ABSOLUTLY DISGUISTING ! THE PRAWN STARTERS WERE NOT GRILLED. THEY WERE FRIED SLIGHTLY WITH THE HEADS AND TAILS LEFT ON. FOUR FIRED PRAWNS FOR £7.95 AND ADVERTISED AS GRILLED. THE SALAD BENETH IT WAS OLD ! OUR BURGERS WERE HARDLY COOKED ! DO THEY THINK WE ARE STUPIT?? AND THE CHIPS WERE OLD CHIPS. THEY THINK THE CUSTOMERS WONT REALISE? THE CHIPS WERE OLD LEFTOVER CHIPS. DISGUISTING !

Had a delivery from Fish 'n' Flame for the entire family... Our first try, after new owners renamed from Poseidon. Really impressed with the quality of the dishes... Son had cod... generous portion of cod in light crisp batter, you could tell it was really fresh cod, perfectly cooked. Scampi, calamari and whitebait all delicious, still crisp and hot. Tried their grilled lemon sole too... Fresh, beautifully cooked and presented and well packed for delivery, but perhaps would be better in their restaurant, as was a tiny bit dry... but I enjoyed it very much. However, would possibly have their battered cod next time!! Chips hot and delicious, can't fault these at all. Their home made tartare sauce is great and I love the fact they included this and lemon too. PS chip portion size mentioned elsewhere... We thought these were very generous and 3 were more than enough for family of 4, so no complaints there either!

So, we wanted to check out the new ownership and try the new menu. We decided to go for the roast chicken and chips. The chips are still on point, but the roast chicken was gross. Clearly, they part cook the chicken and then deep fat fry it!!!! Honestly not too sure how this can be called roast chicken, but I would advise my East Finchley neighbours to avoid it at all costs. We had to throw it as it tasted so bad and was super dry. Stick to what the previous owners did well... Fish and Chips

I felt the need to satisfy a craving for fish and chips I've had for the past few years. I had heard good things about this restaurant and I decided to stop by for some take away. The fish and chips were perfectly fried and non greasy. The fish batter was deliciously crisp as were the exterior of the chips. The chips, once bitten into could best be described and fluffy potato heaven.

Recently visited Poseidon with my boyfriend's parents after they raved and raved about it. We dined in rather than getting a takeaway and the service was great. Our waitress was full of positive energy, very hospitable and really did go the extra mile to ensure we had a great experience - pre-thinking our needs, giving us those extra mushy peas because Fred loves his mushy peas so much. It's the little things that go a long way. The food was delicious, between us we ordered: cod (battered), sea bass (whole, skin & bones), salmon (battered). Nothing is under or over cooked, the batter is crisp and light. Oh and the Calamari! Perfectly cooked, PERFECT! Dine in or take out, either way, you're not going to be disappointed.

Excellent fish and chips (cod and haddock) eaten amongst my family. We all loved it. In fact, one of the best fish and chips meals I have ever had - and I have had many, including some Michelin starred restaurant meals. This honestly compared favourably with those yesterday evening - hence felt compelled to leave a well deserved review.

Señalización preciosa, se ve limpia. Sin embargo, la comida era el peor pescado y patatas fritas que te puedas imaginar. Aceite viejo, las papas fritas no estaban frescas, podría haber sido un mal día, pero no comestible, seco y arrugado. El pescado no está crujiente, está rancio y empapado, puedes ver dónde se quema la masa negra. Tanta grasa vertida en todo el embalaje tuvo que dejarla después de un bocado. He trabajado en tiendas de pescado y papas fritas, así que sé que los ingredientes en Poseidon son de baja calidad y se comen muchos buenos y malos, pero esto fue lo peor. Y el precio es insultante. Llamé para mencionar que lo resolvieron, me dijeron que estaba equivocado, que es nuevo. Lo que sea chicos

Hemos esperado alrededor de dos años para que se vuelva a abrir el Poseidón. Solía ser uno de nuestros restaurantes favoritos porque podíamos ir allí con amigos, a algunos de los cuales no les gusta el pescado y todos podían tener algo que les gustara porque hacían terneros con hígado, kebabs y otros platos de carne. Pienso que debe haber cambiado de manos porque no reconocí a la gente que lo maneja ahora. No para mejor, desafortunadamente, ordenamos los langostinos para comenzar seguidos por el hígado de cordero frito. La respuesta inmediata fue que el hígado de cordero estaba apagado. dijimos que todavía estaba en el panel de especiales, pero la respuesta fue que iban a eliminar el panel de especiales lo antes posible. ¡Está fuera de pato! ! ! Después de probar un par de otras opciones con mucha carne, nos dijeron que ya no hacían carne, así que tenía que ser pescado. Bueno, ya era demasiado tarde para salir, así que optamos por la suela. ¡Poco después volvió para decir que las gambas estaban fuera de pato! ! Otra lectura del menú y pensamos que podríamos probar las vieiras. Esta vez tuvimos suerte y finalmente tuvimos nuestras vieiras y la suela. las vieiras no eran excepcionales, hemos tenido mejor en Miller & Carter, pero no me puedo quejar de la suela que era muy buena. en general, una gran decepción, nada de lo que fuimos allí. Ciertamente no se molestaría en volver. Si solo desea pescado, entonces estaría mucho mejor en TOFFS.

