While at QMUL, I toured London many times. Then one day, I decided to take the red and the black line to the northern district of the city and then, finally saw the Maiden's Tower! At that time, it was already 7.30pm and dark too! But no big deal, still saw the magnificent looking tower shines in the distance...truly an artwork!

I am not Turkish, but I love Turkish food, and have been to some amazing Turkish restaurants in London, but this one is HORRIBLE. You can always tell the quality of a restaurant by the cleanliness of its toilets, and the ones here are terribly unclean. The waiter was very very friendly and helpful, but he was only drafted in on short notice and didnt work there before. The food was so bad all turkish people should be ashamed of Maidens Tower. I could tell the oil was cheap and nasty, and there was so much of it in my food that I felt like puking. The meat was badly marinated and cooked, so bland. The humous was poor, the iskander was poor, the sujuk was poor, HOW CAN A TURKISH PLACE HAVE BAD HUMOUS AND ISKANDER, FIX YOURSELVES UP OR DONT CALL YOURSELVES TURKISH.

I have been at this small restaurant together with some friends and we haven't been so happy about it. We went there twice, having different dishes and we have noticed the following: - the service is a bit clumsy, sometimes they forget to prepare your dish, they aren't proactive and do not notice you asking to order something; - their menu is messy: they often don't have wines or desserts written there; - the food is actually not bad, decently prepared and served, although there are still better turkish restaurant in London; - mixed grill dishes are not worth their higher price as they are mainly composed by chicken wings; - despite of the previous point, the average price for a meal is quite low and you can have a good meal even with a low budget, as the portions are quite massive.

Como local pensé en probar Jolene para tomar café y un pastel. Error - en primer lugar, tienen un sistema extraño donde tienes que hacer cola afuera para ordenar (incluso si planeas comer dentro). Tomas un plato si comes y tratas de identificar los pasteles: las señales son difíciles de leer en la iluminación y algunas giran en el sentido equivocado. Elegí un croissant simple. Tuve la osadía de pedir mantequilla. Respuesta” no hacemos mantequilla”. Señalé los productos horneados y los panes y les pregunté si honestamente podían decirme que no había mantequilla. Después de mucho suspirar en nombre del personal, ella aceptó “tratar de encontrar un poco de mantequilla” y me senté. Esperé tanto tiempo por mi café que pensé que debí equivocarme con el sistema. Cuando llegó - era tibia y débil. El croissant era normal, pero tener que discutir por un pequeño trozo de mantequilla le quitó la alegría. ¡Sólo me pregunto qué horror podría haber provocado si hubiera pedido mermelada! Ambiente frío estéril - un montón de ordenadores portátiles. Me sentí más como un espacio de oficina alquilado. No me quedé - y no volveré. Hay lugares mucho mejores muy cerca, así que mi consejo es que lleves tu personalización allí.

Este solía ser uno de los favoritos de la familia, pero la experiencia de anoche fue decepcionante. El servicio era increíblemente lento y amateur y la comida pobre. Tenía los puerros en queso ahumado con nueces como entrada, el plato venía rayado de cebra con vinagre balsámico lo que significaba que no había posibilidad de probar el queso. Había pocas nueces, pero muchos fragmentos duros en el interior de la cáscara de nuez. Los puerros estaban cocidos pero fríos e increíblemente duros y tiesos, en general desagradables. Mi siguiente plato fueron los garbanzos con acelgas arcoíris, me habían informado media hora después de pedirlo que no tenían el gurnard anunciado. La acelga era como el puerro, fría, dura y cuerda y los garbanzos eran solo una masa de baba húmeda con sabor vagamente a pimentón.

Central Station is an LGBT friendly pub with rooms to stay upstairs, Fridays and Saturdays in the bar are fantastic, the karaoke on both those nights with the DJ Chris Reardon is legendary, it’s hilarious and such a great night. Me and my friends always love it. Iconic !!!

I am a local living in Finsbury Park & I been eating in the restaurant for many years & I love the food because its home cooked with best quality produce . This restaurant has a big local following especially on match days when Arsenal are playing at home !!! Uncle Bulgaria aka George knows how to produce top quality food at a reasonable price hence the reason us locals keep returning !!! The homemade goulash is the best you will find anywhere this side of Budapest!!! The quality of the meat has to be noted as you will not find a better sirloin steak in London town for the price & the home cut chips are cooked to perfection!!! I love the place as it has a friendly atmosphere & good food !!!!

Been to Gem quite a few times over the years and they never failed to deliver excellent food and excellent service with decent prices. The latest visit just confirmed this. Great selection of generously sized dishes kept our group busy and happy on a budget! Highly recommend. Check it out online.
