Today, 23/9/24 at 10:00am I happened to be in the area I grew up in (I moved to south London a year and a half ago) I saw Oh lala on my local high street while visiting. I was surprised to see such a lovely place in Enfield. I went in to look around, look at the menu and buy a coffee. While there I also quickly used the bathroom and waiting for my bus outside of the rain. You had two tables so that would not have been an inconvenience to your team. However the staff thought I had gone as I was sitting in front of the coffee machine. Not realising I was in ear shot (all 3 staff) were taking about me saying I’d only come to use the bathroom and laughing. As I quickly did while there. I may have come back there with my friends for my birthday in December but I won’t now. I won’t ever visit again. And I’ll tell my friends and family not to bother too if they ask my thoughts.

We never intended to stay so long anyway but the fact we was informed of this became a bit of a spoiler on the occasion. Rather than look after the customers they have, the management have become set on trying to be greedy.. none of us are Somali but love the culture and cuisine and we have now had our experience dampened and unfortunately have been put off returning to this restaurant. I explained we have a few kids with special needs who eat a lot slower but they weren’t phased. It’s a shame as I persuaded my family about this place but now none want to return due to feeling exploited for their custom. I do hope they review this aggressive tactic to...
