Sade Restaurant and Bar in Islington

Exmouth market is spoiled for eaterys, this has been here for a long time and keeps it traditional - friendly service with plenty of space so you dont feel like you are on top of the table next to you...

Mi spiace ma questo locale mi ha deluso moltissimo x il cibo...il servizio è buono...ma...non lo consiglio molto...Se volete provarlo fatelo ma siete avvisati...

They do a great lunchtime deal and accept tastecard, so very good value for money! Lovely fish dishes too if you dont fancy eating meat.

Estar en Londres, estábamos en la caza de auténtica comida turca. Vivimos en Turquía durante unos años y faltaban es sabor inmensamente. Visitamos otras tiendas, pero nos parecieron cerradas o con nuevos temas y los menús, hasta que encontramos Sade.

Basado en estudios más recientes, estaba un poco nerviosa cuando reserva este restaurante. Tengo una tarjeta de sabor y este restaurante fue dándole el 50% de descuento en su menú a la tarjeta. Para mi sorpresa, la comida era sensacional, y el servicio fue excelente! El ambiente era relajado y amable. Realmente disfruté de mi tiempo. Muchas Gracias Sade y espero que os sostenga su buena calidad de servicio.

Frío literalmente como figurativos. La calefacción era demasiado bajo para el confort general durante un día frío, pese a algunas mesas ya clientes. el lado opuesto es que las amplias ventanas de vidrio permiten mucha luz para entrar en buenos días.

Este restaurante no está a la altura de los comentarios que nos ha conducido aquí. Mi moussaka era aceptable, el pollo hawaiano de mi mujer estaba picante pero tenía un sabor extraños que ninguno de nosotros pudo lugar y no pudimos terminarla. Mi esposa estaba ahogando en su comida y preguntamos por el agua. Nos trajeron una botella que cuesta 3 libras más que el agua del grifo gratis nos deberían haber ofrecido. El restaurante estaba completamente vacío aparte de nosotros mismos, los muebles eran bastante barato y la música bastante ruidoso y molesto. No he tenido la valentía de reducir el 12,5 % de propina es voluntaria que era un fastidio que añade a todas las facturas en Londres

He estado viniendo al restaurante muchas veces, pero tras último par de visitas sus estándares parece atractivo. La comida es buena, pero el servicio es demasiado relajado. Que traer personal como pan y aceitunas después de que recordarles, olvidar lados y llevar los platos principales justo después que trajeron los principiantes, antes de que se terminen. Decoración en general necesita ser limpiado y deberían centrarse en limpieza cuchillos, tenedores y vasos.

We had a great experience at this restaurant! The food was excellent and the service timely even though there were 2 Christmas parties going on! This will be a must when we visit London next year!

Lamb shish fantastico, cotto benissimo, con riso e verdure saltate alla perfezione. Non fate troppi esperimenti. Ambiente rilassato.

We ate here after a Saddler Wells Matinee and we really enjoyed everything! There was great choice on the menu, our waiter was super-helpful, and the food was delicious. When the bill came it was good value too. i thought the plain décor was classy!

Went here mid-week with some current and ex-colleagues. Food was very good and portions very plentiful. Beautifully cooked lamb. Decor perhaps a littlen plain.

On the recommendation of our daughter who has spent more time in London than my wife or me, the three of us enjoyed the best meal of the entire trip at Sade. It was a warm late October evening and we met up dined al fresco. We each ordered something different and shared food with one another. I ordered a combination plate and everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I don't recall what my wife or daughter ordered, but I do recall enjoying the samples off of their plates as well. Our server recommended reasonably priced wines to accompany our orders and we all enjoyed the pairings that we received, our wine snob daughter included. Our server was extremely attentive without without interfering, and he did nothing to make us feel rushed even though we lingered for quite awhile after our meal was complete. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to dining there again the next time we go to London.

Visited on a Sunday evening and was more than satisfied with the experience. Was very easy to book a table over the phone, food was perfectly cooked and didn't have to wait too long either. Bruno was a very helpful waiter, made us feel welcome and made us aware what is and isn't available on the tastecard without us asking. Would definitely recommend this place even if it's full price!

visited Sade on a Monday evening with a friend. Restaurant was not busy. Shared a (complementary) Humus between us - restaurant very accommodating as friend has allergies so bought out some crudites (fresh carrot/cucumber) to have instead of the bread. Humus very tasty. I had the lamb tagine, my friend had the lamb cutlets - both very well prepared - accompanied by a bottle of the house white and followed by coffee's came to £50 - very reasonable for the quality of the food and the service.

I visited here late on a Saturday afternoon with my wife and son whom we were visiting as he is at Uni close by.We checked out the billboard menu outside, and to be honest, that due to the menu being quite extensive (I've watched Ramsay) and the fact that the restaurant was empty whilst others nearby had customers I would have looked elsewhere but for two things- 1) My son pointed out that it had a decent sized veggie menu. 2) The very cheery looking waiter stood in the doorway saying hello.The interior is clean and modernish but not new. The Portugese waiter was friendly but not overbearing, and offered us the perfect level of service. Bread and humous both delicious was served whilst we waited for our starters which arrived reasonably quickly. To start I had soup which was very good, my wife had fried mozzarella and I forget what my son had, we were all happy with our starters. Our mains arrived about 20 minutes after our starter plates were cleared. My son had the veggie moussaka which came with a large salad, he said it was exceptionally good, my wife enjoyed the chicken shish with rice and vegetables, and I tucked into the mixed grill which was a hefty plate of food spiced and cooked to perfection with rice and the vegetables the lamb in particular was as good as I've ever had. Our waiter knocked off during our main but took the time to let us know and say goodbye, and was replaced by a lovely waitress who was as equally attentive and just as friendly. 5 Peronis and 2 coffees finished it off, all for 78 quid with the obligatory service charge. I was happy with that. Would I go back? Yes, 100% I would, the staff were perfect, the food was good, the surroundings are fine and the toilets were clean. Next time I visit my son I'll be re-visiting Sade restaurant too.

