Matteos Cucina Italiana Hackney - (Near Hackney, South East)

Dan Zafrir A lovely hole-in-the-wall serving stellar Greek food! We came on a rainy day just after they opened, so the restaurant was a bit quiet. That couldn’t have prepared us for the dazzling dishes we were about to eat - best souvlaki in London, scrumptious pie, excellent honey-drenched cheese and, of course - THE galaktoboureko, with a crown of shaved halva. Everything was delicious and the service lovely as well - our server was nice and helpful and the chef came over to chat, sharing the story of the restaurant and his vision for it. We had a truly great evening here - it’s gems like these that make London’s food scene really exciting.

james kingman Wow this restaurant was 10/10. I went here on a Friday night with my in-laws, wife and 9 year old son. I couldnt believe how nice the food was. My son loved the pepperoni pizza and Ice cream. The portion sizes were huge. I was dubious after reading the reviews but Im so glad I visited, chef even came out to talk to us, the waitress couldnt do enough for us 11/10 will definitely return. I would definitely book ahead.

Adrian Aston My mum loves this place and always comes here for lunch or dinner. Very nice selection on menu, lots of lighter choices too. Very friendly staff, good service and great food. Id Definitely come back and recommend. Update: My mum and I have been coming here for a number of years now. Everything is still great thankfully. My only slight negative is that the prices have got higher whilst portion sizes get smaller. Still recommend 100%. Check out my photos from my visit in Oct 2022.

Nadya K Amira Had my very first Sunday roast here and it was amazing! Great food, friendly service, and such a cozy place to spend the afternoon. The roast was cooked perfectly with generous portions. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

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.

Kelly Stone We had a table for 12 to celebrate my sisters 60th Birthday. The food was fantastic, the staff are so friendly and welcoming, they make you feel like they know you. We ALL had an amazing time. They let us bring in a birthday cake. They even cut it all and served the cake as desert, therefore lessening the total bill. This was totally unexpected as we would have ordered a dessert. We loved it so much that we booked a table for 12 for Xmas day.
