Waited nearly an hour to get food which was rubbish considering that we were the only people in there. The guy who I assume to be the owner also needs a little bit of help with the customer interface. However the food, when it eventually arrived, was good but for what the portion sizes was over priced. I guess that's why the place was empty?

This is certainly the best place on green lanes for a quality (non-Turkish) coffee…read more The decor is comfortable and staff are helpful (though as is usual with these places you have to order at the till). Clientele are your white middle class regulars together with some of the young locals. Most keep themselves to themselves but I've occasionally sparked up a genuinely interesting conversation with an unsuspecting stranger in here! Family and kids-friendly with a little play area to keep the tots occupied. There is a bit of a local rivalry with nearby Moka- my take on it is that Blend is better for the coffee aficionados but Moka wins on ambience and range of eating options. Both are excellent options to while away your weekends in good company!

Wide offer of breakfasts and weekly changing lunches which all sound very tasty. I got a cappuccino (pic) and I find it not bad (I'm Italian so my standards might be little above average), though £ 2.50 is little overpriced in my opinion - whereas it may be cheap for London, I don't feel it's worth all this money, that's the reason why I give 4/5 stars. Will surely be back anyways, atmosphere for working is quite nice despite kids being noisy from time to time

I feel a little harsh by giving this a 2 star, but I think it's worthy for the food we got today…read more We ordered a couple of starters to share, the prawns and halloumi which the cheeses could of been grilled a little more so that it's more crispy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. Next up I choose the cheeseburger and my friend had the T bone steak.. I must say I was jealous of their meal as my burger was a tad over cook and the fries wasnt as crispy as I expected. The coleslaw was good, but it was an good portion that I just couldn't finish. However the dessert display look really appetising and I went for the chocolate fondant and the apple tart. I must say give me dessert any day! The decor of the place is lovely and the vibes are very East London hipster style, but I don't think I will be rushing back in a hurry..

First time going to The Banc. Was recommended by my colleague…read more We were given a complimentary starter (bread with a dip) - that was nice. We ordered the calamari, when it came it looked amazing but tasted on point and delish. I've had calamari in different restaurants I would say this is one of my top places to get it. Anyways, we ordered the Grilled salmon, the Seabass fillet and Cordon Bleu breaded chicken. Dessert was a chocolate fondant with vanilla icecream. Everything was scrumptious. I would say friendly service, big portions (wasn't expecting it), lovely surroundings. Hygiene wise, clean.

0 stars! Went to…read moreRakkas to celebrate my brothers birthday in June 2023. After eating at the restaurant 3/5 of us had symptoms of diarrhoea and vomiting including my brother. 1/5 had diarrhoea and upset stomach. On the day, the lamb chops had no flavour and I had to spit out a piece of meat I had in my mouth as it was really hard to chew. The prawns also did not seem to taste quite right. I am not one to complain so just paid the bill in full and left. I had eaten at the restaurant before going to celebrate my brothers birthday and had no issues, the food was also really nice which is why I decided to book here again to celebrate my brothers birthday. I contacted the restaurant the following day (17th June 2023) to inform them of myself and other celebrants becoming ill following eating in the restaurant, and have since contacted them on 8 separate occasions in addition to going to the restaurant in person for a response. I spoke with a man on 23rd June who said he was a manager in the restaurant, he said the email and receipt had gone to the directors and I should receive a response by 27th June latest. He also said that noone else had made a complaint about the food on the day our celebrants were at the restaurant. This was accusatory, as if I have fabricated 4 out of the 5 of us being ill the day after eating at the restaurant on the 16th June 2023. I am still yet to receive a reply. Aesthetically, the restaurant is nice but the food was tasteless and the company/directors have no values, ethos or care for their customers. My experience with Rakkas has been really awful and personally I will not use or recommend it to others again!!

I'm a big fan of the Turkish breakfast item called Menemen (tomatoes, scrambled eggs, peppers and…read moreonion) and they do this beautifully here. But that's not the only thing that's noteworthy about this place - I really enjoyed the Wan breakfast, which consists of various cheeses, spreads, sweet condiments, fried egg and plenty of warm pita bread. In fact, my friend - with whom I came to this place - had originally come to this place because he saw on their menu that they serve this special breakfast and apparently it's not easy to find it here in London. (He's Turkish by origin and always on the lookout for things that remind him of home.) Insider tips for eating the Wan breakfast: - generously spread the white/soft cheese (upper right bowl on my picture) on some pita bread and top it of with honey...heavenly! - put a slice of the feta cheese (lower right bowl on my image) on a piece of bread and top it off with a slice of tomato; - I liked to combine the olive mash (mid-left bowl) with the crumbled cheese (upper left); - dip your bread in tahini and pekmez and just enjoy; Also, I highly recommend coming here with at least two people and then order one Wan breakfast and one Menemen...that, combined with loads of cups of tea, will leep you busy for a while! Although, I haven't tried their lunch or dinner menu, I trust that it's equally good too.

I've been here before and I know it is not a huge space to sit in with limited seats (and stools),…read morebut it is cosy and light enough inside to warrant making a trip in a quite random area of London that you might not be familiar with. What brings me back is their outstanding breakfast/brunches with an equally great coffee (especially their flat white) to match. The recently added Breakfast Banh Mi. I must talk about this. Bacon, fried egg, pickled carrot & mooli. Sriracha miso mayo and baguette was perfection. Almost don't want anyone to know, so I can eat this every morning by myself. The bread is perfect. Soft and compliments the inside and the sauce goes great with all like a marriage Hollywood's elite could only dream of. So far I've been three times and each time the food and drink has been spot on. I will continue to come back. I must note it's a great place to come if you are going to the equally fantastic Beavertown Brewery for their open taproom nearby. All in all a great place in North London.
