"My son of eleven would come home every day complaining that the lunches at school were not filling or tasty."
Instead, he would buy very unhealthy deep fried chicken for less than the cost of his school lunch. This lack of a healthy yet tasty food option in East London sparked my vision for Olives and Oregano.
For ten years I travelled through Europe, working across its diverse restaurant scene. From those experiences I created a unique and healthy menu of carefully selected dishes that bring together the best flavours I discovered along the way.
I know how important great flavour is to the local community, and I can assure you it is something our dishes have plenty of. Every day my wife and I personally cook all of our meals with freshly purchased ingredients. As we are in the heart of Whitechapel, all of our ingredients and spices are sourced fresh from the market across the road. We want our meals to be a healthy and delicious alternative to the many other options commonly found in this part of London.
Step by step, I am determined to help young and older people across Tower Hamlets choose healthier food options at an affordable price.
