The 30 Best London dining experience in Barnet

“We love The Od Courthouse Cafe. A gem in High Barnet, especially when you have smaller children. The coffee is great (alternative milks available), food has a good variety (GF and Vegan, and dairy free) and there is plenty of space and ride one toys to keep them occupied whilst you can actually enjoy a cup of coffee, great cake and chat. We frequently come, especially during the summer. The community is what helps make a cafe like this so great, everyone is friendly, locals donate preloved ride ons/ sand toys and children have already been friendly and played so well.”

“I would rate this 6 stars if I could! The food was fantastic (best brunch I’ve had in a long time!) and the staff were warm and friendly - couldn’t have been lovelier! We’ll definitely be back”

“First of all, I want to say thank you! the man who I believe is the owner, and the lovely girls who work here, are always smiling and kind. The way they greet you can truly brighten your entire day. Next, the quality of the food and coffee is really impressive — everything tastes fresh and well-prepared. Another great thing about this café is the prices — very reasonable for the quality you get! Thanks to the Bean Café & Bistro team for the amazing job you’re doing. Keep it up!”

“Megan and her team did an amazing job of looking after us all for my husband’s family birthday bash. We were a large group and were able to have the restaurant side of the pub exclusively for us. It was such a lovely evening! The food was delicious and staff couldn’t have done more to help us. We will definitely be back to eat again soon. Thanks for having us!”

“Had a lovely Sunday dinner here (12/10). The chicken skewers were delicious & the portion size was perfect. Our server was very attentive too. Will be back soon!”

“Expensive but delicious, sweet and sour prawn balls and vegetarian hor devours. Only suggestion is to have slightly larger steam holes as it was a bit steamed by the time it arrived. Will visit again for delivery order, ordered on Google Just Eat. Due to price though wouldn't be too often.”

“Really nice restaurant! The best pizza I’ve had locally I think. The service was good and the staff were friendly. Pasta was also nice! Highly recommend.”

“Chicken gyros wrap was absolutely delicious, best food in the village. Staff were friendly and helpful and prices are really reasonable. Can’t wait to go back”

“Delicious for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Always lovely freshly made food with attentive and friendly service. Never disappoints”

“This is my favourite Thai restaurant in my area. The portions are extremely generous and the taste is just delicious! Not to mention the price, which is affordable and fair for the amount of food we get. I love this place.”

“I only ever order from here when I want Thai food! It’s honestly my favourite spot in North london. So tasty and authentic, portion sizes are great and the standard is consistently great too! My favourites are the Tom Yum soup, Thai basil chicken and the drunken noodles. Mak aroy! Izzy x”

“We had the Christmas menu. It was delicious from start to finish. Although it was all incredible, the marmalade ice cream was very special. Staff were all fantastic even on a very busy evening. Polite, friendly and very efficient.Two tiny disappointments were a lack of festive arrangements on the tables and no winter ales on tap but in no way deflected from a lovely evening, at a very fair price. Thanks to all.”

“One of the best place for pizza hunters pizza is so delicious yummy staff are really welcome and Friendly to the customers iam long time customer”

“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.”

“The most unbelievable Caribbean take away, love this food, keep looking for good places which isn’t the easiest living in Barnet, but usually really disappointed , finally tried here last night and the food was absolutely top drawer, Curry Goat was so good, so much meat (not just bone like some places), and fresh tasting, jerk wings.....rice......all REALLY REALLY good, and this is coming from someone who complains about everything!!! Highly recommend it, can’t wait to finish off mine for breakfast. Will be a regular customer from now on. Delicious.”

“Went for a small family meal and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, the friendly professional service and welcoming atmosphere. Word or warning though try to hold back on the starters so you have space for the main course. Food range and quality better than the average Chinese restaurant and very reasonably priced. Our new go to restaurant for Chinese food. Thank you”

“First time trying this place with my family. We loved it! He also gave us a free hummus dip and salad. Thank you! We will come back for sure”

“Really great place since the refurbishment. Lovely dining room and then the bar separate with a good quality pool table. Very friendly service and the bar tenders are always helpful with helping me choose something new to try. Clean, good environment and lovely food. The portions are decent. Nice that there is seating outside for us smokers”

“The Red Lion Restaurant in High Barnet is a charming venue with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Alongside their delicious menu of classic and modern dishes, they also offer a great selection of drinks to complement your meal. The friendly service and cozy ambiance make it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal, drinks, or a special gathering. Highly recommended!”

“Came to this store to pick up an item, while searching a young and lovely staff member approached and asked if she could help. Mentioned the product i was looking for and she immediately assisted found the item and brought it to me with a big smile on her face the whole time. Thank you.”

“Very nice and tasty food. I especially appreciated the food's swetness and the variety of flavours, which was the common feature for most dishes, and the way they've been arranged on the plate.”

“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”

“All the way from Essex, we were staying in a local hotel for the weekend and decided we wanted Veg Thai food. I must say we have had Thai in many places, but this place was so authentic, and felt homemade. Highly recommend the Pad Thai Noodles, Tom Yum, and Tom Kha soup. Generous Portions & Amazing Staff.”

“I've eating here many times and the food has always been on point. I've attended with friends and family and neither have been disappointed. The food always tastes good and there is a variety to choose from. We mainly go for the meze as it has a mixture of dips, fish and meat dishes. The portions are reasonable sized.”

“What can I say, but WOW! Compared to other "coffee shops" in the area, it has a more extensive menu. Compared to cafes in general, the food was fresh and flavoursome, the staff were warm and friendly and the atmosphere was cordial and relaxing. The tables were very clean and even shiny. Nothing to fault this for, and it even has a garden you can sit in.”

“Always visit this fantastic place when i am in the area. Always a warm welcome, staff can’t do enough for you. Great menu, great food, great value. Highly recommended. Five Stars”

“Visited Mayhill’s for the first time last night and my friends and I absolutely loved it! The food was exceptional, the tiger prawns were hands down the best we’ve ever eaten! The drinks were delicious, the service was excellent. The DJ and belly dancer were great but we would’ve liked more entertainment for a Saturday night but other than that we’d highly recommend it.”

“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.”
