You can only get takeaways at the moment, and we ordered large Lamb Shish. The lamb had nice smoky flavour but were really tough and too salty. The salad came in a tiny pot, and the bread was too stale. It was a very bad value for money for £13.50 each. Sorry we will not going back. read more

We were small party of few . Ordered few drinks enjoy with starters however they keep rushing you and main course is came before any consideration of time to eat . No communication with kitchen or just don't care food is good service didn't find so great . Not worth for the price you pay at all read more

Was not good service. I ordered breakfast but it came without mushrooms and roasted peppers with breakfast as part of. When I asked for they are bringing me just plan fried mushrooms. I always liked Turkish breakfast. read more

I've been visiting Greenlanes most weekends for two years now (and have just moved nearby), and it just continues to surprise and excite me. Hala has just opened up in the space left next by the departed Cafe Lime (next to Cafe Lemon, going for maximum imagination round these parts). The people here are incredibly friendly for starters. Imagine three rather worse for wear individuals bumbling into your restaurant at 9.30 on a Saturday night after a day at the cricket. Wearing penguin suits. Too many places would sneer or turn people away - this lot on the other hand furnished us with menus and helped us decide on a feast fit for a king (penguin). We chatted to the head chef who said he'd make us up the house special - mixed grill for two with a few extras to bump it up to feed three. We put away lots of bread, yoghurt and salad while we were waiting - the bread is as it is everywhere round these parts, soft and pillowy with just enough chew. The salad was great - refreshing with tomatoes, lemon juice and superb small olives. And then. Oh and then, the kebab arrived. I have never seen such a plate of beauty. We had a little of everything from the menu - chicken wings, lamb and chicken shish, proper bits of adana and lamb patties - my god, it was good. So so good. It all came in on a huge bed of fluffy and slightly creamy rice that I could have eaten on its own. We waddled off into the night as only drunk and stuffed penguins can. Very, very happy. Well done Hala. read more

The kids being fascinated by the ladies in the window making gozleme (as we found out when we went in), we decided to have a bit of tea here. The place used to be Cafe Lime and apart from the enormous cooking area that has now appeared, the decor is much the same, wooden panelling and muted colours. Being teatime, it was very busy but we didn't have to wait for either service or our food both of which were very good. We went for a big plate of Gozleme: Potato, Spinach, minced lamb, and cheese flavoured, washed down with the fanciest Ayrans on Green Lanes. All Delicious! The menu also has all the other stuff you might expect; kebebs, pide, meze, fish but a quick nose round the table and the speed with which the other customers finished them off suggested that the other food on offer was equally good. Price: 5 gozleme and 2 ayrans = £12. Highchair available and kids made very welcome. read more

I've only been to a handful of Turkish restaurants here in London as I'm still on a mission to find one that closely resembles the food I had in Turkey. I came here for a friends birthday as we lost our table from being overly fashionably late for a restaurant next door to this!lol! Nevertheless I love trying new places and so as soon as I stepped into this restaurant I was expecting good things from the immediate sight of fresh meat and veg on display. The menu is huge for you meat lovers out there but if fish is what your craving, I'm afraid you only have 3 dishes. However, the portion of fish you get is generous (from what I saw). As we were a large group, we usually expect to have a little bit of delay when we go out to eat, but oh my the service that night was really delayed. Though the food came out quite later after it was ordered, the staff were apologetic and polite about it so it wasn't too bad. We were also offered a dessert of rice pudding on the house to make up for the late arrival of a pida (Turkish pizza). Food wise, it wasn't what I had expected. I ordered a small lamb shish, which when it arrived I had been given a 'large' which seemed more like a small to medium portion. Chips were a little scarce on my plate, the meat was nice but maybe more effort on the garnishing of the plate would've made the dish more presentable (possibly a small salad on the side perhaps?). They also keep topping up the bread servings on the table which was a good touch (especially when your waiting for a while on your food). Oh! But be warned! One of my friends were very close to overpaying because they were told that their transactions didn't go through, even though the 2nd attempt was fine so just keep hold of your receipt! This could've just been a one time thing, but thought I'd mention it just incase I'd be up for trying somewhere different if I'm totally honest, but glad I tried nonetheless read more

