Manor House Station

Dobar

Came here in October 2025 on a Friday for a birthday breakfast for my boyfriend, and it was a great experience. Small intimate cafe with friendly staff, no booking and we were seated on arrival.

There were lots of options to pick from the menu - I went for the Fry Up Breakfast and my partner got the Signature OMG, as well as some halloumi to share. We both enjoyed our meals and would definitely recommend it to anyone that loves breakfast and brunch food. Great way to start the day.

Recently stayed with some family in Finsbury Park and stopped by Dobar for brunch on the way to the station - WOW!

From the moment we arrived we were treated with warm hospitality with servers offering us a table as soon as possible, taking our bags for safekeeping and even recommending dishes when we were being indecisive!

A lovely place for brunch in Finsbury Park, as long as you don’t mind paying for good quality ingredients! 🍳🥞

There was a bit of a queue when we got there,  but the staff were great at keeping us updated and sat us very quickly.  The food was delicious and arrived quickly and they have great coffee. I would highly recommend and will definitely be back there myself!

Delicious food, beautifully presented. Our order arrived quickly and looked great. Large portions. Very much enjoyed order meal and can't wait to try some of there other options.

Amazing food!! We had the Ottoman Days and it was the best poached eggs on yoghurt I’ve ever had. Zeynep, our waitress, was very friendly and helpful. Would definetely come here again.

Gluten-Free, Vegan and Halal options available. 

Rakkas

Amazing experience at Rakkas but I have to say the service was exceptional because of Frenando. He helped fix our shisha, served us and checked up on us all throughout the night. Best experience at a restaurant in a long time. Will be back for sure and a regular spot. Food was exceptional!

I had a lovely brunch here today! The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, perfect for an easy Sunday meal. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. The staff were very attentive and friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We had a terrible experience here from start to finish.

We were met at the door by a staff member screaming at us, then seated almost inside the kitchen with no view of the show. The menu did not have English language we had to translate via a friend sitting with us and Google translator !!
We waited an hour and a half for starters, which arrived tasteless and clearly not fresh. No one checked on us for long stretches of time.

Before speaking to the manager, we finally managed to talk to our waiter who openly agreed with us that the food was not good. Another staff member also said she understood and confirmed that everything we were saying was true.

When we raised this with the manager, instead of addressing the issues, she brought us a bill and insisted we still had to pay because we came for “entertainment” despite the fact that we saw none of it, didn’t eat anything and had already paid a deposit.

Poor service, bad food, and management that is purely money-driven. Completely unprofessional. We will not be returning and do not recommend this place.

We visited Rakkas Lounge for the first time tonight with a friend, and it was absolutely worth the trip even though we came all the way from the other side of London.

Everything was great, from the atmosphere to the service, but I especially want to mention Hakan. His service was outstanding very attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome. The level of care and attention we received really stood out.

Overall, we had a wonderful experience and truly enjoyed the evening. I would definitely come back again and highly recommend this place.

We visited today for the first time and must say we were disappointed with the food we ate. Also the receptionists lack organisation as they were not able to allocate a table although we had reserved. The manager on sight, Zee, managed to seat us and was attentive. She checked up on us in the shisha garden multiple times and managed to bring our mood back up. Also the waiter serving was lovely in the shisha garden.

Drury N4 Manor House | Cafe & Brunch

A fantastic local find in Woodberry Down! The American Diner breakfast platter is absolutely top-notch—fluffy pancakes with perfect eggs and crispy bacon. Their Reuben sandwich is also a standout, packed with flavour. Honest, high-quality brunch that leaves you completely satisfied. Will definitely be back!

We visited the Drury N4 in Manor House up north. There was a cassette tape placed on the table and at first we had no idea what it was for—turns out it was the QR code for the menu. Such a cute and creative touch!

The Wagyu burger was pretty standard overall, but the Benedict really surprised me in the best way.

🍗 Crispy Chicken Benedict
The fried chicken came with a deep amber, super crispy coating and a hint of Maillard aroma. Underneath was a lightly toasted, buttery slice of brioche. Cutting into the two poached eggs released gorgeous runny yolk that mixed with the sriracha-infused hollandaise—tangy, rich, silky, and incredibly satisfying.

🥑 AVO GO-GO Smoothie
Their smoothies are great too. The creaminess of avocado pairs so well with the sweetness of mango, plus the freshness of spinach and broccoli. Coconut, ginger, and lime brighten everything up. Not overly sweet, just lightly tangy and refreshing—one sip and you instantly feel healthier.

Overall, a lovely experience. Would happily come back!

What a breakfast! Full 5 out of 5 stars. I had an amazing sweet French Toast with banana bread - by far the best French Toast I ever had. My friends got the Full English which looked great and was delicious according to them. Also great coffee in nice big cups.
Only tiny downside was the location itself, which was in a residential area which was nothing special (no nice view, no nature, no old town flair).
But we would definitely come again!

Lovely brunch spot! The portions are big and really well presented. I especially loved the hummus with sundried tomatoes and the soft-boiled eggs and so tasty. The bread was fresh and fluffy, perfect to go with everything. Smoothies are also a must-try (mine came with rose petals 🌹).

Cozy vibe with books and plants, a nice place to chill and enjoy a slow morning.

I ordered the American Dinner, absolutely delicious! The perfect balance of sweet and savory, I could eat it forever!!!
My friend went for the Mediterranean Tray, which was not only huge but also super tasty, definitely packed with that exotic vibe.
We had two smoothies (mango and strawberry), and both were amazing. Next time, I’m definitely trying their new matcha series 🍵
I couldn’t help noticing the pancakes and toast on the next table, they smelled incredible. I seriously want to try everything on the menu.

There are Halal options on the menu. Pork is served and cooked separately. Alcohol is also served.
