Megan's at the Sorting Office (Islington) in Islington

Recommend the brunch was super good!! Bhavi and the manager were great, it's always hard to manage a big birthday group of 12 but they did great!!

I have been coming to this Megan’s branch on and off for a few years as it’s super close to my flat and a great place to work. During and immediately after Covid it was amazing - great food, including lovely deli-style lunch options, great service, great management. It then got pretty bad, with flavourless dishes cooked poorly and extremely slow service. It has more recently picked up again, which is fab, although today I had been a bit disappointed. The bacon Megan’s uses these days is so thick cut and there’s so much fat it’s really not appetising to look at and doesn’t have much flavour, and on this occasion there was so little meat (pretty much solely fat) that I actually couldn’t eat it! Being served a dish that you need to use a knife and fork for on a wonky metal tray with paper under the food also felt very canteen-like - the paper inevitably gets broken up and in your food and the tray makes the dish look cheap so I hope they go back to using plates! I was similarly disappointed to find that they were out of decaf coffee today and also now only have one dairy free cake option (the old pumpkin and coconut loaf was AMAZING but that has gone). Finally, this branch is always insanely hot inside so I really hope they can do something about this, as well as please fix the dead plug socket at the table behind the entrance that hasn’t worked for literally years…! However, despite these niggles I’m still giving four stars because while I was still there a manager saw my review and came over to chat about the feedback. I feel genuinely confident they will take it in board and are committed to getting the branch back up to the standard it used to be :-)

Greta service, had such a lovely brunch!

Bhavi was great - super attentive and sweet. I would highly recommend the 2 person sharing brunch platter - great variety and tasty food! Good portion size too Venue is very nice too

Great brunch! Came for my boyfriend’s birthday with 12ish people. Great food, bottomless mimosa and great vibes

Bhavi is the best waitress I’ve ever had. Ever. In any restaurant ever. She is amazing. I love her.

Bottomless Brunch - best experience!! Great drinks, great food and best service from lovely Nada ♥️

Best mimosa🥂, amazing food, great vibe. Must do in London! Pass by and say hello to Nada💕

It was the best bottomless brunch in London. Nada made our day. Thanks and cheers ✨

Saurav was extremely attentive and made sure everyone’s order was correct.

Best bottomless brunch - absolutely go for the passionfruit bellini ✌🏼

Lovely food and great atmosphere. The staff were fantastic with our 10 month old baby and Saurav who served us was fantastic. Definitely recommend it for a weekend brunch.

Simply amazing! Absolutely perfect experience for my first bottomless brunch ♥️ Service perfect, food great, atmosphere amazing! Any time again - fun and a good time guaranteed!

Nada and the team did great job! Can’t wait to celebrate my birthday party once again here! 🥂🙏

Great food and superb service Nada was great

Great service and great food - would definitely come back again!

Nada was excellent. We had a great time for 9 of us. Good service and food and drinks were great 😊

Wonderful spot in Islington, stunning airy interior, great vibes, delicious food and friendly staff - what more could one ask for! I ordered the vegan brunch with hash browns, so flavoursome and fresh - didn’t feel super heavy and full after finishing this, just extremely content. Our waitress Nada was an absolute joy and honestly elevated the whole experience with her kind, friendly and fantastic energy, going above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied - thanks very much Nada you made our day 😊 100% will be coming back!

Had the loveliest birthday brunch here - thank you!!

I came with my sister and had the baked seabass, which was delicious. The restaurant looks great, and Leandro was very kind. His service made our dining experience great.

Amazing experience! Perfect for birthday celebrations 💫

Excellent all-day brunch choices and Turkish-inspired main plates. I recommend the Lamb Open Kebab made with slow-cooked lamb shoulder and the mezze bowl. Very dog and kid-friendly, friendly and attentive service.

Leo and Nada were soooo amazing!!! Made a great vibe and great atmosphere. Loved our bottomless brunch and food 10/10!

Nada was fantastic! Great hosting, very accommodating and helpful. Would make me visit this place again!!

Great service from Amal, Lenndro and Nada

I recently visited Megan’s and had the best experience. From the food to the customer service (special shout out to Leandro) everything was 10/10. Couldn’t recommend enough!! will definitely be coming back.

I was very happy with service from Leandro he was very polite and helpful

Food was great and very aesthetic interior of the restaurant! We were served by Nada, Amal and Leandro who were all lovely and welcoming. 10/10

I recently dined at Megan’s Islington restaurant where Leandro’s service was exceptional. He made us feel welcome right away. The highlight was definitely Megan's mezze—delicious and bursting with flavors! The generous portions and quality made it great value for money. Overall, a memorable experience that I highly recommend!

