About the Vibe
Tucked on Broadway Market, Aya & Suki is that rare find: a tiny, female-queer owned spot serving up genuinely exciting vegan food without the pretension. Bursting with neon pink energy, you'll find yourself drawn to their sharing plates—think mezze-style dinners or brunch platters designed for grazing with friends. It's not fancy in the traditional sense, but the high-quality, freshly made fare with a lively touch makes it worth the trip to Hackney.

Neon energy, solid vegan food
Aya & Suki is exactly the kind of place that makes you fall for East London all over again. Tucked away on Broadway Market, this tiny spot punches way above its weight with its high-quality vegan fare and vibrant energy. The neon pink interior sets the tone—it's playful, welcoming, and unmistakably local. You'll want to come for the sharing brunch platters on a lazy weekend morning, then stick around for dinner when the mezze menu comes out. Everything feels freshly made and thoughtfully prepared, with flavors that pop without trying too hard.
It's not a grand dining experience, and that's part of its charm. This is a neighbourhood restaurant first and foremost, run by folks who clearly care about what they're serving. The food is honest, the atmosphere is relaxed, and you'll leave feeling satisfied rather than stuffed. If you're looking for a place that feels authentic to Hackney's community spirit while delivering solid vegan food that doesn't skimp on flavor, this is it. Skip the tourist traps and come here instead.
