Best Restaurants in Dalston

74 restaurants analyzed · London

Dalston has a strong dual identity shaped by its Turkish restaurants and the café scene that lines Kingsland Road and Ridley Road Market. Prices run across the board, from low-key Turkish grills to smarter wine bars and British tables that have opened in recent years. It sits in East London with a personality that is distinct from neighbouring Hackney - less café-focused, more night-facing, and worth visiting specifically if Turkish cooking is what you are after.