Hala Restaurant - Mixed platter for 3 - Turkish Near Me - London, XGL

This newly renovated restaurant is very busy, so make sure you spare time to wait for a table if you're eating in. The wait is worth it though. We had the Dolma and Mucver as we stopped in a for a small bite, but the meal was anything but small. They serve every meal with delicious flatbread and sauces, as well as a small salad. The Dolma was delicious, and the Mucver was a bit bland but tasty with the red sauces. At the end of every meal, they serve Turkish tea and a baklava which were both delicious. read more

Amazing food; amazing service. They have the best Turkish food in town which is why they're always busy and why everyone goes. The breakfast for 1 is enough for 2 and comes complete with eggs, cheese, yoghurt, honey, jam, bread, tomatoes, cucumber, meats, borek... Honestly that list could go on...and TEA! Best of all is the gozleme which you know is fresh and delicious when it's made by two authentic Turkish ladies on a traditional gozleme oven read more

Another Turkish restaurant growing in Harringay. Hala has make an extension to compete the other Turkish restaurant and closed for 2 months. After reopening, foods is still tasty and big portion. Set meals for the price below £40 for 4 persons come with free Turkish teas, free salads; and free breads. I have been tried many Turkish restaurants in Harringay green lanes. This is one of my favourite. Friendly staffs, cool decoration and nice foods. One of recommendation restaurant if you love meaty meaty foods. read more

The only place on Green Lanes which can compete with the spectacle of Antepliler. Two women in the window churn out mountains of fresh gozleme, ready to be cooked to order. I regularly stop in here for a gozleme to take away, which is excellent value and close to the best snack going on the Lanes. It's a toss up between gozleme from here or lahmacun from Antepliler, but if you're in a hurry this is definately the place to go as the service is much more efficient at Hala. If you are stopping for a sit down meal, the menu also includes the usual turkish collection, and the daily stews are of a particularly good standard. read more

I'll keep this short, there are loads of restaurants/kebab places along green lanes. I've tried about 6 of them. This is my favourite so far. Great food and great value. Simples read more

We visit this place a lot, not a bad meal here. Gozleme is always fresh and yummy. Paca soup is excellent. Only criticism is that icli kofte can be better-hope they are not using old mince meat-. They do daily meals as well. We like their complimentary deserts, something different and tasty. Staff is always welcoming. Highly recommended! read more

Really tasty, really fantastic, best of the bunch!

I used to think that Hala Restaurant was one of the better ones in Green Lanes. Unfortunately I recently had a very bad experience there. I found a long, white hair in my food and called the waiter to show him. Instead of apologising, he claimed that only men were working in the restaurant, denying that there were four women working inside. Me and my friend were wearing Hijab so we knew it could not be our hair. He took my plate away and replaced it with a dish that was inferior in quality and size to what I originally ordered. Their attitude was very rude and they charged the full amount for the food. I will never go back there again and I am thinking of informing the health authority. read more

I don't know why it's much easier to get a table here than next door, but after a very delicious search of all the Turkish places on green Lanes I've decided this is the best. Everything is super fresh, plus you get the most perfect little cheese pastry at the end of your meal. read more

Excellent turkish cuisine served with great courtesy. The gozleme were delicious and the homemade ayran was something special. We had so many wonderful starters we hardly had room for any main course. read more

Friendly service thank you Hala Restaurant management

Food is less than avarage. I went for mainly mezes and they were very blend. I didn't like dolma, sarma, icli kofte at all. I am Turkish so I was very disappointed. read more

Had the lamb stew which was way too salty, mind u this was late in the evening so it prob been sitting there all day. Wont be going back.

Service was very poor, food is not the best compared to other restaurants nearby, mediocre at best. Only good thing is it's cheap, but won't be coming back when there's so many better around. read more
