Comfort food from the Middle East

The charcoal grill is hot at the tiny restaurant Oren in Dalston. This is a restaurant that draws inspiration from Eastern Mediterranean cuisine; it’s simple, honest, and finger-licking good! Bread, pita, and challah are interspersed with vegetables, seafood, beans, and lentils. The venue is tiny, which creates a closeness and energy that fits very well with what is served on the plates and in the glasses.
