About Maray Bold Street
Bare brick walls and pendant lights set the scene on Bold Street, and the room earns its reputation for atmosphere without trying too hard. The small-plates menu leans Middle Eastern and eclectic — the disco cauliflower is the dish everyone ends up ordering, the crispy sea bass and the cauliflower bhajis draw their own loyal following, and the vegan options are treated with the same care as everything else. The lunch menu is worth knowing about: serious value, same kitchen. Macedonian wine made it onto one table recently and apparently wowed; the cocktails are ordered in numbers that suggest they're doing something right. Service is where Maray earns real loyalty — Ellis presented handwritten anniversary cards and glasses of fizz without being asked, Millie and Naomi are name-checked by regulars, and the kitchen will work around intolerances when you tell them upfront.
