LMNT reviews
This place is amazing. I live locally and went last night after reading the five great reviews below. The layout of the place is fantastic, with electric little booths and a rich, fun interior. The food, from a small fresh menu, was interesting and tasted excellent, and yet was as cheap as you could ever hope to pay for somewhere nice in London. Coupled with friendly staff and a really, really nice ambience (including live opera singers on Sunday nights!) this is my new favourite restaurant in London by far.
by CD (2 reviews), 28 May 2007Fairly limited menu, but what they do, they do well. Friendly service and definitely an interior with a difference!
by TD (5 reviews), 26 Apr 2006Yes, it's true, Dalston really does have a nice restaurant! Don't make a special trip up here from central London, but if you live nearby then you have to go.
The decor is wonderfully over the top Egyptian styling, with huge sphinxes set over the fireplace, and some of the tables set up in little boxes that you get to via a ladder. I think there's even a table set inside a huge urn! Food is not Egyptian, but Italian/ English (they do a roast dinner here on Sundays), and quite nice considering the location ;-)
You have to visit the 'facilities' whilst you're here - the murals on the toilet walls are a bit of a surprise. Mythical figures with huge penises and Grecian ladies being buggered - weird but fun.
Have we missed a great gastro pub in London? Let us know.
