Authentic tastes 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!”

“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.”

“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 :)”

“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.”

“Beautiful pizza, traditionally made in a wood fired oven. My kids love this place above all other pizza.”

“Great little shop with very helpful staff. Ordered lots of fresh home made food for Christmas, which was delicious!”

“One of my favourite pubs, for the interior and friendly staff. Outside is well catered for with large parasols. Food is good for the price. But make sure you get your dessert order in.”

“I’ve ordered from this restaurant multiple times, and they never disappoint. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and of amazing quality. You can truly taste the care and authenticity in every dish. It’s consistently been my go-to spot for Persian food in London, and in my opinion, they serve the best Persian cuisine in the city. Highly recommend!”

“We absolutely love this fish and chip restaurant and have been going there for many years. The food is delicious, the staff wonderful - in particular the lovely Ella. The owner Sam is the kindest and most gentle man and we love Sema and Ben whom we have known for many years. We often joke joke about biting a table on an annual basis and often friends and family join us for dinner too. You will not be disappointed if decide to try it.”

“I have been ordering take away from here for many years. My go to dish is Chicken Madras. I’ve tasted this dish in numerous other places and it has NEVER tasted as good as curry leaf. All other dishes are great too. The food is fresh, non greasy and of a very high standard, especially compared to what I have experienced elsewhere. The owner himself is so pleasant and friendly, holding good relationships with all new and existing customers. I would highly recommend to anyone. 5 stars all round”

“Only had a tenner cash - asked for their suggestion for food which understandably is a big ask. I got a delicious sweet and sour main as well as a fried rice for just under ten pounds. The food was amazing, service was amazing for accepting my request, and last of all I spent no more than 5 minutes waiting for my food. Good £10 well spent.”

“This small mom and pop take-out shop serves good Chinese food that will not alarm or confuse local appetites. Been back a few times and it has not disappointed yet. However they only accept cash - no cards. Looks like they do a decent amount of delivery too. Friendly staff.”

“Super fresh and clean Indian food, full of flavour and without the surfeit of oil which so despoils takeaways. We are converts.”

“Ordered very late at night but food still came within 25 minutes of ordering and very hot !! The website was super easy to navigate, and one of the few places that still let you pay in cash for delivery. I had the cheesy garlic bread slices and a plain cheese pizza, both very delicious, generous amount of cheese and a good size for the price. Will defo order again, thank you !!”

“Good quality and service. Beef with black bean sauce and sweet and sour chicken the highlights. Ash is always polite and tells me when the food will arrive. Once it came late and he gave me a call to tell me what was happening.”

“Really helpfull staff, all other post offices in barnet/ finchley try to make me pay more or use a more exspensive service this one don't. There also seems to be a constant supply of rude entitled young adults that threaten and abuse staff there as they are entitled. The staff always stay calm and remain professional”
