DOMA

DOMA fills a genuine gap in London's dining scene with proper Balkan cooking, built around a coal grill that gives the meat its distinctive smokiness, alongside burek and a tart, cooling yoghurt drink that reviewers single out as unmissable. A sour cherry dessert gets particular praise as the standout way to finish the meal. Its perfect 5.0 rating, albeit from a still-small pool of 29 reviews, together with one of the highest hidden-gem scores in this batch, marks it as a genuine local discovery rather than a well-trodden tourist stop. The mid-range pricing and relaxed lunch-or-dinner slots make it an easy, low-key meal for anyone curious to try a cuisine rarely represented in London.