Poseidón es un pescado y chipper con un restaurante adjunto. Llevamos 12 niños para una fiesta de cumpleaños. La comida era excelente. No grasienta, un delito común en la comunidad de peces y chip. Incluso maltratada una orden por separado porque sufro de celiacos. Nos permitieron traer nuestra propia tarta y nos ayudó con las velas palava. Era caro pero la calidad cuesta más.

El pescado era fresco y bien preparado y servido.

El propietario se disculpó y dijo que como no especificamos el 8. 95 oferta que tendríamos que pagar 13. 50. Entonces, ¡cuidado con el comprador! Le pregunté por qué no nos contó sobre la oferta cuando pedimos y él respondió "¿Por qué debería hacerlo?" Punto tomado, pero realmente creo que la oferta debería haber sido señalada a nosotros. ¡Al menos nos ofrecieron cafés gratis!

Although the food was adequate the portions were small. My scallops starter consisted of only 3! For the price I paid for them I found this unacceptable. The Dover Sole was not priced on the Menu as you would see in a high class restaurant. The shop decides the price dependant on the weightI was shocked to be charged £ 28 for a fish about 350 grammes. Not good. Vegetables were not included with main courses. This is an establishment aiming for the high end market but in reality is nothing more than a high street fish and chip shop and a very average one at that. The bread which arrived already buttered was confirmation of this fact

Speaking for myself, I had a delicious plate of perfectly cooked fish and chips. The batter was light and crispy, and the fish was beautifully white and tender. A nice little side salad, and dish of mushy peas were the perfect accompaniment, not forgetting the tartar sauce. Followed by a creamy, delicious crème brulee, I was most impressed, and would definitely eat here again if I was in the area.

I was taken here by a business colleague who I respect as a 'foodie' (for want of a better word). He told me it was his favourite fish restaurant in London. I was a tad sceptical but he was right!! It is very understated but Poseidon absolutely delivers. I am absolutely sure that Rick Stein would love it here for that reason. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Furthermore, our waiter Jimmy was the consummate professional. It's rare that you meet a waiter who is so knowledgable about the gastronome of the restaurant they work at. We trained 'most' of the dishes and they were all incredible. I'd give 6 stars if possible. Don't overlook this little Jem in East Finchley.

While in East Finchley visiting a friend on a week day evening we decided to have a meal at Poseidon and we went through the menu commencing with our starters, houmus and taramasalata served with warm pita slices, this restaurant is owned by a Greek Cypriot family and Mediterranean dishes are featured in every course including the meat dishes, We then had plaice fillet and sea bream with chips and veg side dish along with a glass of house white wine and finished with a dessert taken from the selection of ice creams. The main fish course was very tasty and with generous portions and were really full at end of meal and on reflection could have skipped the starters which would also have helped reduce the fairly hefty bill. The staff were very helpful and friendly! During lunchtime there is a set meal at much lower prices!

Cod and Chips - how easy can it get? Well not so easy at Poseidon. Maybe they got the mushy from the peas confused with the deep fried cod and came up with mushy cod and peas? That's how it was last night and a few weeks ago when I first tried Poseidon. Fish and chips - a great British dish - ruined by folks who don't seem to know what it is!

Yesterday 2 July I went with my teen child to Poseidon looking to get a good fish and chips early evening meal. It was hot outside so thought it would be nice to sit in and eat, we ordered cod and chips and haddock and boiled potatoes. Both meals looked unappealing without any peas or a little salad what was given on a previous visit I didn't want to pay extra for a spoonful of peas or salad when both meals were pricey anyway. My child didn't think much of the cod it was greasy and the fish didn't have the plump flakes associated with cod. My haddock was watery and flavour less and the batter was soggy. I was given about 5 little new potatoes put in a line which just looked bizarre.Both fish were bad quality I suspect they took them from the takeaway next door which were sitting in the warmer and they weren't cooked fresh. We went for the fried option if we had for the grilled it would have had to have been cooked fresh. I also question the authenticity of both fish they were either bad quality or not what is advertised. The meal was £27 an absolute waste of money I don't mind paying for a good meal and this wasn't one. We would have been better buying from the takeaway for at least £10/12. Mind you I won't be going there again ever to eat in or use the takeaway. This place used to be an amazing place for fish and chips but over the years it has gone down. They are resting on what they once were, their Greek menu may be fab I haven't eaten it so I can't comment.The service wasn't great either the waiter was impatient while we were ordering. He appeared annoyed when we just asked for tap water and said 'nothing else?'. We wasn't asked if we enjoyed our meal while we were eating or after. Staff didn't even say goodbye when we left. Yesterday was sweltering I didn't want to get into a conversation with them about the meal as they only seemed interested in the fiscal part of our eating experience and not the service or food side. We were hungry we ate it I just wanted to get home. But it played on my mind so I thought I would leave an honest review of our experience others appear to have had great times and food, we didn't. Hopefully it will help people make an informed choice and to give the organisation feedback. They didn't ask for any yesterday so I will give some today. If you eat there I hope it is a much better experience then ours