This was an impromptu visit, we were in the area, hungry, I had a hankering for Turkish food & my partner has a taste card - Sade popped up in our search & everything came together nicely. We had a lovely meal at Sade.The staff were all incredibly friendly & welcoming, the atmosphere relaxed & easy & the food was delicious. I ate my own body weight in a mixture of hot & cold Meze. The hummus was the most delicious & creamy I have tasted to date (& yes, I have eaten it in Turkey). We didn't get onto the main dishes but I saw a lamb shank waft by & it was enormous, I will definitely make a trip back to sample the wider menu as the Meze was just so tasty I wasn't able to fit even a wafer thin kebab in! We both left feeling satisfied, both in terms of a full tummy & a happy tummy. I left wishing I lived closer or perhaps they could consider relocating south east? Worth a visit if you enjoy Turkish food.

Exmouth Market is full of very trendy restaurants some of which are overpriced. On the day we came we only needed a light lunch and shared a mezze which was quite adequate. Pavement table. Good people watching. Interesting church opposite. House wine ok. Manager, Bruno , genuine and friendly.

We were welcomed very warmly and shown to our table; within a minute we had delicious bread and houmous which staved off the pangs of hunger for a while. I'm usually pretty decisive but spent ages browsing the extensive menu as everything sounded great. Our food was delicious and well presented. I particularly enjoyed the Turkish red wine. Our waiter was a bit of a character and convinced me to try Ayran - a traditional Turkish drink consisting of yoghurt, water and salt. It wasn't as bad as it sounds but I'm not keen to repeat the experience! We'd certainly eat here again if we were in the area.

Staying local and wanted to get out of hotel. Found this little gem. The most flavoured meat I've had in a long time. Eating alone sadly as away with work, but very warm atmosphere with friendly service. Great prices and portions. Hummus amazing with wonderful bread. Save room for some bakalava.

As usual, delicious food and great service. Price range to fit all budgets, staff friendly and accommodating.

We looked for somewhere local to eat following a last minute overnight stay in London on a very wet evening. This restaurant was close to our hotel and very convenient.Houmous was fantastic and I don't normally even like houmous!Lamb shank fantastic as was the lamb shish.Highly recommend.

I initially stumbled upon Sade by chance; having now visited a couple of times, I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant to almost anybody.The menu boasts a delectable range of starters, mains and desserts, all reasonably priced and affordable. Most of the mains are around £10-14, and due to the wide range of dishes on offer there really is something for everybody (Sade does some gorgeous vegetarian meals, including a vegetable moussaka that I would highly recommend). There are also some very generous set menus and meze platters on the menu, and it gets quite difficult to decide what to have! The food is some of the most tasty and well prepared that I have ever eaten, and the portion sizes are fairly ample. Even the little things, like the salad that comes with starters and mains, are delicious - the salad is really very tasty, made with fresh vegetables and topped with a lovely dressing.The house wine was of a high quality, and the servers are friendly and attentive - whilst the food tends not to come particularly quickly, it is always well worth the wait. The only thing that I would say is that a service charge (I think around 15%) is added to the bill automatically and this would appear to be non-optional.It's also worth noting that Sade is a member of the tastecard scheme: with a tastecard, the food works out very cheaply indeed - starters for approximately £2, mains at £5-7, and desserts at around £2.50. All in all, however, Sade is definitely worth trying with or without a tastecard.

Yet again we used the benefit of an Amazon Local voucher to try out a location we might otherwise miss out on.My partner loves a traditional roast dinner, so a 2 course dinner for 2 people with a bottle of wine for under £20 was too good to miss.On arriving at Exmouth Market we were initially taken aback to find that Sade was a Mediterranean restaurant, so we were a little unsure what sort of roast dinner would be supplied.No need to worry, the dinner was as good as any pub's, loads of tasty gravy (the critical thing for my partner), great creme brulee for dessert and the included bottle of wine was a very pleasant Sicilian Merlot. And all eaten al fresco - a great evening.

La comida me encanta, he ido muchas veces a cenar y el personal es muy amable. Sirven cerveza turca y tienen shisha, una comibinación dificil de encontrar en Londres. Es uno de mis restaurantes favoritos en Londres.

Have often walked past this restaurant and with a taste card is an easy choice. They have a fairly large area outside for al fresco dining, perfect for a warm summer's evening (have not been inside). Staff were accommodating when we showed them our taste card on arrival and were friendly throughout. Service was a little slow but we weren't in a hurry and happy to soak up buzzy atmosphere of our beloved exmouth market. And we were not disappointed with food when it did arrive. Good value and we will be back, I'm sure. Their lunchtime street food is also tasty and includes free bread and soft drink, bargain!

Returned last evening on a hot summer night to Sade in London's trendy Exmouth Market. I come here regularly for their Mediterranean healthy food and relaxed friendly atmosphere. Their Meze platter is great value with 10 vegetarian dishes on one plate. So is their Healthy Meal set menu.

One should not necessarily be cautious about choosing a traditional sunday lunch at a mediterranean style restaurant, especially when so called English pub grub outlets throw it together and pile it high. However, were were taken to this restaurant by good friends who had an Amazon deal; so when I got over the shock of what looked like leftover, stringy lamb pieces placed on top of veg with sad looking roasties and a lonely looking Yorkshire pud on the side, I was pleasantly surprised by the rather delicious and intense flavour of the sauce and the tenderness of the lamb. Plenty of wine, one bottle complementary per couple and great company made this a very pleasant sunday afternoon at relatively low cost. Our friends wisely ordered bread; not something I would normally do with a roast but in the absence of more potato, it was great for mopping up the flavoursome sauce. We sat outside in the sun and the combination of wine and bread made this a rather pleasant and a somewhat continental version of the sunday lunch experience. The staff looked like they had had a late night and although they appeared somewhat worse for wear at first, they soon became friendly and attentive. Perhaps I should return to check out their main fare before commenting further.

