Sumak Restaurant in Haringey

Me and my wife just visited this place and were served by 2 outstanding waiters (Alina and Ryan). Honestly, they were just so kind and accommodating and made us have such a wonderful time! We were also fasting and they provided us with dates and food served just in time to break our fast. The food was amazing, I really recommend the lamb bayti and sutlac for dessert. I will definitely be coming back here with my family!

Just amazing I really enjoyed every thing about my evening. Top class

5 stars all round but excels with its complimentary homemade bread and sauces. Garlic sauce was deliciously yoghurty and garlicky with chopped herbs and the chili sauce was rich with tomato pulp and crushed fresh chilies and herbs. Bread was best I’ve ever had at a Turkish restaurant spongey and with a delicate topping. Lamb shish was succulent and super tasty and Adana was toast too. Crunchy red cabbage cucumber and tomato salad was tasty too.

I ordered delivery and it was one of the most tasteless food I’ve ever had. Adana was under seasoned and bland. Chicken shish pieces were cut so chunky that some of them were still pink inside. Overall a very disappointing order given the relative high price.

Wonderful food, friendly quick service, and wonderful atmosphere. I give it top marks. Only let down is it's on the main road, and it's a nightmare to find a parking spot.

The quality of the food has been changed and also not checking your vegetables before deliver it to your client that’s wrong, I always order lentil soup for years but lately change address further center, I thought be far to reach hot. indeed, problem start with driver who was entering wrong roads back and forwards for few time, and receive warmish soup no tasty as before with off vegetable 🥺

Unreal service alongside some top tier prices! Got the two person sharer which was super generous portion wise, with reasonable price, the food was next level too! Can’t wait to go back!

DIVINE food, dips amazing and the bread is to die for!

Loved it here the food was amazing, staff where very friendly and food came out quickly. Definitely going back again

Such good value. Amazing food and lovely service - the ezme cold meze is amazing.

Absolutely loved this restaurant- you felt welcomed as soon as you walked through the door. The decor of the restaurant is reminiscent of Cappadocia or Santorini cave hotels. The food was divine- beautifully cooked lamb shish. They bring you bread and salad to start and turkish delight at the end. The waiting staff were amazing- it's because of them that I'm giving a 5 star reviews- super friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend.

Absolutamente me encantó este restaurante - se sintió bienvenido tan pronto como entró por la puerta. La decoración del restaurante recuerda a los hoteles de Capadocia o de la cueva de Santorini. La comida era divina - shish de cordero muy bien cocinado. Te traen pan y ensalada para empezar y delicia turca al final. El personal de espera era increíble - es debido a ellos que estoy dando una crítica de 5 estrellas - super amable y atento. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Very nice food, very authentic, and decent size portions 👌

Great food, had called up just before and had a table waiting for us when we arrived. Really funny waiter

Great food great delivery all good

Super delicious food as always.

Staff should be trained how to treat the guests.

Absolutely delicious food! Amazing service and lovely atmosphere! Will come again.

Called the restaurant before ordering on just eat to clarify if lentil soup is thick and made properly I was assured it was proper but then I received more watery than thick soup which lacked flavor and definitely wasn’t made properly like I was told. That was the reason I called the restaurant not to receive watery soup like tasteless liquid but I was kind of deceived

I was told by a staff member that lentil soup is quite thick and proper lentil soup, however it’s more watery than thick and lacks flavor. Wouldn’t order again

The best Turkish food I have had in Harringey and I have tried most of them. Shared a shared platter with some friends, meat was cooked really well with lovely flavor and there is enough to feed you twice over. The service was great any time the bread or dips ran out they were refreshed in seconds. Highly recommend

El sobreprecio de la comida, la audacia de cobrar £ 15 por una hamburguesa y bebida está más allá de mí y ni siquiera es tan bueno, hacer mejor comida o precio razonablemente

Friendly, polite and good service. Been here many times. My favourite restaurant in Crouch End.

