Popped in for a meal before we headed to the 02 arena Service was pretty decent and friendly Opted for the sucuk starter and girlfriend had haloumi …both were pretty good as were the mains Had the chicken shish and mother half had the chicken beyti Only thing that lets it down is that it just doesn’t feel like a restaurant in any way ….just feels like a few tables thrown together in the back of a take away which is a real shame as I said the food was pretty good There was Turkish music playing that only dogs would hear….there’s so much more scope there to improve the vibe and I really hope they do We had one wine and a beer but it just didn’t seem to place to extend our stay …shame

Not for vegans! Asked for my falafel wrap to be made vegan on several occasions. Then the guy serving me slapped mayonnaise in the wrap and I said I couldn’t eat it. His coworker gave me grief for not being clearer, despite the fact I had said it 3-4 times. He then said ‘there’s nothing for you here brother’ and pointed to the exit. They were clearly put out that I was vegan, and it was evident they found my dietary requirements a pain.

This place looks like a standard kebab takeaway from the front (5* for cleanliness) but they also have tables at the back. Its not posh or luxurious but the chicken shish and lamb adana were both good with excellent quality meat. The bread is freshly cooked and a lot better than the reheated pitta you often get. Service was friendly and helpful. We will go back for pre-Union Chapel gig food.

The Noa restaurant is in Upper Street and is a very short walk from Highbury and Islington station and opposite the Union Chapel. As well as being a sit down restaurant they also offer takeaway. As I had time to kill I decided to sit down and relax. The restaurant was not very busy and the staff were friendly and attentive to my needs. The food was served quickly and very tasty. Highly recommended.

My friend and I visited last week. We hadn' t been for many years. sadly it turned out into a frustrating experience. There are no pre- theatre early eve deals. The place was cold and the waiting staff were very ambivelant. We only had a main each with a soft drink. I asked twice for some ice which appeared too much trouble and we both had chicken/ lamb shish kebabs. The chicken was under cooked and rubbery and the lamb similar and chewy. We sent it back. The portions were not generous at nearly£12.00 each. Very disappointing. The whole place needs re-thinking. I certainly would not go back. They think they can rest on their laurels at over priced under cooked bland and surly uncaring service. If they don't change it will be another closing down! Customers deserve better!!

Popped in post gig - they were very busy and i ordered a mixed shish (Chicken and Lamb) had to wait because it was busy but was freshly cooked and was one of the nicest things I've ever eaten. I popped into weatherspoon and had a couple of pints and as i hadn't eaten anything apart from the previous shish all day i thought I'd have a small doner as i didn't have time to wait for the shish. It was all gristle and tough to eat. The person who prepared the first one popped a bag at the bottom to stop juices running out, this one hadn't so i ended up wearing it. I can truly say this was one of the worse things i have ever eaten. As others have said - wrapped in a tortilla ???? Service a bit bruisq but then again i wasn't looking for a long term relationship so does it matter. Shish is fantastic, but doner is a let down - would have been 5 stars for the shish!

Antes de un concierto en el cercano salón de asambleas de Islington, visité esta comida para una merienda rápida en busca de algo barato, pero con la esperanza de no tener que recurrir a McDonalds, deseando comer algo local por lo menos. Mirando el menú, sabía que no iba a ser algo barato, sino algo con valor para el dinero que al menos esperaba, y algo que me llenaría siendo lo más importante. El tipo que estaba detrás del mostrador era realmente amable y acogedor desde el principio, así que al menos eso era algo optimista al conversar. No tomaron tarjetas, así que interrumpí la conversación para correr a uno de los dos cajeros automáticos adyacentes y retirar dinero.

We attended a concert at Union Chapel and were dying to have something for dinner. After 10:30pm is really difficult to find restaurants still serving food, so as we were heading to a sad Mc Donald’s, we came across the little gem. Great service, generous portion sizes and the food simply delicious. We had some Turkish wine to accompany our meal which was really tasty. Definitely worth a visit!

