Ilyas Kirkan This restaurant is just great. I have been so many times both on my own and with various friends. And I am actually missing it right now as it’s yummy delish! Make sure you go with a bunch of friends as it’s all about sharing the various cold and hot starter meze platters as well as the main dishes. This way you can try the different tastes and flavours from all over Middle East to explore and make up your own combo. My pics are from two different occasions and show my favourite combinations. My all favourite and the staff knows is their signature dish: chicken in yogurt, pumpkin in yogurt, mixed pickles and rice. Although right now I wouldn’t say no to their tender lamb tagine with rice, pickles and tabbouleh salad. It’s not all about meat as half of their menu is actually vegetarian and vegan dishes. If you like cocktails then I suggest their spicy margarita or the zer signature cocktail. And I can assure you that one leads to another … Enjoy your journey in this cosy little spot in London Dalston - Stoky where it’s all freshly made everyday. When a dish is finished then it’s finished for the day.

Dulcie Peters One of the few restaurants where you can have a great time.

Janice Come here if you want authentic, delicious Taiwanese food for a great price. All the dishes we had were amazing and just like they’d taste in Taiwan! The waitress was very helpful and don’t be afraid to ask for their recommendations! Atmosphere is nice, great place to come with friends or on your own and chill.

Alex Lambert Both staff and food are gorgeous here. The food is sublime, children and adults both agreed, generous portions. Nothing is too much to ask and they made our daughter’s birthday really special. And don’t forget to order the Turkish Beyta Sarma, utterly delicious! We’ll be back soon..

Vinicius Santos A Well-Executed Pre-Theatre Experience at Cora Pearl The décor is relaxed and intimate, complemented by soft background music that creates a warm, understated atmosphere. Expectations were high, especially as Cora Pearl has been ranked by the Michelin Guide as the best pre-theatre dining spot in London. We visited as a family of four and arrived about ten minutes before our pre-theatre reservation; our table was already ready, which was a great start. My parents both chose the three-course pre-theatre menu: potatoes with cod roe to start, pork steak for the main, and the After Eight crémeux for dessert. I had the butternut squash with coconut cream as a starter—the cream was thicker than I expected, but still very rich and delicious—followed by the wild sea bass with Jerusalem artichoke velouté, salsify, and bergamot. Overall, the food was excellent: well executed, well balanced, and thoughtfully put together. We shared a bottle of Riesling and I ordered the Cheeky Peach cocktail, as the restaurant is known for its cocktails. Both were enjoyable, though not particularly memorable. The Parmesan fries, however, were outstanding and easily a highlight of the meal. The staff were attentive and friendly throughout, although service did slow down a little during busier moments. That said, it didn’t detract significantly from an otherwise very enjoyable pre-theatre experience.

Ben Denial Always fantastic food. Whenever youre on a night out or if you want something hearty, its always good honest food.
