Ada Restaurant in Enfield

Food and atmosphere and service was absolutely amazing if you come you must try the t-bone steak if you've got the stomach for it is huge

Today i visited Ada restaurant in enfield town and i must say, it was an amazing experience from the start to finish. Every dish was bursting with flavour and beautifully presented the service was impeccable with the staff being attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. the ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall enjoyment. I highly recommend Ada restaurant to anyone looking for an amazing dining experience. (i want to say one small thing i was skimming through the reviews and saw the one star review shared today and i think it is unfair to those hard working individuals to say they were rude after my experience with them today for the first time) I WILL DEFINITELY BE RETURNING BACK :)

Worst restaurant ever !!! I would give 0 stars , but that’s not possible , plssss avoid this place , the owners are very rude , the staff it’s always watching you so you can finish faster and they try to kick you out . The manager it’s making you feel so uncomfortable trying to make you buy the most expensive things on the menu , they thing we are stupid and try to manipulate and make you feel bad if you don’t buy their expensive steak and wine , very bad quality of service . They also force you to give tips every time you use the card machine payment . I won’t go there never again!!!

Fantastic place the breakfast was just awesome and super friendly staff! Would highly recommend and will be doing a visit there soon!

Nice lovely meal that was delicious.

Very friendly staff, yummy food, great serving size, wonderful ambience and a clean place.

Today I managed to visit one of the Turkish restaurants ADA on Enfield I want to note that the waiter's service was disgusting, disrespectful and generally unprofessional, a man of about 50-55 years old, I understood that he works as a manager over all the waiters in this restaurant. With such waiters, although they cook deliciously here, I don't want to visit this place anymore

Waitresses were very rude and had an attitude. Food was overpriced and didn’t taste as well as it used to. A friend of mine also had similar feedback a few weeks ago. Staff really need better training on how to seem more approachable and polite. Very disappointing!

Very tasty food and incredible service will be visiting here from now on.

I can say it was the Best lamb soup I had in a while, the service is absolutely Brilliant the staff is Friendly and Kind I felt really welcomed and will definitely recommend to my friends and family. Thank you once again.

Outstanding food!! I definitely recommend this restaurant if your in the area.

Ordered food for delivery and it was amazing. £40 platter was enough for 4 people and the food was delicious. Quick cook and delivery too. Will defo use again!

Another wonderful meal, delivered piping hot - absolutely delicious!

Lahmacun bread was quite tick which is not good for a good lahmacun. They put lettuce salad in a box to use for lahmacun wrap but salad was off. It was absolutely disgusting. Even my wife noticed it immediately and we put it in a bin.

Firstly, the food was tasty and well cooked. We went earlier today and the menu said (under each meal) served with hummus, cacik etc. So the lamb shish mentioned hummus etc. The kofte mentioned hummus etc. But when our meals came we got three very small bowls of chilli sauce, hummus and cacik (with bread on side). I pointed this out and believe it's misleading to mention the other stuff with each item, then just give three small bowls among us three. They said the three bowls were complimentary, then why list the extra things with each item on the menu? They did give us Turkish tea gratis, which was nice. Overall good food, just found the menu misleading. Don't list the hummus, cacik etc with each item you can select if it's just going to be three small bowls for three different meals.

Delicious dishes, great service, beautiful place. I love this restaurant.

it was nice, but £15.50 for the lamb shish and you only get 4 chunks of meat ....

Lovely place food was amazing meat was so tender and tasty.

This place is outstanding in every way. Incredible food, service, value for money and mind blowing desserts. A firm favourite at first sight.

The menu suggested lots available Gluten Free food. Turns out the menu is incorrectly labelling the food. I’m a coeliac and GF is a medical necessity. But the waiter gave me cous cous as GF, and we had to show him on the iPhone that cous cous is not GF. I was given rice (safe, right?). So when I asked what the brown bits were in the rice, the waiter had to go ask the chef. Turns out it’s orzo, pasta made from Durham wheat! Don’t eat here if you have allergens: the menu’s incorrect, the staff have no idea, and the restaurant shows no duty of care to its customers. My partner is not GF, and he enjoyed his meal. Good for him.

