Newington arrival Homa will brighten up your day.  Stoke Newington Church Street is a funny one. It has a reputation as a foodie destination — and on a Saturday night it hums with local people having a fun time supporting local businesses, all to the good. Sometimes, however, the street’s parts seem to subtract to less than their sum. They’re all friendly, but with the possible exception of the Anglo-Asian curry house — and that’s only because they bring you a free sherry to start and a free whisky to finish — no one venue truly transcends.

Then, a few weeks ago, a new contender arrived. At the split-level property that was once home to a grim pizza-and-misery joint, hoardings appeared for a place called Homa, which through font alone seemed to up the ambition. Now it’s open, and the locals have fallen upon it like children on snow.

On buzzy Stoke Newington Church Street, this continental-style brasserie is already pulling in date-night couples and polite gaggles of friends… With friendly, informal service, Homa has judged its market with care and has all the right ingredients to attract a loyal following.

Great fresh food,relaxed atmosphere. Exactly what Stoke Newington needed- an individual non-ethnic based menu relying on fresh seasonal ingredients. Would return again and again

Newly opened, nicely decorated and an interesting and very well cooked menu. If Homa keep these standards up they could be looking at the title of best place to eat on Church Street.

I’ve been desperately looking for good breakfast options in Islington and Stoke Newington…  Homa is the best I have found so far.  Lovely, intelligent, light food, nice decor, great coffee…and all within a 5 minute cycle of home. Yee ha!
