Harissa bistro Village Road, Enfield EN1 2HB

"I cant believe the great reviews on here. This place is so very over hyped for sure. I've been looking forwards to coming here for a long time. I finally came with a group of friends and I really wish we hadn't. We went around 10ish in the morning. It wasn't busy but the waitress couldn't even handle the few customers there already. The service was unbelievably slow. She made us order our drinks before ordering as we weren't ready to order. And the lattes were literally just warm. Had to gulp it down before it got undrinkable. It was not easy to get her attention to order and she kept doing things in between whilst telling us she is coming. What kind of ridiculous service is that? The people sitting next to our table had to actually get up and try to order at the till and they had little ones with them. I ordered a french toast and compared to the rest of the meals my friends had mine was tiny more like a side! And on top of that almost the same price as the main breakfasts! It makes no sense. The food was nothing special. My friends weren't impressed especially since it was quite expensive. The waffle was dry said another friend. So the price does not match the quality of the food either. Not coming back here. There are plenty of other much nicer places than this worth putting your money into."

"A lovely family run cafe...you have s great selection on the menu, from breakfast to main meals. There is plenty of space here so you don't feel like you are sitting on top of other customers at all. The music playing in the background isn't too loud but is just right. The service is very nice, my partner asked for some extra salad dressing which was quickly accommodated for, the waitress even went as far as saying to try first and if it needed anything it would be replaced. The pricing I would say is reasonable. You will leave here feeling very satisfied (hopefully) with your food choices."

"Amazing atmosphere with the decor giving a relaxed atmosphere. The food complimented the environment - fresh , pleasing to the eye and to the stomach. Staff were attentive and friendly. Definite recommendation and will visit again"

"Amazing (Halal) food and presentation & friendly service really welcoming staff and very cozy feel. I travel all the way from Heathrow with my wife to have breakfast here every so often definitely recommend a visit here worth the travel free 2 hour parking across the street as well which is an added bonus."

"Really good service and fresh food. I had the stuffed avocado and husband had the vegetarian breakfast. Place is also fully halal. We shared a pancake. Lovely food."
