Chef cafe bistro & restaurant in Hackney

Fab. Go. Eat. Gorgeously decorated

I made a reservation for New Year's Eve. I put in a bank imprint etc. I received the confirmation emails. The same day, 12/31/2024 at 1:00 p.m., I received a WhatsApp message saying that the reservation was canceled because the restaurant will not open. This is unacceptable, we find ourselves with nothing the same day. The restaurant no longer even responds to the message and did not even recommend a nearby establishment or similar.

The resturant is now closed permanantly. When open it was a great place, very interesting unusual and a place for fun. It has been closed for months now due to the recession in Britain.

The meal was a truly exceptional experience from the moment our party of 6 arrived. The service was faultless, and our server was tirelessly patient and helpful, explaining dishes and offering advice to ensure our meal was spot on. Every well conceived dish was an adventure in flavours, with the Smoked Hispi and Lahmacun with Oklava Salad particular favourites. The restaurant was full but it made no difference to the speed of service from the open kitchen. It was refreshing to find such a professional team that made you forget there was ever such a thing as lockdown or staff shortages.

Here's a simple and natural English feedback about Sage Kitchen's coffee being great: "I stopped by Sage Kitchen the other day, and their coffee is honestly so good! It’s rich, perfectly brewed, and easily one of the best cups I’ve had in a while. Definitely worth a visit if you’re a coffee lover!"
