Evelyn’s Cafe & Bar

1. When we came in it was one of the kitchen staff that needed to ring the bell for the waiters to see and welcome/ seat us. Though the restaurant was nearly empty. They very put us on a small round table. Very uncomfortable. On the other hand food is really good. Tasty and fresh! Really recommend sumac chicken and the humus! Take a bit more care of your customers as you have great scene, fantastic food.

2. Really good Sunday roast – I had the vegan roast and my friend had the beef, and we were very impressed! They didn’t have a table when we first arrived but we could reserve one for 45 minutes time and we went downstairs for a drink first which was also very nice. Quite expensive but very good quality food and drinks. Lovely atmosphere with lots of nice plants. Friendly and professional staff.

3. A great spot with vibrant atmosphere well decorated. The waiting time on a weekend for food is quite long, not sure if that was one off (maybe staff shortage) but waited around 40 minutes for food and 20 for coffee. The food was delicious but the portion was smaller than expected. I’d still say it’s a great spot to catch up with friends for a long stay.

4. Fabulous food in a cool, totally chilled out and stylish cafe. Very cosy and full of real plants!
   The service was great, and they even let me have a cutting of one of their lush ivys.
   I hope it grows!
   The buttermilk pancakes were the fluffiest I’ve had anywhere.
   Can’t wait to go back for some more Sunday morning relaxing and people watching.
   Oh and did I mention that the kind people at Evelyn’s have made all the meat halal?
   How terribly civilised and accommodating!

5. Went here for brunch on a Sunday. We booked in advance as it is bookings only on a Sunday, so make sure you do on a Sunday or you will be turned away. Place was busy when we turned up at 11.30am. Greeted by a lovely host. The restaurant is small and cozy and nicely decorated. To drink we ordered Vietnamese ice coffee which could have been stronger, coffee wise. Then we ordered the Shakshuka, Avocado toast with poached egg and the pancakes. The Shakshuka was nicely spiced and the crispy chickpeas were lovely. Unfortunately my egg whites were still a bit runny and I would have preferred another slice of toast. My partner enjoyed his Avocado toast. The pancakes looked like Yorkshire puddings which I have never seen before! They were very tasty though. Light, not dense and stodgy. I would have liked some more sauce and possibly some type of cream. This place is also halal and do not serve pork. Overall enjoyed eating here and will be going back to try the Sunday dinner!
