Mums Bistro in Haringey

The owner is one of the friendliest people I have ever met! The restaurant has a lovely cozy vibe and the menu caters to most tastes. I had a vegan meal which was super tasty and the amount of food was very generous. I will definitely go back again!

amazing atmosphere, felt like i was transported back to greece. friendliness and familiarity like nowhere else in london. truly such a wholesome and nice place, it warmed my heart to be in the presence of the owner, he is the sweetest man ever

Food is very good Karaoke is nice

saturday nights are greek night at this place. i had a good enjoyable night to see in the new year at this place 2024. meze is available which was ok. the live greek music was good. alcohol is very cheap here also. all in all a good new years eve. there is space for all you greek show offs to do your dancing.

Waiter/manager/maitre d or whatever his role is not able to do his job sadly - disorganised, couldn’t listen to requests, and then shouted at one of our party because they queried something about the food - kept shouting silencing the whole restaurant no apology , just then served by a sullen waitress. We had to ask for water, ask for wine glasses. They were overstretched and disorganised Never returning although food was good.

Great local restaurant with delicious, straightforward food and an excellent folk music night!

I've lived near here for years, we were walking past when Roger dragged us in... A quick drink we thought. Countless drinks, getting up to sing karaoke multiple times and dancing till the early hours followed. This place is magical, you feel part of the family, not only a great evening but an escape from London itself

Exactly as I imagined it to be 💕 A Greek 💯 Authentic experience 💖 Thank you Mums Kitchen... And we will definitely 💯 be back😁

You feel welcome Very friendly staff food excellent quality and reasonable also good entertainment Friday and Saturday

An amazing place First time here The owner and staff were so lovely and treated us like family The food was excellent and so reasonable The singer was great The atmosphere was relaxing and friendly I recommend this wonderful restaurant We will be back again Thank you so much 5 stars

Overpriced, crowded and overall nothing good about it. I waited over an hour for my main, it came out cold, dry and tough. (Chicken shish)

Incredibly tasty Greek food. The family who own it are absolutely lovely. Kids loved it too. Highly recommended!

Excellent food and service. Really friendly staff who take pride in their food and service and go out of their way to look after customers.

When we arrived the door was closed and we thought they wouldn't serve and then a guy showed up and opened the door for us. It was a bit weird. Then we came in and tried to find something to eat. My friend was vegan and we could not find anything for her on the menu although the Greek cuisine has a variety of vegan options. After we ordered the same guy kept coming to ask if we wanted to drink something or eat any dessert. We quickly ate and left.

Very close to the train station. A classic club of Greek origin, where you can listen to live music and singers. I tried some chicken and pork mix with rice plus another mushroom dish, a fresh watermelon and a cider. The cooking of the dish was perfect, the quality of the ingredients excellent. A very friendly environment.

This place really is a little gem. Great food and even better service. Quite surprising as we walked in looking around was like a throwback to a badly decorated restaurant back in the 80’s. The owners waist coat to match the decor and some rather outlandish guests. What a place! I’ll be back for the live music and food!

Good food, great vibe and live music. Very welcoming, can't wait to go back!

First time here , great place, the staff the owner were really lovely, it was a big family. Recommend it to anyone. Will definitely be back. The singer is great too, he got everyone to get up and sing and dance. Brilliant night!!!!

Never had such good food or service if you get a chance you must go there you won't be disappointed. Can't wait to go back what a gem

Food was rubbish pasta white sauce and mince no flavour and mediocre won't be going back. Neither should you. Disappointing

Greek soul food had aunties wake hear the food was fabulous far too much big thumbs 👍👍👍 Definitely recommend.

Went in for a too good to go bag, came out feeling such warm from the kindness of this family, the older man in particular what a lovely guy! Also the food is lovely home cooked style, will definitely visit again when I’m next in London!

Great little family run taverna hosting the awesome Bowes Park folk club 2nd Thursday of the month

Unique atmosphere that you're not sure will work but it does. A little gem

Super friendly and lovely, warm people. Great atmosphere and great fun!

We went there on a Saturday night with friends and family to celebrate my birthday. It was absolutely amazing. The live Greek band were outstanding. Meze was excellent and plentiful. We danced until the early hours. This place is like a Cyprus taverna, home from home. The owner is so very hospital and friendly. Every single one of the 22 people in my party had a great time, thoroughly enjoyed the meze which was plentiful and loved the live band. I would definitely recommend and would definitely go again. Very family friendly. I cannot praise it enough. The atmosphere is wonderful!

