The Blue Legume in Islington

Food was excellent, (the steak in particular) and staff were very friendly, would recommend to others visiting the area.

Tasteless halloumi salad. Poor quality halloumi and tomatoes used. Only thing with any taste was the red onion and that’s not difficult. The dressing was basic. Will not be returning.

My partner and I got married across the street and required a lunch booking for 22 people. The restaurant were EXCELLENT and extremely accommodating. They were well organised and everyone’s food was prepared on time and was great quality. We can’t thank them enough

We had a reservation for 7 people for a birthday party on Saturday evening. We bought a set menu, the food was terrible. It was very heavy and had no taste. They used cumin spice a lot. Almost all of the meals were ready-made takeaway and fried food. For the main course there were two plates for 7 people and there were 5 meatballs and falafel in them, they were uneaten because of the cumin. Feels like chef didnt change the oil long time. Only 3 35cl raki and tap water were given to our table for 7 people. There was no Salgam or tea or coffee service. Paid £80 per person for the set menu and we were given turkish mezes and then they gave us a terrible stuffed meatball. They said there were 3 main courses in the set menu, but dessert was not provided, we asked for it and they said no. We paid close to £500 for 7 people and it was not worth it at all. There was no choice of set menu only what was brought to the table and this was small in portion and poor in quality and taste. There wasn't even any entertainment just a generic Turkish Spotify play list. If you want to have a celebration on Saturday evening, I definitely do not recommend this place.

Good range of brunch choices, quality ingredients and well cooked. Popular and busy. But the serving staff unfriendly.
