The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in England

Great food, and very good quality service!

At the moment the best restaurant in Harlow. Lost one star purely because you run out of mashed potatoes at 7pm on Saturday.

Great little place - 5 mins walk from town Center - small menu but everything we had was great!

A very late review but always consistently good food in Arbequina and a firm favourite. Worth going for the tortilla alone!

The variety of dishes was superb and the different flavours made it a great meal

Had a lovely evening meal here the staff were very friendly and welcoming the restaurant was clean and pleasant, plenty of quality food at very good prices will certainly be going back

Lovely spot. Good light. Nice service. Breakfast was only average. Portions small. I had the hash which was loose and wet, lacked texture and maybe content! I don’t recommend the home made cola. Coffee was good.

About a month ago me and my wife Had a lovely meal at memz mezze. All was well, food great until earlier hours of the morning when me and my parter had explosive dirreiha. Never in my life have ide been so ill. I stupidly went back yesterday eaving thinking last time was just one of thoes things but I was wrong. I had been on the establishment for 5 minutes and needed to use the bathroom. I was speechless. The bathroom stank and the toilet was smothered in human waste. Absolutely filthy and after reporting it to a member of staff I was told ,no problem,. They man simply smiled as if it was a joke. I Very soon I left the establishment and never will I go again. Very poor hygiene

The manager was extremely rude and unprofessional. We booked two tables for a total of 10 a week prior and called beforehand requesting for tables next to each other. Although our tables were close, we were refused one large table despite empty tables and chairs and were lied to that a big group is expected. The manager was very unprofessional and discriminatory this evening. There was a lack of enterprising initiative and a willingness to to help and oblige to customer requests. Further we were not served for a long time and our orders not taken until we had to call one of the staff a few times. Whilst I absolutely do not expect a favourable outcome from this review at all, I wish to highlight that this is a restaurant that needs its staff to be trained in professionalism, unconscious bias and discrimination. We have been here many times before and enjoyed the food but I will reconsider visiting again. PS: However I wish to add that despite our bad experience with the manager, we were served well by Sophie once she arrived to take our orders. IN reply to Jane Dowler: Thank you for replying back to my review. I am afraid there seems to be some distortion of facts and I wish to clarify the following. 1. We had to book separate tables a week before as we expected challenges in getting a large table for 5 couples. Paying a deposit was not the issue, as suggested in your reply! 2. We did request for closer tables the day before and were indeed allocated this. Again, I personally made a request for this, rather than one large table as we anticipated that this may not be available. However, we noted that some of the large tables were not occupied during the entire duration of our dinner, but were advised by Irene that a big group'was expected. 3. We had to wait for quite a while before our orders were taken, but once we had ordered, the drinks and food were indeed served promptly. 4. I am not sure of the 'noise'' you mentioned, and we were not asked to keep the noise level down as we were not noisy. 5. Also, I am sorry to say that no derogatory remarks were made by our friends. I guess we can agree to disagree, and the tone and body language and communication from Irene with my friends were clearly not in the true spirit of professionalism.

Gorgeous food (and plenty of it) at a very reasonable price. Unfortunately we were too busy eating to remember to take a picture ahead of time, so all that was left was a halloumi fritter and half a glass of sangria. Really quick service and a fantastic range of choices!

Very nice Turkish restaurant; excellent choice of hot and cold options with items for all diet and cuisine types: meat eaters, fish fanciers and vegetarians. Service was excellent, waiter was attentive, for came quickly and was piping hot, and tasted excellent - portion size was great and fresh accompaniments of salads, peppers, rice, bulgar and hot flatbread. A little expensive but for the whole experience it was worth it.

Visited at the weekend with friends. Fantastic service and food was delicious. The staff were so lovely & accommodating. Luke was our server and he was very professional and friendly. Great atmosphere.

Gran escenario aquí. Me alegra haberlo encontrado. Es una delicia gastronómica y visual. Los 22 asientos del restaurante están en un mostrador, con toda la comida cocinada frente a usted. El menú es al principio un poco abrumador, ya que no estamos acostumbrados a la comida norteafricana, pero está bien explicado e incluso se le dan sugerencias sobre cuánto pedir. La comida está destinada a ser compartida. Y es precioso de principio a fin. Disfrutamos cada bocado. Y todo con sabores impresionantes. Sería difícil ir aquí con más de 2 personas mientras se sientan uno al lado del otro, por lo que no deja mucho espacio para charlar en grupos. Me pareció un gran lugar para cenar solo, ya que no estás atrapado en una mesa solo. Hace calor ya que todas las parrillas / freidoras / hornos están en frente de usted. Gran música de fondo también.

Always busy but always go out of their way to fit you in. Food is delicious. Service attentive and friendly. Always with a smile. Highly recommend it..

My girlfriend and I really liked the place. We had a falafel container and it was soo good. Wonderful experience. The staff was also great. I forgot to ask the name of the lady (staff member) but she was too sweet and kind. I really loved the place.