La fachada de la calle parece poco prometedora con un contador de kebab para llevar estándar para llevar. Sin embargo, detrás de eso hay un restaurante muy agradable. La decoración es sencilla pero elegante. Estuvimos allí en una noche de partido de fútbol cuando se ofreció un menú reducido, pero todavía había una gran elección. Fuimos por una gran selección de entrantes vegetarianos fríos y calientes para compartir, que funcionó bien para nosotros. Todos los platos estaban muy bien, bien preparados y / o cocinados. El servicio fue amable, rápido y eficiente. Los precios eran razonables también. Nos vinimos sintiendo repletos y habiendo tomado una bebida cada uno (una buena selección de cervezas y vinos), con el costo per cápita de menos de 25 (incluyendo una propina).

Este restaurante ha estado sirviendo excelente comida desde el día en que se abrió y tienen una cocina de vidrio donde se puede ver a los increíbles chefs haciendo malabarismos con varios pedidos de comida al mismo tiempo sin quemar nada en la parrilla súper caliente. Cuando coma aquí, asegúrese de reservar si el Arsenal juega en casa, ya que está casi al lado de las estaciones de Highbury e Islington. Yo sugeriría que si quieres una comida más tranquila o si eres un fanático de los Spurs, entonces continúa otro día cuando el personal esté menos bajo presión. La envoltura de Doner es increíble y también el Iskendar, que solo se preparan en los días que no hay partidos, ¡así que ten cuidado!

We had tickets to Union Chapel for a concert and didn't know where to eat locally. My husband checked Tripadvisor and booked a table for three at Noa. My heart sank when we arrived at what looked like a kebab shop on Upper Street but once in the rear room restaurant and having studied the menu things looked a lot brighter. Two young waitresses offerd drinks ( only Efi beer complained our son) but having had Efi in Turkey we convinced him to try it and he agreed it'd very good indeed. Fotified by the beer (another quickly followed) the menu was very comprehensive with typically turkish food and a good range of dishes. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff We had a great meal and when we left we all admitted it had greatly surpassed our initial concerns!! Do try it when you are in the area.

I have been here on a regular basis on the way home. However, when I went tonight I was told aggressively by the guy serving me that they refuse card payments and would not let me pay. I have paid by card on multiple occasions here and the customers 10 minutes before also did (It was a long wait for food this evening). The aggression of the staff was highly unnecessary and embarrassing when they refuse to let you pay by a means that they have always been capable of until 10 mins before I order. Unacceptable service and I will be in the restaurant personally tomorrow to make a formal complaint to management

I phoned restaurant and asked if I could use a taste card. I was assured that I could. On arrival I again stipulated that I would be using my taste card and again was told by the waiter it was fine. When we received the bill it was without the discount. I inquired why. the manager came and loudly and abruptly told me that 'we do not use taste cards here. I explained that I had inquired previously. he insisted that the person I spoke to on the phone was mistaken. The waiter denied saying it would be OK to use it.Not only did I feel embarrassed but really cross and disappointed to have been led on like this. no apology was made!Also didn't receive a smile at all throughout the meal from any of the staff>Food very average.

We kind of stumbled upon this restaurant, but we are so glad we did! While staying in Islington, my husband and daughter and I headed out on Sunday looking for a place for lunch. When we saw this restaurant, we knew this was the place! We all love Middle Eastern food. We sat down in a beautiful dining room, which was almost empty--but the take-out business was lively. We enjoyed a plate of falafel and absolutely marvelous pitas with humus before the meal. The food was served at just the right time. I had lamb and chicken kebabs with rice and all the right spices to make a savory meal. I highly recommend this restaurant. Be sure to sit down and enjoy the dining room!

I'm in my fifties and have had my fair share of kebabs in my time.They're something I would now have maybe once or twice per year, as they;re a bit naughty.I'd never been to Noa before, but on our way home from a night out, thought we would give it a go.What a mistake. Since when does a kebab come in a tortilla?The meat, what there was of it, was just gristle.When you picked it up to eat it, the chilli sauce, ran out like watery blood.I had one bite, and through it in the bin.This was a Saturday night!

