Taksim Cafe - Haringey

I travelled 2 hours to return to Taksim (now Rosey's restaurant) which was one of my favourite places to go to in my old neighbourhood. While the food was still good, the staff rather shortsightedly, decided to rip us off by £15. When questioned, they did not even apologise and only offered to return £5 to us, charging us £10 for biryani rice (plain rice) when the biryani meal including grilled meet (which we did not order) was £15. This would mean that the grilled meet was worth £5 while the rice was £10. I don't think so. I did not enjoy being made a fool of and it really ruined all my nostalgic memories of one of my favourite places. When getting the bill, make sure it is itemised and matches the prices on the menu. Such a shame and left a really bad taste in my mouth. I don't why they did this. I would have left a tip, returned here and recommended it to others and now I feel compelled to warn others of the pitfalls. Very poor approach to running a hospitality business.

Popped in whilst we were in the area for brunch I had the chicken Shish wrap girlfriend had the poached egg and sausage The shish wrap was pretty awful…absolutely no taste whatsoever and that was including the chilli and garlic sauce…..really didn’t taste good and left over half The girlfriends poached eggs came hard boiled …again pretty tasteless but said the sucuk was decent Not a good experience at all and next time I’m passing by I’ll do exactly that

I am a 190kg man who loves food, and I must say, this restaurant made me feel like part of the family. The gozleme was absolutely amazing and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

The lack of respect from the waiter was appalling. We waited 10 minutes to order, 5 minutes for a high chair, and 15 minutes for some of our breakfast to arrive. It took another 10 minutes for them to realize that our breakfast was missing, and they only noticed when we pointed it out and the waiter hurriedly brought it to our table. At that point, we decided we should not be treated this way as loyal customers. When we spoke to the manager before leaving, all he did was apologize and blame the lack of staff for the poor service, claiming it was a busy day. Overall, I do not recommend this restaurant as it is clear that some people do not know how to properly run a busy establishment and serve their customers. It is a waste of money and time.

A very homely and friendly place great food, coffee and it's affordable. I also love the decor and atmosphere.