I keep giving 5 Star reviews because, firstly I'm easily pleased and secondly I tend to visit restaurants because I'm using an Amazon Local or a Woucher deal. This visit was with an Amazon Local deal costing £19 which was a 2 course Saturday/Sunday meal of roast chicken or roast lamb with vegetables followed by a dessert, and including a bottle of white or red wine. We chose the white wine which was nice enough no complaints. The roast chicken was succulent with a lovely gravy, and the lamb was nice as well, in slices. Only slight winge was the fact that we only got two roast potatoes, which looked a bit lonely on the plate. Followed by a nice baked lemon cheesecake.Next time we went with the same deal, they had completely sold out of the roast dinners, so we were offered meals from the main menu, rather than coming back another time. We settled for chicken and lamb koftas with rice and veg which were lovely and tasty, followed by a hefty piece of chocolate cake. Top marks for Sade giving us those deals rather than us having to return at a later date. I'd definitely go here again with another deal like that!

In a trendy part of town. Lovely atmosphere with nice food. Staff were attentive. But quite pricey for what your getting. It's a good mid week dinner.

We had used a wowcher in May for a steak each and a bottle of wine for 2. I booked the table online which was very easy. It was a lovely sunny day so we preferred to sit outside of the restaurant, so the waitress put outside a table for us, which was very nice touch from them. Steak and the side was tasty. The wine was averagely, nothing special. The waiters (especially the Hungarian waiter) were polite and friendly. In the end of the main course the Hungarian waiter offered (does not included in the woucher) desserts, so we tried the chocolate mousse which was the best dessert we ever had. In overall everything was delicious and great service.

We had not reserved and were welcomed and given a table. nice waiter and waitress served us and the food is nothing unusual but was fine. the vegetables a bit salty. The rice was fluffy and the chicken was a bit blanned but well grilled. they have outside seating too and its baby and wheelchair friendly.

Ok meal, decent service in pleasant surroundings with good facilities, however service charge was more than 25% of amount paid! Would have happily tipped but felt offended by this 'demand'. Roast dinner was a different take but tasty, nice crisp outside, fluffy inside roast potato but just the one, and the yorkshire pudding didn't make an appearance at all. Delicious dessert, all in all a good, even very good experience made average by hidden charge.

Four of us ate here for dinner - we skipped starters but our main courses and desserts were all really tasty and came out promptly. Our waiter was new but he was friendly and attentive. It was a Saturday night at 8.30pm and the restaurant was only half full but had a nice atmosphere. Will go back the next time we're in the area.

We chose the 'Healthy Meal' rather than spend ages deciding between the different individual dishes. As the title of this review suggests, everything was reasonably competent without making us determined to return the next time we're in London.Service was good - attentive without being fussy; the surroundings - modern UK restaurant.Next time? We'll try somewhere else.

Tried this restaurant on the off chance in Exmouth market which has many restaurants to choose from some exceptional.The menu is a bit of a mixture but tends toward a Greek/ Turkish style with European thrown in.The food was ok rather than good and the service a bit mixed - we seemed to change waiter every course.Not sure about the bill - we were given a discount which was reversed ( mistake on the till) but the service charge was applied to the higher amount without the discount!. Maybe they need a better till.

Visited yesterday on Amazon Local deal for Roast dinner for two. Surroundings Ok, but atmosphere very nice and relaxed. We had the roast lamb and whilst I agree with another reviewer that the portions were very small, the quality of the food was excellent and the flavours made every mouthful a pleasure. The lamb was cooked beautifully and the accompanying sauce was excellent. This was folowed by a very small slice of lemon cheesecake with lemon sorbet. again, each mouthfollow was a pleasure. Despite the size of the portions, my daughter and I were completely satisfied. As the saying goes, less is more and it was certainly true in this case. I will certainly be going back for more. The only reason for rating Sade a four and not a five is this is not a fine dining restaurant and the decor is a little tired, other than that, what a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Ho mangiato in questo locale con un gruppo di amici e ho scelto l'Health Menu. Il servizio è stato veloce e cordiale, il cibo di buona qualità e in porzioni più che discrete. La location è apprezzabile. E allora cos'è mancato? A un certo punto della cena mi sono accorto che nel mio piatto di carne, camuffato dall'insalata, c'era un bel bruco verde che si muoveva! Ho fatto notare la cosa alla cameriera, la quale ha portato via il piatto...salvo riconsegnarlo dopo pochi istanti senza più l'insetto incriminato. Peccato che il cibo fosse lo stesso!!Inqualificabile: in casi del genere ci si scusa col cliente, lo si fa aspettare qualche minuto in più e poi si serve una pietanza nuova e non la stessa senza intruso.Un gesto maleducato, ma soprattutto di scarsa intelligenza commerciale.

Best value Amazon Local meal deal ever. Warm welcome from Portuguese waiter. Wine and tap water served instantly over friendly exchange with him while we ordered. First course (cold) a delicious selection of mediterranean tastes: hummus/ couscous/aubergine etc. A leisurely gap waiting for main courses: steak done exactly as asked; sea bass fillets (2!) in a memorable caper sauce and really good al dente vegetables. Generous helpings both. The place was gently buzzing from arrival (6.30 pm) till we left (8.30 pm) with tables that were clearly as relaxed as we were. Definitely to be repeated.

Cannot believe that this restaurant was voted a top Trip Advisor Restaurant (?2013)!Two out of the four meals were mixed up. We were served dishes we didn't order! Had to wait significant times before replacement meals were were subsequently served. One of the two correct meals served was cold, chips soggy. The "salad" that was served with two of the meals was sliced iceberg lettuce, a bit of cut up tomato and cucumber with what appeared to be a ready made cream based sauce. On the top of that THE RESTAURANT INCLUDED A 12% SERVICE FEE in the bill !!! TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE.Mel & Mark

Very bad experience food was bad ordered the meze platter was frezzin cold ..when I complained they said that it was a cold dish although it never said on the menu..vineleaves were tinned not fresh if you can avoid this place you should ..don't waste your money .Very disappointing...

went for sunday lunch with amazon voucher roast dinner bottle of wine the service was ok the wine was good the resturant empty we both had roast lamb which was full of fat and saturated in garlic awful the rest of the roast consisted of one yes one small new potato one carrott yorkshie and some runner beans i did not eat it and was offered a coffee on the house laughable still had to pay over a fiver service charge please dont go for roast dinner you will be dissapointed .

