Bodrum Cafe Bar in Hackney

Great food, good service about 25 GBP per person, including drinks & desert (+ a drink on the house) great spread, very authentic..

We went there during their opening month in November 2014. It was busy. There were 20 of us and the staff struggled to cope with our orders. Some food was excellent some poor and some never arrived. I had hoped that things would improve but the restaurant is now closed

He estado en la sucursal de Upper Street un par de veces y es indiscutiblemente mi restaurante favorito en Londres. La mantequilla es ahumada y batida, que es un placer para empezar. El personal es muy amable y te ayudará con recomendaciones sobre los especiales si te quedas atascado. Tanto pensamiento y esfuerzo van en todo. El repollo ennegrecido es uno de los lados más sabrosos que he tenido y el queso coliflor con paloma rallada también es una delicia. Los cortes de comida cambian cada día a medida que obtienen la carne fresca todos los días, por lo que si bien el menú cambia ocasionalmente, la experiencia es diferente cada vez, ya que se puede comer la carne de cerdo una vez y la siguiente. De hecho, creo que los lados son mejores que algunos de los platos de carne, que a veces pueden ser un poco complicados, pero generalmente hay algo que es diferente y lo suficientemente especial como para que regrese y le dé 5 estrellas.

Sat outside - I picked a shady seat - and had Menemen breakfast and coffee. Both were perfect. The place is chilled and friendly. Read the paper for a while and watched the World go by. Perfect spot.

I want to love this place so much - its a little local cafe in a lovely spot with outdoor seating which makes me want to go every time I walk past. However I've been twice now and I definitely wouldn't bother again. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt - I don't mind a relaxed vibe in terms of service - but the staff are just don't seem to care and as a result it is unenjoyable. Both times I've had to ask for menus and later to order after no one came (most people around me have had to do the same both times), and both times the food has been missing things - the first time my coffee had no syrup and the second time someone had forgotten to put any ham in the ham and cheese croissant. Honestly such a shame this place is let down by the staff. They seem lovely but can't do their job.
