Filika Restaurant in Wanstead offers a sophisticated take on Mediterranean cuisine, blending traditional Turkish flavours with wider influences from the region. Located on the High Street, it is known for its smart, comfortable, and cosy atmosphere, making it a popular choice for everything from casual meals to special occasions.
The kitchen places a strong emphasis on fresh, high-quality, and seasonal ingredients, which are showcased across their diverse menu. A particular highlight is their meticulously prepared fish and seafood selection, which is sustainably sourced and delivered daily, distinguishing them from typical Turkish eateries by offering dishes like Mixed Fish Grill and Herb-Crusted Salmon alongside classic charcoal-grilled meats such as Lamb Shish and Mix Grill.
The menu caters comprehensively to various tastes and dietary needs, featuring a wide array of options from extensive hot and cold meze platters—including Humus, Cacik, and Stuffed Vine Leaves—to vegetarian choices like Moussaka and Quinoa Salad.
Guests consistently praise the professionalism of the service and the overall dining experience, noting the visually appealing presentation of the food. Filika successfully creates a warm, welcoming 'Turkish Mediterranean' ambiance, cementing its reputation as a local culinary haven in Wanstead for diners seeking both expertly cooked grilled meats and an excellent selection of fresh seafood and healthy Mediterranean starters.
From what I remember, they usually have some great lunch offers during the week, but I don't recall it having a strict 'set menu'