Saw an offer on Wowcher - had a lamb skewer and Falafel starter followed by the Sea Bass main, mashed potato and vegetables - DELICIOUS!Service was fantastic as we'd reserved we didn't have to wait. A friendly atmosphere, pleasant staff.Look forward to going again.

We ate here on Wednesday night . The waiting staff were friendly. We had a wowcher deal which made the meal and wine great value.The food was excellent and the bottle of red wine superb.

Pop down to Exmouth Market and find this restaurant tucked away behind the street food vendors as it is worth the effort.We had a An Amazon Voucher deal which made it even more value.We had Sea Bass and Steak for the mains which was very tasty and well presented plus a nice bottle of Rose Wine(should have been red or white but they let us have the Rose)and our waiter was very helpful with a smile on his face.We were seated quickly and presented with bread and humours while we waited for our mains.All in all a good dining experience and Exmouth Market was buzzing with people which made people watching very entertaining .A good place to meet friends for a touch of Turkish cuisine.The menu was varied and good size portions.

Good start, seemed busy but they still sat us down quickly with no fuss, owner was a nice guy. Waiter 1 was a bit of a tool but he was quickly replaced by waiter 2 who was much better. In fact he seemed to be the only one who could cope with a busy room. None of the others could. witnessed one table get their mains delivered while they were still eating their starters!! Our boy couldn't do enough for us. food was good, decent selection, decent portions. all tasted good. baklava with pistachio ice cream was a definite winner. although we weren't let down there were a lot of people around us who seemed to be having problems. I'll let them write their own reviews our experience was pretty good. mainly due to our waiter, wish I could remember his name! glad we got him and not one of the others.

What a great place.plenty of choice offered.the staff were all very friendly and helpful.the food was served hot and very tasty.we had one of the many set menus on offer at various prices for those on limited budgets. We were given humous and bread with our drinks while we waited for the starters.the bill did not have the bread and humous on it, free.nice touch.nice atmosphere, full or empty.very relaxing.we were suprised when the bill arrived that it was so cheap that they must have made a mistake.do not miss out on this place.don't walk by. Go in and enjoy an evening of great food at good prices served by wonderful staff.

Devo dire che la prima sera che siamo arrivati a Londra ci siamo fermati per cenare in questo ristorante...siamo stati accolti bene ma quando ci hanno portato il cibo su alcune cose siamo rimasti veramente delusi...senza contare che è un ristorante molto caro e SOLO DI SERVIZIO CI HANNO CHIESTO QUASI 10 STERLINE senza contare il pagamento della cena molto cara e anche la birra viene servita in bottiglia e anche di marca scadente...solo il servizio si salva...ASSOLUTAMENTE DA EVITARE...

The service was great and attentive but the food shockingly awful. I had the lamb tagine that was all bone, when I asked for more meat I received a slightly more meaty bone. I felt disgusted so asked for another dish and got uncooked moussaka. I gave up. So the they did try to give good service but in the end the food was just awful.

I was trying to use a '50% off your food bill' voucher that they advertise on Vouchercloud and they just made it impossible. First they said it was only valid if you chose two specific main courses and a bottle of wine (despite the voucher said it was valid on ALL food & drink); then, they changed their mind and told me the voucher was a £5 off on all food and drinks. Before they changed their mind again, I cancelled my reservation and decided I won't try this restaurant after all.

Popped in here early before going to the theatre. Made very welcome and given hummus before ordering. Wine was good and the steak was very good. Very reasonable and nice atmosphere. Will return.

Went to the Sade with friends while visiting London for the weekend. We were served by friendly staff, given a plate of hummus & pitta while we decided what to order. Try the meze plate its very good. We all enjoyed our meals.

We came here from Sadlers Wells with our friends who had dined here before. The quality of the food and service was excellent and we will certainly return.

We found the Sade restaurant using a Vodafone special offer, and thought it would be a convenient place to eat before a visit to Saddlers Wells.We were the first customers when we arrived at 6pm and were greeted by a friendly waiter, shown to our tables, and soon given a nice plate of bread, humus and salsa sauce to nibble at while we perused the menu.I chose the avocado, tomato and mozzarella starter, which was very nice, followed by the mixed grill. This was really excellent with a good selection of incredibly tender meats, nice chips and very tasty vegetables. A selection of ice cream finished off the meal nicely. Throughout we found the service friendly and polite - even if a little restrained. Given that we were on a 50% voucher we paid £18 each which was extremely good value for a very large three course meal. Even at full price I would consider returning.

I arranged for a group of 25 to eat here after a show. We had the £16.95 set menu which was tremendous value with an array of choices for the main and dessert courses. The starter was a selection of meze dishes but instead of giving you a lot of dishes from which to help yourself we each had an individual plate with a full selection . Wine was very competitively priced and as a result a,lot was consumed . Service was first class . Everyone enjoyed themselves and we all agreed it would be a great place to return to

Came here before a trip to sadlers wells and this menu certainly pulled us in.Walked past the usual Indian and Italian places.. nice but didnt hit the spot until I noticed sade.A great mix of med/turkish cuisine with plenty of meat and vegetarian dishes to suit our party.The food certainly didnt dissapoint neither and did the price considering we had 3 courses with wine and coffees.I would highly recommend to any one wanting a meal that isnt your usual Indian/chinese etc...Will be back..