I've been to ADA on many occasions and enjoyed the experience, but the last few times, I have noticed that the food portions are tiny, but the price has increased alot. The moussaka portion has shrunk dramatically. The feta salad is mostly tomatoes. A table of 5 people will get the same amount of salad/dip starter as a table of 2. They used to give you more if there were more of you. The service can be slow. I'm afraid neither myself nor my friends are returning.

Absolutely delicious, good value for your money, great friendly service, very welcoming manager will definitely go again thank you Hashim for your recommendation and choices.

Lovely clean and friendly place. Food was nice portions needed more rice

Lovely food and very reasonably priced considering the size of the portions. Lovely atmosphere and good service especially from Hash

Incredible meats, excellent service and pleasant ambience at a very reasonable price. Its better than Skewd for half the price

Absolutely disgusting! I have just had dinner at Ada in Enfield and will never step foot in there again. I am horrified at what my 7 year old son was served for desert. My child had eaten half of his cake when i decided to try some. As soon as the cake hit my lips i could taste the mould! i turned the cake over in the plate and the entire bottom was covered in mould! This is completely unacceptable and although the staff put blame on their suppliers my child still left with a belly full of gone off cake. Change your supplier or learn how to store your food! Totally disgusted!

Disgusting! Went for dinner with my family and my young son was served a cake that was completely mouldy on the underside. The poor child ate half the cake before I tried a bit and tasted the mould straight away. I flipped the cake over and the underside was completely covered in mould! Will never eat there again!

Cake my boy ordered had mould on the bottom, avoid this place

It was my first time here. It's a peaceful place, beautifully decorated inside. Mr. Haşim, one of the waiters, is a truly professional, cheerful and friendly gentleman. I appreciated his efforts to ensure that the menus I ordered arrived at the right time and did not get cold on my table. It can also keep track of all guests inside and organize them. I applaud the chef who cooked the fish and calamari, he did a great job 👍👌 I would like to give a little advice to the bartender: When you order double raki, there are double and single lines on the raki glass and never serve raki under those lines. I really enjoyed being here. I definitely recommend this place and will be back!!!!

Great food, but my rice couscous was missing from my mousakka.

Saturday lunch scummy food. Ads never dissappoints. Staff very welcoming and professional. Always chooses this place when I'm in Enfield xxxx

Fabulous warm, friendly, prompt service. Delicious food.

One of the best Turkish breakfasts around

Nice ambience and very polite are.

Visit the restaurant for first time and I got amazing experience. The staff was ver very friendly and the food, oh....sooooo delicious 👌. 5 stars for the food and prices!!!

Absolutely appalling! As a customer for over 6 years never had a such a terrible experience at Ada. This was one of our fav places to catch up with family, such a shame to be writing this. Last night full of tension, atmosphere very tensed the servers had no clue about the menu we had to describe what we wanted. I believe the management has changed as I have not seen one familiar face. Order was taken wrong. Food was okay if they had not taken the order wrong or had listened to what we asked for more clearly. Food as mentioned was okay but portion sizes seems smaller. We tried to have a little joke to maybe change it up but seemed nothing was understood and we felt very awkard even about telling a joke. One of our guests had an allergy intolerance unfortunately no one had a clue on understanding what she meant and we were not satisfied with the way we were approached and lack of manner we were spoken to. Such a shame to say but we won't be returning.

Rice was off, smelly and rotten. When we informed the server they refused to acknowledge it stank and only did so when we informed them we have no issues with paying but don’t serve it tomorrow because it’s off! Asked for water, server literally rolled his eyes. Food was not warm, meat was chewy and we paid £50 for 2 main dishes. Seriously overpriced food.

