Parkside Restaurant in Haringey

Elegimos (verde) y hummus en pan pitta y semillas de sésamo (pastas borekas llena con halloumi) y todo estaba muy rico. Sabores eran realzadas por la Salsa estilo libanés zhoug (chili). Sorprendido por el nombre por encima de la puerta, sin embargo, parece más de Oriente Medio de los Balcanes.

Staying locally, I fancied some Turkish style food having been to Istanbul recently and also being a vegetarian I know they do a great selection. I was not disappointed! Very nice flavours and presentation. I had a mixed mezze. Staff great and it was so chill inside.

We got the “2-person” mezze that was so much food it could feed 4 people. Amazing value for money. Katmir dessert was delicious

The reviews are shocking — almost as shocking as the seats we were supposed to sit and dine in. If I wanted a stranger practically in my lap while eating, I’d just book a table for one and make a new friend over their pad Thai. The portion sizes? Small. Yes, the food is SPICY and AUTHENTIC — but unless you’re a kid, you’ll probably leave hungry after ordering a main meal- curry and rice. And just when you think it can’t get more bizarre, the hot Thai jasmine rice arrives WRAPPED IN PLASTIC WRAP. Because nothing says “fresh and fragrant” like being steamed in cling film. Now, to the “service and its charges": Not bad, until I dared to ask for the DISCRETIONARY service charge to be removed I was met with disbelief. Questioned, pressed, and made to justify why I wanted it removed,since "it is the part of the menu"; in front of 3 other waiters at the counter. 𝙄𝙛 𝙞𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙨 **𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙮**, 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙤𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 — 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙪𝙡𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙞𝙥 𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙛𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙪𝙧. I give this a hard pass.

My favourite local spot. Delicious food and great customer service always!
