prepared and the taste as ever was fantastic, see you again soon.

This restaurant serves pretty good food but the customer service is appalling. After a mix up with our food the waitress was beyond rude. Will not be darkening their door again and will be advising friends to steer clear also. There are plenty of other places to eat in the area

Servicio absolutamente impactante. Compré un plato mixto que se enfrió no solo esto sino que la carne estaba cruda. El pollo seguía siendo rosa y sanguinolento absolutamente vil. El camarero vino y recogió la comida acordó que la comida estaba cruda y se la llevó a los chefs que se pararon y se rieron de la comida que cocinaron. No recomendaría a nadie ahorrar su dinero e ir a otro lugar en el puerto deportivo.

A dull Easter Monday, but sitting next to the window the light reflecting off the paving outside brightened our day. Together with some scrumptious offerings including an Easter fudge brownie and a pineapple and mint smoothie. Always something here to tempt a cafe cynic like myself! And pleasant chats with customers and staff - it's the place to go in Kemptown! It may be a bottleneck of an entrance, but there is a fair amount of space inside - which was necessary to use today because of the rain. And the scaffolding being in the way of erecting the parasols. And relax... the food makes you forget all little problems, the herbal flavours and great combinations. Could stay there for afternoon tea as well if I hadn't eaten that delicious crepe already!

I have been a customer for a few years now and have always found the service to be excellent. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the quality of food is very good and great value for money. Their coffee is my favourite in Wantage and thoroughly enjoy their complimentary biscuit. I consider the team more as friends these days, making the shop my favourite hang out spot in Wantage. I encourage you to give them a try as you will not be disappointed.

We went for early dinner on a Saturday night, spur of the moment. It's a very big restaurant so it didn't feel particularly warm on arrival, we needed to keep our coats on for a little while. However the interior of the restaurant is pleasantly designed, but the lighting lets its down, in that it is far too bright for the evening ambience. The food was very nice though, couldn't fault it at all. To start we had vegetable samosas and hummus with Turkish bread, absolutely divine! For mains my partner had the mixed shish which he enjoyed and I had the Dem Shish creamy chicken which was out of this world, really delicious. We ended our meal with the baklava and Irish coffee. We would definitely go back for the food alone, but the ambience spoils a romantic night out.
