HERA named after the Greek Goddess just opened in Stratford Cross.  The restaurant champions Greek cuisine and transforms seasonal ingredients into elegant dishes that reflect the variety of what Greek food has to offer. 

HERA’s menu takes diners on a journey through Greecian cuisine where vegetables, meat and seafood all contribute to create a varied selection of dishes designed to share.

‘To Begin’, a selection of mezze dishes are available from Anchovies, to Kalamata Olives and of course a selection of dips such as Tarama, Tzatziki and Melitzanao Salata (Smoked Aubergine with Thyme and Honey).

’The Garden’ celebrates all that is grown from the ground and includes classic hits such as Vegetable Moussaka, Gemista (stuffed courgettes) and Feta Sagnaki. For something more meaty ‘The Farm’ section offers Grilled Baby Chicken with Herb Salt, Beef Meatballs and Lamb Chops.

Finally, for those wanting to dive into Greece’s Mediterranean shores there is ‘The Sea’ offering options such as Grilled Octopus, Wild Sea Bass and of course Calamari. 

HERA also offers a selection of cocktails, which can be enjoyed in the Cocktail Lounge located at the front of the restaurant. The restaurant signatures include Helen of Spice (a twist on a Spicy Margarita) and Dates in Crete (a twist on an Old Fashioned) or a refreshing Nymph Minthe and Karpuzi Island.

For those preferring wine Hera’s wine list serves a wide selection of Greek wines. From Santorini’s Assyrtiko to the rich Cabernet Sauvignon, of Kokotos.

A 200 seater restaurant, HERA is a lateral and welcoming space where a colour palette of warm aubergine, marble, copper and gold creates an elegant and inviting interior. Window lined walls ensure plenty of natural light in the day and the evening shimmer of surrounding outdoor lights by night.

Located in the heart of Stratford Cross, HERA is a part of a development aiming to become a new hub in East London. A stone’s throw from the ABBA Arena, and directly opposite the much anticipated V&A Museum, which will open in Spring 2025.