My friends and I went to this restaurant last night and 2 of my friends ordered the surf and turf. Well if you can really call the dish that way... There was a piece of fillet and only 1 prawn. Tell me about "a surf" with only one prawn to eat. I complained to the manager Kadir and he was comprehensive, he brought back two more prawns each. That was still not a lot considering it was one of the most expensive meal on the menu, but the manager did his best to keep us satisfied which I really appreciated. Overall the food is good, the service is good but just you need to avoid going with this dish

We popped into Sade last night, as part of a restaurant-hopping tour of Exmouth Market with friends and at first it seemed quite a pleasant place. The two waitresses were friendly, the cocktails were nice and the food seemed palatable.However, they gave us a dish by mistake (that we ate, thinking it was something we'd ordered as it matched the description). When our actual ordered dishes arrived, we queried what the first dish was and the waitress looked like she was about to be beaten in the backroom by her manager and was genuinely scared.What transpired then was a catalogue of rudeness, time-wasting, horrible guilt-trips and bad attitude from the two managers. At first the waitress asked the chef who said we could have the dish for free as it was their mistake. We thought this was a nice solution and decided to leave a nice tip as we'd quite enjoyed the dish.Then when the bill came they had put the full price of this mystery dish on there and got quite rude when we dared to ask what was going on. What followed was bout half an hour of us waiting around while the two managers berated the waitress publicly, kept shooting us dirty looks and generally arguing amongst themselves in an ever-increasing charade of awkwardness, so much so that the two ladies in our group felt so uncomfortable that they had to leave. The manager came over and started saying that he'd have to pay for the dish, it was our fault somehow and lurked around waiting for us to concede (which we didn't out of principle as they'd been so rude already about the whole thing).Two of us stayed there, patiently waiting and trying to ignore the bitter vibes from the managers. After they'd wasted about 30 minutes of our time, one of them came over with the bill, where they'd not only left the mystery dish price on there, but also added another thing just to spite us. I pointed this out and said it wasn't fair to charge us for something we'd never ordered and in a huff eventually they produced another (correct) bill.We wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible as the atmosphere was so unpleasant, so we paid in cash (service was included) and waited patiently for our change. After a while we stood pointedly next to the manager while he cashed up, thinking that surely they would at least give us the change. He didn't and made a point of turning his back on us and walking outside, having stolen our change. Genuinely shocking.The dish in question was their "Sade Special" which was the most ridiculously overpriced dish. £13.45 for something no bigger than their small plates.It doesn't surprise me whatsoever that Sade is always empty of customers. I thought it was because there were so many better options in Exmouth Market, but I realise now that its because the management team in Sade are such nasty bitter people and their customer service skills are non-existant. A shame as the waitresses were so pleasant and the food wasn't bad, but it was a truly horrible experience and I wouldn't recommend anyone to go there.

The Sade restaurant is amazing.I have been going there till I was 3!It is Turkish.we normally have Meze and mixed grill or orangeLentil soup. I like it very much.

Booked a table through Tastecard, when we arrived at the restaurant we were greeted with a big smile until I mentioned that we had booked and were using Tastecard. At this point we were taken to the back of the restaurant. We placed our order and it took 10 minutes to come back and tell me that my starter wasnt available which I find hard to believe as it was 2pm on a Saturday afternoon probably the busiest night they have. The food was good quality but the service shocking. Not once were we asked if everything was ok, also 12.5% service charge added to the bill which under normal circumstances I wouldnt mind paying,As previous reviewers have mentioned the toilets and the stairs to the toilets are not that clean. Would we return? NO I am assuming the lack of service was because we were using a Tastecard, if the restaurant doesnt want to take customers with the card dont accept the reservation.

Staying at nearby hotel and ventured out for food, happened across this place and gave it a go. Excellent service, good priced menu and not extortionate wine menu. Chose the set menu and wasn't disappointed. Fresh,flavoursome and good value, the chile sauce was excellent with the mixed grill. Slight isue with the bill was immediately rectified with no arguement. No complaints at all, very good food, good service - recommended.

Six of us had lunch there on Tuesday. The food was very good. However one of our party found a piece of plastic in his humous. Upon telling the waiter he just shrugged. He didn't offer to replace it nor deduct it from the bill He also smashed a glass at our feet which was also met with a shrug. Needless to say we didn't leave a tip!

Popped in for tea into Sade , I must say I had e healthy mezze platter for 12.00 And I was very happy , fresh and great tasting dish , little tired with the decor chairs have seen better days and decoration needs a overall but food wise can not complain really enjoyed it washed down with a couple of glasses of Sauvignon blanc Yes I would go again just the interior decor needs freshening up

Visited the restaurant while on business in London. Nice food, good service and fine wine. Will go back.

I went to Sade with a free friends after work for dinner. We used the taste card and it was really cheap The staff were very friendly, the food was ok, warm and tasty, I had the meat moussaka. It was a bit concerning that there weren't many people in the restaurant. But we still had a good time.

Trés bon restaurant proche holiday inn Kings cross, excellente cuisine, spécialités grecques principalement. Boreks très bons, moussaka excellente et mezes délicieux. Accueil sympathique, plusieurs formules avec 1,2 ou 3 plats. Baklava très bons au dessert. On est accueilli avec Houmous et pain traditionnel qui vous met en appétit. Menu enfant avec Fish & chips, spaghetti bolognaise. Les viandes et poissons sont également de bonnes qualités.Le service est trés satisfaisant.

I came across this restaurant with the Tastecard app and yes I admit I was attracted by the picture of Jude Law who was once in there.. We were showed to our table by the manager who was not very welcoming to say the least. Our waiters were then a lot nicer though. Food-wise, it was ok. We shared the fried mozzarella which I wouldn't recommend and the grilled prawns to start. I then had the kofte as a main. The meat was moist and really nice and had good flavours. The chili sauce that they give to compliment the main gives a nice kick to the meat.Now for the bad, a service charge of 12.5% is automatically added....As for the restaurant itself, I think they could do with some renovations and a massive spring clean. You can see that everything is dated and is starting to fall into pieces.. Also worth noting that the toilets and the stairs to go down there were disgusting.... Just hope that the kitchen is in a better state... For that reason, I won't be back to this restaurant.

