The Black Olive Cafe Bistro in Islington

Fantastic friendly service Would highly recommend Lovely fresh cooked food we all enjoyed it so much our plates were clean

If you like traditional Turkish food then this is the place for you. We eat hear frequently and my favorite dish is lamb tava, the salad, hummas and tarama are delicious with the hot pitta bread baked onsite in a traditional stone oven. My wife and my son always order classic lahmacun, the table is always full and the portions are generous. what you can't eat, you can take home in a takeaway box. The staff are always helpful and polite and it's always a pleasure to eat here.

We had an amazing experience here. Our waiter Diana, was so kind and fun, she really made our evening. The halloumi and calamari were incredible, the best versions of those two dishes I’ve ever tried. And the baklava desert was delicious. We will definitely be coming back!

06/10/2024 **A Fantastic Moroccan Food Experience – Surpassed Expectations!** We were initially a bit skeptical about going to Le Rif Café & Restaurant after reading some old reviews, but we’re so glad we gave it a chance! The staff were honestly kind, welcoming, and made us feel comfortable throughout the meal. In fact, they bought back a Moroccan cook to fulfil the complaints! We had the chicken tagine and vegetable tagine, both bursting with flavour and cooked to perfection. The dishes came with extra slices of fresh bread to soak up all the delicious sauce. The Moroccan tea was the perfect, refreshing finish to the meal. The experience completely exceeded our expectations! The staff are genuine and the food is amazing—authentic, flavourful Moroccan dishes that you won’t want to miss. If you’re looking for great Moroccan food and wonderful service, Le Rif is definitely worth a visit. We’ll be back for sure!

The two people running this stall were hospitable kind and very skilled chefs. The food was a beautiful standard and was made in a timely manner. They have exceeded my expectations of an outdoor food stall. Would recommend. Definitely coming again !
