  • Good for groups
Moro and Morito chef proprietors, Sam & Sam Clark, opened their third restaurant, located at 195 Hackney Road in 2016.

Morito Hackney Road's Head Chef, Sevan Tchivitdji, draws influences from Southern Spain, North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean.

Morito has a concise offering of wines from the Mediterranean - primarily mainland Spain and Portugal - with a couple of lesser-known wines from the Canary Islands. There is a selection of sparkling, white, red, pink, and orange wines, with many available by the glass. For those looking to venture past these, there is also a list of Sherry and Vermouth.

    There was a lot that they had run out of and the replacement was not good value. V disappointing cocktails- they couldn't do standard ones and choice limited. Food was tasty but overall didn't think good value for money. Unlikely to go for a meal again, maybe pop in for a plate of labneh and a glass of wine.

    Every dish a knockout. Waited a while for service, though.

    They did not give any olive oil for the bread, the service was quite poor and the food was average.

    The food was incredible. So much flavor and reasonably priced. The cod melted in my mouth and the lamb chops were beautifully cooked. Our waitress Sarah was really nice and attentive. She suggested some really nice sherry for us to try and we weren't disappointed. My girlfriend and I will definitely be coming back.

    Went on Valentine’s Day and was truly disapointed. Hard to do tapas poorly but somehow they managed. Patatas bravados were flavorless, very dry sausage, very tough crispy pork belly. Even the bread was poor - came out cold without any kind of seasoning / butter. The hummus was good - but really clutching if the hummus was the highlight. If you want tapas / small plates - go to la farola in Islington instead.

    Really good atmosphere. Odd layout with bar area taking way too much sauce. We were at counter and service was haphazard. A couple of mains came out before starters. Food quality decent but perhaps lacking healthy options and could use a bit more imagination. I would recommend Morito for lovely atmosphere and young crowd but not for its product right now

    One of my favourite restaurants in Hoxton and for the first time in nearly 10 years I was disappointed by the quality of the food.

    This place is always a success if you wany to please everyone!( meat eaters,pescatarians, and veggies). The tapas/ mezze style dishes are all delicious and the woodgrilled flatbreads are amazing! It's like MORO without the price tag. Only downside is the concrete walls and ceilings make Morito a noisy space- MORO is better if you want a buzzy vibrant atmosphere but want to able to chat easily above the background noise.

    Have been previously, but this was the first for breakfast. Limited options (4), but the dishes we have were amazing. Will come for breakfast again.

    This is our third or fourth time of dining here and as always the staff were lovely and very accommodating. We arrived a little late for our booking but they found us a nice table with no fuss even though it was quite busy. The food is great. One slight gripe was with the ‘special’ that we ordered. This was a prawn and pine nut dish, which sounded great and tasted okay, but most of the flavour was on the shells. I feel that a little more work could be done on the no and low alcohol cocktails. The one I tried (ginger ice) was very unbalanced - very citrusy with no sweetness to counteract that….& no discernible ginger. On the other hand the espresso martini and Adonis were very nice
