  “I was in town visiting my sister, she said she knew a great place for brunch, we ventured, we crossed canals and traversed mucky terrain. We approached that place...it was closed. Thankfully, we found our way to Burnt Umber and life was good again. The decor is classy and comfy, the staff member was nice and friendly and the food, oh the food. I went random kinda healthy, trying the Kimchi pancake with a couple of eggs on the side, absolutely delicious. Sis had the balkan breakfast - loved it. Great to try something different, next time will go in the evening and go full Serbian - the grill platter looks oooweeee!”

  “Had the Sunday Roast here and it was honestly amazing—so flavorful and perfectly done. The place itself is beautiful, super cozy and aesthetic, and the whole area around the restaurant is definitely worth visiting too. The staff were all so sweet and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I’m genuinely obsessed and will 100% be back! 🌷”

  “Burnt Umber is different gravy. Had the čevapi Balkan sausage with bread, lettuce, and both the four-cheese and traditional sauces. Outrageous.Partner went shakshuka with homemade garlic bread. Rich, deep, and properly comforting. Coffee’s top tier too. The owners are beautiful people and you can taste the quality. They’re using seriously good ingredients. If you haven’t been yet, sort your life out and go.”

  “We had dinner here and the staff were genuinely lovely. They welcomed us even though the restaurant was closing. We were very well advised on our meat-share mix for three. The food was excellent, the service flawless and the atmosphere great. I can only recommend this place. Thank you to the team!”

  “So glad I discovered this place! The food is absolutely delicious – you can really tell how much care goes into every dish. As a real coffee lover, I have to say their coffee is easily the best I’ve had in a long time; it was exactly to my taste and perfectly brewed. ​We also tried the Sunday roast which was superb, and it’s great to see such high-quality vegan / vegetarian food options on the menu too. Finishing the meal with some authentic Balkan Rakija was a brilliant touch. Can’t wait to come back again soon!”

  “As a true Sunday roast lover, this is a place I’d happily return to again and again. From the cosy table setting and gently uplifting music to the friendly chatter of customers and the occasional neighbourhood dog stopping by, everything feels effortlessly welcoming. The staff are genuinely warm, the lighting glows softly, and on a winter afternoon like this, the whole experience leaves you feeling comforted, content, and quietly grateful.”

  “Absolutely fell in love with this place, the food is amazing for the price and big portions. Me and my boyfriend got the pancakes and full english and I have never had a breakfast as good as that. The pancakes were so fluffy with sweet fruit and the English breakfast sausage and mushrooms were to die for. The hot chocolates were really good and overall super cute and cozy with good music. Luckily we live right next to it will definitely become a regular.”

  “After teaching my yoga class, I wandered into Burnt Amber in Hackney Wick for a late brunch, and it turned out to be such a lovely surprise. I had their avocado toast with poached eggs and a matcha latte with coconut milk. Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. The atmosphere was peaceful, light-filled, and relaxed, just what I needed after class. What I also really appreciated was how laptop-friendly the space is. There are plugs available, and the vibe is quiet enough to take a call or get some work done without feeling rushed. If you’re in Hackney Wick, whether you’re coming from a yoga class or just looking for a nourishing brunch or a calm space to work, I highly recommend checking this place out. It’s a little gem that deserves some love. Thank you, Burnt Amber. I’ll be back soon.”
