The Triangle
OK, I'm kind of ashamed to admit this but I only just tried the Triangle last week, after more than two years of living in Stroud Green and eating out in local restaurants pretty frequently. To be frank, the outside has always put me off. It just seemed a bit dismal and shabby, and I think I'd been put off by stuff I'd read on here, can't remember what. But anyway, my other half wanted to try it last Thursday, so we did.
At the risk of further exhibiting a PMA*, I absolutely loved it. The food - I had lamb tagine, can't remember what he had, but he liked it - was delicious, and the waitress was really lovely and friendly. I found the decor quite remarkable, and how cool is the ceiling with the persian carpets, the upside-down bed, tray of drinks & cigarettes etc? The atmosphere was great too. And while the food was on the expensive side, once I tasted it I thought it was worth it.
best of all, she said there's belly-dancing on Saturday nights! Anyone been? What's it like?

Some people on SGO have a real downer on it - dunno why - maybe it was the chef's off night when they went.
**You get what you pay for.
Could it really be a hidden gem, the reviews on SG.org seem to be a 50:50 split.
How's that for a 50:50 review all in one?
where is the triangle? is it the same as the auld triangle?
They have regularly changed the menu over the last few months after several years of offering exactly the same thing (kangaroo etc. as noted above).
Waitresses are extremely friendly and food is generally pretty good - my only complaint is that the music can get a bit loud and that the staff can't appear to find the volume control when you complain.
not sure the kangaroo really does it for me either, but it's the look / atmos that swings it - that and it being ludicrously local..
but wasn't there talk a while back about this place being closed down?
Posh? Holloway Road?

A meal in a place of the same quality in the West End would cost you double, easily, plus you'd be surrounded by posers.

On one of the two occassions I was ever in it (despite living on St. Thomas' Rd for 3 years) a girl had her head put through the window. By her boyfriend. Then said she was ok, didn't need an ambulance or no f******* police neither. Charming.
Still, it looks like they might share the same crappy outdoor furniture with the Triangle.
Residents prevented a change of use application last year, and there's bubbling rumours about a gastro conversion.

@georgiegirl I think they are closed on a Monday, so that could explain it?
