More 'Up the Holloway'


The Green Jade, 219 Holloway Road is a great place for Chinese food, take-away or sit down. It is more of a cafe than a restaurant but the quality of the food is excellent and very cheap.

I have lunch there quite often and on one of my recent visits overheard the following discourse between a customer and the woman behind the counter.

The punter had been standing looking at the menu for a good few minutes and then said "I don't like chinese food", the counter woman replied "well this is a chinese restaurant", "yeah but haven't you got anything else", "no, you will have to go somewhere else", "don't be so rude", "i'm not being rude, this is a chinese restaurant"
- at this point she walks out complaining loudly!!!

I wonder if she goes into her local Fish & Chips shop and asks for a Chicken Tikka Masala???
