Relaxed dining in Barnet

“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.”

“Omar served us and was amazing. The Shisha had a lot of flavour, amazing customer service and had a great vibe inside. Drinks were fairly priced, highly reccomend coming here with your mates after a night out! Had a great experience, will be coming back”

“Aming christmas experience , staff were absolutely nice and its been a longtime ive experienced such a great service with genuinely friendly people. Food was delicious also, loved the richness of my starter, main and desert. It was so lovely to meet the owner too she was absolutely amazing and welcoming despite her hard work and business. Overall This Restaurant has set the bar in terms of food, service and professionalism.”

“Barnet Cafe is a true hidden gem! This lovely, family-run cafe has won my heart over with its warm, welcoming atmosphere and delicious offerings. I first discovered this charming spot in 2020, and it has since become my regular haunt, a testament to its consistent excellence. One of the standout features of Barnet Cafe is the generosity they bring to every plate. The portions are not only generous but also incredibly affordable, making it an ideal choice for both budget-conscious diners and those seeking hearty, satisfying meals. My personal favourite is their mouthwatering steak, a dish that I find myself coming back for time and time again. The quality and flavour are consistently top-notch, and they're cooked to perfection every single time. The fact that they have a kids' menu that's equally impressive is a huge bonus for families. It's wonderful to see a place that caters to all ages. Beyond the fantastic food, the staff at Barnet Cafe truly make you feel like part of the family. Their warm hospitality and attentive service make every visit a memorable one. The cosy ambience adds to the overall experience, making it a perfect setting for any occasion. Barnet Cafe is more than just a cafe; it's a home away from home. If you're in search of a place where you can enjoy a delectable meal, bond with your loved ones, and not break the bank, look no further. It's no wonder it has become my regular spot, and I have a feeling it will continue to be for years to come. PS... I can't believe I never reviewed this amazing cafe all these years, and the photos I'm using are from my first few visits since I just focus more on enjoying my meals these days. Yeah, I'm adventurous with foods, but the steak is just muaaaah!!!”

“Tasty food.. really fresh The place is very clean and friendly The stuff from kitchen to delivery man 10 of 10.. they kind And professional. .. me and my girlfriend we love the chicken rice form here.!”

“Was recommended to try this place out by friends and my god was it a good recommendation, traveled 35 minutes and I would’ve done double it was that good! I had the triple burger with extra bacon (cripsy drizzled in maple syrup - WOOW), crazy fries and the bbq chicken wings. The burger patties so soft, the chips perfectly cooked, the chicken marinated so perfect and so succulent!! Everything from the food to the service was absolutely spot on and I can’t wait to come back again, just wish I lived closer so I could order takeaway.”

“A group of us go to the cafe after our Nordic walk in nearby Trent Park. Its run by volunteers, so friendly and nice. The food and drinks are lovely, especially the home made cake.”

“I had an amazing experience at Odos in Barnet. The food was absolutely unbelievable and the service was fantastic from start to finish. I especially enjoyed the brill fish — it was perfectly cooked and full of flavour. I can’t wait to go back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal.”

“The open door serves good quality food at a very low price price. You are served by a group of volunteers and there is a great atmosphere.”

“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.”

“Angel Cafe is one of my favourite places to go. The staff are always so kind and welcoming, and the service is genuinely amazing every time. It’s such a lovely atmosphere really cosy and relaxing. The food is always fresh and delicious, and there’s such a great variety to choose from. You can tell a lot of care goes into everything, and it’s just a really nice place to spend time, whether you’re catching up with friends or just grabbing something on your own. Highly recommend!”

“Souv Like It is an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality.

Whether you're craving a classic gyro or feeling adventurous enough to try something new, Souv Like It caters to all tastes with finesse.

“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 .”

“First time at this little gem & will definitely become a regular! Service & food was impeccable & couldn’t be faulted even if I tried!. At the end of our meal the chef even came out and greeted each table to ask how everything was which I thought gave such a personal touch & was very appreciated. The atmosphere & vibe was very cozy. We arrived at 6pm and didn’t leave until 9pm (even though we finished eating at about 8pm) simply because we felt so relaxed and comfortable. Thank you The Old Paparazzi - we will be back soon”

“Great restaurant, beautiful food, romantic atmosphere. Winston, our waiter was great! I definitely recommend M&C :)”

“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.”

“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.”

“The best there is! From the staff to the food, true Cyprus in a Uk Resteraunt. Anyone who says otherwise is simply wrong! Free fresh fruit without even asking!”

“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.”

“The perfect experience of British food. If you don’t know any British food other than fish&chips then try this place. Very delicious food.”

“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.”

“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!”

“On Saturday, five of us had a lovely meal here and a great time together. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I will definitely come to Mayhek again. Thank you to everyone involved.”

“I absolutely love this cafe. The cappuccino I had was one of the best I’ve ever tasted creamy, hot, and made with care. The space is inviting, with a mix of modern style and homey charm. The breakfast menu includes lots of delicious dishes. The staff are genuinely friendly, not just polite, and make you feel welcome. It’s clear they care about both the coffee and the customers. I’ll be bringing all my friends here from now on.”
