Selale

Located just a stone's throw from the River Medway, Selale has become a local favourite due to its friendly atmosphere, its 'holiday feel' and its positively delicious menu. As with much Mediterranean cuisine, it's the range of ingredients on the menu at Selale that impresses. Seafood is prominent, but with a great range of cold and hot starters, grilled mains and vegetarian dishes from Turkey, Greece, Spain and Cyprus there really is something for all tastes and appetites.

Starting at £3.25, the starters menu lists tantalising treats such as crab claws deep fried in breadcrumbs served with tartare sauce and muska borek - moreish parcels of filo pastry filled with cheese and spinach and shallow fried. Mains start at £7.75 and include succulent meat dishes like Islim - large, boneless chunks of lamb topped with fried aubergine slices, tomato and peppers, baked in a light sauce and served with rice and classic chicken brochettes, perfectly marinated and chargrilled on the skewer with onions and peppers. Notable fish dishes include the paella a la Valencia and the chargrilled swordfish steak. With dishes such as the fried aubergine moussaka with courgettes, carrots, potatoes and brown lentils topped with cheese sauce, this is definitely a place for vegetarians. To finish, treat yourself to dessert from just £2.50 - who could say no to apricots and cream sprinkled with nuts? Whether for some meze, a light salad or a feast, Selale guarantees an authentic Mediterranean dining experience.