Was Dissapoint on this occasion with the platter for 4 .Not enough shish meat for 4 or humous and the salad was mainly lettuce ting bit of shredded carrot n cabbage and 1 tomato chopped in tiny bits! since covid takeaways have become very minimal yet prices higher😔

Nice Turkish restaurant good food reasonably priced

Great service from the waitress!! hospitality from cypriot lady waiting our table tonight was on point. Thank you 😊

Very nice food. We had lamb that was just amazing

I have used Ada twice buying a takeaway meal. Food is excellent, service efficient and prices reasonable. Will eat in soon.

Staff extremely hospitable, food tasty, great night

One of our favourite restaurants in Enfield, been visiting them for years. Definitely try their chicken livers and kleftiko, they deliciously melt in your mouth! Wonderful staff :)

Amazing, God bless turkish people.

Normally enjoy food from here but the meat moussaka portion was tiny with only a spoonful of dry minced meat. Also all the food was stone cold and we had to heat in microwave which ruined the chips.

Beautiful fresh, flavoursome food. Large portions with complimentary bread, dips & salad to start. Lovely people and good service. Warm, contemporary atmosphere. Visited many times for special family meals. Highly recommend!

Consistently good food whether takeaway or eat in with friendly service

Food is delicious but the waiter wasn't really on the ball and we were rushed. We've had better treatment when we were there for longer and ordering more to eat and drink

The food was so nice and delicious and service was spectacular, also the owners where very nice and welcoming people with very affordable prices and nice decor.

My friend and I went last night I had the Kleftico and she had a creamy chicken dish. The Kleftico was absolutely tasteless. When the waitress asked how the food was I told her. Her reply was " The chef cooks this without any seasoning as he is unsure of everyones taste." She went and got some seasoning ( by this time it was too late) We would never return again as we had to pay for food that was disgusting.Also you would of thought they'd offer us an alternative, something complementry or even take the meat off . Sadly none of the above happened.

Our first visit to Ada lahmacun was very soggy dough needed more cooking it tasted like it was cooked earlier and they microwaved it to warm it up we got chefs special for two everything on that plate was disgusting food had no taste at all staff was friendly won’t be going again

This restaurant seems to be very tight with its salad. Its staff also have an attitude problem. We spent £80 plus on food, plus alcohol, and the waiter gave us a small salad for four people with the starters. On the menus, which were whisked away, it stated that all meals came with a salad each. No salad each came with the mains. I asked the waiter where was our salad with the main as per the menu? He first said ‘You want extra salad?’ meaning we had to pay £5 to have the salad - they’d also said that to us on the last visit a few months back. I said, ‘Not extra. It says it comes with the meals but you have not brought it.’ I then had to catch his eye which took a time as he seemed ‘busy’ elsewhere to ask a further two times as our meals were growing cold. Finally, he brought a small bowl of salad for us four and said in a thinly veiled sarcastic voice to me, ‘Here it is. Just for you’. No apology for not bringing out the wrong meal, or for the wait. Trying to get the bill brought took a further long wait, so we went to the till to pay which seemed to surprise the waitress who asked ‘Was no one there?’. I said ‘They were but we couldn’t get there attention’. My idea of a pleasant evening out is not *to be taken for a fool *having to chase the correct meal that I or ordered *having to chase the bill and give up and go to the till *to be spoken to disrespectfully by a sarcastic, deliberately inattentive waiter That was my last visit to Ada.

Very poor experience. Placed an order via deliveroo and got delivered completely wrong items. I called and complained so was sent yet another order with salad and rice instead of a whole platter. When I called again, I was told that this is not their mistake, and the person to blame is the deliveroo driver! What they forgot was that the second delivery was made by their own driver. The manager didn't want to listen to me when I complained again and told me it is "interesting ". Probably to them but not to me who waited over 2 hours to receive a box of salad and rice (instead of a whole platter) for £72. Won't be ordering anything from here again.

Beautiful decor, coupled with a splendid atmosphere and nice tasty food freshly prepared for you. Ohh! Don't forget to try their smoothies 😋.

We booked a table for a party of 40 for a birthday party with Eda the Manager. She was not only professional but kind, courteous, understanding , accommodating, helpful and very friendly The food was good, came within a short time of ordering, nice restaurant atmosphere Staff very attentive and professional We all enjoyed our time at Ada Thank you everyone we appreciate you!

