La Mela Mediterranean Cuisine in Hackney - (Near Hackney, South East)

Suse Barc I have one word to say...FEGATO! The calves liver was outstanding. So outstanding that I will be going back for more very soon. The rest of the food was freshly cooked and of a good standard, but I would be prepared to take a special trip to Eltham for that dish. Its a starter, so I would order two with a salad and gently work my way through them. I had to complimemt the chef, it was that good. Well seasoned, well presented and well appreciated! The staff ...lovely. Attentive and bright, knowlegable, discreet and genuinely pleasant. We ate at Totti at the end of the lunchtime rush, so it became very quiet, but I can guess that it gets quite busy. The venue is spacious and warm. The staff look very comfortable within the restaurant space, and seem to communicate well with one another. There was a large childrens party in full swing at the time we dined there - we witnessed the children, some of whom were hearing disabled, being royally treated by the staff. Ive already said Ill be going back - its just a question of when. Doubtless it will be soon.

Joel Watkins-knight They proper looked after us and the staff were really friendly too. Fish was made fresh and the portions are HUGE!! Really God prices as well.

Paige F Great experience all round. Went on a weeknight and had the Christmas menu. Shared with someone as the portions were big enough to! The dough balls in blankets were delicious, followed by the prawn Thermidor pizza and then the cracking Christmas brownie - which was indeed cracking. Very nice meal and more reasonably priced as part of the set menu. Also two cocktails for £12 was a win! Staff were very hospitable and friendly.

Dylan Kahn Excellent East Med food. The lamb was perfectly marinated, tender, and juicy. Prices was excellent. Local institution. Avoid the kebab joint on High Street. Spend your money here.

Nikki Santiago Lovely spot - had brunch here and enjoyed the selections they had. Affordable as well which is a great feature. Smoked salmon was fantastic and got the pistachio cookie, highly recommend. Was busy when we got there around the early afternoon but wasn’t too long of a wait. We did have to sit out in the cold for a bit prior to having seats available inside. More available seating opened up around mid afternoon. Would come back again.

charli-ann Dutton Very nice food and good value, I recommend the special grill here is a picture of it
