Oren
Mediterranean Sharing Plates & Low-Intervention Wines in Dalston
Oren, situated on Shacklewell Lane in Dalston, is a neighbourhood restaurant-bar offering Mediterranean-inspired sharing plates from a charcoal grill and a selection of low-intervention wines from small growers. Opened in October 2019 by chef-owner Oded Oren, the restaurant draws inspiration from his Tel Aviv roots, emphasising seasonality and local produce. The intimate setting features simple whitewashed tables and muted grey walls, creating a cozy atmosphere for diners. Critics have praised Oren's dishes, highlighting the 'Jerusalem mixed grill'—fluffy pitta bread stuffed with melt-in-the-mouth offal, tahini, and sharp pickled mango—as a standout. Other notable offerings include soft baked flatbread with zingy tomato salsa and slow-cooked ox cheek with nutty hummus. The wine list features an impressive selection of low-intervention wines, complementing the vibrant flavours of the menu.
