The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in England

Visited Early September 2024 And as you can probably see I don’t do reviews but on this particular occasion, I was so impressed with the food I promised I would leave a review An absolute must if you want healthy non-junk food in one word phenomenal

Mockingbird Mimosa Lounge visit on 19th October 2024 This review has only just been posted as we have been waiting 3 weeks for our refunds. This is for the deposits paid and not taken off our bill and failure to provide tea or coffee. I have previously visited The Mockingbird and have always enjoyed my visit. We booked a colleagues 'leaving do' and decided on ‘Afternoon High Tea’. Unfortunately, there was nothing ‘High’ about it! I was presented with a wooden board containing a mish mash of food, just piled up. Both meat and veggie sandwiches touching and also cakes all on the same board, buried under each other. Quality was cheap, with weird combo of plastic ham and chicken mayo in the same huge thrown together sandwich. The cakes were cheap and shop bought; certainly nothing fancy or enjoyable. Website says £17.50. We had all previously paid a £5 deposit; so I was expecting to pay £12.50. On paying, an incredibly rude woman (Louise) demanded to know who had paid and who had not. I felt like saying ‘’I don’t work here’’ but took the bill to my friends, who settled it immediately. We had spent in the region of £600+ between us. We even paid for a couple of colleagues ‘High Teas’ who had to cancel short notice due to illness, as it was pre-booked. We were not offered any tea or coffee; I did not realise this was actually supposed to be included. On reviewing my bill, the deposit had not been deducted and the charge was £22.50 per person, making my not so fancy tea £27.50. The website also says £14 for 2 cocktails, we were charged £18 for 2, hardly a ‘Happy Hour’. The ‘Gold Star’ goes to the toilet. Unclean and the towel that was hanging on the back of the door was filthy and wet – this had obviously not been changed for some time. Trying to sort this out has been interesting as Louise, who comes over as aggressive and rude, has yet to offer any apology. She even had the cheek to say "I had to turn people away because of you"! We spent a lot of money and had pre-booked! As we all work in the NHS and work to a high standard, I do not expect to be treated like this and will not be returning - You do not deserve our custom, I only hope that this will give you an opportunity to improve things.

The falafel wraps are always fresh, filled up and portions are generous. Today I tried Syrian milk puddings and they are delicious - silky and not overly sweet. The service is extremely kind and the chef lady took so much care to prepare and pack the meals. I can't wait to go back.

This little tapas bar is what Accrington needs! It serves great quality food, well cooked, very well presented and very affordable. It is warm and welcoming with a lovely cosy dining room with a lit fire. It is extremly clean. The staff are very polite and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this restaurant hence giving it a 5* rating.

Delicious food and a lovely, relaxed atmosphere.

Great atmosphere, delicious food and an original Turkish wine, very attentive staff. Definitely recommended.

Good food..good for indian people..very happy to have service...amazing nd friendly menu for vegetarian also..

Excellent service from the start to finish from Azeem and Farha who were polite, accommodating and enthusiastic. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, quiet as we arrived late. There were numerous vegan options to choose from and the food was quick to be served. All the mezze dishes sampled were excellent, highlights have to be the falafel, batata harra and fattoush salad (which was exceptional, I would return for this dish alone). Some great mocktails on offer too. Don't miss this gem!

Beautiful roasts. Excellent portions. Soooo tasty. It’s a go to every time Delivery even better. Thanks folks Made my evening after a busy day

I looked for this restaurant and could not find it. Looks to have closed so I wonder why it is still on TA? Shame really as it had good reviews

I dined here whilst travelling for business, and as a woman alone, I was made to feel very comfortable. On top of that, the food was wonderful. I had chicken kebabs with rice, salad and chips with a very reasonably priced glass of white wine. I will definitely return!

Fantastic place, great atmosphere and service

Visited this restaurant twice during our recent stay nearby and was impressed both times. Food, service, ambience all first rate. A lovely dining experience.

No reservations, great food especially the crispy cauliflower! Really good service too, quick, polite, polished. Excellent choice for a romantic dinner! Some good vegan and vegetarian options too, plus non alcoholic beer on draft.

Excellent food, environment, and service! Highly recommended for a chill weekend night out😍
