The Olive Branch in Haringey

Back after 15 years and same great!

So disappointed with our visit to Paneri today. We have been coming to Paneri for 20+ years and our meals today were terrible. We had dishes missing from our Meze (6 small plates, the seafood platter, the mushroom and egg dish and the filo pastries). We were not told dishes would be missing until we queried it. My husband got a dry lamb dish (we are not sure what it was because he asked the waiter for his favourite dish!). We were charged £39.50 for this which seems very overpriced when you can get a meat platter for 2 for around £50! We didn’t check the bill until we got home as it was an afterthought that the bill was high! We also didn’t receive a discount for the Mezes even though a lot of dishes were missing. This experience has left such a bad taste in our mouths that we would not return even if they paid us. We are so upset as Paneri has always been a family favourite.

Troodos is no more as it has closed for business. Shame as it used to be very busy in the late 90's to the noughties. The couple who ran it were very nice and its a shame that they have now gone out of business.

A lovely local Bistro, great authentic Greek Cypriot food, Reasonably priced. The owner is such fab character. I would recommend the Meze, a great selection of small plates of yummy food then the finale of a meat platter. I would go again.
