Good selection of salads . We've been here twice. Once for dinner and the other time for lunch . The salads are perfect for lunch . For dinner we opted for something more substantial, tasty but not large

Melanie Mitchell

Route is great for breakfast lunch and a chilled dinner the service is always excellent. its a popular choice so be prepared for a bit of a wait if you go at peak times.

Sandor Szabo

One of the best brunch options in Dalston. Impossible to single out any of the food options, all breakfast plates are amazing. Nice coffee and friendly service too.

Dan

The food here is fantastic with a range of deliciously put together salads to go with your main. Lovely atmosphere too on a bright Sunday morning.

Amazing and very flavoursome foods. Tasted all the salads and recommend all! Veggie lasagna is one of the best I’ve had. Lovely staff too.

Amazing breakfast menu .. A bit crowded during the weekends but totally worth it

It's as good as Ottolenghi without the stratospheric price. Highly recommended for vegans and dabbling vegetarians alike.

Order outside your comfort zone. Trust that these guys know more about food than you do. It's like a Ottolenghi of the East.

The brunch was great - delicious bread and eggs !!

Hannah Parvaz

Really delicious salads , but bizarre pricing methods on the mains.

Blundstone Osterberger

Excellent food. Dipped in quality briefly but came back strong. Its been my local for over a year now.

Steph

Nice place, nice food, but, alas, challengingly incompetent service. It's like one of those charming Italian comedies in which nobody's got a clue what's going on.

Sandra Dzērve

Very nice Mediterranean breakfast-must try!

Mediterranean breakfast , Spanish/British breakfast .... It sounds weird, it tastes weird. This is a typical wannabe cafe ...

Visited a few times, the coffee and food are quite good but one of the staff was very rude once. I heard a staff talk behind my back for getting water from the dispenser as I ordered takeaway coffee .