Visited this restaurant last year, and gave it a good review. We returned again last week and were extremely disappointed. We had the set menu, and although the starters were good and well presented, the main course was poor. I had the chicken which was supposed to be marinated, but all you could taste was oil, both on the chicken and vegetables. My friend has honey glazed lamb, but there was no taste of the honey and was very fatty. Requested small portion of potatoes which the waiter said they would do and give extra vegetables, but this did not happen. There was a carrot and courgette which was not even cut up. Even the drinks that we particularly asked for 'no ice' arrived full of ice. A very disappointing evening. Not likely to return

Good Mediterranean (majority Turkish) cuisine at a very reasonable price.We (group of 7) ate on a late cold Friday afternoon (4pm) early evening in January, it was empty so can not tell you what the atmosphere is like.The restaurant decor is modern and minimalist, table and seating was very comfortable.The service was very good and quick (would expect that as we were the only customers).Probably the cheapest restaurant in Exmouth Market serving Mediterranean cuisine.

Delicious meze, great value main course. Kids enjoyed spagetti bolognese (large kids portion). Good atmosphere attentive and helpful staff. Called in on a Staurday night, seated straight away. Fab.

The restaurant offers Eastern mediterranean foodof high quality. We had the choice between a variety of inexpensive lunch menues. The platters of with a variety of starters were all excellent.

We called in just by chance, on a quiet Sunday night, as we were staying in a nearby hotel, and glad we did. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent (we chose from the set menu, as we liked the idea of being able to try all the starters, meze style).At £15.95 per person for the food, it was excellent value and the wine list was reasonably priced as well.I will definitely be visiting again!

Arrived on a busy Friday evening without booking, & were offered a table straight away- 2 adults & 3 children. All had the Express Menu except one child (child's meal). At £9.90 for starter & main, excellent value. Good portions, great service, excellent food! Highly recommend the Mix Meze starter. Would definitely recommend & go back.

My favourite location in Exmouth Market which is one of my favourite places to meet up with old friends in London. Very good value and wines that won't blow a budget.

Dieses Restaurant, das sich mediterran nennt, allerdings eher einer Mischung von griechischer und marokkanischer Küche huldigt, liegt direkt am Exmouth Market, an dem für alle Gaumen ein Vielerlei von Angeboten waltet. Wenn das Sade sich behaupten kann, so liegt das sicher daran, dass er für durchaus akzeptable Preise (es gibt ein Express Menü für weniger als 10 Pfund) eine solide Küche mit handwerklich akzeptablen Gerichten bietet. Vorspeisenteller (eher llibanesische Mezze in kleiner oder großer Portion) sind schon fast eine volle Mahlzeit und sehr appetitlich. Kleine Fleisch- oder Fischgerichte erwecken nie den Eindruck, als handele es sich um aufgewärmte Gerichte (wie es bei anderen Etablissements am Exmouth Market der Fall sein soll). Die Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter sind freundlich und durchaus fix (vor allem, wenn man vor der Bestellung ansagt, wieviel Zeit man mitbringt). Mit der Weinauswahl sieht es eher schlicht aus, wobei aber gilt, dass die Preise eher moderat sind.Eine Art Geheimtipp in der hart umkämpften Restaurant-Scene in der Gegend.

Well presented delicious food and very good value. I've now eaten from both the express menu and the "Healthy Meals". It's a perfect place if you want a quick meal before a matinee at Sadler's Wells. We went at lunchtime on a January Saturday when the weather was awful so it wasn't terribly busy, however the service was excellent.

Sono stata a cena la Vigilia di Natale ed è stata davvero una bella sorpresa.Nonostante ci fosse il locale pieno, il servizio ed il cibo sono stati molto buoni. Eravamo in 2 ed abbiamo preso entrambi il menù che comprendeva 6 diversi antipasti tipici (ottimi i falafel con l'hummus e le melanzane), un piatto principale ed un assaggio di 3 dessert tipici. Sia la carne che il pesce erano cucinati ottimamente e le verdure sembravano cotte al momento (finalmente un posto dove non le servono stracotte!).I camerieri sono stati svelti e cordiali e si sono meritati il servizio! Alla fine abbiamo speso 23 sterline a testa e devo dire che da nessun'altra parte avremmo speso meno e mangiato così bene per la cena della Vigilia!Tornerò sicuramente.

Faced with only a few limited options on xmas eve, Sade's doors were open, and staff welcoming. It would be interesting to see what it's like on a busy night as it's a great space (with a curious mixture of styles for the decor). The complimentary hummus was fantastic, and a house red of Merlot very drinkable! The lamb shanks fell off the bone, and the grilled prawns beautifully seasoned. Only complaints were that the veg with the shank was a limp mess (but flavoursome). The homemade chilli dip (like a salsa verde) was amazing.One niggle is that the menu is far too extensive. A lot of very similar dishes under different headings, in different portion sizes. All that meant is that it took a little longer to order, and more wine was drunk!

We ate at Sade on Christmas night. The place was pretty crowded. The hummus was as good as hummus I have eaten in Israel and Jordan. The other food was good. Clean inside. Staff was just so-so but it might have been because they were busy.

Picked this restuarant for a birthday meal as my friend has a Taste card (50% of food bill at participating restuarants) and Sade was on the list.We found Sade friendly and relaxed and everybody enjoyed the food. We had a mid-priced wine from the list which was delicious. A very pleasant evening.

