Authentic restaurant experience in Barnet

“A great place!!! Fast, friendly, great product at a great price. I’ll be back next time I’m in London. Thank you”

“Sasha our waitress was the best. Loved her energy. Great service. Very busy as it was Christmas but still great service. Food was great all round. Had a mixture of steak pie, burger and fish and chips. An amazing pub to visit. Shout out to the chefs Dana and Mihai. Food came out pipping hot and fresh. Defo worth a visit if you’re in the area.”

“best falafel and sabich! balady was recommended to me by a friend and gosh is it tasty!! so warm and fresh, not too oily and so light! i can’t wait to go back nor can i believe it is so nearby!”

“love coming here food is nice and such good price ! but only let down is no high chair so cant come here often as i want to”

“Consistently good sushi from Waitrose Barnet. Very fresh and a great selection.”

“I order from them tonight for the first time since it has new ownership. Both my son and I thought the food was delicious! Arrived quickly will definitely order from them again, it will be my new Indian takeaway. I don't usually leave reviews but I felt compelled to.”

“Staff are friendly, place is clean, plenty of indoor seating, delicious food,”

“The Oak is a fantastic Chinese takeaway, I've never been to the restaurant itself but every time I have ordered from them it has been a fast delivery and always a friendly face. The food is exceptional and the portions are quite generous (if you're missing the Hot-Wok that closed on colney hatch lane a few years ago this is a perfect alternative). Overall great food and a lot of different menu options, highly recommend.”

“Amazing, have never been disappointed from this restaurant despite the negative reviews. This has been my local for years and it’s still as good, at least the items I order.”

“I ordered food here from Deliveroo and I just had to give a good review. I got the dimsum platter mixed for one which had a great variety. I got a spicy beef ramen which was flavourful and actually spicy! Also the portion size for that was really good too, enough for two. I also had some sesame balls which was a nice sweet treat in the end that wasn’t too sickly sweet. Really good quality food and will definitely buy from here again !!”

“Was looking for a local sushi place that doesn't use mayo in all their sushi and decided to give this place a go after a trip to the cinema. There was plenty of choice and at an affordable price and we opted for the 28 piece maki platter which was more than enough for 2 people and cost £14 The order was made fresh and took 5-10 minutes to prepare. There was a few selection of Japanese grocery goods and snacks and I was happy to see they had sweet soy sauce which I have been unable to find at a good price The sushi was very well made and tasted great There is a minimum spend of £5 to use card”

“Valerie's catered for our annual Community Awards event, which 150 guests attended. The food was amazing, the service was amazing and Sarah and Dwane were amazing too! So professional and wanted to provide the best service possible, which they did. The feedback we received from our guests were so positive, so a win, win! I would use them again and recommend them highly. Deborah :)”

“We fancied some seafood and headed down to Seawise Street Seafood Bar. We heard lots of good things and were not disappointed. We ordered the squid rings freshly prepared and cooked, and the butterfly King Prawns we asked for the spicy option. I must say they were the tastiest prawns I've ever had. The squid was delicious too. We also brought some cockles which were plump and not at all gritty, dressed crab and some shell on prawns. The crab came with coriander and red onion, which nicely complimented the crab. Very tasty and would highly recommend. Thank you for our tasty dinner.”

“After going to many different places in London to have a pizza, my wife and I have finally found the most delicious pizza ever! The pizza which they make here is far better than the others. We strongly recommend pizza Napolitana to anyone who loves the authentic pizza. The service and the atmosphere is very nice, and the chef is very pleasant and happy to feed you.”

“After trying jollof, I was in love with Nigerian food. I have tried Nigerian food at lot of places but Ijinle stands out and considering its close to where I live, it’s so convenient. My favourites are soup, jollof with beef and dodo.”

“Happy to discover this lovely new local café - great atmosphere, good food and drink - bread is freshly baked on the premises - and always a warm welcome from the very hospitable owner Gabriele.”

