Saturday afternoon I called cafe Hampstead to ask if it were possible for my boyfriend and I to walk in and have a table for 2 for lunch. The lady on the phone proceeded to tell me they were fully booked and did not accept walk ins. As we were in the area we decided to try our luck. When we arrived there were two tables sat down having lunch and we were told we were allowed a table straight away. So the lady on the phone had out right lied and was turning away business. Our experience didn t get much better after this. The food was bland and over priced. Especially the chicken thighs and Israeli salad. The plastic glasses we were served water in were dirty. The manager a loud and unwelcoming woman, whom walks around with holes in her tights. All in all the staff are also quite scruffy, wearing hoodies, jeans and one a Nike gym shirt with his headphones around his neck?! still serving people. It s such a shame because the interior of Cafe Hampstead could be beautiful but it s unkept and dirty. It seems like all the staff do not care. This place will not last long.
