Halo Bar and Restaurant Islington in Islington

Excellent for Afternoons Tea. Great food. Comfortable surroundings. And helpful and friendly staff. We’ve had a lovely afternoon and we would definitely come back again. RECOMMENDED.

Beware if you make a booking here. I made a booking over a month ago for a group of friends. Today someone phoned to confirm the booking. Then this afternoon I received an automatic email saying my booking was cancelled!! This was apparently as another group booking had overridden mine. Very annoying as most other places in the vicinity are now booked up!

Well I’ll start by saying I absolutely HATED the fact that no matter what I did or where in the Resturant/Bar I was I could not find any bad or negative faults , not even one! Actually the weather was really cold and although I’m sure this establishment do not have any control over the weather I’m blaming them…… I had bought a package for a sparkling afternoon tea for two a while back initially for my ex partners birthday, however he and I decided to end the relationship before this date and so I was left with a date already booked and it had passed the date for any possibility to change. I called the restaurant on the off chance to see if I could use my witty humour to get the date changed, I was put through to a charming man known to me at this point as “the manager” I explained i couldn’t attend and knowing it’s passed the date to be changed could they be some exceptions, without any hesitation told me that was no problem for him to do that and changed the date right there, I couldn’t believe it, most places make things so difficult and here I am talking to the Hilton halo Restaurant, one of thee busiest places in Islington and he just changed it just like that. The date was set for the 24 nov , however I received a call around a week before to a very apologetic voice that I almost recognised ? It was the same manager of the restaurant. He explained that’ they had been booked for an event and not realising accidentally booked me on that day , i was absolutely fine about it and changed it for a week later he also said when we arrive a bottle of champagne would be gifted for the inconvenience, in shock once again I thanked the man and the call ended. I decided to take my auntie as my guest and met her in the lobby of the hotel and off we went to the restaurant,. We were greeted by another charming gentleman and show to our table , walking through I could feel the atmosphere it was booming with people enjoying themselves , lots of smiles were exchanged from the other customers equally as happy as I was as we walked to our seats by the gentleman , this who was going to be our waiter for the evening(overwhelmed by the whole experience I forgot to get his name however I am quite sure the fellow may have been south Asian) . After being seated my aunt and i chatted catching up on life events when our waiter brought out the most Beautiful rack of sandwiches equally just as delicious from egg mayonnaise to chicken to name a few , a big box was placed on the table and when it opened I looked in ment as I have never seen such a variety of different twinnings teas like this box had, i cheekily took one of the ginger and lemon to have at home, then came along the sparkling , the manager was notified of us arriving and introduced himself he was ev more charming in person, he even remembered my name and reminded me of our phone conversations explaining that it was him I had been speaking to at the same time holding a bottle for us. Asking how we were and making us feel so special he poured our drinks, I looked up my aunts jaw dropped towards the floor she was so taken back at the levels of finesse, I’m now actually quite sure she had her eye on the handsome fellow, he asked if there was anything else don’t hesitate to ask , so with a little embarrassment I quietly muttered is there any chance of anymore sandwiches which he clearly heard ,he said “let me see what he can do” not more than a minute later a plait came towards our table with more delicious sandwiches, my aunt and I almost finger fighting to pick our personal best. After a drained upside down bottle and 2 crumbless plates later our table was cleaned , hot water and milk jugs were delivered to our table , by the time we finished our tea another hour had past already and it was time to leave , I thanked everybody in sight for such a great experience, i have to say this has to be 1 of my top 3 experiences so far in my thirty fi…….. i mean twenty one years of life. I will 100% DEFINITELY without any doubt be dinning here again , if I could I would have given 10/5 but unfortunately there’ is no such option for this. On the way out I asked the manager his name sharing a little joke by him saying I wouldn’t remember his name well you loose COSMIN !! aka the Romanian guy , thank you for so much for such a lovely time and showing us and all your guests the real true meaning of hospitality, I will forever sing your praises …………………………………. Still searching for faults , I now think it’s time I let this one go and accept the defeat ..HAlO you win!

Afternoon tea with a selection of sandwiches were very good. The sandwiches had tasty fillings and the bread was soft. Scones were also good with the usual pot of jam and small packet of Rodda cream. There were also a selection of dainty cakes,all very tasty. Each of us had a big pot of water and there is a box of assorted tea for us to choose from. Service was very friendly and accomodating when we requested for another pot of hot water. Restaurant is clean, spacious and very relaxing.

Had a lovely afternoon, waitress was very attentive and made us feel very welcome, ensuring we were all catered for from the youngest of 7 to the eldest of 88 yrs! Would definitely return!

Love the food from here, the jack Daniels chicken pops are my absolute favourite 😄

Delivery lady was very friendly

Great tasting food that tastes fresh and was hot on delivery

Just brilliant. Shakes came beautifully made.

Was on time but not big enough for what you pay. Can get better for your money eles where shame they wasn't bigger

Food was really nice and hot the lady driver was really nice as well

As always absolutely top notch food and milkshakes from Halo... And the delivery was super fast today which pleased us.

