Could be so much better. Mezze was a joke. Meats were greasy. Service was arrogant.
Four times i was asked if i wanted bread. As it happens I didnt becuae it fills you up to much. But any turkish restaurant ive been in brings you bread immediately. This place wanted to charge.
The bill waswhat youd expect in Upper Street but the food wasnt worththe money. Why not just do it properly?
Obviously a business has to make money but when a restaurant is run by businessmen rather than caterers this is what usually happens.Could be so much better. Mezze was a joke. Meats were greasy. Service was arrogant.

Pie and Mash. If you have eaten it before, then you know the whole experience goes with the food. It has to have the right feeling in the place where the food is served. I love pie houses that take you back to the basics and a way of life that has pretty much diminished. Cooke's is the perfect Pie and Mash experience. I have been eating Pie and Mash for over twenty years and this place still sticks in my mind as one of the best.Pie and Mash.

This is a nice little hidden away place near Old Street, but just far enough away that it's not stupidly busy like most places in the area. It's along the canal too, which is an added bonus. :)This is a nice little hidden away place near Old Street, but just far enough away that it's not stupidly busy like most places in the area.

Avoid like the plague.
Do not waste your time or money here.

We were planning to start with a drink before our friends arrived and then all enjoy a Cuban meal here. One drink was more than enough to convince us to call our friends and head elsewhere.

I agree with another reviewer who said that the drinks were expensive and that the staff were phenomenally rude - even arrogant.

Whilst finishing our one drink we watched as two other tables enquired about dining but left before ordering a single thing.

How long a business can operate like this waits to be seen in current economy.

I say this prime spot would be much better occupied by a worthy establishment.

Everything is so dirty and slapdash that I would not dare even taste a morsel of their food.Avoid like the plague.

I had dinner there with a friend and we both decided to grab a pizza. I have to say both of us felt seriously unwell afterwards. It ruined our whole day getting food poisoning from this place and I couldn't apologise enough to my friend for taking her there. WILL NEVER EVER GO TO AGAIN!!

My friends have said it is terrible for a night out also.

Whenever I eat at this, my local Thai, it never fails to deliver and would have given 5 stars but sometimes it is too austere and needs softening. When busy, it is too noisy. The food however is stunningly good and always to the same standard, never disappoints. Never room for desserts; their Pad Thai is perfect as is the Ped Mekham with outstanding Spinach with garlic and ginger served on beautiful crockery - always recommend to groups and individuals alike.Whenever I eat at this, my local Thai, it never fails to deliver and would have given 5 stars but sometimes it is too austere and needs softening.

We had one of our most fun nights out of the year at Huong-Viet. All of our foodie friends from the North of London have raved about this Vietnamese canteen. As have Charles Campion, Time Out and Nigel Slater. It has a sense of authenticity and quirkiness that appeals in spades. Much of this is derived from the fact that the site for this restaurant used to be public laundry and baths and then became a community centre for Vietnamese refugees. It then evolved into a canteen serving authentic, inexpensive Vietnamese food to whoever was either close enough or brave enough to visit.

So when the excuse arose we pounced. With the aid of a compass, some thermals and an appropriately named Hackney Carriage we waded in on a mission to try the entire menu. With the aid of Edwin's impressive grasp of the Vietnamese language and Jack's sheer appetite we were soon swamped by so many dishes that we had to annex a second table!

Summer rolls were fresh, crunchy, soft, cool and fragrant all at the same time. I reckon I could eat these all day. For me they are on a par with the Paddyfield in Balham, if not better.

A Vietnamese omelette was unnecessary, given the amount of food we'd ordered, but delicious nonetheless. Stuffed with crunchy and gungy stuff it was a text book example of contrasting textures. Doused in firey chilli sauce and it really came alive.

The highlight to the first act of our meal was a plate of chargrilled squid which achieved the ultimate goal of being succulent and rammed with flavour at the same time.

Other starters such as fish cakes and beef wrapped in leaves were so good they disappeared before I could photograph them! Much to my irritation and everyone else's mirth. The beef transported me back to a lunch time cafe in Hong Kong which I became addicted to several summers ago.

It was as if the main courses didn't want to be outdone by the starters. My hot and spicy lamb was one of the favourite things I have eaten this year. It lived up to its name by delivering the sort of sticky, tangy heat that makes you lick your lips for days afterwards. I had to fight Jack and Anna off with my chopsticks.

Cowie's whole steamed sea bass was good enough to prevent me from being offered any. Always a good sign. It's just a shame they couldn't find a larger plate. But I guess that is part of the charm. incidentally, this appears to be one of Nigel Slater's favourite dishes.

Edwin's impressive ordering skills resulted in a scene that wouldn't have been out of place in an ad for HSBC! A waiter appeared holding a scorching hot plate at arm's length and deposited it, still spitting in front of Edwin. It was a wonderful piece of theatre. And cooking too. Given the amount of burning hot oil that splattered onto the table it was essentially a healthy option.

Other dishes included a fragrant chicken curry with a plenty of lemon grass and a saucy pork curry. All washed down with plenty of Vietnamese beer and a lot of banter. If you can judge a meal by how dirty the table cloth gets, then we had a whale of a time. By the end we were trying to interpret the oily splodges around Edwin's plate in a way that would have had psychologists raising a lot of eyebrows!

We loved the informal atmosphere, direct service, delicious food and cheap bill. Some writers have suggested that there has been a lull in quality in recent times. But that wasn't on show when we visited. We loved it and are already planning a return trip. We just wish that we either lived closer, or that they would consider opening in Brixton or Balham.We had one of our most fun nights out of the year at Huong-Viet.

