Paradise Bar & Diner - (Near , london)

George G This is a lovely Italian restaurant with plenty of seating, as it’s quite a large space. There’s also outdoor dining, which must be buzzing in the summer. It’s located on Stroud Green Road, just a short stroll from Finsbury Park station. The atmosphere is great, with cool Italian tunes playing, and the staff are friendly. I was recommended the scialatielli ai straccetti di manzo, a homemade pasta with thin strips of beef. It was absolutely delicious, and I’d highly recommend it if you’re looking for a pasta dish that’s full of meat and flavour. There’s a great selection of alcohol — wines, spirits, beers, and cocktails — and they even serve Italian ice creams. There are toilets at the back. This place works well for dining solo, in groups, on date nights, or with family.

Ana Castro Fedosova Amazing food, nice music and very nice owner. We had the mixed platter for 2 and it was sooo good, we try a bit of everything in the menu and you can actually choose some of the toppings. The injera was so nice and soft. The owner explained us that they bring it from Ethiopia, so it’s so authentic! The meat was perfectly cooked and the flavors were amazing ! We had coffee after food, and it was perfectly roasted, not too bitter and served in the traditional pot ! The owner was so nice and even explained us about Ethiopian culture ! Very nice, will definitely go back and recommend to friends !

Rebecca Marie Graham We had the most amazing time! I went with my grandma and my boyfriend, we enjoyed the bolognaise and the lasagna which were so scrumptious and flavourful. The starter of bruschetta and olives and bread were also so yummy! Customer service was A1! So friendly and attentive, I will be coming back regularly.

Tom Marsh Really fun bar, had a birthday here and was really impressed by the service and the area we were given. No cost to host a big group, and had our own private area with 4 consoles as well as access to the arcades. Highly recommend!

Rory OConnell Having purchased Ottolenghis cookbooks in the past, its always best to come back to the source and the vision. We went the chefs set menu, which was (in our opinion) excellent value for money. Each dish weighed up perfectly (even more so) to what we wanted. Highlights include the Brussels sprouts, the confit duck mallard and the caramel miso fudge. Only downside is the pairing wines, albeit organic, a little on a sour side - maybe a better pairing? Other than that, Im desperate to go back - and I hope I do, seasonally!

Rumzah Rizvi Great food, fast service. Good option for those late lazy nights!
