Ora Cafe in Haringey

Amazing venue, second time here. Drinks are gorgeous and the food is lovely and hot on arrival ! Staff are very welcoming and hospitable - will definitely be back. Also a gorgeous date night venue for the couples 😊

I went here with 3 other friends for a birthday dinner and it was one of the best dining experiences I have experienced, the security at door was really polite and professional, we were then greeted by a really friendly and smiley waiter who seated us to our table, the food was really tasty with generous portions and on time, the cocktails were delicious and the music was very good, the prices was also really reasonable. I would definitely be returning and would advise everyone to go and enjoy themselves with good food, drinks and music.

Lale Olesea and My brother Birthday and we amazing time in ora lounge and he is ty and bar staff pierro coctail best l love the place

Service was shocking went there on valentines days waited 1hr for the food . We was not advised that items was missing from the set menu. When we complained about the service we was told what do you expect. I was a regular customer and recommended to a lot of people . I have now had two bad experience and will not be returning. Service is key to a successful business.

I've Have Been Here To DJ A Few Times, It Has Fantastic Food & A Shisha Lounge. Great Vibes All Around, Friendly Staff & Great Service!

Slow service. Cold draft even though they had heaters on. Food was nice but because of the cold draft, got cold very quickly, hot drinks got cold quickly too especially because the tea pot didn't have a tea candle underneath to keep warm.Shisha however was very very good.Toilet seat broken but not removed - hazardous - nearly slipped and fell. Told member of staff-seemed like they already knew just hadn't done anything about it.

I don’t know where to start with this place. I booked a table for 10 people for shisha and drinks, at no point were we advised that they had another booking from X time. As soon as we walked in the corridor the place was still under construction, we were super confused as to whether the place was open or not. Headed upstairs and were told to have a seat and wait (waited 5 mins which is fine), during this wait we were asked what we wanted to drink, we weren’t even given a menu to see what sort of drinks they have. Finally a menu came but man oh man the service was the slowest and poorest that I’ve ever come across. Working in 5*star hospitality I have certain expectations but I don’t expect much when I enter certain venues because I know what it will be like but if you want to market yourself as this bougie shisha place you need to step up the service. Drinks would take forever to be brought to the table and I’m talking Prosecco, or wine, it’s not difficult, you post the item in micros system and you take the drinks to the table, wow it didn’t work that way, we waited at least 45 minutes for some items. We also ordered food which was the blandest food that I’ve ever had. The Cajun chicken was definitely not Cajun seasoned, I was expecting that it would have flavour a bit of spice, KFC chicken has more zing. All in all we had a great time because as friends we can banter wherever we are, but for £469 I definitely would not recommend this place to anyone nor would I visit again. A lot needs to change in this place first because they market themselves so highly. It’s very well suited for the 3 young girls that had been sitting next to us and then moved, they were in their element, me as a 30+ year old was not and all of us noticed the faults.

I've become a regular here recently, Ora is a really nice lounge with friendly staff that are on the ball.Sometimes the security do body and bag searches on the door, which felt very unesssary on my first visit but now feels really reassuring now !The food is really good here and the portions are generous ! The value for money is great compared to other shisha lounges of this standard. I got the three steaks that comes with a gorge salad and 3 different potatoes. It arrived medium, which was lucky as our waiter forgot to ask how I like it. It was delicious and I look forward to ordering it again.The shisha itself is tasty and I would recommend allowing staff to choose a flavour for you, they know what they're doing and I've enjoyed every flavour they've surprised us with so far. The shisha lasts long and comes with a very nice quaker head for the coals, keeping them contained, and us - safe.Unfortunately the cocktails here are all way too sweet, I've ordered the bramble, mojito, and bamboo and they've all come sickly sweet. My guests have ordered mojito mocktails and they also commented on the sickly sweetness of the drinks.I really enjoy Ora's balance of an upscale restaurant with the casualness of a shisha venue, if it was overly fancy like say The Banc, we probably wouldn't be visiting several times a week and would make a visit only on special occasions. (If that makes sense)Music is usually 10/10Expect them to play genre's according to who's in the building hahaSo I've heard everything here from Greek music, afrobeats, house, UK grime, dance hall, pop etcProsGorgeous loungeGood variety musicGreat selection of shisha flavoursPleasant and professional staffBalances casual and upscale very wellConsSound system isn't great so can hurt your ears if you're seated close to itCocktails are way too sweet

Speakers were absolutely awful, song choice was not great at all I feel that they should put more R&B/afrobeats on and have the DJ in the lounge area rather than the dining restaurant part as it attracts more customers and speakers would not be needed , food was decent but nothing spectacular, presentation is decent. Vibe was more of a older audience I would say 25+.

On the surface it looks very nice , however it’s was very cold we sat there with our coats on . When we mentioned this to the staff they made some excuse about the heating had just been put on .Only one ladies toilet which the seat was completely broken, again an excuse ( it was a customer)The food was slow to reach the table, when it did most of it was cold . Had then to wait for the replacement. Quality of food poor and not good value for money. Confusion drinks the whole evening. Bad service all round , staff need more training.
