Burnt Umber Brasserie - (Near Hackney, london)

Konstantinos Baltas Had the best birthday here! The bar had an incredible vibe, great drinks, and the perfect energy for celebrating! Huge shoutout to Andreea, —she was warm, attentive, and truly made the night feel special!! That applies also to her colleague, who was always happy to assist with everything I asked her!! And in general, all the staff were so kind and polite with me and all my guests!! From start (even when I did the booking) to finish, everything was seamless and fun! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate! Can’t wait to come back!!

Ray on the Go Lovely Local Spot with Great Food and Coffee. La Mela Mediterranean Cuisine is a fantastic local cafe and restaurant in Hackney. The team is always welcoming and friendly, and the service is consistently excellent. Their coffee is always on point — smooth, fresh, and the perfect start to the day. I’ve had breakfast here a few times and it’s always been top quality. The menu is quite broad too, offering a variety of options for lunch and more, so there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re popping in for a quick coffee, a relaxed breakfast, or a sit-down meal, La Mela delivers every time. Highly recommend if youre in the area!

Anuoluwapo Kehinde Great restaurant, lovely meal, amazing flavours. You’ll leave with full bellies and happy wallets. The price point is perfect. They are a little stingy with the drinks and also made a mistake with one of the drinks we ordered which they rectified but still charged for. Only downside.

Louise Robson Absolutely delicious as always! Our meal arrived hot. Big portions and fantastic value for money. Thank you!

Jack Routledge Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. I came here on a whim and left blown away. The highlight for me was the tandoori dumplings perfectly spiced, chargrilled to perfection, and honestly some of the best dumplings I’ve ever had, and that’s saying something after travelling around Asia. You rarely ever see tandoori dumplings on a menu, so this was a real treat. What really made the evening special was the hospitality. The owner, his brother, and even the chef took time to personally speak with me. They explained how the food was made, gave thoughtful recommendations, and made me feel genuinely welcome. You can tell they really care about what they do. Another big plus they let you bring your own alcohol, which is such a bonus and made the evening even more enjoyable. And to top it off, they’re open till 1am, which is perfect if you’re out late and want great food without rushing. I’ll definitely be coming back and bringing all my friends with me. This place is a hidden gem in Eltham.

Rob Crouch Amazing service from a culinary legend named NAWFAL!! Such a happy chill guy who made us feel super welcome and gave us service liked it’s 3 star Michelin! The crispiest chips in London!!!
