42 Holborn captures the welcoming spirit of a lokanta, where food is meant to be shared and conversation flows with ease. The atmosphere is relaxed yet polished, shaped by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours that lean on citrus, herbs and gentle smoke from the grill.

The meal opens with warm bread, salted butter and olive oil lifted with pomegranate, alongside marinated olives scented with lemon, oregano and Urfa chilli. Meze follows with smooth hummus finished with green oil and the rich depth of muhammara, before plates of grilled halloumi, garlic king prawns and confidently cooked fish and meats begin to arrive. Salmon with lemon and caper, ribeye steak and wild sea bass show careful balance, while the slow-braised Welsh lamb shank brings comforting richness.

Designed for lingering, the menu suits both quick catch-ups and leisurely feasts, with simple sides, seasonal vegetables and thoughtful options for younger diners. The room hums with shared plates and easy enjoyment.

Gather friends, book a table, and let the table fill naturally. At 42 Holborn, the best moments happen between bites.