Just when I thought this place couldn't get any better, they go and pull out some wizardry on the salmon dish. I used to think this was a take away but during busy times, people forget the restaurant, just through the shop front...Don't be shy. It's worth the extra 2 second walk.The waiter is excellent, he could probably spin plates and still serve every table, and the two young owners, charming as always. I go a few times yearly when I'm in London and it's always in my top 2 places to go for food, top place for Mediterranean cuisine. On the Highbury and Islington end of Upper Street, I wish I worked local. Will be back in June to see what other magic the chef pulls off. They play a nice fire setting on the TV... think they could bring in some summer vibes this year when June hits.

As far as random finds go, this was a superb one! Hungry and after anything 'stodgy' me and my friend decided to pick this Kebab restaurant as it looked clean, was conveniently close to the station and had seating at the rear. I would consider myself somewhat a connosieur of kebabs as I live in Southall and they are available in abundance!We opted for a kofte kebab each, chicken shish with chips, flat bread and salad. Awesome decision making! Right amount of food, freshly cooked and sizzling when it arrived and flavoured very well. Washed down with a bottle of beer - this was just what the doctor ordered.I wouldn't put turkish kebabs on par with Indian style ones as they lack a little spice for my liking, hence the 4* rating and not a 5*.Would definitely eat here again if I was local!

It's convenient for The Union Chapel, to start with a positive. But the food is very average considering how many great Turkish restaurants London has. The mezzo starter at £9.50 is a circle of barely distinguishable hummus, tzatziki and a couple more, with a tiny amount of tabbouleh. None of it tasted freshly prepared. We had a small portion of moussaka which was fine and a chicken kebab that was the real deal, succulent and charred a little at the edges. Both dishes were marred by salad on the side with a sickly sweet dressing. Nutty little Turkish delight arrives with the bill - nice touch. Overall, a bit disappointing. Maybe a kebab from the counter at the front is a better option.

Do not be fooled by the unprepossessing front to Noa, step inside past the takeaway crowd and grab a table.The food is delicious. My chicken kebab, served with salad and rice was tender and succulent but I could hardly take my eyes off or my fork from my wife's lamb doner. Fortunately the portion was so generous that I managed more than a taste of crisp, tasty lamb. This is quite simply the best doner kebab I have ever tasted. According to our host, the secret is that the kebabs are home made with layer upon layer of good meat. Brilliant!

We visited her on a Saturday evening with friends before a comedy night at union chapel.At first it looks like a kebab shop but out the back is a lovely resturant. Our orders were taken quickly and drinks served whilst we browsed the menu. The hardest part was choosing what to eat as there were so many lovely dishes. Our friends had visited before and advised that the helpings were large so we opted for breads and hummus and olives to start whuch were very tasty.For the mains we had the mixed meat platter and a bowl of chips which was sufficient for 2 to share. The meats were well cooked and very tasty. The lamb donner was not the normal minced lamb that most places serve but very finely hand cut lamb meat.We had a lovely meal and with drinks for 5 it was just under £80 which i think is very good value.We will definately be back for seconds the next time we visit the union chapel.Our friends did warn us that if its a match day then it gets very busy and they only offer a limited menu so best checking before travelling so your not disappointed.

We were heading to a concert and decided to get a bite to eat prior. Given we didn't have a reservation we weren't expecting a lot. Not Restaurant was very close so we decided to check it out.The restaurant is located behind a shop front that looks like a typical Kebab takeaway. It is laid out well and there were plenty of seats for a Saturday night. Given we had no reservation we thought it may be a problem, but it wasn't.After sitting down we choose a mixed grill to share (Noa Solo Platter) and a vegetable dish (Patlıcan Salata) along with two glasses of the house wine. The food came out relatively fast and it was delicious. It was more than enough for both of us. The staff also brought out some turkish delights and another small dessert at the end for free which was nice.For the situation we were in, we were surprised on how we lucked out with this place!

A group of 7 of us scheduled dinner here as our favorite restaurant nearby had closed. Walking in I resigned myself to another substandard meal in Britain. (yes, I am THAT picky American.) We had so many different dishes and shared them all... I remember the Saksuka in particular. The eggplant was perfectly cooked, and delicious. The bill was reasonable and we had very good service throughout.

Excellent value for money food! Even for a vegetarian! Delicious halloumi takeaway every time. I haven't eaten in though am sure it would be as good.