We never ate there but one evening last month we were told to go and wait there, which we did the staff and the owners made us feel part of their family, looking at the meals on other tables was making all three of us very hungry, so much we agreed that we would go back, but while we were there the mother came and asked if we were OK and pointed to her boys and her husband, yes we will go back.

Five of us visited for Sunday lunch. We had a lovely meal of meze and could not believe the amount of food that kept on coming and coming. Portions were huge, extremely tasty and clearly home-made. We were treated like honoured guests by the charming host and hostess who made us feel extremely welcome, as though in their own home. As the token vegetarian, I was treated with complete courtesy and given my own portion of a spectacularly good vegetable moussaka. “Mum” spent a good few minutes with me, at my request, after the meal, explaining her chef’s tips. Our host was genial and delightful, too. The bill was ridiculously cheap, given the number and size of the portions and the various drinks. We took away the remainder of the food, at our host’s request. He hates to see anything go to waste. There was enough for another good lunch for two. We shall be back. I’m looking forward to it again, already.

The owner and staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was fresh and delicious I will definitely go back there again.

Great night and friendly atmosphere Lovely food too Thank you.

Very nice friendly atmosphere, I visited on a few Friday with karaoke 🎤 Roger was a brilliant singer food was amazing my boyfriend proposed to me they made the whole experience beyond perfect with Greek romantic music

Fantastic experience very friendly great atmosphere I proposed to my girlfriend which they made the experience even more special that we will never regret differently will be going back

last week, we went as a group of 12 to Mums Bistro. The place was bussing with other couples, a couple of singles and another group of people. The members of staff were very polite, with genuine smiles on their faces. The 2 chef's visited us during the meal to see if we needed anything extra or if everything was ok. I'm half Cypriot Greek and the food was exactly as my grandmother used to make - absolutely deliciously superb and all home made. Apparently they have Karaoke and belly dancing nights but we only had Greek music The quantities were huge and some of us had 'doggie bags' when we left. Mums was inexpensive and definitely value for money. I am looking forward to my next visit. I highly recommend it.

A very pleasant, understated, cozy place. We had a warm welcome and the owner took care of every guest. The food was very tasty, tasty, served in sufficient quantities and at the right temperature. We found this place by chance, but I recommend it to everyone who is in the area. Thank you !

Lovely welcoming people family atmosphere and fun karaoke,go see for yourself 😊

Authentic, delicious, best rice ever! Feels like a friendly, charming, family-run place.

Apparently this is a meat dish. £10 worth of food from Too Good to Go. Literally half a chicken WING is in there. HALF a chicken WING . It’s just an insult. Stone cold too. Straight out of the fridge. What are they thinking. I wanted to test their food, thinking of doing a family function there. No chance now. Very silly thing to do. HALF A WING!!!!

I went to collect 2 meals from them, while waiting the owner offered me a free glass of juice, very friendly staff and vibrant atmosphere.

The atmosphere is brilliant. Very fun and welcoming staff. I had sea bass and it was easily the best cooked of fish I had in a while. Highly recommended. P. S: IF you visit it on weekend, there is normally open mic day

Thanks for having us even I it was late Genuine and authentic all of you and your delicious recipes Support the local businesses always Riccardo Yuli and Athena from La Bottega Myddleton Road

Warm, welcoming family run restaurant - beautifully prepared favourites and proper Greek BBQ - the ingredients are so fresh (even the squid rings are from fresh!) and the flavours are so authentic - such a vibrant lovely local. They have live music on weekends too!

The BEST Greek restaurant around! LOVE the food, excellent value for money, and the staff are warm, friendly, lovely and kind! I’m never disappointed when I visit Mum’s Bistro! I’ve been a long standing customer and won’t go to any other Greek restaurants as this is the BEST!

Amazing food and service. Friendly atmosphere.

Right place, right time at Mum's Bistro 🌻

Πολύ καλό φαγητό κι ευχάριστο περιβάλλον

A warm welcome and wonderful, authentic Greek cuisine. There's no pictures as the food was too delicious to waste time taking photos!

The moment I walked into Mum's Bistro I could feel the warm and festive atmosphere, and knew I had come to a special place. The cosy room was filled with happy conversation, and the kind of  gentle and all-inclusive buzz that one feels when joining a family gathering. It was a cold night, and the slightly exotic, inviting smell of delicious food was a balm to my senses. I had come to Mum's for an evening of music, dished up by one of the very best folk organizations in London - The Bowes Park Folk Club. I was told to order my supper at the bar, and when I met the charming patron and his wife, the whole picture came together. Mum's Bistro is clearly a place where food is cooked and served with expertise, joy and love. No wonder it tasted absolutely delicious. Mums' Bistro is more than a wonderful restaurant - it's a complete experience, not to be missed.