Did the family platter for take away. Really good food and reasonable prices.

Waitress should of stayed at home Attitude stunk

I ordered 2 chicken shish kebabs and only got 1 salad!! Surely the kebabs should each have a salad. Not happy.

My favourite Turkish. Never disappointed by this place. It's simply delish!

Excellent, friendly service. The food was outstanding - I had a sea bass fillet dish

Lunch time so not alot of people

Excellent tasty Persian food So he to find this great restaurant Great hospitality

Always great food! Friendly and consistent! A real treat

I am the 1,000th review. The food there was really good

Delicious food and great service

Amazing food! What a discovery

We ate here every evening during our 4-day seminyak holiday. The food was very delicious, the business was very decent and the staff was very polite. You can go with peace of mind. Thank you very much to Kris who took care of us for 3 days. He's a very sweet, caring person. Lahmacun was great :)

Regularly order from here, never disappointed.

Been here once long time ago with London mates of which one is Turkish so you know it is proper!

Food was delightful. Arrived quickly.

Have been here a few times, recently had dinner and food was stunning. Meat was cooked to perfection, couldn't fault anything. Quick, friendly service. Best Turkish I've had in the area.

Great Restaurant. Will definitely be back.

Delicious food amazing service decent price. Will come back again

Always top quality service and the food is exceptional!!

Fui introducido por primera vez a Sumak por un amigo hace unos 2 años. Desde entonces es el único restaurante turco que frecuento. El servicio es excelente, el personal es amable, atento y no le importa que haga cambios en la comida. Por ejemplo, prefiero las patatas fritas al arroz, no hay problema. He estado en otros restaurantes donde me cobran extra por tales cambios. La calidad de la comida y la cocina es excelente. La ensalada también merece una mención honorífica: una buena variedad, finamente picada y siempre fresca. Como alguien con discapacidad tengo que mencionar el inodoro con discapacidad, la altura del inodoro es más alta que la mayoría y por lo tanto más fácil de levantarse. Lo más importante es que si el piso está mojado (agua), las baldosas no son resbaladizas. Me he encontrado con muchos otros restaurantes donde los pisos de baldosas húmedas han sido como pistas de hielo. Finalmente Sumak's ofrece un gran servicio de comida para llevar.

Lamb Ribs 19.95 seven substantial ribs with rice, bulgur wheat, salad and bread. As a lamb ribs fan, I was very satisfied and impressed with the price which is very competitive compared to prices in Green Lanes near me. Glad I took a chance on Sumak and would order again.

Soy un cliente a largo plazo, pero Sumak solía proporcionar una buena relación calidad-precio, así como buena comida. Sólo esto último es ahora cierto. Los propietarios han gastado dinero sin sentido en asientos nuevos, mesas, cubiertos cuando lo que había antes estaba bien. ¿Por qué pedir a los clientes que paguen por esto? Otros lo han mencionado, pero el servicio no está tan alerta como solía estarlo. ¡El negocio local de restaurantes es muy competitivo!

Love their food. Quick preparation, clean, tasty and good value for money.

The best and I mean the best Adana I've ever tried and I've tried adana in almost everywhere in North London including Hala, Gokyuzu, Kervan, capital, aksular, crystals, crouch end best kebab etc ( I could go on...). You can tell they use top quality lamb as it doesn't have the lamb after taste that you get with others. Incredible seasoning and to top it off, the rice is outstanding and the bread with the tomato paste is something completely different to other Turkish places, absolutely delicious! HIGHLY RECOMMEND peeps!

We just had a delivery from this fabulous restaurant. Please order from here. You will not be disappointed. 6 stars, made my night!

