The Street Easy in Islington

My husband and I visited with a Groupon voucher for 2 courses - we were warmly greeted and decided to sit outside - the restaurant is in a busy street of restaurants and is very interesting to see all the comings and goings. Staff friendly throughout - food good - we had baked feta and feta and aubergine ball starters followed by beef and soft shell crab burgers - all tasty. We also enjoyed some cocktails. Would recommend.

I could excuse the mediocre, overpriced burgers that tasted like they had been microwaved along with the what we were sure to be watered down cocktails. What we couldn’t ignore was what I found on the bottom of my bag that had been sitting on the floor under the table. I brought my bag onto the table to get something out of it and we found large droppings on it! These were clearly rat or mouse droppings- given the size, we thought rat. I used my torch to look under the table and could see droppings along the edge of the wall. I went into the toilet and threw up! This place is style over substance, it’s dirty, and the food is overpriced and bland. We left as quickly as we could and will be reporting to health & safety. There are amazing restaurants in this part of London, I think the owners are trading off of the location. I’ve never in 15 years of living in this area been so disgusted with the cleanliness of a restaurant and after having read some of the other reviews, it’s clearly not only me and my partner who thought the drinks were watered down and the food is really poor quality. We hadn’t been anywhere else prior to this so the droppings on my bag were not brought in from elsewhere. Really horrible experience.

We had small plates and a bottle of wine - the food was amazing and we would definitely visit again. Service was so friendly and good quality was excellent!

This is a really fun place and the staff were so friendly and caring! The experience was really good - the cocktails, the music, the relaxed feel of the place. I would recommend the Margarita with Hibiscus and I had a great burger - "you're bacon my heart" and padron peppers were fab - a real fun time was had!

Lovely place for a pre Sadlers Wells meal. Great food ( including gluten free) and cocktails - loved their Buttered Rum on a cold January night! Lovely, friendly atmosphere and the Harry Potter style hanging candles are great!

We had the most amazing experience! Thank you so much! We had a group of 29 people for a special needs charity Christmas lunch…, such a huge group, but the street Easy chefs and staff made sure we were all looked after. Fabulous service and attention was wonderful. We can’t thank you enough Thank you ! We will be coming back 🫶🏼👍🤗

I’ve hesitated for sometime about writing this review but here goes. 4 of us visited after seeing a ballet at Sadler’s Wells. It was a warm day and the place was busy, we arrived early for our meal,were seated but waited ages to be served. On mentioning this we were told ‘it’s Exmouth Market- it’s always busy’.Our cocktails eventually arrived and shortly afterwards it was time for our meal. My email clearly said we had been assigned a specific table- this was emphatically denied by our server. We were given another table which was fine but very sticky and unpleasant. We mentioned this and were met with a somewhat sarcastic reply. The food when it arrived was good but then ( we were sitting near a piano) 2 men who seemed to be friends of the staff started playing very loudly and badly to the extent that we couldn’t speak to each other. It was horrible- almost as if it was done on purpose because we had dared to comment! A member of our party paid up and complained about our treatment- we were not the only one to leave. I wrote to the owners saying how disappointed we were only to receive a complete diatribe about our behaviour and how we had upset our server- it was all about them and nothing about our experience as customers. Their email finished with a message to the effect that we would not be welcome back at this establishment. I sub

Wow, Wow,Wow!! What an amazing bar, the vibe, tunes galore the staff the food and the drinks!! Ruby made us some off the menu cocktails as we’d tried most on there! And just amazing, don’t take my word get here and sample. Nicky is just fantastic.

This is a delightful restaurant - delicious food, beautifully served. Freshly squeezed orange, gorgeous coffee & the veggie breakfast was sensational.

Lovely bar with great cocktails. They also do beer, wine etc, but the main draw remains the cocktails which are different to the regular boring list in all the other bars. And What a cocktails. Jake does the best ones FYI. The staff behind the bar deserve a special thank you specially the owners. They are very friendly and helpful no matter the time of the evening or size of the crowd. The food is one of the kind. Crab burguer is my favourite.

Amazing experience!! On everything!! The food is so good and original. You can tell it is prepared with care and love. Staff is so friendly and professional. Recommend this place without hesitation!!

Brilliant brunch. Amazing morning mocktails, and excellent coffee. We had the eggs Benedict, eggs Florentine, and the high fryer! Very happy with the food, and excellent service. Staff are really friendly. Wish it wasn't so cold so we could sit outside. Next time!

We went here for lunch before going to Sadlers Wells. It’s quite a quirky place and the clientele seemed to be younger but we didn’t feel out of place (we are in our 50’s). Some of the chairs are sofa style so not really for dining but this might suit some people. The menu was brunchy and I am not sure if they do a different menu for the evening. It was breakfasts and burgers. We opted for a chicken strip burger with skinny fries and slaw. The whole thing was lovely, a good sized portion, hot and tasty. The slaw was different as I assumed it would be in mayo but it wasn’t it was in a wine/vinegar type dressing which was very nice but might not be to everyone’s taste. We had some mulled wine which again was nice but a very small glass for £5 So all in all I would go back, nice food, good service and a good atmosphere. The bill came to £90 for three people which is a bit steep for a main course, a drink each (one of which was soft) and three coffees.

Had a fantastic evening, lovely vibe, great food & wine, and attentive staff. Can’t recommend enough, and will definitely be back.

I was very disappointed with the food and drinks at this restaurant. The food was undercooked and oversalted, the slaw was inedible due to being too acidic. When the server asked if everything was OK, I said not really. And was met with oh sorry and no attempt was made to rectify the situation. A big shame, as the location was nice. Would not recommend.

We visited on the 04/05/22 with my family , had a lovely delicious lunch with cocktails , desserts, we had the full works ,omg so good , can honestly say it was the best I've had in this area , with such a friendly atmosphere and the staff were so polite and friendly , if I could of scored this 10/10 I would in fact I will 😊 cannot wait to go again soon , well done to managers and staff you have it all working so well , thankyou again 👌

Dropped in for a pre Sadlers Wells supper. Lovely food , well priced, nice wine and cocktails and really good service. Wings with Spicy sauce were excellent, but everyone else cleared their plates and said theirs was the best so who knows! Very gluten free/allergy aware and friendly. We’ll go back soo .

The drinks were so good we decided to have another round before leaving. My wife had the Sir David which she reckons is one of the nicest cocktails she’s ever had, I had a rum and coke - the rum is bought is a recycled plastic instead of a bottle which saves the turtles! My youngest daughter had an Oreo milkshake which was delicious - we all tried it! We all had burgers with chips which were really tasty, exactly what we needed after a long day walking around London. Very highly recommended

The best oreo milkshakes ever!! And I've tried a few! Amazing food,atmosphere and staff. Will definitely be returning again.

Just wandering through Exmouth Market looking for a brunch venue and saw The Street Easy. We both had different vegan options, the staff were lovely, helpful and adaptable (re vegan options). Food was quick and amazing, service was just right; caring without being intrusive. We...

I love this place! Such and fun and vibrant young couple Ruby and Jake own it, and their experience and enthusiasm for their restaurant is infectious. The food is delicious and the drinks expertly made and presented.

Wonderful location and the most delicious street food, served in comfy chairs by the friendliest ( so happy to be back in business ) people. We had super cocktails to start Food was incredible ... I had the Squash the beef bun with island slaw.......

Comfortable outdoor seating. Heating and lovely soft blankets provided on a slightly chilly April afternoon. We ordered the Jerk of the bone bun with Latkes potatoes, Sesame spinach and Steamed tenderstem sides. The Asian Caribbean mix influence is fantastic, flavours are amazing and the quality...
