Top 30 Best Mediterranean specialties in London

“A real masterclass in flavor and of course, passion. The work of Ilias and his team speaks above all to the heart, in perfect communion to his origins, offering real traditions of Greek comfort food on a modern, inventive, fresh and flavoursome way. A Great addition to Broadway Market and let's hope that soon, he takes the city in a storm. Oh, if you don't believe it, order the Feta and Gruyère croquettes and find out for yourself.”

“I get my Kebabs from here most Friday nights. They are truly authentic Cypriot Souvlaki kebabs and pretty much the best you'll find for miles. They are cooked on charcoal which is the how it should be. The portions are good at a fair price, so good value for money. Lots of other things on the menu too. Service is great”

“Have to review as my experience was so great. The gyro I had was really delicious, large portion and good value for money. Friendly staff and my takeaway order was ready really quickly. Will for sure be back!”

“I visited Ousia Muswell Hill on Saturday 11th Feb, and my experience was faultless. Firstly, the service was really friendly, welcoming and professional. I ordered kleftiko, taramasalata, pitta, courgette frittas and the Greek salad. The food was really fresh and tasty, the authentic Greek flavours were really strong and enticing. Overall, I had a really pleasant experience and I’m definitely looking forward to dining here again!”

“What an amazing place to feel like home. Authentic Greek food, excellent service, mama’s like taste and a small part of Greece living in the heart of London. I have no idea what the HR is doing on these places, but it seems to be working like a well oiled machine. Outstanding service, GReat taste and friendly staff. Trust your Greek!!”

“I ordered a vegan make your own pizza via deliveroo, delivery was quick, pizza was really nice, the vegan cheese was super good I even had to call and double check it was definitely vegan just to make sure because of allergies they couldn't tell me which brand it was but assured me it was dairy free. Really impressed I will definitely order again.”

“Visited today for the first time. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I'm disabled, mobility issues, but was able to explore with my 4 wheel rolator. There was lots of choice, for a small shop, and nicely priced too. Will shop there again.”

“Excellent customer service! They are all very chatty (we Greeks are like that) and very eager to help. I haven't been there once and left wanting. My favourites are the hard yellow cheese from Mytilini (my favourite), the mini pies in the freezer section (actually make it the whole of freezer section) and the juices.”

“Excellent food, clean and hygienic, reliable team, polite & professional staff. Well done indeed.”

“This is hands down the best Kurdish / Kebab place on Green Lanes. Don’t be fooled by the glitzy mega kebab restaurants down the Main Street. This is the only place worth visiting on Green Lanes. They make their own tandoori bread, and once seated you are greeted with pickles and lovely warm soup. The kebabs are expertly seasoned and served without fuss - but with tons of intense charcoal grilled flavour.”

“Great restaurant, great food, I had the salad and classic burger. They had a great birthday vide due to two separate tables having separate birthdays. Recommend this place to this place Took a picture of the salad but forgot to take a picture of the burger.”

“We loved the food from Kokobella. Really flavoursome, fresh and filling. The jerk wings were really authentic - you could taste the subtle heat of the scotch bonnet. Kokobella was extremely friendly and checked in with me the night before to see if I would like to make and changes to my meal. Thanks so much Kokobella! We’ll be back soon!”

“Just had my birthday dinner here and it was amazing. I think it's the tastiest Indian food I've ever had. So delicious and fresh and none of that excess oil that you get sometimes. Peshwari naan was light, fluffy and very full of coconut and everyone's dish tasted superb. The staff were super helpful and kind and even had a cake for me. I was so impressed and delighted... thank you to all at the Yasmin, I will be recommending to everyone and coming back. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.”

“Uanama bellll!! Top, Top, Top!! Cafe' Amisha is the best Italian Restaurant in South-East London. All ingredients come directly from Italy, and all the chefs are Italian. All the waiters and Paola are incredibly kind and attentive. The main Chef, Leo, aka "The Maestro", is impressive. He cooks traditional recipes from Apulia and nationwide Italian food. Fregola, Pizza (ask for tuna and cipolla!) and fish are top at Amisha's cafe. At Easter time, ask for a Pastiera, a traditional Southern Italy Easter cake made. Maestro's pastiera is as good as my mum's. They also have a shop for Italian food which has really good stuff and Italian delicatessens. The owner, Francesco, is amazing. He is the most friendly and the nicest person ever. He is a natural people person, always smiling and happy. He also saved my life during the first lockdown and the food shortage. I bougth everything I needed there. He and his staff also delivered food to my place at any hour, including regular fresh fish deliveries.. He is also actively volunteering to help the NHS and the local community. A living hero, in a few words. He truly deserves a half-body statue at the nearby SPA garden.”