Wife & I travel up from Highgate to eat here once a week. There is an excellent and great value 3-course meal available during the day Mon-Fri. Evenings are always fun and, unlike one famous competitor, you can book a table. Wide range of fish from Dover sole, through swordfish to excellent cod. But, Poseidon also serves excellent meat and their lamb chops are to die for.

 There is no doubt that this establishment serves great tasting food so after a visit to the nearby Phoenix Cinema one day my pal and I decided to sit in the window of the restaurant and enjoy the 'eat in' hospitality.We decided upon mixed olives as a simple tasty starter and a main course each. However, a large skate wing and 'super' sized haddock with chips and mushy peas whilst well cooked and highly enjoyable seemed a little over priced in retrospect when we were presented with the final bill at around £60 when all we had to drink was tea and sparkling While the restaurant offers great service with friendly staff and that it is clean and with neutral decor and pretty decent toilets facilities (at least the men's room were) which is always a bonus but we both felt that we had somehow not had full value for money compared to other similar establishments. This may be a better place to keep in reserve to eat-in for something a bit special.I think when we next want a fish supper when in the area again we will resort to the take away option as a far better value for money meal.

If you desire quality and value, the Poseidon Fish Restaurant will fit your bill. The restaurant, centrally located in East Finchley, is warm, friendly and immaculate. The fish menu was extensive, offering the finest and freshest grilled or fried fish. There are many other menu choices including traditional kebabs on charcoal, and a variety of tasty starters. My party ordered flaky white plaice and haddock fried in matzoh meal to a light golden crust..We also ordered the chicken kebabs, which were seasoned to perfection. The portions were huge. From the dessert menu, we sampled freshly made Greek pastries that melted in your mouth. Their specialty dessert is their creme brulee. The choices all looked pretty "special" to me! Great service, very friendly staff. Definitely on my return list.

We visited Poseidon fish restaurant with friends. We had a great meal and cant wait to return. Our starters included gravlax which was amazing, homemade octopus stew and grilled calamari, which were very tasty! The grilled halibut was beautifully fresh and cooked to perfection which melt in your mouth. We also shared a huge haddock and again it was delicious. The chips were really nice and not too oily. The house white wine, a french Sauvignon blanc, complemented our meal perfectly and was great value for money. This is definitely one of the best fish restaurants we've been to, both in London and abroad!

I went for a recent meal here with the girls and I have to say I had one of the best fish meals I've had in a long long time! The fish and chips were faultless, the batter was not that yucky oily type where you feel you are eating more batter than fish, and the haddock was amazing so fresh! The portions I have to say are in fact too big but it was so good I finished my plate, needless to say I had to undo my button on my trousers!! The Greek side dips that you can order were also delicious and the only negative I have to say is that the fish size is too big!!! I will definitely be going back and when in need of a take away this will be first choice without a doubt! Highly recommend!

Have ordered from here many times and the food is worse than terrible. Twice have gone for my money back. I would advise anyone who dislikes stale, uncooked, overpriced food to not order food from this place.

I am not surprised that this fish and chips take-away with adjoining restaurant has not had a review before as I note that it is recorded on TP as being in 'Longdon' rather than East Finchley, London N.2 which is here it is and not the fictitious place referred to!! However, it is worth recording that I popped by here recently with a pal at the end of a long day strolling through the city in the sunshine. Although we had a choice of almost everything London had to offer as we passed through we decided to revisit Poseidon as we had not been there for a while and we fancied a decent take-away. We were left wondering why not as we were served with a sumptuous freshly cooked large haddock and crisp chunky chips that we both satiated on. The mushy peas were also fine. Overall we both thought our meal was faultless. We will be returning to pick up another take-away from here again quite soon I am sure.

The worst pub I’ve ever visited. There were only TWO draught beers available, so was served a warm, flat Guinness in a plastic pint pot, by disinterested staff who were literally texting whilst pouri