It was my first time ordering here and I was blown away! It came hot, on time and was so delicious. HUGE portion sizes and extras. When I saw there was a little pot of hummus, I knew I was their customer forever (Hummus is my favourite,and an absolute weakness of mine!) I've not been so happy with a delivery before, and I cannot wait to order from Ada again.

Delicious and very hot delivered food. Very generous portions and extra bits came with it! Definitely ordering again !

Family of 6 coming from France to Enfield / London for New Year week-end, we had a lovely unplanned dinner. Received with special care. Really nice food. Affordable.

Food here is great and comes very clean and healthy

First time at this restaurant and first time eating Turkish food. We absolutely loved it. From appetizers to meal everything was delicious. You must try this restaurant, you will love it. Eda took care of us and she was absolutely wonderful. Took her time answering our questions and guiding us to a fulfilling delicious meal.

excellent..went there for Family get together higher recommended will return

Second Visit Busier on this occasion, which again was a late lunch. Nice atmosphere. We had fish which was cooked nicely and was very tasty. We had sea bream and sea bass. Huge portions. First Visit Nice lunchtime visit. We had a couple of starters which we shared. The lahmacun was good but would have preferred it a little spicier. The portions are large and bread salad and dips are complimentary. The service was friendly. Given it was a Monday it wasn't busy, so lacked a bit of atmosphere, but we rather liked that as we weren't rushed and spent a good couple of hours there. Their reservation system is not very efficient as I originally tried booking a couple of days earlier but did not receive a confirmation until the time we were already sat in the restaurant.

Great service, delicious food. Looking forward to returning soon.

Ive been to Ada's a few times and cannot fault this restaurant. The food is amazing, service is fantastic, you aren't rushed and staff are extremely polite and helpful. Only Turkish restaurant i visit in Enfield now. Great value for money.

For very good but portions have shrunk a lot

Went mid week so didn't expect an amazing atmosphere, but one of the dishes came out cold and needed to be sent back.

We went there for Sunday breakfast and we were very pleased, the quality of the products, the presentation and the price ratio are really good.

The food is fresh and very tasty. However, having ordered a platter for 4 at £70 your given the smallest salad to share. When we asked for more, they stated this would be chargeable to which we advised surely bigger the plaster bigger the salad. We weren't charged in the end but shouldn't have been the case in the first instance. One of the good things they didn't rush us to leave.

Just had a great meal. Complimentary starter of Turkish bread and fresh salad (and I mean fresh). Main courses were really nice and you can tell freshly made. If you fancy something different try the spicy turnip juice. All the staff were very friendly but not in an over bearing way. Definite recommendation.

Ada restaurant is a culinary haven that promises an unforgettable dining experience. My recent visit was elevated to excellence, thanks to the impeccable service provided by Okan, our fantastic waiter. From the moment we stepped into Ada, we were greeted with a warm ambience that beautifully complemented the rich flavours of Turkish cuisine. The menu was a delightful journey through traditional Turkish dishes, and Okan's expertise made our choices even more enjoyable. Okan, the maestro of recommendations, guided us through the menu with a passion for the cuisine that was infectious. His suggestions were spot-on, showcasing a deep understanding of the flavours and textures that make Turkish food so special. The food was a symphony of tastes, from succulent ribs to flavorful mezes. Each dish was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to authenticity and quality. The combination of aromatic spices and fresh ingredients transported us to the vibrant streets of Istanbul. Okan's attentive and friendly service added a personal touch to our dining experience. His knowledge of the menu and willingness to cater to our preferences enhanced the overall enjoyment of the evening. If you're craving an authentic Turkish culinary adventure, here is the place to be. And if you're lucky enough to have Orkan as your waiter, prepare for a dining experience that goes beyond expectations. They truly create a dining symphony that delights the senses.