Amazing food amazing service. No complaints

Still the worst. Rude person on the phone (said he was manager) who charged us (£15 or £19.90 depending on pick up/uber eats) for this so called "hot mixed Mezze platter". Probably one of the worst to date. The sucuk sausage was practically charcoal. AVOID. £42 total cost for a starter basically

Great food excellent service 👌 highly recommended will see you soon 😊 possibly the best kebab I have ever eaten 😀 😋 returned time and time again 😀

this place is the tastiest turkish restaurant i’ve been to they know how to cook meat properly that’s all im sayin the lamb ribs are bloody beautiful just wish they gave you more haha but im greedy xXx

Great restaurant! The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend

Thanks for the salad! Kebabs were delicious.

A bit underwhelming. The food (a shish kebab and a meze) was fine but not exceptional and was over-priced. The welcome at the door was good but a waiter who can't show a smile was disappointing.

Delicious. good portions Mixed Kebabs etc. But why no drinks available on the menu???

Great food, with friendly service and outstanding value! Our go-to options are chicken shish, cold mixed meze or mixed kebab.

Always a lovely meal here , a great place to take children.

Better than any restaurant on Green Lanes! This is my second time at Sumak and I’m just so impressed by everything. The restaurant is really spacious and has nice ambient lighting. They have a mix of smaller and larger tables so perfect setup for a meal with a friend or a larger group. We ordered a large platter for 4 but it could honestly feed 6. They’re very generous with portions and I like that! The meat itself was succulent and the lamb chops were extremely tender. Not easy to get those right but they did and more. The wings were juicy too and the bread was warm and I enjoyed the mezes. Oh and the waiters were great too! Very attentive, friendly and made us feel welcome. I’m so glad this is a restaurant near me and I will definitely be going here often.

Very lovely place, friendly staff, great service!! Great for vegetarian too

I love this restaurant! The first time I visited Sumak was in 2017, and since then, I've been returning all the time. Ibrahim, the owner, is amazing! He is always present, making sure that everyone feels welcomed and satisfied. Additionally, the staff is so friendly; I love that I never have to wait for them to assist me with something. They are all efficient, fast, and always smiling! The food is amazing! I never regret eating there; the portions are big, which I love because we can take it home if we don't finish. I truly recommend this restaurant; it is one of my favorites!

Food had leaked all over the bag and oil was everywhere

Sumak was our favourite Turkish restaurant of all time. The food is still amazing, however the last time we were there, it appears they have stopped serving the delicious bread and salad that is customary in most Turkish restaurants... and was one of our favourite parts of dining there. Now you get a very small portion of both on the side of your plate when your main course arrives. This seems incredibly mean spirited and unnecessary, considering Sumak is one of the priciest Turkish restaurants in the area. We won't be visiting again unless they go back to the experience they gave their customers before. A shame.

The food is delicious, environment is clean and the staff are amazing, especially the manager. The kids get sweet after meals so, they always want to go back.

1st time here. Great food, great staff, great experience. Definitely recommend to everyone.

I usually love sumak, and was only here on 20th Jan and again yesterday 3rd feb and in between those 2 dates they have new staff and a whole new serving system with smaller portions. We were sat on the other side of the restaurant and had one lady waitress for the section compared to 3-4 for the other side. She wasn’t very smiley and when we questioned the change of service she just said we changed it - with an ‘end of’! Approach. It’s really put me off visiting again and after letting friends know of this experience they have too said if it stays like this they will no longer visit either. Really sad for it to change as it use to be such a friendly place to go when friends and family of all ages.

Serious 👏 heavy 👏 juicy 👏 meaty 👏 munch. Best Turkish in Crouch End but also only one I've been too

Super friendly staff at this restaurant. I order takeaways regularly and the food is a decent price for quality kebabs. Highly recommend Lamb Shish and Greek Salad.

anyways fantastic food and a real treat. order, you won't be disappointed!

Have been to this restaurant several times and always enjoyed the food. Lots of healthy salads and starters and good fish too. Staff are helpful and friendly and there is always a nice atmosphere and nice mix of clientele and atmosphere.

we love sumak, the food is always incredible and we've never been disappointed!

