About Maray Bold Street
Maray Bold Street is a Middle Eastern small plates restaurant where you order 2–3 dishes per person and everything arrives at once, designed for sharing. The menu runs heavily towards mezze, grilled proteins, and vegetables—disco cauliflower, steak, fried chicken, chickpea dopiaza—with nearly the entire offering adaptable to gluten-free or vegan diets. It's casual and cosy, full by dinner service, the kind of place where staff know the menu inside out and won't let you leave hungry despite the "small plates" label. Bold Street's best restaurant right now, the one locals actually return to.
What Stands Out
Vegan and gluten-free done properly
"Great food and the menu is almost 100% gluten free or adaptable." Another reviewer noted "they offer GF draft beer and GF zero beer." A vegan customer's birthday dinner was called "a perfect place for him" because mezze format suits plant-based eating.
Staff who actually know what they're talking about
"Staff were super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable, happy to explain dishes and offer recommendations." Service described as "warm, welcoming and really attentive without being intrusive." One reviewer's server Mel was "fantastic, very knowledgeable and super friendly."
Portions that don't match the menu's promise
"Even though they say 'small plates' and recommend 2-3, you will not be hungry after this!" Multiple reviewers confirmed leaving satisfied despite the small-plates framing.