The food was very aromatic and fresh. The mushroom was full of flavours and leandro made us feel welcomed.

Leandro was amazing and he made us feel welcomed and the food was amazing. He took the service to another level of ease.

Calm atmosphere. Leandro was amazing and he handled us with atmost care. The mushroom platter was the highlight of our meal.

I had a wonderful experience at Megan's Islington, and the highlight was the outstanding service from Leandro. He was attentive, friendly, and gave great recommendations, especially the posh lamb, which was amazing. The food and atmosphere were perfect, and I’ll definitely be returning!

Just discovered this hidden gem near Angel, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer! The food is so flavorful and fresh, I couldn't get enough of their hummus and falafel. Plus, the service was on point - super friendly vibes and great recommendations from the staff. Their shakes are absolute perfection. A must-visit spot for all you foodies out there!

Had a company brunch with colleagues at Megan’s, and it was fantastic! The food was fresh and delicious, the service was friendly, and their drinks were out of this world. Will definitely be back for a bottomless Prosecco next time 💙

Our waiter Bhavi was amazing - such a sweet presence, always a smile on her face and very attentive!

Lovely location and great service. A Little Oasis in Islington. The chocolate brownie was fantastic, and the wine was cold. Simple and beautiful.

I had brunch at Megan's on Monday. It was incredible! The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. The food was delicious and they were mindful of my allergies which I really appreciated. I also loved the lighting, Taylor Swift music, and rainy-day vibes outside the window. I look forward to returning!

Saurav gave us an excellent experience and service. Will definitely returning because of his service

Great dining experience. Food was delightful and staff were very kind and polite.

Lovely food and drinks, fab vegan options too. Saurav was amazing with the service.

Saurav was extremely helpful and service immaculate! Very pleasant too. Tell him I said thank you! Definitely coming back with my BFF 💖

I came on Saturday and I loved the place even if there was a crowd we were taking care of by our lovely waitress nada she kept a good eye on me and my friend (at some point I was even clinging to her😅) , the food and drinks were delicious 10/10 and I would definitely recommend especially if she is your waitress.

Lovely warm spot for brunch in the winter. Delicious food!

We visited this place today (Saturday), and despite the crowd, we received our food surprisingly quickly. Every dish was delicious, fresh, and carefully prepared. The staff was very friendly, which added to the great atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back – it’s a place worth visiting!

I stopped by for lunch on Friday, and even though it was quite busy, the food came out quicker than expected. Every dish was fresh and full of flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Amazing! Our service Bhavi as brilliant. Very attentive. The atmosphere was great and we had an incredible time than you!

Delightful little place tucked behind Islington Square. Service was very friendly!

Great food and service, lovely local restaurant with plenty of space

Staff was so so nice! Will deffo come again

Really phenomenal espresso martini and hummus plus phenomenal atmosphere, but the server and manager were extremely rude and aggressive. Wanted to love this place but just can’t with the way we were treated.

Leo and Nada were fantastic, exemplary service! Would 100% recommend!

I had a great time here and I was served by Leandro who was amazing. He was very respectful and was very attentive my entire time there. Some of the best service I have gotten from being in a restaurant. Will definitely be returning.

Came here for my anniversary and loved it. The atmosphere was prefect , food was amazing and our lovely waitress Nada was very attentive, recommending us the perfect drinks. Had a great evening

Amazing service ! Nada was amazing

The food was okay, nothing special. The waitress Nada was very friendly and welcoming! Delivered great customer service.

The food was so great and Nada was so helpful, she helped us with the menu

Just had a lovely experience at this restaurant. I was served by a lovely young lady called Nada, her service was impeccable. I definitely will return. Very happy with the service. The food was also amazing.

It was my my birthday and my eldest daughter treated me to dinner here. The decor of the restaurant is beautiful and the the dim lights set a lovely evening mood. The cocktails were very good and clearly of high quality. The same could also be said for the food I especially enjoyed the lamb kebab and warm brownie which I received with a candle from our lovely waitress Nada. She was the star of the evening as she made amazing suggestions and made my evening with my daughter that more special which I’m very thankful for. The manager who served us on shift was also great however I did not catch his name. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone and I will definitely be back more regularly.

while it’s such a cute restaurant the service here was unbelievably slow. we just ordered a few drinks and it took over a half hour for each round to get here. they kept apologizing and yet we were one of 3 parties in the restaurant on a monday so it’s not like it’s busy. very disappointed!

Bitter coffee, slow considering the simple order. Poached eggs were overcooked. Portion small. Little attention from servers

Great experience at Islington branch. Saurav was friendly,helpful and patient with us. We wish him a lot of success.

Food was solid, service excellent.

