The 24 Best Brunches In London - London - The Infatuation
"When you commit to brunch at Dobar, you commit to a queue. How long you’ll wait depends on how close to 9am you get to this walk-in-only cafe. But it’s absolutely worth it for the XXL brunches at this Green Lanes spot. Whether it’s the hearty full English that arrives in a skillet pan, or the fluffy french toast covered in Nutella, clotted cream, and fruit, this is the right way to start any day." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

Whether it’s creamy eggs or the fluffy french toast covered in Nutella and fruit, this is the right way to start the day." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
The Best Restaurants In Harringay - London - The Infatuation
"When you commit to brunch at Dobar, you commit to waiting in a queue. How long depends on how early you get there, but the walk-in only halal brunch cafe on Green Lanes is popular for good reason.

Or almost any day of the week for that matter. It’s comfortable enough inside, with groups piling in and food arriving swiftly." - jake missing
Dobar - Review - Harringay - London - The Infatuation
"When you commit to brunch at Dobar, you commit to waiting in a queue. Whether it’s 10 minutes or half an hour really depends on how early you get there, but just know that there is always a wait at this walk-in only cafe on Green Lanes. It's a casual, rustic spot with exposed brick walls, and the kind of cosy tables you'd happily spend a couple of hours sat at—if the food didn't arrive so promptly, and get eaten up even faster. Whether it’s the hearty full English that arrives in a skillet pan, or the fluffy french toast covered in Nutella and fruit, this is the right way to start a Saturday. Or a Tuesday, or a Wednesday. Or any day for that matter. If this was our local, we’d likely be here at least once a week.

Came here in October 2025 on a Friday for a birthday breakfast for my boyfriend, and it was a great experience. Small intimate cafe with friendly staff, no booking and we were seated on arrival.
There were lots of options to pick from the menu - I went for the Fry Up Breakfast and my partner got the Signature OMG, as well as some halloumi to share. We both enjoyed our meals and would definitely recommend it to anyone that loves breakfast and brunch food. Great way to start the day.

Recently stayed with some family in Finsbury Park and stopped by Dobar for brunch on the way to the station - WOW!
From the moment we arrived we were treated with warm hospitality with servers offering us a table as soon as possible, taking our bags for safekeeping and even recommending dishes when we were being indecisive!
A lovely place for brunch in Finsbury Park, as long as you don’t mind paying for good quality ingredients! 🍳🥞

There was a bit of a queue when we got there, but the staff were great at keeping us updated and sat us very quickly. The food was delicious and arrived quickly and they have great coffee. I would highly recommend and will definitely be back there myself!

OVERVIEW
A good brunch spot!
PLUS
+ Overall the food was at a top 3* level. Although the dishes were well-presented, the flavour however was slightly less impressive than its appearance.
+ The menu featured a broad range of side dishes.
+ Formally welcoming staff and general OK service.
+ The modern and chic ambience made it a perfect chinwag spot, although the space felt a little cramped.
MINUS
- The overexposed and tightly arranged kitchen created a slight distraction from the dining experience.
- They did not accommodate simple requests, such as adding a side of cucumber.
- The restaurant could provide a QR code self-payment option at each table for quicker, hassle-free service.

My sister in law said Dobar always has a line during the weekend so we wanted to try it. We went during a week day so thankfully no line. The traditional breakfast is what I got and it was delicious. Her meal and my sons kids meal were delicious as well. Definitely a must try. Place was cute and service great as well.

Absolutely delicious food, friendly service, great crowd watching. Felt like I found the cool spot but it was a bonus because I came for the food. When you look around and want to try everything you didn't get, that's always a good sign.

Can I just say fantastic! Come hungry leave satisfied. The cappuccino with oat milk was a dream, the French tourist was nothing short of phenomenal. I mean wow is all I can say about that French toast and the clotted cream. My friend got the OMG and it was indeed oooh my God! Be prepared to wait in like probably 30 minutes or so but some be discouraged its ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!!