Great food, nice restaurant and friendly staff

I called when delivery was 15 minutes late, the restaurant said it should arrive soon, the food arrived over 50 minutes late. Cold food, tried to heat in the microwave (which shouldn’t have needed to be done) the lamb was just so tough and chewy, not enjoyable at all. Would imagine it would have been okay if we dined in, but not acceptable, especially as I was feeding my children too. Not as if the food is cheap either! Overall, extremely disappointing.

Restaurant super temiz yemekler on numara kalitesi super personel fefkulade yine gelicez 🤗

Received a family platter and there was hardly any lamb shish at all very very tiny pieces of lamb and dry / chewy I'm surprised as I ordered at a reasonable time.

Nice but not wonderful food but disappointing for them to only have one Turkish dessert available. We went at 7pm so you would expect them not to have run out so early on.

Delicious fresh, food whether takeaway or eat in. We had an excellent takeaway from Ada recently. Quality ingredients, tasty and authentic. We have also eaten in the restaurant before, they do great Turkish breakfasts. Restaurant is clean and presented well.

Great place to hang out. Amazing interior. Great service and even greater people work there. Food is great and price as usual.

Beautiful ambience after their refurbishment. Great food as always, Chicken Salad was tasty and their bread is delicious. If you're in the area and fancy a meal, I recommend this restaurant.

First time we'd been there. Really great food and service.

Nice delicious food very friendly service and caring staff prices are moderate but worth the food

Quality food as always never disappoints.

Very nice place, good service. We all enjoyed our food.

I haven't been here for a while. Looks like it has had a fairly recent refurb which looks cery nice. Toilets are clean and well kept. The food was still good and reasonably priced. Fairly busy for a friday lunchtime but prompt and friendly service

Place had small change inside, but food is still very tasty.

Taste and sweet food service. quickly responce

Strongly recommend the lamb shish. Cooked perfectly! Service with a smile and happy to accommodate. Not pushy for service charges either.

Fabulous food, staff are always so lovely. Made me a special birthday cocktail which was delicious. Generous portions of tasty and well presented food. Keen to help with anything we needed. Thanks to the whole team 😃

Exceptional food and great service from the staff. Always making sure we had everything we need.

Always great service, a more intimate dining experience as its not as rowdy and busy like the other Turkish restaurants in North London. Can't go wrong with the sarma lamb betti here.

Fabulous service, delicious food and drinks.

Have been dining and ordering from this place for years and it has been great. Today unfortunately had a bad experience, the female waitress was rude when I asked for the eggs to be scrambled and when I asked about allergy information. Ruined the experience for us and we had to pay and leave without eating the food. Such a shame to lose regular customers due to this attitude. Will be dining somewhere else.

One of the best chefs specials I've ever eaten. No diner, not swimming in grease, loads of meat and very healthy. I note also that the price is very competitive. I've been in the restaurant and I really enjoyed the meal, portions are huge and service is great. I will be ordering again

Have eaten here a few times and prefer it to the other 'bigger' Turkish restaurants locally. It's more modern Turkish food in my opinion. Noticed today that they had a lamb dumpling dish which I might try next time. It's never terribly busy but the service is very good. Our meals were very tasty and it was lovely to round it off with a complimentary Turkish tea.

Food was tastless and the meal was overpriced for what you got. £2.50 for a small plastic bottle of water... I won't be returning again.

Friendly and welcoming Staff. Food that was ordered came quite quickly. Portions were a good size. Staff even sang Happy Birthday whilst bringing my Son out his Birthday Cake. (Date visited 20/5/2023).

The food was average on this occasion it wasn’t hot and tasted greasy

Great food and atmosphere I have to question the service as I have never been rushed out of a restaurant like this. I had a lady tell me we have to leave in 30 mins and that was fine we had been there 3 hours for my daughters first birthday. Then within a minute I had another lady come up to me saying you have to leve its an emergency. This really upset myself and my fiancee and our guests. I understand they have other customers to think about but but please communicate with your team better as it was embarrassing and we love the food. My partner doesn't want to come back there now very sad.

Service was great and food was fantastic. Changed my mind about this restaurant. Keep it up!