The worst experience I have EVER had was here. Absolutely the rudest staff I have ever encountered. It says "cocktail bar" on their signs and menus, yet they forced all nine of us to order a main, even the one person who had come from somewhere else to meet us and wasn't hungry... bizarre. The portions were small and the drinks were packed with ice. They also seem to try operating on the minimum staff possible, never bringing water to the people who asked for it, bringing drinks but then not having glasses for over an hour. Awful.The worst experience I have EVER had was here. Absolutely the rudest staff I have ever encountered.

If you like authentic italian Pizza/Pasta then look no further!

One of my best places when I want something tasty, filling and good value for money!

The Pizzas are huge and the ingredients very tasty. Definetely try the Calzone.

I've visited the ones in Upper St, Russell Sq and Clerkenwell and all seem to have the same quality in food and staff service.

It's a perfectly good Indian. Good decor. Clean and without "I just called to say I love you" blaring out on sitars. The food is above average and seems to be fairly freshly cooked compared with some. The service is just above surly and is not overly attentive. In fact you have to remind them of things they have forgotten, or ask them to take your order. We go there regularly after football matches on weekday evenings and find it quite quiet by 10.00 pm despite the potential extra customers they could have.It's a perfectly good Indian. Good decor.

There are more eateries on Upper Street than one road neccesarily deserves. So how to choose one? Well the brief was...a few quick tastes at the Sampler, then a 1 hour slot for dinner and then down to the cinema to see Bond smoulder on the big screen before despatching a few bad guys through walls and stuff.

We'd been to Gem before because the name appeals to the young lady (I wonder why...?). We went back this time because of the fine food and the reasons above. It is a very friendly place with a partially unhinged waitress who's a bit of a hoot.

Little pancakes to start and then cold and hot mezze all round. The dips were tasty and the hot bits delicious. It wasn't complicated but it was well executed and everyone left feeling full and feeling that they'd got good value for their tenner. A beautiful bottle of Rioja on top and a bit of service and it was all in for Â£15 a head. And done in under an hour.

Government Warning: Do not arrive at the cinema after the hordes, sit right at the front and try to follow extreme Bond action camera movements on a full stomach of Kurdish food!There are more eateries on Upper Street than one road neccesarily deserves.

A beautiful garden provides a stunning setting for a range of organic breakfast offerings - welsh rarebit served with poached egg; the organic beans; nutty toast with organic jams are all touches that elevate this above other nearby places. You do pay substantially for the privilege but if it is a sunny day, it is definitely worth the expense...A beautiful garden provides a stunning setting for a range of organic breakfast offerings - welsh rarebit served with poached egg; the organic beans; nutty toast with organic jams are all touches that elevate this above other nearby places.

They say that this place is 'like' Jamie Oliver's 15, on the grounds that it also employs unemployed youngsters and trains them in professional kitchens. But as far as I'm concerned, that's where the similarity ends.
Unlike Jamie's place nearby, the Hoxton Apprentice is unpretentious (it doesn't charge Â£26 a plate for food described variously as 'Pucka' and 'Wicked' on the menu, for example). The food varies each week, and can include anything from basic and retro, like chicken kiev and chips (very nice it was too) to a more inspired Osso Bucco for supper. The service can be a little patchy, but one suspects that might be because the waiting staff are not longstanding professionals any more than are the staff in the kitchen, but they're unfailingly friendly so you forgive them. Prices are competitive for the area and good for the quality of food received. All round worth a visit...They say that this place is 'like' Jamie Oliver's 15, on the grounds that it also employs unemployed youngsters and trains them in professional kitchens.

I've been to Strada in Islington several times and have never left disappointed. They serve a variety of pasta dishes and pizzas and a great selection of fish. I ate a baby octupus for the first time in Strada!
The food arrived very quickly and was lovely and hot, portions were perfectly sized and left me feeling satisfied, rather than bloated, and with enough space for that all important desert.
Although they don't have an amazing selection, what they do serve is delicious. I can recommend the hot chocolate cake with vanilla icecream.

I went to Sangria for a friend's birthday and had read some pretty awful reviews so I wasn't expecting great things which is good as it's pretty mediocre and certainly lived up to its poor reputation.

The food itself was ok-but nothing out of the ordinary. Some dishes were bland, some dripping in oil, some lukewarm and some just nothingy. The paella they served was possibly the most tasteless thing I've ever eaten. There was just no point to eating it.

However, the food was the good part of the experience! The staff were woefully disinterested in actually waiting on their tables. It took me 6 requests to get a glass of lemonade, including my walking to the bar where the barman refused to pour it for me as my waiter had not asked him to. I then asked the waiter again and he blamed the barman. They said they would leave if off the bill and then didn't. Of course.

Service was haphazard, slow and at times rude.

There are many many restaurants I would far rather go to again than this one. Avoid at all cost.I went to Sangria for a friend's birthday and had read some pretty awful reviews so I wasn't expecting great things which is good as it's pretty mediocre and certainly lived up to its poor reputation.

I have been to the masala zone many times and have always found they serve great food which is also very good value for money. If you eat before 6 or 7 you can get 2 courses for 8 pounds bargain!! Best dish is a thali as you get a bit of everything! they do a great pineapple chutney a take on the typical mango chutney. also you have to try the mango lassi as it goes great with a hot curry. Staff are always really helpful and friendly especially if need help to decide what to have. the restaurant is also very modern in design and have lovely little booths.I have been to the masala zone many times and have always found they serve great food which is also very good value for money.
