Moro Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Every meal I have ever eaten here has been simultaneously satisfying and surprising, homey and exotic."
• "The flavour of the pea, jamon and meadow sweet soup was as deep as its green colour."
• "The food was seasonal, beautifully cooked and the portions were generous."
• "The food was amazing, every mouthful incredible."
• "Small tasty and thoughtful appetizers, generous and delicious wood-grilled mains, simple and spot-on deserts."
• "Delicious moorish fusion cuisine where contrasting flavours are excellently paired on an ever changing menu."
• "Food that sounded good on the menu, hit another dimension in the mouth."

Cons:

• "Hugely disappointed with the food - big servings but nothing special about the flavour or presentation. Especially for the price point."
• "Disappointing. I was really looking forward to this as I love Morito in Hackney. However, this meal lacked interesting flavours, had tiny portions and extremely overpriced."
• "The food was not that special, perhaps because it was a Friday afternoon. Over salty."
• "Both dishes were extremely average, and the meal came to £71 for 2 courses and a bottle of sparkling water."
• "Sadly we got a couple of fairly mediocre dishes (my cold sad starchy potatoes a particular disappointment)."
• "Just had my worse meal at Moro. The pork belly was dry, potatoes dripping in fat and presentation confused."
• "The food wasnt excellent which I had always expected and enjoyed at Moros."
