The story
Delamina in London offers a refined approach to Eastern Mediterranean cooking on Marylebone Lane, guided by the intuitive palate of chef Limor. Her menu reflects a blend of Middle Eastern and European heritage, rooted in techniques like grilling and roasting that highlight raw ingredients without masking their natural character. Limor, who was born to a family spanning these regions, draws inspiration from her father's passion for herbs and spices, translating those early influences into dishes that balance wholesome nutrition with complex flavour profiles.
The kitchen's focus on health-conscious preparation has earned Delamina an AA 2 Rosette award, recognising the consistency and quality of its Eastern Mediterranean offerings. Limor's self-taught method produces a range of vegetarian dishes alongside meat preparations, often using aromatic spice blends to create unique combinations that distinguish the menu from conventional regional fare. Her recently published debut cookbook extends this philosophy, sharing the fragrant recipes and family stories that have established the restaurant as a destination for those valuing authentic regional flavours.
A warm and vibrant atmosphere defines the dining room, where the service matches the thoughtful composition of the food. Guests can explore a curated selection of wines sourced from eastern Mediterranean producers, complemented by house cocktails that mirror the kitchen's use of aromatic ingredients. The venue also accommodates intimate gatherings in dedicated spaces, including a Green Room for eight to ten diners, ensuring the same attention to detail remains central whether for a casual meal or a private celebration.