Home from Home. Karaoke and proper Cypriot food what more could you want?! Atmosphere is great and staff are lovely Really really enjoyable evening

We visited this hidden gem today & enjoyed it so much! The food was delicious the service was great very friendly! Would highly re recommend it & would happily go back again…

The food is simple and nice, wine is rich and pleasant; perfect chicken and lamb, exactly what one would expect from a dish made at home with kind hands. The bistro owners - a wonderful married couple, and their bar man are very good people, they went out of their way to make the experience of being in the bistro personal and happy. It felt like being a part of a large Cypriot family. Definitely coming back.

Nice place. Wery friendly staff

Brilliant. Went with my wife tonight (Saturday 20th November) and it was Greek night and it was honestly better than all the times I've been to Cyprus and the Greek Islands. Live Greek music, great food, Greek Cypriot crowd with the ladies dancing and cheap to boot. Meze for two with soft drinks and Keo beers =£64. My double Ouzo and lemonade was on the house. Better than the local competition. Recommended absolutely.

Lovely homely feel and good food. Just the decor that needs updating.

The owners are lovely people and the food was amazing! Thank you

The place last night was rubbish.

Amazing restaurant, feels like I was in Cyprus and excellent food.

Yes it's a local business, they are friendly, and were supposed to support it, but the food is reheated and bland and the whole place is tired so I won't be visiting again.

I love that place. Nice food, friendly people, highly recommend.

Wonderful Cypriot style cooking at it's best. Mum greets you when you arrive and does the business with all her home cook dishes. Staff, service and entertainment excellent.

Most dishes are good and I like the selection. They often have entertainment too. I go there for meals, or just a drink and snack.

They're very lovely people, and it's clearly a fun venue for retirees. The food is cafeteria quality. Uninspiring. I did sample it through Too Good To Go, so it isn't the best the restaurant has to offer, however, it definitely wasn't good. I feel sorry, because they were really nice, and tried to accommodate, but I wouldn't recommend this restaurant if you're interested in the quality of your food. Also, they use Styrofoam packaging. I am sure if you bring your own Tupperware they'll be happy to use that instead.

The best place in London to eat Greek food. An atmosphere and ambience like no other. At mum's you're one of the family.

So many in a family, so difficult to please everyone. Mum's Bistro hit the spot. All enjoyed, all want to go back.

I came here to collect an order from "togoodtogo". From the moment my wife and I put a foot in the little restaurant, we were warmly welcomed. The owner started talking to us, and we felt this kind of warm/family hospitality we normally miss in this country. Food was delicious, the cheff was explaining to us how to serve it and I think this is the kind of places we are can't afford to loose.

What a delightful place, the mini crumpets with cheese are so very quaint, really enjoyed my visit

Love this place a real home from home! ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing staff and amazing food. Good portions and tasty.

Lovely restaurant and friendly/welcoming owner. Food was delicious 😊

Enjoyed the delicious new wrap Mum's Bistro has launched. It was perfect for lunch! The food is always incredible here and the owners are so lovely and welcoming. My personal favourite for dinner is the kleftiko, it is a must try and becoming a bit of a lockdown habit!!

Being half Greek Cypriot myself I have high standards when it comes to Greek food, this did not disappoint! Staff are lovely and very friendly. Highly recommend!

I’ve never been to this restaurant before, but I got a last minute lockdown take away from them. The couple running it were so kind and friendly, offering me a drink while I waited for the food cooked fresh for me. We had a vegetarian moussaka and rice and chicken kebab, which were very tasty, and the salad was lovely and fresh. Looking forward to when it’s open again and I can go for a sit down meal!

Cold horrible food that's not even Greek cuisine

Really nice place! Even if I went just for takaways I would really recommend this place. Staff is friendly and the food is just amazing! I can’t wait till it opens!

We ordered a “to good to go” order for a side dish with our tortillas and we found the place in route. We were given a vegetarian moussaka and veg rice which was delicious. The owner was friendly and inside looked very cosy with traditional decor. We would go again for “to good to go” only because they don’t serve halal red meat (only chicken). #bagatakeaway

Authentic Greek atmosphere, great food.

Good food, but no covid measures at all

Great food and great service just a lovely homely unique restaurant.

Great atmosphere and great food.

Lovely food, music and atmosphere!

