The 30 Best Romantic dinner in Barnet

“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”

“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!”

“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 !!”

“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 :)”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“I absolutely loved the atmosphere and service in this restaurant. It is very cosy in the front, but it extends to the back and even has a beautiful garden that will be lovely in the Summer. It is great for a date night or if gathering with friends. Food was very tasty and the dessert was very delicious. I had salmon fillet and tiramisu. House wine was very good too. Highly recommend it and definitely will be back.”

“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!!!”

“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”

“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”

“A classic pub with a great, warm atmosphere and good beers. They don't serve food.”

“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 ”

“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.”

“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!”

“Jamie, Megan & co are very friendly and want more people to visit. Its had a revamp, lots on a weekend and during the week. Well worth a visit and the drinks are reasonably priced too. See you again soon.”

“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.”

“I have been to Middeys on several occasions and they offer a wide-range of excellent halal dishes. The drinks are also superb - I love the lychee bubbles - and the service is fantastic place. It is very popular but have gone several times without needing to book.”

“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”
