New to London Met University, I was walking around aimlessly looking for cheap food when I stumbled…read moreinto Sphinx. What attracted me to it was the insanely low prices they were advertising on the door. Their most prominent deal was a burger of choice, fries, AND a can of coke ALL FOR £1.99. I was in shock so I had to go inside. The place has sort of a weird set up. A very long and large counter for ordering engulfs nearly half the space. This leaves a relatively low amount of seating/standing for the size of the place, but they've still got about four, four person tables and a counter against the window. I was greeted by a kind looking Turkish (?) man who didn't seem to be totally great at the English language but was trying. The menu has lots of varieties of burgers, pizza, and Turkish dishes, all for incredible prices. I wasn't sure what to get, so while I was staring at the menu he shows me this experimental tuna pizza he was concocting. He picked up a slice for me and told me I could have it for free. I really don't like fish so I politely said no thank you but he continued to demand I eat it. He eventually stopped trying to convince me, but we went back and forth for a solid couple of minutes. Such a nice guy. Anyways, after choosing a 7" mini Margarita pizza which was listed at £2.50, I got a bottle of water and waited. I saw he was actually making the pizza fresh which was nice, not sticking in a pre-made pie. Eventually the pizza was finished and it actually appeared to be the 10" size which is 50 pence more expensive. I was surprised at how great and flavorful it tasted. For that price and for the type of place I thought it was (cheap, etc), it shocked me. As a New Yorker I hold pizza in high esteem, and he did a great job!!! When I paid for it, which was after I finished eating, I had to tell him how great of a job he did and he was very thankful. He charged me £3 total, which is definitely less than it actually was priced (pizza was larger than 7" plus the water was at least a pound). The place was empty for the entire duration of my meal until the very end when a woman came in and took advantage of the £1.99 burger/fries/drink deal. I hope he gets more customers! Albeit I was eating there at 4 PM so it wasn't rush hour. On an unrelated note, I noticed a crest on the plate I was eating on. It said "My Word Is My Bond." Decided to look it up and found that it is the English translation of the Latin phrase "Dictum Meum Pactum" which is the motto of the Coat of Arms for the London Stock Exchange. Not sure what to make of that.

I love a good Sunday roast! Especially when you have a bit of a group to share with. For starters,…read morewe had the PIG'S HEAD on Toast, which paired beautifully with pickled chilies and Blacklock gravy. For the main event, we went for the "ALL IN" roast, which included a mix of beef, lamb, and pork, along with Yorkshire pudding, duck fat-roast potatoes, a selection of seasonal vegetables, and their delicious gravy. Also tried the CAULIFLOWER AND FOUR CHEESES, but surprisingly, I thought it could have been cheesier! ENJOY! PS: Make sure you have a reservation!

Amazing staff and great location…read more I was very worried about the lamb as I absolutely hate it in the states but the staff let me try it first prior to me ordering the all in as it's one of the 3 meats. I absolutely loved the lamb in here which again is surprising since I can't stand the flavor in the states no matter how it is cooked here. The pork is amazing is tender and very juicy. Same can be said about their steak. The Gravy is amazing on everything on the all in. I definitely used a lot of it on their roasted potatoes which is both crispy on the outside and creamy and fluffy on the inside. We ordered for starter their mushroom on a sourdough toast which is very creamy and delicious I highly recommend don't skip on this. I enjoyed the environment of the restaurant.

Sat down and ordered just a starter, I didn't need more than a little starter, so a standard sized sharing platter will be fine! A standard sized platter it was not, it was enormous! We were brought three bowls at first and thought we should check online thinking they'd forgotten part of our order, but before we managed, we were brought ten, that's right, ten more bowls, and bread, all only 15 quid! I felt awful now finishing it, but I would have burst! Pleasant staff, bustling sort of noise without them trying to blast music over it. Super tasty, and the mains look even more proportionally huge!

My sister had made a reservation but I can see how this restaurant gets busy - especially for big events. I hear they host large weddings often. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff was very friendly. They had a wide selection of beers and wines. The best part of the meal was the dessert afterwards. We ordered 5 different puddings to share and they were all amazing. I liked that it was in a quiet neighborhood but could see how some people may not stumble upon it since it is not on the main Church Street where most of the other pubs are in the area. Overall, it was the perfect meal to put us all in the Christmas spirit!

Admittedly its on one of the prettier streets of the northern suburbs, but its not quite in the West End, is it?! The food is pretty good though, even on the pricey side. Some of the cocktails are good too, and you can chill out to DJ music on Friday and Saturday. The yummy mummys that take over Stoke Newington have adapted this pub as a local hangout on Sundays - why only Sunday?! So although the Sunday roast is good, its best to carry earplugs to protect your hearing and enjoy your meal. If you choose the right time to visit however, you will find a great atmosphere, especially during the late evening on the weekend.
