With so many good restaurants in Crouch End you can't afford to be slack, which makes you wonder what is going on at Bouga. We waited over 30 mins for a drink. Rubbish service and waiters were not friendly. The food was ok but mine was inedible. Did they care? They didn't even notice. Toilets stink. Cash only, so had to go to a cash machine. My advice to Bouga, you really need to put the customer first. Take a tip to the Olive Tree or Arocaria and discover what great service is!!!

Terrible service - we waited for 30 minutes to get a drink. Waiters unfriendly (stark contrast to the Olive Tree next door or the Arocaria Greek restaurant across the road which has brilliant service).
Food was ok (not great) in general but my lamb was inedible. I was surprised they cleared my plate seeing I'd not eaten a thing. Even the dumbest waiter should have asked why? The loos stink! And right by their scruffy kitchen. Not impressed. Belly dancer was good. Won't be going back again, especially when Crouch End has so many better restaurants.

I booked at Bouga for my birthday last Saturday (19th November 2011) and after reading all these bad reviews I was really scared for the decision I had made and I was about to cancel , but having invited so many people over I decided to go through with the booking.
I must say that the bouga people must have read all these reviews, because what I experienced there was nothing like it was described from other diners.
The atmosphere was amazing, the decor superb, warm and cosy, the service the friendliest and most effective the food amazing and on top of that a little cake surprise for my birthday.
Thank you Bouga for an amazing night

Don't bother eating at this restaurant where the food is mediocre, service non-existent, and prices high. The staff seemed much more interested in talking amongst themselves and serving drinks for them selves than serving us. We had to cancel one of the dishes which did not arrive even after a couple of reminders. We were reliably informed that the oil was still being heated up!!! The young woman waitress needs to learn some social skills. Not one word of apology since the waitress said that the poor service had nothing to do with her. If possible, we would give this restaurant half a star!

DO NOT GO TO BOUGA, CROUCH END.I don't know where to start, and I'm sure I will forget one of the many things that they managed to get wrong last night during my meal out with 3 friends.-Appalling customer service, rude and non-welcoming.-They managed to double up on the starters, forgot a main course and gave us tap water and charged us for sparkling water.-Waited an hour for main course.-When the food came it was the smallest, blandest piece of chicken swimming in oil.-Charged us for the extra starters that we sent back.-When they realised they'd forgotten a main course, they quickly put a bowl of chick peas and some tomato in the microwave and nuked it. This IS NOT Moussaka.-Completely stitched us up with the voucher we had and messed up the bill TWICE.UNBELIEVABLE. DO.NOT.GO

very very disappointed, bouga did not leave up to expectation. starters not bad but on the small size main course , hard to tell if it was moroccan very westernised, no spice , no harissa with the couscous very blend aslo dont get the king prawn tagine, 3 tiny prawns ,3 potatoes and carrots and that is your main course , awful.. Service not great had quite an argumentative waitress, quite a few dishes not available and dessert ... well get yourself a jar of lemon curd, bought pastry and rename lemon tart!! bad.

Thanks Bouga for a fantastic night. It was my girlfriend’s birthday and she asked me to take her to Morocco so she could buy up the Casbah. Well, my budget couldn’t quite stretch to that so I took her and some pals to the little Marrakesh in Crouch End. Food was excellent, service great, overall good value considering the number of pina coladas they (that’s my girlfriend and her sister) drank and best of all was the atmosphere. For a while anyway, we really felt as though were on holiday; the only trouble was, we were disappointed when we left to find we were still in Crouch End!