We were looking for a restaurant that was open on a Sunday afternoon, prior to attending a concert at the Barbican in London. A quick perusal of one of the multitude of restaurant booking sites threw up the Sade Restaurant and Bar. Firstly the good. The staff were attentive without being all over you. When we arrived we received a very nice warm welcome and were taken to our table. On the booking form we did happen to request a table by the window. We were actually given a table just about as far away from one as was possible.The complimentary warm bread and houmous was very pleasant and the waiter took the time to go through the various menu options and dining packages that were available. As noted by an earlier review, the drinks when ordered came promptly. This was only marred by the waiter bringing the wrong drink having mixed up the beer I ordered with another diner's choice.We both ordered form the theatre menu. The starter options were a little thin on the ground, being just four. There was a red lentil soup, falaffels, deep fried mozarella and an advocado dish. I plumped for the deep fried mozarella and my other half for the advocado. The mozarealla, three pieces with a side salad, was actually quite pleasant, but really very bland, the advocado tricolour was a few slices of advocado with a few slices of tomato and few bits of mozarella. It was all presented very nicely.Having finished our starter, the plates were taken and within a couple of minutes our main course was there - all a bit too quick for my taste. When the mains came, a special mixed grill for me and the vegetarian moussaka for my partner have to say that there were a little disappointed. My wife's moussaka was at best luke warm. My mixed grill, if you can call one piece of lamb kofte, two small pieces of grilled lamb and two even smaller pieces of grilled chicken, a mixed grill was disappointing. The meat was greasy and the rice that came with it was very salty. The vegetable side dish was very pleasant thoughI decided to forgo the limited desert options on our particular chosen menu. My wife went for the baklava and instantly wished that she hadn't. I headed straight for the coffee.A word of warning. Should you need to use the toilets, be very careful. The stairs are very steep. I cannot actually remember if there is a handrail, from memory i dont think that there is. If you are the slightest it unsteady on your feet or have issues going up and down stairs, i would suggest you go elsewhere. Also, the toilets themselves were not that clean.Finally a word on gratuities. A discretionary 12.5% service charge is automatically added to your bill. Yes, I know it is discretionary, but I still think that the decision to tip or not, and how much to tip should be up to the diner. If the service is average, I will tip 10%, if it is good, I will tip15% and if it is very good I will tip 20%. If it is lousy i will leave 10p ! In this case the service was exceptional and deserved a higher tip than the automatically added 12.5%, but I did not give it, because i do not like this automatic adding of a tip. As I said, it should be up to meSo conclusions. In that part of London there are not that many options available for pre-theatre dining other than Indian, so we were pleased to find somewhere to eat at 4:30 on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant itself was nicely laid out. As I said, we requested a table by the window and ended up in an alcove at the back of the restaurant, despite a couple of window tables being clearly available. The service was very good but the food was really not that interesting. Perhaps it was down to us choosing the wrong menu. Would I go there again - sadly the answer that is No. Would I recommend it to friends - again I have to say no. If I had to give marks out of 10, I guess 5 would be about the score

We came here, as my dad had visited under its previous ownership and I was not disappointed. Within a short while of arriving, we were presented with a lovely creamy houmous and warm breads whilst mulling over the menu. Drinks came promptly with a smile.We both chose the mixed menu labelled as healthy (not sure how deep fried cheese is healthy but it was delicious!) and it came beautifully presented with 9 separate little pieces, including a filo cheese samosa type thing, broad beans with a yoghurt, a little delicious aubergine and tomato stew and a falafel ball, with perfectly cooked lamb and chicken skewers on the side not to mention more bread and houmous! There was only one part I was not as keen on but that's because am not keen on raw onion. My dad just about squeezed in some baklava after and we had mint tea. Could have rolled out of there, was very full!Service was friendly, not rushed and next time I'm in town, will make the effort to find it again

After a beautiful performance at Sadlers Wells what was fitting was a lovely at Sade Restaurant. Atmosphere was perfect on a very wet Saturday night. All three courses was worth waiting for. Highly recommended.

Went to Sade restaurant for a lunch with a team of colleagues and we all liked it. - the interior is very nice and pleasant- the menu is Mediterranean, with a good selection of seafood, meat and vegetarian dishes- the food is delicious!- the service needs to improve a bit, they forgot a couple of our drink orders, but it is not a big concern

We craved Turkish food after a full day at the Olympic park. SADE came highly recommended by our daughters Turkish friend. Though it was quite late, we managed to get a table and sit down to a lovely meal. There aren't very many restaurants in this area but there are a few of them on this street. The prices were average and comparable to other restaurants on the street. They even had a 2 course dinner special for about 10 pounds and a lunch special for about 7 pounds. There were 4 of us and between us we ordered a lamb shank, a mixed grill ( part of the 2 course dinner special) and a spicey lamb stew. All were fanastic and authentic. We wanted baklava which was on the menu but were advised it wasn't great that day. Honesty is very much appreciated. So instead had the chocolate cake and lemon cheese cake to share all around. Fantastic !!! Will come back again.

We eat chicken and felafel ... And very good salmon. If u are lucky in front of restaurant ... Dancing swing room (after dinner). Nice people inside.

The express menu has to be one of the best value meals in London. Love the filo pastry parcels and the mixed grill

4 of us ate there in mid-June. Its situated in a now very upmarket area and we expected to pay a far higher price for our very good food and 1st class service. Well worth a visit.

Went to Sade on a Saturday for a buffet brunch with a friend and I kind of regretted it as soon as I entered and saw the food. The arrangement was really poor and sad looking and the food was just ok. The waitress didn't really know which dish was vegetarian and which one wasn't, so she started to open all the pastry rolls on the buffet table up from their side in order to find out what the filling was about. She was surely trying to be helpful however I also thought that her behaviour was very odd! The restaurant was practically empty and now I know why! I wouldn't go back.

Sade provided a well needed respite from a miserable London day in March 2012. We chose the express lunch menu, which was both quick and good value. The red lentil soup, while not bursting with nutty lentil flavor, still went down a treat. The main courses were also quite good. Service was attentive, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

went here on Saturday night, booked on line so got 20% off the food bill which made it great value. So much to choose from, we chose falafals and sesame chicken skewers to share for starters, both great, I then had the lamb shank chef special, yum yum, my husband had the mixed grill which he loved - he also loved the fresh chilli sauce they brought with it. They also give complimentary humus and bread when you arrive. I had the turkish white wine which was actually very good - much to my surprise. Staff were friendly and attentive, restaurant was busy and had a good buzz about it. One minor criticism was that our mains came a bit too quickly after our starters. Would definitely go back next time we're in London.

