The staff were so accommodating despite me confusing bookings and the food is absolutely superb. A modern, relaxed atmosphere and the understanding that it's best to keep things simple makes this one of the best restaurants around.
Wonderful dishes and nice staff. A mix of Mediterranean food with the tappas idea is great, so you can try a bit of everything what they offer. I recommend Morito!
Morito Hackney Road is the third restaurant from Sam & Samantha Clark of Moro and Morito on Exmouth Market fame. Unlike the Exmouth Market location, the space is here is open and relatively large, with high concrete ceilings, concrete floors, and bright lights.
We only popped in for a little late afternoon snack but were mightily impressed. Nice airy space and already quite busy at 18:00.
The two of us shared the fried aubergine with date molasses and feta. A generous mound of aubergine fries for $7 were beautifully balanced in both flavor and texture. Aubergine cut like chips had been dredged in cornmeal and then deep fried. They were bone dry and light, not at all greasy. Drizzled with sweet date molasses, sitting in a pool of salty pureed feta and sprinkled with chopped mint.
We immediately made a dinner reservation for later on in the month.
Food was great, service was quick. Only downside we would say is the atmosphere is very noisy and a lot of people standing around, almost felt as though there was too much staff? But overall experience and food was good 👏🏻 Especially the pork belly and dessert.
Incredibly delicious food, perfect for sharing. We had all the veggie options plus a fish and pork dish, everything was superb. Service was also fantastic, everyone was so friendly. I'd love to come back again soon
Great place. Great chef. If you want to eat good and tasty food, this is the place to go. Server's are fast, attentive, and knowledgeable. Food is fresh and rich. Portions are just right. Standart never goes down. Highly recommended.
As everyone else says, the aubergine and labneh are a must. Adding apricots was truly genius. I loved the sea bass (I think) ceviche too. The sardines were fine but if you are trying to branch out and be adventurous by getting bone in fish and you are concerned you might not like it, maybe don’t. It was good and I ate it but I would have enjoyed something else more. Obviously that is to do with me, so does not affect my rating but they are whole fish and I am a food panty 😂. The food was fast and service was good with friendly staff, especially Omar who was on the bar which is a good place to sit if there are two of you. Good vibes and I would return/recommend it to friends.
I consider Morito a Hackney institution of some sort. The food is always 5 star and I love the vibe 100%. Usually you may need about 2 tapas per person, the wine selection is really good too. It is a quite popular spot so for bigger reservations I suggest using their website / checking options in advance.
My favourite one is the lamb chops but have tried also a quite variety of fish dishes here that are divine.
Beyond our expectations and delicious. Love the bread!!! It was very delicious. Highly recommend the fried aubergines with goat cheese. The check peas one was good too. We were 4 people shared and no drinks, £19/pp. quite a fair price. Would like to try its brunch menu next time!
Really good food. The egg plants were great. Sardines are amazing . Everything was good. Pedron peppers were spicy .. unexpectedly.
The services are wonderful.
Some food are a bit too salty, but overall acceptable. The seats are quite close, not spacious even for ordinary people.
12.50% service charge was ~ unexpected, that should be *bolded* at the bottom of the menu list.

Good Quality Spanish, North African and Mediterranean food! Unique and delightful blend of flavours. In other words YUMMY! Lovely atmosphere. A restaurant GEM in Hackney. In fact a friend who lives in the area recommend this place to eat and I took his advice and went here with 2 other friends and my 2 babies - who subsequently loved it too! It was amazing!! Family friendly too, I had a double buggy but was able to be seated. I went here during my maternity leave. We will definitely return for eats in the near future. Friendly staff too! Oh and not forgetting the unique receipt feature that certainly impressed me! If you know, you know! Highly recommend
This place likely needs no introduction, being part of the London restaurant scene so long it may as well be part of the furniture.
A very popular spot, the place is always busy, but they provide ac wonderful stay off plates and have a great wine list which will keep even the most discerning client happy.
For a decent, casual, if not cheap meal. Morito is definitely worth a visit.
