About Oren
Oren is a modern Middle Eastern restaurant in the heart of Dalston, London, led by a produce-driven approach and a deep respect for traditional cooking methods from across the Levant, North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean. Our menu changes regularly, shaped by the seasons and built around bold flavours, slow cooking, live fire and carefully sourced ingredients.
Alongside an extensive wine list and warm, relaxed hospitality, Oren has become known for dishes that balance simplicity with depth — from house-baked breads and vibrant small plates to generous sharing dishes and daily specials inspired by both market produce and family-style cooking.
In 2026, Oren was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand, recognising our commitment to high-quality cooking and exceptional value.
Workplace Culture
At Oren, we are a small independent restaurant built around collaboration, respect and genuine hospitality. We care deeply about creating a positive working environment where people feel supported, valued and able to grow within the business.
Work/life balance is important to us, and we believe a healthy, sustainable workplace leads to better cooking, better service and a stronger team. As a close-knit group, everyone works together across all areas of the restaurant, supporting one another during busy services and sharing responsibility for maintaining the warm atmosphere Oren is known for.
We encourage open communication, creativity and professionalism, while keeping the environment grounded, friendly and team-focused.
