Berber & Q

There are a lot of great places to eat around the London Fields and Haggerston area, and quite a few good ones are beneath the railway arches that criss-cross the neighbourhood. A solid option near Haggerston station is Berber & Q, a North African and Middle Eastern-inspired restaurant with a great crowd, good food, and pumping music. Both the meat and veg dishes from the grill, alongside some dips and bread, will make you happy. The location’s a little off the beaten path unless you’re staying out east, but it's like stumbling into a hidden, locals-only spot.
