Deluxe Manna in Haringey

I found this place absolutely spontaneously. I love African food and wanted to explore this place. I really loved the interior, very sophisticated and cozy. The food was absolutely delicious and cheaper than I expected. Waitresses were nice but I could see they are bored as there were not many customers at that moment. I loved the music. Toilet was very clean. I definitely will come back there soon!

Good food and music, would recommend their platters and beef skewers

Portion sizes were great, very filling. The aesthetic is lovely too. In terms of facilities, their bathroom isn't accessible and there is a slight step as you enter the restaurant. Overall would go there again.

I went to eat at Deluxe on Monday 17th at around 19:00 with my sister and my experience was bad.The customer service is very poor. There were two waitresses one Leila and another one with an afro ponytail, who did not even want to learn the name because she was just very unprofessional on the phone all the time and touching her hair (in a restaurant!).We were given the table next to the door (table 6) and I asked if we could be moved to a different one because that one was too close to the door and it was cold. We were moved to table 8, still not helpful and the waitress with the ponytail looked annoyed by my request. The restaurant was empty, but she was very unfriendly and did not move us in the middle of the restaurant.Another couple came and were put to seat on table 9, they also asked to be moved, but the same waitress told them that all other tables for two are reserved, even table 6 (lie because she put me on table 6 before, so was it not reserved before?). Remember the restaurant was empty and we stayed until about 21:00 and no one came to the "reserved" tables.Leila was much more friendly and nice. I am glad she is the one who served us our meal because she was very nice.Food was really nice and I loved my Pineapple manna. The food is actually what made me rate the experience 3 stars, delicious!At the end of the meal, when we were still there, the two waitresses went to sit next to us eating their meal. I do not find this professional at all because we were customers and had to "interrupt" them eating because we needed to pay and the waitress even came with the food still in her mouth to take my payment. How can the only two waitress working BOTH went to seat and eat while customers still in the restaurant?I think you should really improve on your customer service as the food you provide is delicious, but the customer service does not make the experience a good one.

The food is amazing. It’s a bit pricey but the amount of food you get makes up for it. The restaurant looks nice. The customer service is okay. I couldn’t finish my food so I had to take the rest home. I had put my food in a takeaway container. I asked the staff to help me and she said she wasn’t allowed to. I don’t know why, maybe because of Covid. So because of that I’m giving it 4 stars. I also wanted cocktails but was told no cocktails that day. Overall it’s great food and ambiance

I visited this restaurant for a friend's birthday dinner. The decor of the restaurant is very nice and the pineapple juice I ordered was lovely but that is where the positives end. Once everyone at our table were ready to order we had to call over a waitress as nobody came over to check with us if we had ordered or were okay. After placing our orders the drinks came within a 10 minute waiting time. Unfortunately our food took over an hour to arrive, during this time the waitress avoided our table and when we did call her over to ask about the waiting time we were given many excuses as to why we had been waiting so long. There was no offer of a complimentary starter or snack for having to wait so long and we were told we could not have anything on the house. Our request to speak to a member of management was ignored. When the food did arrive, my fried rice was oily both it and the lamb ribs lacked flavour. There is no mention of a service charge anywhere on the menu and the waitress failed to inform us of it. Had we known we would have asked for it to be removed as nothing about our experience at this establishment was worthy of the charge. This was a very poor first experience and sadly after looking forward to trying this restaurant I will not be visiting again.

Nice environment. The lamb ribs were lovely and the plantain was great. The rest of the food was okay but the rice dishes and Ntaba was over seasoned.Most of the staff were lovely but we were overcharged for a number of items, when we brought this to one particular staff members attention he tried to insist we read the menu wrong causing a big fuss which ruined the visit towards the end, there were also a lot of promising items on the menu that they did not have and according to staff have never stocked.(Let your staff at least try the food or give them a better discount so they can recommend with confidence)

Just visited Deluxe Manna and if it wasn't for the food, I would have given it a 1 star.Upon arrival my table booking was confirmed and after being sat down it took about 20 minutes for someone to ask whether we had been served. I specifically asked what I could order as starters which would be quick to arrive as we were starving! I was told to order the battered prawns and puff puff which I agreed to.10 minutes passed and the waitress returned to tell us that there was no puff puff and the kitchen would start it at 6pm.... a further 20 minutes passed and another waitress came to tell us that there were no prawns so by lack for availability, we ordered chicken wings which were undeniably delicious.We ordered cocktails which showed as 2 4 1 happy hour if you bought the same drink at the same time but was then told by the waitress that the cocktails weren't 2 4 1 and they also weren't available as the bar person was running late. As an alternative, we ordered an Origin Beer and..... you guessed it, we're told several minutes later that this was unavailable.Our waitress expressed her disappointment saying that she'd only been working there for a month and didn't like that the kitchen didn't communicate with them.To avoid any further upset, we ordered 2 Manna platters between 4 people which took almost an hour to come out.When the food came however, the food was ridiculously good..... VERY authentic and it's clear that the kitchen know what they are doing.My advice would be to ask the kitchen what they have available before ordering to avoid disappointment. Also, the platter is better between 2 people and not 4 as the menu suggests.The 2 stars were based on the food only but stars deducted as the service was just not good at all and more could be done to easily make the customer experience better.

Being half Congolese and living with my Spanish side makes me miss my Congolese home food. Visiting Deluxe Manna was amazing. I was able to enjoy my home food for a reasonable price, in a beautiful setting with the aid of some lovely staff members. A big shout out to Aaliyah who served me and my friend. She made sure we were happy with our dishes! 1000% visiting again!

The food is absolutely delicious no question about it. Since the renovation I can also see a difference in the service. There is more staff and the staff are kind and want to make you happy. I have given 5 stars because I always leave so happy but they have a problems with over booking though. I have always arrived early and booked before 7:30 and had no problems but last time I was there I went outside and saw a long queue of people waiting, these are people that also had a reservation
