Mediterranean cuisine options in London

“Really friendly, welcoming place. Fabulous deli with a great selection of Portuguese food and wines. The home-made Portuguese sausages are fantastic. A true gem in Purley.”

“Delicious food! We are still talking about this restaurant weeks after the experience! Fabulous service. Worth the two hour drive just to get there (lucky folks live nearby!). Will go again and highly rated/recommend.”

“Great atmosphere, great decor. Staff so friendly and the food was amazing. I had the lamb shawarma and homemade lemonade both of which were so good!”

“Short, fresh, Mediterranean menu. Came here for Women's Day lunch and loved it. I recommend their fantastic aubergine starter and a vegetarian kofte, with Turkish coffee to finish off. Beautiful interior with lots of plants and attentive staff. It's a dog friendly place! Tip: salad portions are quite large!”

“I often go for the halloumi wrap, lamb shish or mixed grill and I am never disappointed. Food always fresh and tasty, very satisfying too. Friendly, approachable staff and great atmosphere. So proud it's my local. I've been introducing family and friends. Always.”

“Such a lovely restaurant for my Mums birthday. Vani was an amazing waitress and everyone was really friendly. The food was so yummy and a great variety on the menu.”

“Brilliant service. Great atmosphere and the food was as good as I had in Malaga. Derek”

“Soooo delicious!! We shared five different starters and tried five different pastas and dessert.. literally each plate was amazing! Buonissimoo”

“Ordered the scallop and octopus as starters & the mixed grill and mixed fish grill as main. Everything were fabulous and extremely delicious! And the service is very good! Will definitely go there again and try other dishes!”

“The food here is absolutely amazing! A great fusion of Turkish and Asian spices - lamb ribs, chops, and lamb cubes in particular were delicious. Very good customer service as well. A great local restaurant - would highly recommend!”

“The food is to die for, absolutely gorgeous. All the different meats are cooked to perfection and the staff are so attentive, thank you Amy for looking after us. Xx”

“Friendly cafe that serves hot or cold food. Great for a light lunch with a Portuguese theme.”

“Best starter platter ever! Creamed mushroom, cheese fingers.My friend loved his halloumi vegetarian main course and my lamb skewer was melt-in- the-mouth tender, cooked to perfection. Baklava as afters- wonderful.”

“Great value for money Thai takeaway in Soho serving rice and noodle dishes. Portions are huge and service is always quick and friendly. It gets particularly busy at lunchtime, with a queue out the door, and the takeaway has sometimes run out of favourites such as Thai red curry if you turn up after about 1.30pm.”

“A fantastic little restaurant almost hidden in the village. The outside is quite nondescript but once in you are welcomed warmly by all the staff. Some amazing dishes on the menu including their bruschetta rustica and the sea bass. Staff were quick, friendly and attentive.”

“Fantastic service, communication, amazing food as well. This is not something you would find at any Italian restaurant, the selection is different and refreshing for an Italian like me. We loved everything. Cinzia, the manager was super friendly and accommodating as well as the rest of the staff. We will back for more occasions.”

“Just finished a take away pizza delivery of 4 pizzas and breads what can I say apart from amazing so tasty the pizza sauce to die for highly recommended see you again soon ches’s and thank you”

“If you want to try traditional Italian food made by Italians, this is your place. Incredible staff and service. Great dishes at a good price with ingredients exported from Italy itself. About the restaurant it is very familiar, cozy and elegant. They also accompany dinner with elegant Italian music. Strongly recommended!!”

“Unassuming spot we passed by and so grateful we did; delectable, flavourful, and the best tagine outside of Morocco. The chef was amazing, taking orders and cooking and serving all with a smile on his face, a one man culinary machine.”

“Amazing kebabs, done German style like German Doner Kebab but even better. Great value, often have offers on if you phone/pop in or order from their own app. Good variety on menu with lovely side options. Run by really friendly people with great banter :) deffo worth a try”

“I looked around to find some doner and this popped up. It was great. Good meal deal with a sandwich, chips and a drink. The only problem I had was that my stomach isn't big enough. It's a lot of food and is perfect! Go here!”

“Exceptional food and customer service, the best Lebanese food I've had on Edgeware Road, and I've tried almost all of them. Give them a try, it was incredible”

“Got a catering service for a party of 25 people from Al Baladi. The food was excellent, got a mix of pastries, falafel, salads, hummus, mujaddara, mutabal, kibeh and several other items. Portions were very generous, and delivery was on time. Would definitely recommend and order again.”

“I absolutely adore Basil, they make some of the best Syrian food around and always provide amazing, fast, fresh delivery. The food is top notch and priced so the whole family can enjoy their tremendous cooking! If you're still thinking of ordering, just do it now!!! They're the best.”

“In one word, Exceptional. Started off with lebanese coffee. Our order hammus / hummus beiruty, muhammara, kebab halabi, and sujuk shawarma. Each and everything was as authentic as it gets. Very creamy hammus with the tanginess of the Beirut version. Muhammara is to die for. I have been having lebanese food for more than 3 decades and this is my first time having sujuk shawarma and it was so so flavorful and good. Kebab halabi was also nicely done with a good portion of rice, pickled cabbage and onion with sumac. Ended with a variety of baclava on the house. Each one was good, not to sweet. Very good experience. We were served by Mr. Ali, very pleasant and friendly customer service. May Allah give them the success they truly deserve. Oh yeah everything is halal as confirmed by the staff on enquiry. A memorable meal to end our short trip to London.”

“One of my favorite restaurants in london for sure. Great Mediterranean recipes with a kick. I highly recommend the lamb chops, the flavor is incredible and the cabbage on the side it’s heavenly. Very nice reserved vibe, perfect for a date! 40-50£ pp”

“We visited London for the weekend with our children out apartment was just across the road so we popped in for a drink and sat outside with the children, the staff couldn’t have done anymore for us so friendly and offered the children a bowl of rice and drinks, we loved it so much we went in for food the following night and wow! The best food I’ve ever tasted with yet again the friendliest staff I felt so at home and can’t wait to come and visit again, highly recommend!”

“Music not loud.very clean.generous. Very friendly. Generous good food.clean toilets. Family friendly. A new experience in nw11. Come and meet the team”

“One of the most extraordinary restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. Amazing ambience with lovely decor and very comfortable seating. Attentive and warm service from wonderfully skilled and knowledgeable staff who are (rightly) modestly confident in the quality of their restaurant. And then the food. Couldn’t believe that every single thing we ate was of such outstanding quality. So fresh, flavourful, unique, and memorable. Nothing is worth missing. Would go back for the dips and desserts alone, but every dish was a total hit and beyond 5 stars. Undoubtedly the place we’ll come for every special occasion from now on.”

“The food was amazing! Freshly cooked and excellent service. The portion sizes were huge and we were so stuffed but it balanced well so we were able to handle it. For starters I had the calamari and soup and mains seabass which was just sublime.”