We ordered the mezze for 2 on a Friday night and there was a buzz already(live music helped !) The food is fresh and delicious, we were served the usual scrummy dips with warm pitta, Greek salad, grilled halloumi and sausage, tasty calamari and whitebait, bean soup and lentils, pasticio, as well as the mix grill with chips and extra salad and rice. We paired the food with a bottle of Cypriot red wine and enjoyed it fully! The secret is to avoid the pitta bread and focus on the food! The service is immaculate, casual and fun, attentive, nobody feels rushed...we were offered complimentary ouzo shots and fruits:)! Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves...I hope the business will remain open during these crazy Covid times as it's now a favourite! There's plenty of variety on the menu for all eaters without compromising on the quality of the food. We will be back!

Great Greek food with an exceptional host. Fantastic atmosphere.

Great authentic greec cipriot food

Reserved some food on the too good to go app and was greeted by a rude "we're closed" response to the doorbell. Ignored my attempts to explain and wouldn't answer the bell again. Arrived just after 5pm, well within the the time frame advertised. Very poor service. I wouldn't know about the quality of the food as I never got to taste it. Pathetic customer service. Don't bother if I were you!

There was a time when the mere mention of the word karaoke would be met with equal amounts of ridicule or trepidation, depending on your disposition. So I was totally unaware of the Friday night karaoke at this venue when I attended a family birthday meal recently. I can only say that it definitely made the evening more memorable. Our host sang many of the old classics, as well as inviting the diners to sing their own personal choices. Whilst singing was not obligatory, dancing was certainly recommended. At the very least it was a whistle stop tour of some old favourites that I haven't heard in years. And all this was incidental to the meal itself. The food too has all the old Greek classics you might expect. The menu is short and simple, and not at all pricey - contrary to what some reviewers here would have you believe (see pictures). We opted for the ubiquitous selection of dips, followed by assorted kebabs and grills. All were top notch, with very generous portions (see pictures). The verdict: truly authentic Greek food and excellent value for money, with music, singing and entertainment thrown in. What more can you expect from a night out?

An incredibly lovely, authentic and tasty experience. Thank you to the lovely owner and head chef. We really enjoyed our dinner. Yum!

Great atmosphere great staff and a great night really did enjoy my self. Music was alot of fun would recommend highly as a place to visit. I will surely be going back. 5 star from me !!

Great venue and a real find - if this was Hoxton it would be packed with hipsters. First Thursday of every month this friendly place hosts the folk club which is terrific - folk, blues, country, pretty diverse with plenty of open mic sessions. The food looks great (haven't eaten) but its got a lot of charm and certainly worth trying on folk night. Places like this deserve support - they're few and far between!

Nice food, frandly people and stuff - nice Greek restoran

Came for a late lunch with a group of friends here and really enjoyed the meze. The food was authetnic and delicious and the owners were very welcoming and warm. The service was excellent even though the restaurant was slightly short staffed.

An exceptional family run Cypriot taverna/restaurant. The food is wellseasoned, cooked to perfection, fresh, big portions and the service is ok. Vintage environment, they focus on food and not the design, quite spacious and pleasant. The owner is very polite, attentive and constantly makes sure that you enjoy your food and everything goes smoothly. Overall, a very pleasant experience as always. I'll be visiting again and again...

This is a hidden gem in north London, a family friendly Greek restaurant and Wednesday night is Karaoke night

Very charming local Greek. Karaoke on a Wednesday.

Fab. stumbled across this place.... what a gem!

food is ok but if u order the meze,and a few soft drinks,b prepared to pay nearly £40 each!!!!!!!! crazy! west end prices! atmosphere is ok ,decore looks like they havnt decorated in 40 years....no waitress, old greek men serving you.better greek restaurants down the road...ex. vrisaki/ paneri/ deserie/ prob cheaper and classier.

Went to this venue 3 of us ate and the food wasn’t that great Not value for money when the bill was £103 for a few meats and 2 portions of calamari Do not recommend it Better restaurants down the road

This is everything a neighbourhood restaurant should be. Friendly, unpretentious, relaxed atmosphere and really good food. Nothing flashy: just classic Cypriot grub cooked with real care. The calamari is incredible!

Vissualy It has been changed since my last visit. Nice and fresh. Food is ok. Staff have to smile a little naturally.

παραπολυ καλό εξυπηρέτηση άψογα και μουσική πολύ καλή

Lovely place with a great owner. We asked for a second portion of lovely complimentary popcorn and we got a massive tupperware as well as some fruits for free.

Lovely friendly place good food nicely priced good music
