Ole Pera Restaurant in Islington - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Este es ahora bajo nueva dirección.

Primera impresión el restaurante estaba muy bien, pero que era sólo los clientes que no fue un problema para nosotros.Los inodoros estaba asquerosa y sucio probablemente nunca habían limpiado. Me sentía enfermo.que era un total desanime. Aun así nos quedamos porque ya habíamos pedido.tardaron media hora a la que estaba muy decepcionado de que el chef poner algunas cosas de pollo y cordero cubitos viveza

Nos alojamos en el barrio, y Ole Pera era en la avenida local - así que nos dio una oportunidad. Es bastante normal en su interior, una amplia zona de comedor y sólo uno esperar personal pero estaba haciendo un trabajo estupendo gestionar todos los pedidos. Probamos el Mariscada para dos, una bonita variedad, todos ellos muy sabrosos y aunque intentamos comer todo, tuvimos que dejar algunas. Sin duda volveremos y probar algo diferente.

Can appear a bit empty during the day but warms up in the evening. Good grilled meats and babganoush. Their menu isn't as extensive as Petek's down the road but tasty.

We recently had a wedding meal at the restaurant, staff were very helpful, polite and accommodating. The food was amazing and the staff were great with fast service with drinks and willing to help. Would highly recommend.

Aunque el servicio es muy Laissez-faire (yo no lo recomendaría si tenían prisa), la comida es muy buena. Te dan una cesta de muy buen pan y salsa chili en el momento de la llegada, y los platos principales son muy agradables. Tienen muy buena cerveza de barril.

This restaurant serves Turkish food and it is excellent. The lamb shush and the bread are great choices and reasonably priced.

Vinimos aquí para una gran comida familiar recientemente y sorprendió lo verdaderamente atractiva y decepcionante resultó ser. Sólo había un par de otras mesas ocupadas y todo el lugar era como una caff huéspedes barata en vez de un restaurante. La camarera parecía ansiosos por preparar los platos antes habíamos terminado nuestro plato para luchar por los platos principales. No fue una experiencia agradable. Esta zona está llena de excelentes restaurantes y ninguno de ellos puede permitirse este displicentes. No volveremos.

was okay. not great, but because its local i gave it a go... it wasnt bad. but did nothing to inspire me to return. shame... but mediocrity just isnt enough!

El pan gratuito es diferente y era muy agradable. Para empezar, tuvimos el halloumi a la y calamares El helio era fabuloso, perfecta espesor, cocinadas justo. Los calamares una muy pequeña porción con piezas extremadamente delgados sin embargo lo poco que había era muy sabroso.

I have come here once a week. The food is good but the service leaves a lot to be desired. My other half loves the food & the meat is very good & tender. However be prepared the service is haphazard. We sometimes use the Gourmet card which gives you 2 for 1 on main meals but when using this the restaurant decides to add a flat service of £4.50 when our bill came to £22 excl service. They need to be consistent in their charging.I will be going back as my other half constantly craves the chilli sauce & the food in general

Very tasty and simple Turkish food. Fixed menu is cheap but very limited. Food is fresh, clean and very enjoyable. Would be handy if you're dieting: simply marinated meat with salads and bread. The atmosphere however spoilt the overall experience; the very faint music lent nothing to the room, which is in itself just a plain box. Maybe with a few extra people in it would be better. Worth a try though.

Food was ok, but nothing to rave about. But when they found out we were Tastecard users, they added a massive whopping service charge to our bill, which wasn't on the first copy of our bill. When confronted about this, they had no clear policy as to why they charged so much for service for two people. If you are using Tastecard, make sure to ask about service charges upfront, so you are not caught unaware. Or better yet, just skip this place altogether.

Went here on a Sunday afternoon with family. Good service and lovely quality food. I ordered the lamb shish and it was melt in the mouth. With a lovely large salad and rice. A mixed grill for 2 was also ordered and it looked amazing. Mountain of meat. It's my new favourite Turkish restaurant

We went to Turkey a few months ago and Ole Pera is the only place in London where we felt food was as genuine and savory as in Istanbul. The service is nice, quick and there are always free tables. Recommend the Moussaka and Yoghurt Lamb Shish.

Very good value and tasty too. In the summer, especially, it has a real atmosphere, but can be very quiet during the daytime.

We tried this restaurant as were craving for some delicious nice Turkish food and also had Tastecard, which was accepted here (2for1). We were not disappointed. Almost ordered some starters as well, but good that we didn't as even with only the main meal we were sooo full. Really enjoyed the whole experience as the decor was quite nice as well, although didn't really liked the spotlights, some more traditional lights would suit better to the place.

