Halal Lasagne is hard to find, so when we heard Cielo Prlr do Italian food we trecked it all the way to Colindale 🤗
.
The restaurant is beautifully decorated and very large, with a seperate shisha lounge, so we had high expectations for the food! For starters we ordered Calamari and Filo Parcels. In some places, the feta inside the Parcel is hard, but these were delicious as the cheese was warm and gooey 🤤 The Calamari wasn’t as crunchy as we like it to be but was still tasty. Naimul ordered the Adana with Bulgur Rice, which was standard. I, of course, asked for the Lasagne (what we came for 🤩). Again it was standard... we could tell that it had been made earlier and just warmed up, whereas we would have preferred it to be cooked fresh after ordering. The Mash was quite lumpy, which is fine if you like lumpy mash but we don’t 🙄 something else we’d like to mention is that although we were literally the only people at the restaurant, it was a little difficult to catch the attention of the staff. Not a huge issue usually, but we had to wait a while to ask for mayo for the chips!

@twopeasfoodies's review of Cielo Prlr Colindale on Instagram

CIELO PRLR

Went in a group of 7 and we all ordered different food so got a good feeling of the menu. Generally the fish meals were very average, didn’t enjoy the calamari at all. The steak and lamb dishes were well cooked but didn’t taste very fresh. Overall not bad but factoring in the cost, the price-quality is poor. You can definitely check it out but I won’t be returning.

Another Turkish restaurant trying to be upmarket and sophisticated

Went here for my daughters birthday restaurant is very nice and well setup.

We were shown to our table and given the menu which has the same has most Turkish restaurants but also has steaks and a good fish selection.

I ordered the mix shish, wife and oldest daughter ordered chicken with mash and youngest ordered beef dish.

We also ordered drinks and a starter.

Drinks came but they only brought three glasses i told the waiter and she said they will bring another, 20 minutes later still no glass for the wife.

A starter is suppose to come before your mains that is the whole point of a starter, well guess what the starter came with the main meals i brought that up with the waiter and she said they are very busy that is why it did not come.

Ok to the food, very poor quality food lacked taste and was not appealing at all, they should provide some sort of sauces and at least salt and pepper but nothing.

The waiting staff have very little customer service skills for the price you are paying to eat there its not worth it at all.

Unless you have money to burn i would not recommended this place at all and the other thing parking is a nightmare everywhere it ia double yellow lines.

So take your money elsewhere don't waste your time here

I loooove them! Thr staff are amazing! Honestly they are the best. I took my mum and 2 auntie out for a meal and it was the perfect venue. Classy and trendy. The jazz music in background was the perfect touch, maybe because I love the sound of the saxophone. 😊 but lighting was perfect too. The food was deliciou. I particularly loved the prawns we had for starters, but my aunties liked the goats cheese and mushroom. Lamb shank was just perfect too!

I visited on 26th August which was a Wednesday with a friend. Our meal was eligible  for the help out to eat out scheme.

What We We ordered

DRINKS
Watermelon  Daiquiri-  couldn't taste Watermelon but lovely
Rum cocktail-lovely

Starters:
Prawns  - very tasty, and would recommend
Seafood kofte - edible but I wouldn't recommend  it.

MAIN
Stuffed seabass with mushrooms  and spinach£23- tasty but extremely  small.
Lamb shank£16 tasty and filling.

We arrived and there was one receptionist dealing with a telephone  enquiry. We had to wait to be seated for about 6 to 10 mins for her to finish. There were other staff around who could have helped  but didn't.

I had the seabass and had asked the waitress before ordering  if it came as a full meal  or if I had to order sides. She informed me that it came with vegetables  so there was no need to order sides.  I have included  a picture of what I was actually  served, which was literally  a small fillet stuffed with a small amount of mushrooms  and spinach with an orange sauce . To top it off, it  was also served on a chipped plate. I was left very hungry and underwhelmed.  When I queried where the rest of my meal was, the waitress replied that the vegetables were inside the fish??!

The price difference  between the lamb shank and the seabass was disproportionate  as the lamb was 5 times the size but cost £7 less.

We asked for the bill and the waitress asked if everything  was OK.  My friend was satisfied  with her lamb and I expressed my dissatisfaction with my meal. The waitress     apologised  and went to speak with her supervisor and we saw her explaining  the situation  to him. This waitress  never returned with the bill or any sort of explanation and the supervisor  did not speak to us either. We got fed up and  asked someone else for the bill , paid and left to go to the shisha lounge next door (where we also had an issue with things added  to our bill that we had not ordered and also had to visit the cash point as they only accept cash  -not very covid safe).

By the time we left, we had been served by 4 different people. There are no covid safety measures in place either. Tables are not sat 1m apart.

Plus points:
#The staff were generally pleasant and
friendly.
#The cocktails, prawns and mains were tasty.

Needless to say, I will not be returning, and I wouldn't advise anyone else to visit. The management of this place is obismal. CERTAINLY NOT FINE DINING.

Friendly Staff.
Tasty Food.
Accessible place.

This is our second time here.
We got same service like our first time around a week ago.
By far this is our fave go to places for breakfast/brunch
If you wanna meet friends/family, you can bring them here. Very nice ambience.

We don't mind going back every atleast once a week😊

Halal meat is available. Please ask before ordering.
