Stone Cave is a Turkish restaurant on Kingsland High Street in Dalston, serving food from breakfast through to late dinner since 2002. Stone Cave Dalston takes its name from the interior: stone-effect seating, coloured lanterns hanging from the ceiling and a cosy, cavern-like dining room.
The all-day menu runs from Turkish-inspired brunch, think menemen, sucuk toasties and baklava-style waffles, to classic hot and cold meze, falafel, calamari and charcoal-grilled kebabs in the evening. A separate bar list covers cocktails, beer and wine.
It suits a lazy weekend brunch, a relaxed dinner with friends and bigger celebrations, with a private dining section for up to 50 guests and a dedicated party menu. There is a kids’ menu too, so families are well looked after.
