Lunch restaurants in Barnet

“Very nice polite opens about 4.30 am close about 14.00 Small but very friendly staff always more than happy to help. Feels very good price bird for what you get”

“What looks both from the outside and the inside like a standard greasy spoon cafe in fact serves the most fantastic food For breakfast and lunch with a very friendly owner, a dedicated team of staff and is spotlessly clean. My veggie option for £10 had two poached eggs on mashed avocado on sourdough, old style baked beans, a piece of hash brown, mushrooms, halloumi and a good size fresh salad. Unbelievably good. My friend had roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and described it as absolutely perfect With the meat being very tender.”

“Windows clean very clean environment excellent service very well cooked fish and chips will be going back for more a friendly place thank you just had another great meal from Barnet Fish bar.”

“Deraliye offers a refined take on traditional Turkish cuisine in a warm, elegant setting. The food is beautifully prepared, rich in flavor, and clearly rooted in heritage. Attentive service and a relaxed atmosphere make it a truly enjoyable dining experience.”

“Have eaten in this restaurant a few times always been great. Haven’t been for 4 or 5 years. Visited on Sunday for Sunday set lunch. I didn’t realise they did the traditional roast beef chicken or lamb along with fish dishes. £22.95 for 2 courses. Starters we all had prawn cocktail nicest one almost ever eaten very generous portion size packed with prawns. Roast Beef was delicious potatoes light crispy and fluffy very good horseradish in fact I think it’s the best roast dinner for miles around. Service great. Very impressed why haven’t I come more often I ask myself. Will be back.”

“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!”

“Just why this small and friendly restaurant isn’t packed out every night is a mystery!!! Spread the word - it is fantastic!!! We went with friends a week ago to this Mauritian fusion restaurant for the first time and it was like discovering a treasure hidden in plain sight. We were greeted warmly by a very friendly waitress and had our pick of tables as there were only two other tables taken. My wife and I shared a starter of Black Tiger Prawn Fusion which was absolutely fantastic. We then both had a Daube de Poulet for our mains. I cannot begin to describe just how good this was - the chicken was moist, tender and yet still firm and the sauce was amazing. We option to vary the heat level of the spices was good as well. With a couple of glasses of wine the bill came to less than £30/head - an absolute bargain for this quality of food. The menu offers a suitably wide selection that should appeal to all tastes whilst enabling everything to be freshly cooked to order. We looked at other dishes coming out of the kitchen and they all looked very appetising indeed. All I can say is that you should go to this restaurant - it will be something worth while I promise you. And then tell all your friends about it and make sure they go too - they will thank you!!!”

“First time coming to Marlo’s and it was amazing. Very small , beautiful place. The staff were amazing and very smiley , service was so great , very attentive. The food was really lovely, very clean tasting , I had the vegetarian breakfast I recommend it 100% . The coffee was so nice as well. You should definitely go if you are looking for a nice breakfast date .”

“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”

“best Indian cuisine in the Barnet area by some distance, absolutely superb”

“Had to share my feedback on this place. I usually visit on a Friday after my therapy session at Barnet hospital which is around the corner. Every single time I visit this place everyone is ridiculously polite and kind to me. I hope you know how much of a positive impact you make on my mood and day when I come in feeling so vulnerable after therapy. You guys are the best!”

“Fantastic food, lovely friendly staff, clean and a very varied menu. Would highly 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 ”

“Absolute gem of a restaurant, attractive decor, staff are friendly, food is great, relaxed atmosphere. The quinoa salad with miso salmon is truly scrumptious. Great healthy options on the menu. In door and outdoor dining available.”

“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”

“I’ve lived around the corner from The Boulevard for 20 years, and that’s exactly how long I’ve been coming here. What first appears like a private club behind frosted glass, actually becomes a mid size restaurant, private dining room and bar recently refurbished. Step inside for a proper Indian menu, not some westernised pretend curry house, many of the dishes you may not have seen before. It’s a great menu, the chefs and staff have been here years and they certainly know what they’re doing. And it’s great for Sky Sports too, what’s not to like?!”

“29/07/2025 The 35 ounce ribeye on the bone was tremendous and my dad loved the escargot so much that he ordered another portion after and our waiter a charming young man Sam provided us with very good service and made us feel more like a friend than a customer keep it up we shall be coming back again much love”

“Beautiful cafe with plenty of space, the staff are so attentive and friendly and the food and drinks are well priced. Everything is always spotless, I have been here many times and never had any issues. Highly recommend for any meal of the day whether dining alone or with others!”
