HERA in Stratford is a modern Mediterranean-inspired restaurant that brings bold flavours, elegant presentation, and a stylish atmosphere to East London. Located in the heart of Stratford, this contemporary dining destination offers a selection of Mediterranean cuisine, showcasing dishes from across Greece’s diverse regions.
Inside, you can expect a sophisticated setting, with a warm feel that reminds guests of sunnier climates. Foliage sprawls across the walls whilst potted olive trees stand tall around the restaurant. Plush burnt-orange banquet seating fills the main dining room with eclectic light features which add to HERA’s ambience.
The menu at HERA is designed to showcase the best Greek flavours, with a focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients and expertly crafted dishes. Guests can enjoy a selection of mezze-style appetisers, such as creamy taramasalata, sweet and sour melitzano salata (finely chopped aubergine with honey and balsamic), and fried courgette with tzatziki, perfect for sharing.
Starters offer classic dishes such as prawn saganaki flambeed with ouzo and smoked aubergine with zataar honey and truffle oil, whilst signature mains span tender grilled lamb chops, honey-mustard marinated chicken skewers grilled on charcoal, and herb-crusted cod. There’s a vast selection of vegetarian dishes too, including Greek salad packed full of peppers, feta and olives, as well as meat-free twists on classics like vegetarian moussaka. Don’t miss out on HERA’s selection of flatbreads and handmade dips - the perfect accompaniment to any meal.
A set menu is also available, offering three courses for a fixed price. Guests can start with feta saganaki or calamari with aioli, before moving onto chicken skewers, moussaka, or king prawns. Finish up with a flaky phyllo dessert, or an indulgent raspberry, chocolate pie. HERA also boasts an impressive drinks menu, with expertly crafted cocktails inspired by Mediterranean flavours, a carefully selected wine list, and a variety of refreshing mocktails.