Fantastic food, catering for everyone. We had a vegetarian and a young child in our group and nobody was disappointed with the menu. We loved it so much we went back for a second night (we were only in London for 3 nights) the staff were very friendly.

I went to Sade with a group of family to celebrate a 30th birthday. The decor is great and the food is variable - my chicken shish was lovely, the chicken tagine however was apparently very bland with little to recommend it. However, what was really disappointing was the attitude of the staff. The woman in charge was incredibly abrupt, barking at us, and both she and a young waitress asked us for our orders almost as soon as we'd been given the menus - and then proceeded to do that multiple times - we were not lingering over them unnecessarily and the restaurant was far from full so there was really no reasonable cause behind it. I literally had my dessert menu for a minute when the waitress asked if we were ready to order - I said give us a couple more minutes and she was back at my side in under 2 mins! This happened numerous times throughout the evening. I think the staff there need to understand that they can really put a downer on someone's special occasion - they need to think about their attitude!

We stumbled upon this restaurant whilst strolling out one night with friends on a visit to London. The hostess joked "you'll love it or you don't have to pay!" She was evidently confident about her food and had a right to be - it was delicious! The surroundings were modern, clean and welcoming, the service efficient. Our party of 4 comprised some vegetarians and they loved the variety as much as we did. We ate from the set menu - it was varied, delicious and catered for the largest appetites. We will be visiting again next time we are in London.

We went as a large group and the place was very accommodating. Food was great, have the mixed meze platter!

Das Sade bietet mediterrane Küche (eher Griechisch und Marokkanisch angehaucht) ist im Exmouth Market gelegen! Ein sehr netter kleiner Markt - empfehlenswert für einen kurzen Bummel...Die Speisenauswahl ist gut, und die Gerichte sind sehr gut und schön zubereitet. Die Zutaten scheinen sehr frisch zu sein - es hat wirklich alles sehr lecker geschmeckt! Zu mittag gibt es günstige Menüs, 5,95 - 7,95 Pfund! Die Portionen sind genau richtig. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und die Atmosphäre war sehr angenehm. Empfehlenswert!

I've come to Sade every day for lunch for the last month - that's how great I find it. I stumbled upon it one day as it's been near work, and after one taste I was hooked. The restaurant itself has a clean, comfortable atmosphere - nothing tacky like you find in a lot of Mediterranean restaurants that use lots of stereotypical decorations. At each meal a basket of warm sesame bread and the most delicious hummus I've ever tried is brought to the table once you've ordered. They have a very extensive variety of food on their menu, but my favorite is the spinach and feta parcels for appetiser, and the seabass with vegetables and mashed potatoes for the main. Actually, as I'm a bit health conscious, I requested the dish without the potatoes and a double portion of vegetables (stir-fried and delicious!), which they were very happy to do for me. In fact, the service was friendly and prompt, and everyone was always very kind from day one. The prices are more than reasonable, and they have many fixed menu options and accept tastecards too.For price, service, atmosphere and quality of food, if I ever want a good Turkish meal in London, this is where I'd go.

Ate here in a large group on 19th October after a Sadler's Wells matinee. I booked the table online through the restaurant's website, which gave us a 20% discount on the food bill. [As an alternative to the online booking discount Sade also offer another discount if you show your theatre tickets when ordering]. It is confusing that the restaurant is called Sofra and Sade on Tripadvisor, when it's actual name is Sade, and there are two Tripadvisor sites for it under both names. There are also two websites.Most of us ordered from the Pre/Post theatre menu which is good value for money @ 2 courses for £12.95 or 3 for £14.95. Particularly enjoyed were the avocado, mozzarella and tomato starter, the mixed grill and the Sultan's Delight. Main course portions were a good size. Chocolate mousse and baklava were much enjoyed for dessert. The House wine is excellent value. A couple of us had the Healthy Eating set menu and this hot and cold meze was particularly beautifully presented as well as being delicious. A complimentary appetiser of warm sesame seed bread and hummous and free drinks with the bill were a nice addition. Service was unobtrusive and efficient and the atmosphere in the restaurant friendly. The seating was particularly comfortable too and we were not rushed through the meal in order to free up the tables. I'm completely bemused by the mixed reviews some people have posted and wonder if they are disgruntled competitors? I'm in my 50s, fussy about the quality of food, service and hygiene as I used to run my own catering business. In my view, Sade is an excellent choice for a good quality meal at a reasonable price within 5 mins walk of Sadler's Wells. All 12 in our Group have commented on how pleased they were to have discovered Sade and I'm sure we will all all eat there again soon.

Being in London and having a Turkish restaurant in Norwich (Yemek Yemek), we certainly needed to do some benchmarking in London.Me (chef and life time Turkish food cook), my brother, dad and husband had been advised by staff member working in the nearby Holiday Inn to try this Turkish restaurant. It was a great opportunity tfor us to dine in a different Turkish restaurant in comparison to the ones we had often been to on Green Lanes. Being a chef and knowing the Turkish taste, I told the owner and chef of Sade "This is the best Turkish food I have had in London". We have tried very expensive posh Turkish restaurants and also cheaper-cafes in London but none of them gave us the experience we had in Sade. We shared our dishes including Lamb Tagine,Sultans Delight and a mixed grill.They were very well seasoned and beautifally cooked. The Lamb Tagine is definetely is to die for! As a chef I can easily tell you that Sade uses the freshest and tastest ingredients .I am really dissapointed to see bad comments about Sade's food as they certainly dont deserve them. As a Turkish person, take my word for it try Sade to enjoy Turkish food!

Discovered this one by fluke. Had great lunch. Grilled chicken with vegetable and rice. Worth an effort.
