Wanda Cafe- Green Lanes

Wanda Cafe is a new restaurant on Green Lanes- about 5 shops along from The Salisbury - there was previously a bar and the layout remains virtually unchanged.

It opened last Friday and I just happened across it and having had a  nice lunch I booked for my birthday last night (largely because they had marinated octopus on the menu which I haven't seen anywhere else locally).

We had a selection of hot and cold mezes, cocktails, beers coffees and a birthday cake on the house. It was all very good and although mediterranean it is quite different to the other local Turkish restaurants.

The owner previously ran Cilicia (now closed) in Stoke Newington Church Street. 

It wasn't busy,as you might expect on a Tuesday in their opening week, but had a relaxed vibe, attentive service and cool jazz playing in the background (Nice!).

I recommend it - give it a go.