Really delicious food, service is always great. Good vegetarian and vegan options but grilled meat dishes are lovely and the bread is amazing

Really nice adana kebab but for about 14 pounds plus delivery and a service fee for just one kebab is ridiculous especially when most places like Divan give you two kebabs for that price.

Someone I have worked with introduced me to this place two years ago. I have been a regular customer since. The food is fresh and tasty. Price reasonable and always a friendly staff. Me and my partner also introduced our friends to dine here and they love it! Special thanks to the owner who always greats us with a big smile! Thank you and see you soon!

Friendly staff and good atmosphere

Celebrated a big family birthday. We were a large group but the service and attention given to detail was fab.

Bought for a friend, he raved about how delicious it was!

Delicios food, friendly staff and good atmosphere

I had the lamb in hummous! Really really yummy with that wonderful smokiness you get with a charcoal grill. Complimentary bread and salad! Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Great place to host large dinners. If you love cheesy wall decorations, the panoramic murals of European heritage sites are very enjoyable to gawk at :)

Food is classic Bulgar/Turkish, good, but for what it is a bit pricey! Service was okay. I would be a regular but it’s too pricey for that.

Great food good service and large portion sizes

Excellent food as always. Fresh and tasty. Generous portions.

Portion sizes have shrunk and prices increased. Won’t be ordering again which is a shame as food is good. Just not worth the money now!

La comida era buena pero llevaron el plato principal antes de que hayamos terminado el entrante. Había mucho ruido también.

Top class 👏 Delicious 😋 Decorated good 👍 Good price 👍

I have been coming to this restaurant for many years and bringing my family. The food is great and so is the service although it has always felt a bit of a ‘fast food’ experience and the bill is delivered very swiftly. The downside is however, that every time I go in the prices go up and at £17 for a small kebab, I chose to walk out before ordering. I feel that the restaurant is constantly testing the market price wise and for me on this occasion they have pushed it to the limit. I know that prices and costs are going up but I crossed the road and went to the Belash Indian restaurant where I had an excellent main course for £10 with very much the same ingredients and a glass of wine for £5.50. I will miss the restaurant but feel that no longer competitively priced

One of my favourite Turkish restaurants, friendly staff . Very good value. Edit 2/9/21 : the food was good and staff were very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately after 4 years of patronage I've decided to boycott this establishment. The duty manager was very rude and condescending when I mispronounced the name of a mezze. I can't see any point in paying for an expensive meal if I am going to get abused. Unless there is an apology I am afraid this is my stance. Edit 2023 The manager apologised for his conduct, I have visited the restaurant, and i am glad to say my experience was pleasant this time!

Always friendly service and lovely ambience. The food is delicious. Would recommend.

很道地的土耳其餐館，也十分受到饕客喜愛，即使非假日，建議還是預約一下！

Chicken shish and bulgar wheat always tasty and succulent. Thank you !

One of the best food places in the area.

Always great food and friendly service.

A group of us ate at Sumak on a Saturday night. Typically generous portions for a Turkish restaurant, well cooked lamb and some nice flavours. Service was inconsistent; one waiter was very attentive whereas a waitress took away our starter plates before we’d finished and then returned apologetically with clean plates. Complimentary Turkish Delight was brought out before we were asked about desserts. We didn’t have room for dessert anyway, but we just felt a little rushed at times.

Brilliant atmosphere... Enjoyed the food.

Her fikk vi nydelig mat og masse mat. Kan virkelig anbefales!

Very good food and great service.

Yoğurtlu paça harika her zaman tercihimdir...

5 star everything! Food, service, friendly atmosphere and the staff are all so welcoming and they genuinely take care to ensure you have a great time. Love Sumak, it's the best! Thank you and see you again soon.

Love this restaurant, the food is excellent, very good-sized portions. Always greeted with a smile, staff are polite, and we have always been happy to return here for many years. An outstanding restaurant.