“Wonderful cafe. Food was delicious, the coffee was great and the staff more than delightful. Absolute must if you're near!”

“Everything we had was absolutely delicious and atmosphere was so warm and welcoming. I am a cookery teacher and my friend is a true foodie and we both agreed that the quality of food was amazing. It brought us to an evening in Paris. The only negative is this place is a bit too far from me... Otherwise I would visit every week! Highly recommend.”

“I don’t even know where to start, I order from here regularly via Uber eats, it’s up there with one of my favourite places to order from in Woking. I’d never had Greek food before Delightfully Greek came to town and I was seriously missing out. The food is always amazing, weather you have the gyro, box or the pastries. Such big portions and really good prices. It’s a shame this place isn’t always busy when I walk past because it deserves to be. I also think a lot of people aren’t aware it’s there so that doesn’t help either. Things you NEED to try- tzatziki, tyrokafteri and the spinach and feta pastry. Also received a freebie today so thank you very much for that; thank you for always accommodating when I ask for a mix of both above sauces too! Really hope you guys stay around for years and years to help get me my Greek fix! ”

“Yummy place for breakfast especially the lovely garden at the back! Recommend the eggs royal!”

“Honestly, this cafe has been my favorite for years(Before it was called tartine). The prices are very reasonable, great value for money I recommend the sandwiches. The service is always high quality and they have contact plugs so you can work/study whilst sipping a coffee or fresh squeezed smoothie.”

“I have been to multiple middle eastern grocery shops, but Jaffa is no doubt the best. Meat is always fresh, people there are friendly and helpful. And there are always new imported goods and their prices are always fair”

“Great food and service. We tried lamb tashreeb and Iraqi special kebab. Both tasted good and flavourful. They also give a lentil soup as a complementary which itself is delicious. Liked their ayran also, which was made in-house.”

“That was an Iranian food experience that takes you to another level The restaurant stays open until 23:00 and there are a lot of free parking places to park your car Very quick and friendly service from the staff members I loved it Many thanks, guys !!!”

“From the moment we stepped in until the moment we left, the whole experience was excellent. Amazing service and staff who focused in on what we wanted. Extra unasked for servings of food went a long way to show how much the staff care. Highly recommended.”

“Amazing atmosphere works beautiful deformation around and great customer service. I felt incredible being there and the vegan cake was glam. I enjoyed my vegan hot chocolate with coconut milk. I would give 10/10 exclusively to everyone in the cafe. I'm glad the coffee shop remained opened the late evening and next time I'm planning on trying am meal from the menu. Vegan and organic. If you're dining after 6 pm you'll be lucky enough to get some discounts. Beautiful location very close to Parsons Green tube (district line) and other bus stops. The restaurant is located in zone 2.”

“The food was delicious and plentiful. I had the Jerusalem steak meal which was tender and well-spiced with deeply cramelised onions. The namesake pita was hot, crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy in the middle, the salad was delicious. My only complaint is the drives could have been more seasoned. Excellent service despite it being extremely busy.”

“Great prices, fresh, delicious food. Had one of the most meticulously composed falafel wraps ever, so yummy and only £5! Definitely worth repeating. Thanks!”

“Had a bit of a rubbish date this evening, it ended long before I'd planned so I had a lot of time on my hands and nowhere to put it! To cheer myself up I thought I'd take myself for dinner and really just walked in here at random. Staff were absolutely lovely, and attentive, the food was totally incredible, and even the house wine just hit the spot perfectly! Definitely recommend, ended up pulling victory from the Jaws of defeat!”

“Best gyro in town! Period. It’s the most authentic Greek place I’ve found in London so far. The food is fresh, of high quality, and plus, the team is the loveliest and kindest! Thanks a lot!”

“Great place for sure. Food is really good and delicious ( the meat was cooked to perfection, desert is just amazing). Very friendly staff and reasonable prices. Was pleased with house wine too - really good. Will definitely come back. Thank you!”
