For the 3rd course you have a whole list of dishes and you can chose up to 5. We have been back a dew times and always leave full.

After passing 'Melange' a few times and then glancing at the somewhat small menu we decided to give it a try one evening. WOW! It's good! It's really good!! I'm often let down by UK restaurants, even the pricey ones but Melange does something very well it provides food that has been lovingly prepared by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. I had the steak and chips. Perfect. Excellent meat, fantastic chips and the entire plate was bursting with flavour. My wife had a chicken dish and loved it. The food is fairly rich / substantial and has bags of flavour and character. Today I popped in for a small breakfast Eggs florentine with an Americano, £5.90 not bad at all. Melange is honest, simple and a fantastic addition to Crouch End. Please support a local restaurant and pay them a visit!

It was a slight bastardisation of what I'm used to, but even though it's not quite authentic, it was bloody lovely! The addition of a pot of peanut sauce is GENIUS! I opted for a coke float, although I was hoping for a can of Ting or some Bigga Grape, but meh, the coke float was pretty great too! Mrs D had a fry-up which looked great, but couldn't compete with my chicken. It's not a cheap meal out, and some of the staff seem to cope with the constant throng of customers better than others, but I love it here anyway, and I'll definitely be back.

I LOVE this place. I visited for the first time last year and am utterly addicted to their jerk…read morechicken. It's truly immense. I went travelling for 7 months in between now and then and can sincerely say their food is the stuff you dream about when you're stuck in the middle of a strange country without your home comforts. It was also one of my first stops upon returning to London. My only slight criticism is the amount of time you sometimes wait to be served and perhaps certain staff could be slightly more friendly, but it is a minor flaw in an otherwise great restaurant. I recommend the jerk chicken sandwich, jerk chicken salad and jerk pork chop which is often on special. If you're not a fan of 'the jerk' don't worry, you can't go far wrong with any of the dishes really. And the prices are very reasonable. And as a quick aside I have dined on a table next to Simon Pegg, held the door open for Victoria Wood as she was leaving and there's a plaque claiming Bob Dylan was there in 1993. If it's good enough for them...

Five Stars!

To be honest, I had come to Harringey Green Lanes because I wanted to try out the food at Gökyüzü,…read morebut when the line at this place was out the door, I consulted the Yelp App and it pointed me in the direction of Selale. I have to say, it was the review of Yinnie C. that made me come here; I trust her opinion and if she says that eating at Selale has made her rethink the idea of a kebab, then I should come here as well. And indeed, my dining experience at Selale was great. The place itself is not very special: it's pretty much a big room with loads of tables and mostly unoriginal design. In fact, I actually thought they were trying to hard...but what it was lacking in terms of design features, Selale made up in terms of food and service. I sat down and soon a waiter came by and asked me for my order. I easily get overwhelmed by the sheer choice of different items at Turkish restaurants and so I simply asked the waiter what he would recommend. In a very friendly manner, he then placed a hand on my shoulder and pointed me to the lamb shish. I asked him if I should go for the mixed shish (chicken and lamb), but he nudged me into ordering the pure lamb shish...and, boy, am I glad I did. It was delicious! Here at Selale, every main course comes with a mixed salad, topped of with a delicious pomegranate dressing. Also, they serve humus and tzatsiki (cacık) alongside oven fresh pita bread. At the end of the meal, they also offer you a free glas of tea (çay). When I was about to get up the waiter shook my hand and I left happy as a puppy...that's what I call a great experience!

It defo was a pizza and beer kind of night with the rain teaming down. And so within 30 mins it arrived (I did think they forgot us at first). The antipasti 'side' is anything but; 20 month cured Parma Ham with the creamiest Burrata on rocket. Honestly the portion matched the quality. It was huge. What an introduction. Next the pizza. The Diovola. All types Of ham and pepperoni. They were generous with toppings and the cheese was gooey without being overpowering. The crust fantastic. This was the real deal. I will definitely be back. Probably to sit in as I'm intrigued to see what it's like inside. And to sample their service properly. Well done though I was seriously impressed with the food as a whole and am always willing to support & champion local if possible.

The interior is newly refurbished and it makes no effort to simulate period charm -- it is unpretentious, clean and modern.

The back bar (go through the gents) has darts and another fireplace. Nine handpumps, three in front and six in back, and a good selection of whiskies as well.

The pub itself is split into two, with the front section being more of a saloon bar, and the back more of a comfy space ideal to relax for an evening or a weekend afternoon, with both served by the same staff from one room to another.

This place looked busy, with an exposed brick hipster vibe but more importantly lots of delicious smells coming from the kitchen, so we stayed! The staff are amazingly friendly - the girl on front of house was so welcoming, and explained it's BYOB as they've lost their license due to a mix-up. Music to our ears! After a quick dash over to the Sainsbury's we were all happily cosied up in a booth with some very reasonably priced vino :) The service continued to impress, with our waiter doing that nonchalant I don't need to write anything down thing (and getting it spot on). The food was also fresh and tasty which always helps, and my goi ga chicken noodle salad was just the flavours I'd been craving. The others all got steaming hot bowls of pho that were slurped down happily around me too. Given we got a steal on the drinks it was all very reasonably priced for the healthy portion sizes, even after over-ordering starters to share. What topped it off for me was they even let us sit there nattering away for ages as we polished off the wine until what must've been past closing, cleaning up around us but never once making us feel like we had to hurry up and leave. Thank you!