Really a lot more that a kebab house, this spot does a roaring trade, especially if Arsenal are playing at home but at all other times they provide a wonderful service to local residents and workers. The halloumi wrap is my dish of choice.

Ate here last weekend with my wife on our way to Union Chapel . The restaurant at the back of a kebab shop made it all feel a bit weird but we were made very welcome by the staff . The food arrived quickly and the mixed kebabs were great . We were even offered complimentary coffees afterwards but unfortunately didn't have time . Nice to be asked though

Good service and excellent food in unassuming surroundings. Worth a visit from anywhere north of the river and right handy for a show in the Union Chapel. Nice one !

Have usually eaten at Gem, a little further up the road. Decided to try Noa based on reviews and am impressed. Lunch menu has ample choice, is great value and the food is fab. Highly recommended restaurant for honest Turkish food for lunch or in the evening. The place has a friendly family/group event atmosphere and stays open quite late for celebrations. Am very glad I came across this and will certainly be revisiting. Soon :)

Knew nothing about it, save hat at the time of booking it was number 233 out of over 19000 in London, so expecting a lot!On arrival they were perplexed that I had booked as they had no record, on the basis that at 1730 they only had three customers it wasn't an issue!Starter were chip shaped Calamari with unexciting sauce and salad with no dressingMain was a nice Lamb "steak" with trimmings again very edible but not overly exciting.Had a delicious Turkish coffee to finish.Service was efficient and reasonably rapid

I went in here on matchday and chose selection off promptly offered matchday menu. I close bbq chicken cubes on bed of salad, with warm pita bread and a garlic drizzle sauce. Prices range 9 to 13 pounds for main courses. Nice decor in licenced restaurant to rear of what externally is a kebab shop. Dont go on matchdays for lingering meal.

Lovely staff and food comes quick. The meat is probably the best I've had in a Turkish place. Usually get the mixed döner. Big portions and fair money spent

Having been to many Greek/Turkish/Lebanese restaurants and having read the reviews in TripAdvisor, I was looking forward to dinner at Noa. Unfortunately it was a case of general disappointment. Decor: bland, food: average (mostly overlooked). Only slightly positive was the service but overall not that hard considering there were only four tables busy.

Was walking around in the area and saw this restaurant and how nice it looked from the outside so that swayed me to give it a go. Once inside it looked even more impressive and the best bit about it was the quality of the food you can see the chefs really do take good care in terms of how well the food is cooked and presented. Would go alone again or with family and friends 10/10

I went to this restaurant with a group of my friends a couple nights ago and was extremely satisfied with our dining experience.The staff are most welcoming and actually have personality, which is lacking in most restaurants these days. Even at a time when it seemed it's most busiest, the food was great!I will definitely be going back here!

So many restaurants purport to be Turkish and simply can't make the grade.Genuine and highly trained turkish staff make this one of the most service oriented restaurants. Everything is soooo right, menu comprehensive, pricing 'on the £' quality outrageously good and the food is... utterly tasty.You won't be disappointed!

Haz Bar & Restaurant, Finsbury Squarelocation-icon14 Finsbury Square The Alphabeta Building, London EC2A 1AH EnglandTurkish

Myself and a few colleagues went to Haz in Finsbury Square for dinner and drinks after work. The venue itself is nice enough but unfortunately we had a bad experience with service and food. Regarding service, some people received their drinks while others didn't. My drink just didn't arrive and when I enquired they told me that they were out of stock of rose prosecco. I wonder who was going to let me know! Regarding food, I ordered an Octopus starter for £13 and the dish I received was ridiculous - I truly believe they cut one octopus tentacle into about five pieces and spread it across the plate. There were more olives than anything else - shamless. When I queried the dish with the waitress she told me she doesn't design the food and didn't offer an alternative or attempt to help, so I sent the dish back. The mains were quite nice but I was served with dirty cutlery and the waitress/ waiter did not clear the starter plates before serving the mains so the table was a mess. All in all, poor service and average food. We reluctantly paid the service charge however we would never return to this restaurant. Shame as I've been to other Haz restaurants and the experience has been very different.
