Common Ground - (Near Barnet, South East)

E S Really enjoyed a Friday evening meal here. The food was excellent, the service couldn’t be better, courteous and friendly. Portions were incredibly generous, everything was tasty, and I appreciated the free salad, bread, yoghurt dish and Turkish tea. The Turkish restaurants on Upper St, Islington have stopped giving salad etc at the start of the meal — which I associate with a good Turkish meal — so I’d rather come here. I was made to feel welcome as a single customer and given a nice table in the early evening. The dinner was reasonably priced given the generosity of the servings. Only shame was that I couldn’t get a small portion of the fresh chili sauce that often comes with the chicken/meat dishes, they only serve it as a large (paid) portion. One of the waiters kindly gave me some anyway, but I would suggest this is also made available for tables of 1 or 2, as it really complements the meats so nicely. Highly recommend this place, also there is a nice buzzy atmosphere and no loud music on the night that I visited, so a more relaxed atmosphere despite the buzz, customers didn’t need to shout to be heard.

Tugberk Buyukbay Great place in Finsbury park. Nice ambiance and good food but especially the service was great. High level and very friendly. Thanks to Ms Hasret and all the team… Acoustic with scramble eggs was sublime. Eggs Benedict was good. Finished with granola with yogurt. Rich and balanced. Definitely we are coming back..,

T Ordered on Deliveroo twice, no issues with the food at all. It was delicious. Called beforehand and the customer service was good, thank you! Adana kofte was amazing, seasoned so well. The salad was great, fresh and tasty. Bread in the wrap is proper turkish bread which was filling.

Marshall Milinazzo Gabriel made the experience memorable. His beer suggestion was on point, and the food was delicious. Great atmosphere, and beautiful company. #M

Jess M This is one of my favorite cafe/hangout spots in the area. It’s open till late, has tons of seating choices (indoor + out), free wifi + outlets which makes it a good study cafe but also just a great spot to grab lunch and catch up with people. It’s located on the corner intersection making it a good people watching place too haha. The staff here are sweet and the coffee is fantastic! I love their tuna sandwich. The music selection is always interesting too. A real neighborhood community gem!!

Julian Justin Food in this place has always been epic. Had asparagus prawns, brocoli prawns and volcano chicken with noodles and rice to share. A few espresso martinis and it was worth every bite. Highly recommend to anyone. Decor could do with a face lift but the food is unmatched and the service is second to none