We visited Megan's on a Sunday just after midday for Brunch. We won't be returning. It was a poor experience from start to finish. It took us ages to be allocated a table, despite pre-booking. When we did sit down and order, we asked for some tap water. It never arrived. When the food arrived, it was both poor quality and missing items. I had Eggs Benedict. The toast was thin and small and the eggs overcooked to the point of they may as well have been hard boiled! My partner had the vegan brunch but it came without the tomatoes or avocado as was described on the menu. When I questioned this, we were brought some tomatoes on a side dish but were told they'd run out of avacado. This was not advised when the item was ordered. Instead, the plate arrived with what can only be described as cheap and nasty tater tots in place of the avocado. Despite questioning this, no further action was offered or taken. Whilst waiting for the table to be cleared, which took a while, two tables nearby were asked to leave as they had paid their bills. There were plenty of other empty tables within the restaurant. In short, food was poor and overpriced, service was iffy at best and it was a poor experience. We won't be returning. The two stars are awarded as the restaurant itself has a nice ambience and the staff were polite, despite not being all that good at the service element!

Mohammed provided excellent service!

Unfortunately the food wasn’t great (really bland so we had to send it back). However, it was well presented along-with the decor of the restaurant. The coffee and service was fab though. All thanks to Mickell.

Absolutely delicious food, stunning decoration and really friendly service. Will be coming back soon!

Nada was amazing, polite, funny gorgeous, thank you

Hi all, i had a good experience with the food at Megan’s, and the service was great too. Many thanks for your help Leandro, keep it up!

Lovely place to have brunch or work from. Very attentive and lovely staffs!

Context - review is reflective of a busy weekend morning period. The staff were very friendly but service took quite a while so food did arrive cold, but the flavours were still nice. The brunch portions were also very small for the prices that they were. Hot chocolate with a giant toasted marshmallow was listed on the menu, but what arrived was an untoasted, rock hard stale marshmallow that was the standard size you get in a bag from the supermarket, which given it was £4 was disappointing. I would go back again but probably not at the sort of very busy time we did as I expect this was the reason why we encountered problems.

I was surprised by the overwhelmingly positive reviews. To be honest, I found the food subpar. I tried to remain objective and sampled 2-3 dishes, but unfortunately, none of them came close to being authentic. The dessert, however, was quite good, which was a relief, but overall, the food was disappointing. Portion sizes were also small and not worth the price. That said, ambience is aided by lighting and decor, but lack of crowd & vibe on a Friday night is let down. The service was just okay—nothing exceptional to mention, in fact they try to push for ordering add ons without intimating about the additional charge Overall not a place I would recommend in London

We had brunch here.. Amazing in all aspects of delivery..

Thank you Nada you have been amazing .. It’s my first time here in the restaurant it was great with a beautiful bohemian decoration.. the food come quick and was very tasty .. definitely will come back again

we came for my friends birthdays and it was such an excellent experience. The food was lovely and came quickly. Pretty place and nice atmosphere. Leo and Mike were great hosts. Very grateful !! Will defo be back

I had a very disappointing experience at Megan's at the Sorting Office. I came for a quick lunch with my newborn and waited 10 minutes holding my baby, but the staff made no effort to seat me. When I finally ordered, the seabass was flavorless and overpriced at £19.90. I wasn’t even given a menu until much later, so I couldn’t order a drink. To make matters worse, I arrived home to find I had been overcharged by £10. After discussing it with Tilly, I learned I was charged for fries that I never ordered or ate. Despite having video evidence of my meal, I still haven’t received a refund. This experience was incredibly frustrating and felt like a case of fraud. Shame on them taking money from a mother on maternity leave.

Absolutely delicious food, full of flavour! I love their brunch dishes, Shakshuka & pancakes but the kebabs are amazing too! The loveliest, friendly staff, the place is so pretty and I love how kid and dog friendly it is! Such a good kids menu!

Mike was amazing! Great service

Excellent ambience and great food. I have eaten here twice before and would highly recommend it both at lunchtime and in the evening.

Stunning restaurant, with excellent service, and happy hour cocktails at a great price! The staff are welcoming and it's so great that the restaurant is so dog friendly, accommodating our little doggy with a dog bed, food, and water! Will definitely come back.

Great atmosphere. Great food and great service. A very lovely venue to enjoy brunch with friends. Literally everything on the menu looked great. We had such a good visit and look forward to coming again. Highly recommended.

Was part of a large group and the staff were great and food was delicious! Nice vibes.

Nice food, but took a while to be served after being seated. And then had to ask 2-3 times before things like water and orange juice got brought to the table. Saw a few people leave because it took so long to get served. It was pretty empty with like 10 tables occupied in the whole restaurant. Seems like the rest of the waiters/managers just left most things to this one nice waitress while they stayed on their phones.

