Cilicia Cafe & Restaurant is a family owned Mediterranean venue at 440 Muswell Hill Broadway. By day it has the easygoing character of a cafe serving breakfast and lunch, then shifts into a cosy restaurant for the evening. This all day identity makes it equally useful for brunch, a casual family meal or dinner with friends.
Breakfast ranges from a full English to Turkish and Cilician plates with eggs, halloumi, olives and spiced sausage. Vegetarian versions give meat free diners substantial morning choices. After 5pm, the menu turns towards Mediterranean grills, seafood, casseroles and pide, drawing on traditions from around the region.
Hot and cold meze encourage sharing, with hummus, vine leaves, grilled halloumi, calamari and vegetable preparations among the choices. Lamb, chicken and fish appear from the charcoal grill, while moussaka, stuffed vegetables and falafel provide contrasting styles. Baklava and sütlaç offer traditional sweet finishes.
Wine and cocktails are selected to accompany the breadth of the food, and vegetarian and vegan dishes appear across the menu. Cilicia accepts reservations as well as walk ins, supporting both planned occasions and spontaneous meals. Guests with allergies or medical dietary needs should tell the restaurant so staff can explain current ingredients and preparation.
