Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

So farewell then, La Taperia - reabsorbed into Şelale, it seems.

I think it's now an ex-tapas bar.

I won't miss it.  I've never had such atrocious service.  A shame because the food was good.  I've never been to Selale but I'll give that a miss too.

The service at Selale is generally excellent - great food too.

I can't imagine it being much different as it's the same restaurant and same staff.  I made a booking for Valentine's Day at La Taperia for myself and a girlfriend.  Arrived and a waiter came up to us.  I said we had a booking for 8pm (we were on time).  He walked off.  He then passed us going in and out of La Taperia to Selale and back again over the course of the next ten minutes or so, with us just standing there wondering what was going on.  We finally approached the bar and spoke to the woman there to explain we had been standing around being ignored.  She went off and found a table for us.  Then we all turned around and the original waiter was seating another couple, who had just arrived, at that table.

It was quite difficult to attract anyone's attention to serve us for the rest of the evening too.

After that treatment I'm really not in a hurry to go back.

That sounds like a bad experience, Sarah. Who can blame you for feeling somewhat aggrieved. It's in no way typical of Selale though. Perhaps it was because the whole tapas thing never really worked out for them for one reason and another. I can assure you though that normal service at Selale is first class. Probably the friendliest Turkish restaurant on the strip with normally very attentive service.

I don't think you should give up. They just lodged another planning app for the exhaust flue.