We came here for lunch during the week and tried the set menu - two courses for under £10, very good value. Baba Ganoush and vegetable soup were our starters, decent portion size and tasty. Kebabs for main were also lovely, good quality meat and generous helpings of rice and salad.Staff very friendly - and you get tea on the house with the bill. Well worth a visit.

Me and my partner came on a relatively quiet night, service was very attentive and the waiters were happy to recommend classic Turkish drinks and food. There was a traditional Turkish party at the back and they apologised for the loud music (which we did not mind) and then invited to join in the dancing which was such good fun. Food tasted AMAZING and the set menu price is wallet friendly. Will definitely be back

Ole Pera is relatively new to the Stroud Green Road, which is filling up with new restaurants as the area is slowly being recognised as a great place to live and a very convenient hub for transport.We were apprehensive at first at another new restaurant (several have failed) but tried it, and sat outside (a nice feature in Finsbury Park where outside sitting is VERY limited).The food was great - chicken shish is tender and juicy and served with rice and a big salad that actually looks appetising (in many restaurants it doesn't). Ali Nazik on the menu was great - small pieces of juicy chicken in aubergine, garlic, herb sauce. Lovely and with the complementary bread they give you, perfect to mop up the sauce.It is consistently good which is what you want when choosing somewhere to eat particularly after a hard days' work.The only criticism is that it lists 'turkish specials' of lasagne and chips amongst others. This may put some people off expecting authentic turkish cuisine. But still, don't be put off, the rest of the food is great from what we have tried so far.Full marks to Ole Pera for making this a great place to eat - there are not many out of the many restaurants in Finsbury Park but this one I would recommend.

If you like mediterranean food then you will love this little restaurant. Very friendly staff and excellent service. The Lamb was delicious and all the little dips and starters full of flavour and lovely surprises. Extremely, quiet for a Saturday evening, the table next door had the Sea Bass, it looked amazing. If you're ever up this way I would give it a go before the word gets out.

We always come here if we decide we want to eat out and are always shocked at how quiet it is considering how good the food is. I have had better Mediterranean food here then when I was in the Med.

Brilliant little place in Stroud Green, Excellent value with free dips and a 2 courses for £9.95 deal.Probably the best lamb shish in London - tender, melt in your mouth, amazing quality meat.Prompt, efficient service despite being absolutely rammed.Definitely give it a try.

My family and I went to this restaurant on Saturday for my mother's birthday. The restaurant was already packed but they still squeezed in more diners. They were seriously understaffed and we waited ages for our drinks and meals. My friend and sister were still waiting for their meal 50 mins later when we had all been served to be then told that the meal that they had ordered was sold out. My sister ended up eating my mother's left overs as she was so hungry and our friend reordered and waited a further 20 mins.the staff were apologetic but did not offer a reduction in our bill for the appalling service. There were 19 of us in total and all of us said that we would not go back and would not recommend this restaurant to friends.

We really enjoyed our first visit to ole pera, excellent food and nice relaxed atmosphere. I had a minced lamb dish that was well presented, generous and very nice, will definitely be going back again.We also had free turkish tea on the house which was nice we will be going asap thanks to them

We had not looked at the previous Tripadvisor reports but now know that they were fully justified. A family group of four. Excellent service; wonderful food. My lamb chops were really well cooked (just as I like them) and rival a steak I had in Arles many, many years ago. We were settling the (very reasonable) bill but, having said we had had plenty to eat, we were nevertheless offered two desserts to share and tea/coffee free of charge! We just coped!! Daughter now based in the area and she, and we, will return, I am sure. Go there!

Such a new restaurant in the Stroud Green area, but a fantastic visit. Specific water who catered to our every need. Especially since we were on the verge of breaking our fast for Ramadan, this waiter went out of his way to ensure we had enough food to break our fast at the exact time. Overall, the service from all was a fine experience. The food, including the mezze was exquisite, stands out from your typical Turkish/Mediterranean restaurants, particularly those located at Green Lanes, not far away. Only less than three months in existence, but I'm undeniably sure that this restaurant will receive a lot of attention soon. GO AND VISIT!!

Really enjoyed my first visit to ole pera, excellent food and nice relaxed atmosphere. I had a minced lamb dish that was well presented, generous and very nice, will definitely be going back again!

This restaurant was new to us, perfect service, feeling, and food! Starters were very generous, the mix cold mezze had a very good home made hummus and a tomato based dish that was delicious! As a main dish the lamb was not fatty at all, very good flavor and perfectly tender cooked. Aubergines on the side made a good combination.We were so full after we could not have dessert! Oh, and the house wine we decided to try was very good. We are definitely coming back!
