Dyafa
Palestinian-Syrian fare from Reem Assil and Daniel Patterson
From the moment you set eyes on this 105-seat gem in Jack London Square you’re assured of its Arabic roots: see the vibrant flecks of colour on the interiors and the standout, geometric floor tiles. The sharing plates for lunch comprise dishes including dips and grain bowls, along with (Arab convex griddle) saj-baked flatbread wraps. This communal aspect takes precedent for dinner too: gather round for the shrimp tomato clay-pot stew, or charred eggplant with garlic, lemon and tahini, to name but two. With Middle Eastern-inspired cocktails from Aaron Paul as well, a visit to Dyafa is a no-brainer.