We love their milkshakes sooooo much !

This is the 3rd time ive used Halo. Love your burgers and the family love your chicken burgers too. Always piping hot. Thumbs up from me.

Glad we tried here. The milkshakes actually taste like the chocolate you ask for. The cookie dough is amazing. Kudos dudes!

Never change the chicken and jd sauce. Always on point. Now you do the wrap... it’s like you read my mind. Can never fault this takeaway. 10/10 for us and has been for the past 5 years to be honest.

Very helpful and courteous delivery girl.

Isaac was fantastic! And very attentive, Great coffee and a beautiful outdoor seating arrangement I would recommend

Arrived quickly and order correct and tasted great!!

Always great food and fast delivery

Best shakes ever, was able to order for later and they arrived promptly and covid safe delivery too.

Well nice like 10/10 not fancy food but it jus hits different n the milkshakes r so good

Not ordered from here for a while. Food still great.

Delicious as always and very fast!

Great food quick delivery and very tasty

Order was very quick and the staff was friendly.

Always great food and great service from Halo

Always order from here, every now and then, good food on time

Never usually leave reviews but this place was lovely, delivery was early, food was nice and hot too. Burgers were very juicy and the shakes are yummy! Many thanks 😊

So yummy! My go to place for the best cookie dough and ice cream 😍🥰

Never had bad food from here, we love it! Great burgers, wraps and shakes are amazing!!

Food was delicious, piping hot and delivered earlier than stated - amazing food will certainly be ordering from here again.

Food was nice but room for improvement. Didn’t live up to what I was expecting.

Everything was perfect, esp the service. They were genuine and lovely!

I love it from here, but the food just wasn't the same this time. Had the jack daniels burger, it was so dry, had the tiniest little blob of sauce and chicken was rock solid crispy.

Much better order this time. Food was piping hot and delicious. Recommend the halloumi wrap

The food wasn’t as good as it normally is, but hopefully it’s just a one off! X

Great food as described a great meal

Love this place, the food is consistently good. Thank you

Foods great! I don’t think they know how good their milkshakes are!!! 👅😋

Everything is perfect. Never had a bad experience here. Staff are great as well

Food was delicious as usual. Love everything from Halo. Always a proper tasty treat. Delivery was ten minutes later than originally estimated, but it was peak time on Saturday night, so totally understandable. We’ll be back, again and again! 👍🏼

Food is great and the milkshakes are expensive but the best. Delivery very early which was also great.

I was very happy with the delivery I got and we all enjoyed the food.

Always get our burgers from here, tasty, hot, either on time or early delivery. Absolutely no complaints ever 😁😁

Food was nice slightly a bit too salty. Would of enjoyed it more if the burgers were warmer

Was really disappointed with yesterday’s order. It was my sons 9th birthday meal and he had chosen to have Halo’s since we can’t go to a restaurant. The meal was half an hour late and stone cold by the time it got us, plus dip was missing. I’ve tried to speak to Just Eat but it’s impossible as they are so busy.

Absolutely shocked at the portion size for the price you pay. The cheesecakes were tiny, runny and poor quality. The warm cookie were mushy and small. The milkshake was weak. I’ve had a milkshake from here before and was good but this order was completely poor. We ordered a few so we could share. So disappointed. Will not be ordering from here again.

Food was disappointing; Chicken was dry, Wraps were sweaty, Chips were cold and soggy, No sauce on the wrap. Will not be ordering again.

Great food, good portions, as ordered, on time. Definitely order again. Thank you!

I've ordered from this place since moving to Grove a year ago and honestly their service and quality is second to none the food is allways hot and delicious want to know how they make their fries tho 😋 Highley recommend to anyone

Good quality, tasty & good value

First time we have ordered, always sceptically usually the burgers are soggy and chips feel wet. Please to say the food was amazing, everything tasted fresh including the salad on the burgers and the chips was really nice. We will order again in the future and maybe have a desert treat as-well they look amazing.

Nice food best I've have had in a while

We’ve ordered shakes many times over the last few months and ordered food for the first time with this order. The quality was excellent - burgers, wings and fries all superb and delivered hot.

Great quality tasty food as always and was delivered in possibly the quickest ever time! Superb food and service!

Cookie dough was really really nice! Will deffo order again!

I just had my first burger from Halo and Ioved it it was perfect, teh beef the bun the amount of sauce. Super friendly and fast divery. Would highly recommend. Also, I believe great value for money.

Always great service, order from here all the time. Pleasant delivery drivers, lovely food, always early!

absolutely delicious cookie dough desserts, the biscoff one was sooo good. Would deffo order again

Food came really fast was cooked perfectly highly recommend

Great food as usual thank you . Even arrived early in the snowy weather

The perfect click and collect order, every time food is ready and order is correct

I've ordered from you guys since you opened and always had great service and great food! However recently you have changed your menu and stopped custom orders for some strange reason! It means rather than being able to order something with everything I want on/in it I only get a couple of choices and even when I rang to ask if I could add a few things into a wrap and burger to make it better in my opinion I was told no custom orders are allowed anymore! I used to get a wrap and add pulled pork, halloumi and a few other things. Because of this it had now put me off ordering and I sway to order from other take aways who will allow you to add ingredients to an order. Shame really as everything was always really nice!!

