Not as expected - Edit
We went there for vegan Monday to discover that there is no vegan Monday anymore 😢 they were very kind to change the dishes into vegan version but at the end we ate lots of fried stuff and not much else.

Amazing food - Edit
Deserves higher rating than 4… app doesn’t allow. Staff are always friendly and accommodating. Food is delicious and they happily put any dips/ dairy parts of a dish separate if you’re sharing with a veggie/ omni. Vegan Mondays are brilliant

Went on Vegan Monday - brilliant - Edit
They serve a vegan only menu on Mondays and stated all but one of their wines are also vegan. They do a range of classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes. Great food.

Barely no vegan food on other days than Monday - Edit
None of the items on the menu were vegan when we visited the restaurant on a Tuesday night. Ended up eating a very simple salad with oil, figs and pistachios. Was ok, but not what I expected.

Happy Mondays - Edit
I'm amazed how long it's taken for word to spread about Morito Hackney's vegan Mondays. Expect a buzzing vibe in a modern dining room combining angular lighting softened by some excellent scalloped tiling.
Read moreServing small, Middle Eastern-inspired mezze-style plates suitable for sharing, this is a vibrant celebration of veggies, herbs and spices. It's innovative without trying too hard and optimises ingredient flavours - simple pan con tomate being a prime example. The menu varies but given the chance don't miss the light and crispy deep-fried aubergine sweetened with date molasses. Pickled cabbage dolma are a moreish rice-free twist on the classic.
Tahini and salted almond cake for dessert was slightly less successful than the savoury courses being a touch dry and crumbly in spite of accompanying yoghurt and strawberry compote but top marks for creativity - it's certainly the first time I've tried it!
The perfect place to take non-vegans who'll be so excited by the menu they won't even realise it was all plant-based until Tuesday. Booking recommended.
Pros: Efficient, friendly service
Cons: Ruling out some dishes, Tuesday to Sunday lagging behind
