91 Bites
87 KINGSLAND HIGH STREET SHOP · E8 2PB
91 Bites is a casual Mexican spot on Kingsland High Street serving tacos, quesadillas and fresh guacamole, with margaritas and micheladas alongside. It is set up for an easy meal rather than a formal sit-down occasion: order a few different fillings for the table and add drinks if you are staying.
Afrofeast
9 MARE STREET · E8 4RP
Afrofeast is a Nigerian restaurant on Mare Street with a broad menu built for a proper meal rather than a quick snack. Efo riro, egusi and okra soups sit alongside suya, pepper soup, grilled fish, rice dishes, beans and yam porridge, with vegetarian choices available.
Larzijan Uygur Vegan Cuisine
79B KINGSLAND HIGH STREET · E8 2PB
Alfonso's is a Colombian street-food counter below Kingsland High Street. Arepa bowls, beef and chicken empanadas and grilled meats are the heart of the menu, with smash burgers and loaded sides for a more fast-food order; portions are generous and the basement has a few seats.
Ali Baba Kebab
144 KINGSLAND HIGH STREET · E8 2NS
Ali Baba is a late-opening Dalston kebab house serving Turkish and Middle Eastern fast food. Lamb and chicken doner, shish, kofte and falafel come as wraps, plates or meat-and-chips boxes, with enough vegetarian choices to make it more than a post-pub stop.
Authentic Lebanese Street Food
147 HACKNEY ROAD · E2 8JL
Authentic Lebanese Street Food is a small takeaway on Hackney Road built around freshly made falafel and shawarma wraps. Hummus and tabbouleh cover the familiar sides. It is best approached as a quick, good-value lunch or takeaway rather than a long restaurant meal, with the falafel a particularly clear place to start.
Red Hand
44 STOKE NEWINGTON ROAD · N16 7XJ
Baba Tang's Dalston branch is a Chinese takeaway with a much broader menu than the label suggests. Cantonese dim sum and roast meats sit beside dan dan noodles, Sichuan chilli chicken, soup dumplings, ho fun and rice dishes; its meal deals work particularly well for a quick solo order.
Bay's Fish Bar
240 HAGERSTON ROAD · E8 4HT
Bay's Fish Bar is a Haggerston chippy serving cod, haddock, skate, scampi and fishcake with chips. The wider takeaway menu includes battered sausage, fried chicken, wings and chicken burgers, so it also works for mixed orders where not everyone wants fish.
Bean's Cafe
Hackney · E5 8FB
Bean's Cafe is a fully vegan cafe by Hackney Downs. The changing daytime menu covers toasted sandwiches, brunch plates, pastries and coffee; mushroom-and-leek toasties, scrambled tofu and house-made Marmite are among the things regulars mention. There is outdoor seating and dogs are welcome.
Best Istanbul
65 AMHURST ROAD · E8 1LL
Best Istanbul is a Turkish and Middle Eastern takeaway on Amhurst Road serving kebabs, grilled chicken and fast-food sides. The current delivery listing places it alongside the late-night food options around Hackney Central. Go for a kebab or chicken meal when speed and a substantial portion matter more than a sit-down restaurant setting.
Best Kebab
166 VICTORIA PARK ROAD · E9 7HD
Best Kebab on Victoria Park Road is a long-running Turkish takeaway known for house-made lamb and chicken doner. The menu also covers chicken shish, lamb shish, kofte, mixed kebabs, meat-and-chips boxes, burgers and falafel wraps for a meat-free order.
Best Mangal
13 CHATSWORTH ROAD · E5 0LH
Best Mangal on Chatsworth Road is a late-opening Turkish grill and takeaway. Lamb and chicken doner, shish and kofte come in wraps or full meals with rice, salad and bread, making it a practical local option for both a quick kebab and a larger mixed-grill order.
La Duchesse
10 STOKE NEWINGTON CHURCH STREET · N16 0LU
Boulangerie La Duchesse is a Church Street bakery-cafe covering both a quick coffee and a proper light lunch. Cakes and fruit tarts fill the sweet counter, while panini, wraps, sandwiches, daily quiche and salads sit alongside juices, smoothies and a breakfast-and-brunch menu.
Bric Gallery Cafe
103 Shacklewell Lane London · E8 2EB
Bric Gallery Cafe combines a working gallery with a daytime cafe on Shacklewell Lane. It opens for breakfast and lunch hours from Tuesday to Saturday, so treat it as a daytime stop rather than an evening restaurant. The art programme is part of the visit; check its Instagram or website for the current exhibition and menu.
Curry Pot
247 WICK ROAD · E9 5DG
Curry Pot on Wick Road is an Indian takeaway with a full traditional menu rather than a short delivery-kitchen list. Tandoori chicken, lamb chops and seekh kebab lead into biryanis, balti dishes, house curries, fish dishes, vegetable sides, rice and breads.
BúnBúnBún
388 RAILWAY ARCHES MENTMORE TERRACE · E8 3PH
BunBunBun is a family-run Vietnamese restaurant beneath the railway arches at Mentmore Terrace. Pho, bún bò Huế and bánh mì are the menu anchors, with well-priced lunch combinations making it especially useful during the day rather than only as an evening destination.
Bungalows Cafe
80 MARE STREET · E8 3SG
Bungalows is a fuss-free Mare Street cafe with the range people expect from a proper London caff. Set and vegetarian breakfasts lead into omelettes, burgers, panini, jacket potatoes and homemade chilli or curry, with early opening for breakfast before work.
Burkes Warehouse
37 KINGSLAND HIGH STREET · E8 2JS
Burke's Warehouse is a modern Irish pub beside Dalston Kingsland station. Guinness, live sport and regular live music are the main draw, with bar snacks and meals available and a covered outdoor area that makes it usable beyond good-weather afternoons.
BếP House
Hackney · 8AG, UK
BếP House is the Kingsland Road Vietnamese restaurant formerly called ANT House. Its home-style menu runs from pho and bún chả to bánh xèo and bánh mì made with freshly baked bread, with Vietnamese iced coffee and fruit-led drinks alongside.
Café Hebe
258 Kingsland Road · E8 4DG
Café Hebe is the resident ground-floor café and bar at Playhouse East, serving coffee, cakes, sandwiches and drinks alongside the theatre's programme.
Camia
53 STOKE NEWINGTON CHURCH STREET · N16 0AR
Camia is a small Stoke Newington Church Street deli and cafe for coffee, pastries and sandwiches. It serves breakfast and brunch, has vegetarian-friendly choices and seating inside, making it more useful for a quick daytime stop than a full restaurant meal.
Caribbean Kitchen
67 MARE STREET · E8 4RG
Caribbean Kitchen is a family-run Mare Street restaurant serving the food people usually hope to find behind the name: jerk chicken and pork, curry chicken, rice and peas, plantain, patties and mac and cheese. Its vegan chickpea, coconut and spinach curry is a full dish rather than an afterthought, and the team also runs cooking lessons and catering.
Carolina
173 MARE STREET · E8 3RH
Carolina is a late-opening Mare Street pizza takeaway with a much wider menu than the name suggests. Alongside pizzas in several sizes are chicken and beef burgers, kebabs, fish and chips, pasta, salads, ice cream and desserts, making it practical for large mixed takeaway orders.
