“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.”

“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.”

“I've been using Barnet Exec cars for a few years now, they have been brilliant. They are always on time, good friendly drivers and clean cars. The 'Boss' is always friendly and helpful and I would fully recommend the company.”

“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!”

“Beautiful flowers and great customer service - I made a small mistake with my order (collection details) and immediately rang up and they sorted it out for me without any issues. This was on a Friday evening for a Sunday collection so I was super impressed. And best of all, my mum loved the flowers!”

“Highly recommend Barnet! Had disastrous highlights done at a different salon & a friend recommended Barnet. Steve did an amazing job on correcting the colour & on the condition of my hair - he listened to what I wanted, explained everything & is very experienced. Lovely friendly salon, definitely try it! Good to support our local businesses too.”

“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.”

“They did a lovely job I would definitely recommend them and the prices were reasonable”

“THE BEST HANDS & TOES DOWN! Latoya and Natalia are both professional and passionate about their craft. As soon as you enter the salon you’re greeted with smiles and world class customer service. Thank you ladies for always making my experience 10/10”

“Jakki was so warm and welcoming towards Noah and did a fantastic job for his first puppy groom. I’m so glad I found her and will be booking all his future grooming appointments here. If you want your puppy relaxed and in a friendly environment whilst being groomed I would definitely recommend. Thankyou 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 :)”

“We fancied some seafood and headed down to Seawise Street Seafood Bar. We heard lots of good things and were not disappointed. We ordered the squid rings freshly prepared and cooked, and the butterfly King Prawns we asked for the spicy option. I must say they were the tastiest prawns I've ever had. The squid was delicious too. We also brought some cockles which were plump and not at all gritty, dressed crab and some shell on prawns. The crab came with coriander and red onion, which nicely complimented the crab. Very tasty and would highly recommend. Thank you for our tasty dinner.”

“This seems to be the only place left in London where you can get your child’s feet properly measured and assessed for the right shoes. I sat back and watched Marie bring out the loveliest shoes, after she had measured my daughter’s feet and assessed her tastes. Bang on. And good advice to boot. Marie is a true professional (and brilliant with kids) and I’m so grateful to her.”

“Best Eyebrow Threading and Waxing Experience! I've been a loyal customer of Shilpa beauty parlour for years, and they never disappoint! The team is incredibly skilled and welcoming, making every visit a pleasure. The shop is always clean and comfortable, with a warm and friendly atmosphere.”

“This was a very last minute decision, I was looking for somewhere to have a spray tan so I googled spray tans and this company popped up, within 2 hours Jade was at my home. After having a conversation over the phone with Jade I instantly felt relaxed and at ease and booked her straight away. Jade offers a home service and a organic self tanning spray. Jade arrived at my home and made me feel so comfortable with getting into my underwear and I was so incredibly happy with the results. The tan was so natural, it didn’t smell, and it just looked like I’ve been on holiday for two weeks. I had a big social media event in London so I had to look my best and Jade organic tan made me feel and look incredible. I totally recommend this amazing small business not only is Jade a lovely person she made me feel really comfortable and at ease in my own home to get down to my underwear and stand there and get sprayed which sometimes is quite daunting. Just love the colour buildup of my tan and I can’t recommend Jade high enough. If you are looking for a local Spray Tan mobile beautician then Jade is the person you need to contact. Thank you so much for making me feel really really good love Fanoulla”

“Like most of us, I was in urgent need of a cut after lockdown and was having trouble finding a local salon for an appointment. I had never been to this salon before but Andrea booked me in right away. I found this place professional - they gave me a great cut - and friendly. Also - the music wasn't overly loud which is something that I find annoying in some salons. G and A is run by a very pleasant husband and wife couple. So pleased to have found them. Will go regularly from now on.”

“I got my nails done here and they came out amazing. The treatment was lovely and she double checked each part! The price is also reasonable.”

“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.”

“Absolutely amazing! Angelina and Rovena went above and beyond to make sure I left with the perfect new hairstyle. Angelina worked her magic with incredible precision and skill, giving me a fresh look that I absolutely love. Rovena was also fantastic, offering the best head massage and making sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. The teamwork between them was seamless, and their dedication was truly incredible! Thank you both for your exceptional service! I can't wait to come back!”

“My little bro was so worried about his haircut but the barber was brilliant the whole way through. Thanks for being so patient with him.”

“V Jewellers have been amazing today. I wanted to buy a gold cross for myself and Maria Pedonomou has been so helpful and patient with me. I told her my budget and she showed me some lovely chains and crosses. Would recommend to anyone looking for lovely items of jewellery. There's definitely something for everyone here.”

“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!”

“Absolute pleasure visiting Toni & Guy Barnet for the first time today! Laura washed my hair beautifully! Then Amy the style director listened intently and cut my hair to perfection!!! Never been so happy with a hairdressing experience as I was today! Lovely cup of tea and felt pampered and listened to! Amy was excellent and such a professional!! My new favourite hair salon and hairdresser!!”

“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”

“I went to this salon to get a wash and blow dry from Amy, this was the first time she did my hair. She was so lovely, smiley and chatty. I loved the way my hair turned out. I am definitely going to get her to cut and blow dry my hair next time. I highly recommend Visible changes.”

“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.”

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