Feeling incredibly grateful to have placed #43 in the last night.
A huge thank you to everyone who voted for us, and an especially heartfelt thank you to our incredible team, whose hard work, talent and dedication make achievements like this possible. We’re so grateful for everything they do, day in and day out.
As we approach 10 years of Perilla, this recognition feels extra special. To be among the UK’s Top 100 restaurants after nearly a decade of service is something we’re immensely proud of.
Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey.

Unfortunately we’ve had to close the restaurant this evening after a local electricity column caught fire on Newington Green causing a total cut off of electricity to our block. We expect to be back up and running by tomorrow and will keep people update if the issue persists. Please contact us directly on here or call our sister restaurant Morchella on 02079160492 if you need any assistance. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

You’ve probably seen these two running the floor at Perilla... now they’re actually running 🏃♂️
On May 17th, Joe (GM) and Fil (AGM) are taking on the Hackney Half Marathon in support of BID.
They’re aiming to raise funds to help provide free legal advice and representation to people held in immigration detention in the UK, something BID has been doing for over 20 years, supporting more than 47,000 people.
If you’d like to help them reach their fundraising goal, please head to the link in our bio to make a donation.
From all of us at Perilla, we’ll be cheering you boys on!