I absolutely LOVE Megan's, and this is my favourite of their branches in London. The restaurant is so cute and the food is always absolutely amazing. Really like their happy hour and night cap offers as well. The staff are always so so helpful and friendly, I really can't fault how nice they are.

Excellent venue for easy going atmosphere and a good pre-Kings Head Theatre supper...would work well for after-show too. Good choice of smaller or larger dishes. Plenty of seating inside and outside.

Very good food and atmosphere. Leandro was a great server and made sure that we were happy throughout. Thank you

Thank you to Leandro for his wonderful hospitality. We will be back again. The food and ambiance was great.

Great service from the team for my visit on 11 Aug at 5pm! The staff were all super friendly and helpful and the food was STUNNING. Definitely will be coming again, and highly recommend their cookie dough skillet

We had a good time and the food was nice…it was my first time here! It was my Birthday celebration with my friend and when our server Saffron found out, she went the extra mile and served us a dessert on the house and even light a candle on it for me! This really made our visit different and I really want to shout out and celebrate this, since she only found out after we started talking and I was paying for the bill, so she didn’t really have to and I was not really expecting it! Thanks Saffron for making my experience different: I hope the establishment will read this review and reward her and her extra mile attitude 😊😊😊

I am writing to express my disappointment with the dining experience my companions and I had at Megan restaurant in Islington on Friday, 9th August. As a local resident who has frequented many of the restaurants in the area, I was looking forward to trying your establishment. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of our expectations. We ordered the Falafel Bowl, Large Calamari, and Lamb Doner. To our dismay, the portions were surprisingly small given the price. Additionally, the Lamb Doner did not resemble a traditional doner at all and was more akin to a tagine dish. This was quite misleading and not what we anticipated when placing our order. Moreover, the service we received was disappointing. The staff members were notably rude, which only added to our frustration. To make matters worse, the Aperol we ordered had an almost negligible taste of alcohol, which was another letdown. Overall, the entire experience left us feeling as though we had been cheated, and it was far from the standard we expect from a restaurant in this area. I believe this kind of service and quality is unacceptable, especially in a neighborhood known for its high standarts. I hope you take this feedback seriously and make the necessary changes to ensure better experiences for your future customers

Beautiful restaurant with a very comprehensive menu too! Had a delicious breakfast here during my travels to London and wanted to give a shout out to Bahvi, who was so fantastic! She really made me feel comfortable and made my dining experience so pleasurable! I hope she gets the recognition she deserves. Highly recommend if you are in the neighborhood! Delicious food and beautiful ambiance.

Beautiful venue, delicious food and amazing service! One of the waiters found it was our friends birthday and within 5 minutes the music changed and they brought a mini cake and candle. They also gave us all our desserts on the house, it was such a lovely surprise. I highly recommend and would go back again.

Extraordinary good food at fair prices! I would go again...

Check your bills in this. It is unfortunate that the service on a Friday evening in the sun is quite poor. This was the emptiest restaurant in the square and no wonder with sloppy staff. And then they overcharged me !

So disappointing, paid £22 for a burrata bowl + falafel and it was so overpriced... Yes, there was a burrata and 3 tiny dry pieces of falafel, but the rest was just shredded lettuce. Literally counted 4 quarters of a cherry tomato and a few slices of cucumber 😂 absolutely not worth the price, you could get a proper meal and a drink for this price elsewhere, but I left hungry.

This was my second time at this restaurant and both have been underwhelming. Whilst the decor is on point for Insta, the service is incredibly laid back, to be polite. I'm not one for staff fussing around but it took ages to be seated, the table hadn't been cleaned even though it was pretty deserted, which didn't bode well in itself, and out plates were also not cleared away. No up selling was offered by way of dessert or coffee. Yet of course a service charge is auto added. I'd excuse all that if the food was exceptional but it isn't. There was no finesse, and the portions almost too big. I won't be returning here.

Megan's Islington has a £5 cocktail hour, which is great EXCEPT they offer ZERO non-alcoholic options. I found that absolutely ridiculous as we went to have dinner and to go through the cocktail menu. I was extremely disappointed that non drinkers were not catered for. The food was okay, nothing spectacular, I had higher hopes for this establishment. As they can't be bothered to cater for non-drinkers I won't be returning here.

Really enjoyable visit. Had lunch with my friend and then stayed on to complete some work afterwards. Was lovely to sit on the terrace in the sunshine.

lovely staff, lovely food & very very pretty

Older by far than most of the clientele that evening, we sat outside on the terrace with a wine and beer and shared a wonderful (and huge!) mixed mezze for two and managed to eat almost all of it. How we managed to walk home afterwards we don’t know but we did! Charming waiters and a great ambience.