Second time we've ordered, burger was cold again bit dissapointed. Ice cream was lovely though

Chips were awful, all 3 portions went in the bin. Waste of money, shame as the burgers were nice.

This was the 3rd time ordering from here recently, as the food was that nice and enjoyable and would definitely recommend 5*

My favourite burger; never disappoints. Service & delivery are excellent - thank you 😍👍🏻👍🏻

Good burger, fries and shake delivered impossibly quickly. Can’t say fairer than that!

Another great delivery from Halo...Nice variety on menu and quality ingredients.

Soooo good. Milkshakes are thick and proper tasty

Amazing. Would never go anywhere else for shakes now! Highly recommend jd chicken pops!

Came early and the food was nice but you know you had one last night lol😂... I shat everywhere

Always great food, always piping hot and usually over 20 minutes early - even on a Saturday night! Definitely our go-to choice of take away in Stockport!

Food was delivered early, all tasted amazing and good quality. Highly recommend the Oreo milkshake 🤤

Yet another great burger from Halo ... will be back for more 😋

My new guilt pleasure! Will definitely be ordering again.

Always a good call, never disappointed 😊 love the jack daniel sauce too!

Wow, lovely meal, will definitely be ordering from here again. We took a chance on something else (after ordering the same two things all the time from other places) and these guys didn’t disappoint! Milkshakes were just to die for. Well played, will be back here soon

Faultless. Delicious food, excellent service, delivered a little early. Delivery man was friendly and polite. Exactly what we needed on the Friday night of a tiring week.

Food was absolutely lovely! Burger was juicy, sweat potato fries were a bit limp but tasted nice. Cookie dough cheesecake was surprisingly delicious. I'll definitely be ordering again!

Cold ,dry, simply not worth the money!

Warm cookie dough, ice cream, cookie dough milkshake... it’s like someone jumped into my brain, searched for the best dessert, made it and sold it to me! Glorious thick milkshake, and what’s that? Ooooo cheeky Oreo stick in there! And the options! I had flake and choc sauce, with cookies and cream ice cream (had a bit of theme going). Halo is taking dessert science to a new level! Then you tell me that’s going to arrive early? Just eat? They’ve completed it

Didn’t get my “extra” I ordered and paid for but 🤷‍♀️

If I could leave a 10 star review I would ⭐️! Absolutely amazing ! I’ve never had a bad meal from Halo and safe to say it’s the best takeaway I’ve ever eaten. Every time I’ve ordered the food it either comes early or bang on time which is fantastic, also the food comes red hot and tastes to die for. Massive thank you to the lovely lady that bakes those delicious homemade Cornflake Tarts, I could eat that all day 😍. Also a huge thank you to everyone at Halo for such great service and food. You guys are amazing 🤩🌟

T'was very good, and filled my tum-tum. Much delish. Also, shake very chonky. Yummy-wummy in ma tummy. Thank you.

Burger, wrap and dessert all perfect as usual (JD sauce on this menu is TGI's style (I worked there and have never found anywhere else that does it), chips today were not as good as usual, but eaten from here several times and they are usually perfect! Would definitely recommend for a lock down 'Friday's' style dins at home - all you need to do is make a massive cocktail to go with!

Great food and really quick delivery!

Amazing place, gorgeous burgers, they don't scrimp on anything. Cookie dough/ice cream is delicious.

Tasty food, fast service and reasonably priced. What’s not to like?

Lovely delivery driver and with it being a big order I was expecting some slight mess ups but no concerns what so ever! Was delicious and loved it, will definitely be ordering again without a doubt

Normally cant fault the food and service from here but tonight wasn't great was late delivering food was 30mins later than expected and was cold when arrived....

Amazing as always. Best place in Stockport for milkshakes and various desserts!

With great tasty food and quick service

This was the second time I've ordered from Halo, Hazel Grove, last time when they said the food was ready it wasn't, I had to wait 15mins, today I turned up five minutes later than advised, again had to wait. And they tried to explain "everyone turns up late" I appreciate this must be frustrating but if ppl turn up late then they need to accept their food maybe cold. The curly fries had so much salt on them I had to bin them, they were way overdone, maybe this is why they put so much salt on them, people are capable of salting their own fries, what about ppl with blood pressure conditions, dont salt ppls fries without asking. I also got onion rings they were soaking in oil and I'm not sure how fresh it was, again in the bin. I also got a wrap and that was pretty tasty. Needless to say I won't be returning 2 stars out of five, just eat does not help the situation as you dont talk to the ppl.

Don’t get enough for what you pay for

We only ordered cold items. The shakes and ice creams are amazing! Will definitely order again

Lovely Food, would definitely will be buying again!

As always, great shakes and food. Those chicken pops with the jd sauce... damnnnnn so good.

Arrived early, hot and so tasty. Excellent service