“We just came out of this feeling super full and satisfied. This is our second visit as I lobe their Chicken Katsu Curry. I tried sushi today and it’s yummy! It was super busy when we arrived and nearly ended up having take away but one of the staff, Elina, managed to accommodate us. She is super sweet, attentive and looked after us well. I would be bringing my friends and family around next time. Five stars for food, atmosphere, service and beer!”

“The last time I enjoyed authentic Satay Chicken, cooked to perfection on a charcoal BBQ with proper peanut sauce, was at Satay Corner, a delightful Hawker Centre in Singapore. Upon entering, we were warmly welcomed by the lovely husband and wife team, and our waitress, Tara, was outstanding. They made us feel like part of the family, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was buzzing with energy. We started with every Satay skewer on the menu - the sambal and peanut sauce were absolutely incredible! We then had the curries and their fried fish, finishing off with banana fritters for dessert. Wow, wow, wow! I will definitely be visiting again. It's wonderful to have an authentic Balinese restaurant right on our doorstep, offering a taste of something epic and local, without needing to venture into London.”

“This place is great. The service was superb my wife and I felt welcome and like home. The food was delicious. We ordered: burrata, mushroom cream soup, king prawns in garlic sauce, beef lasagne, and cremé caramel. We also had the house wine from Sicilia. Toilets and kitchen looked and were clean. There were several tables for 1-2 people, and many other for medium parties 6-8 people. We were given a shot of lime liquor at the end. The only negative aspect of the visit is seeing some flies inside, they were annoying. Sadly, this part stuck in our heads. Maybe they could be more careful with the back door.”

“Souv Like It is an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality. The ambience is inviting, blending modern aesthetics with traditional charm seamlessly. Their menu boasts an impressive selection of authentic Greek dishes, each one meticulously prepared with the freshest ingredients and bursting with bold flavours. Whether you're craving a classic gyro or feeling adventurous enough to try something new, Souv Like It caters to all tastes with finesse. The staff are exceptionally attentive and knowledgeable, always on hand to offer recommendations and ensure a memorable dining experience. Their dedication to detail and commitment to excellence truly shine through. I wholeheartedly recommend Souv Like It to anyone in search of an exceptional culinary journey. It's more than just a meal; it's a celebration of Greece's rich gastronomic heritage. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to savour more of their delicious offerings!”

“Arati is an unassuming restaurant on a side road amongst other restaurants which has a traditional charm about it. Decor is traditional, which provides a great atmosphere compared to more modern clinical decors. The staff are friendly and very attentive. The menu has a wide choice to suit everyone and even a section titled "English"! Food is fresh and cooked to perfection. On street parking only, which is possible on the single yellow lines from 7pm.”

“We had a wonderful meal there with friends. The decor is nice and the food is delightfully different from the usual Indian dishes. The staff and owner were very friendly and the final bill very reasonable. I would highly recommend making a visit”

“I visited The Olea today and enjoyed the granola and a chai latte. Loved the atmosphere and the owners were very friendly. Would definitely return and recommend.”

“Yokoso Japan is one of my favourite restaurants in Barnet - the quality of the food is amazing, and the range is great for such a quaint place. I frequently have dreams about the nasu dengaku ”

“Tasty food and friendly service! First time ordering from here and will be ordering in the future.”

“Popped into in today and shared a bowl of nachos with my wife, absolutely the best nachos I think I’ve ever had. We opted for pulled pork and guacamole. All the ingredients were fresh and vibrant. Will 100% be back to sample more from this menu. Apologies for not taking a photo before we ate it but I didn’t think it was going to be so good so hopefully the picture still shows how great it was.”

“Had a team dinner there, everyone enjoyed all 3 courses and our waiter Chris was very attentive and helpful with the dietary requests. Food was all lovely and the Christmas menu had some good options”

“Ordered take away recently from Loon Wah for my family and I. The food came just before the ETA that was mentioned on the phone, no complaints here for a Saturday evening. Food came hot and tasty, and wasn't like our past experiences elsewhere. We will definitely continue ordering Chinese from here going forward. I can see some reviewers mentioning about the pricing, to be honest in today's climate, it's money well spent for a takeaway. It's not like it's restaurant prices or anything.”
