The 30 Best Traditional flavors 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.”

“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!”

“Consistently good sushi from Waitrose Barnet. Very fresh and a great selection.”

“We order from Panda village a few times a month and never have any problems! Food is always hot, fresh and delicious. Customer service is always excellent and cannot fault anything, would definitely recommend”

“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.”

“After trying jollof, I was in love with Nigerian food. I have tried Nigerian food at lot of places but Ijinle stands out and considering its close to where I live, it’s so convenient. My favourites are soup, jollof with beef and dodo.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Arati is an unassuming restaurant on a side road amongst other restaurants which has a traditional charm about it. Decor is traditional, which provides a great atmosphere compared to more modern clinical decors. The staff are friendly and very attentive. The menu has a wide choice to suit everyone and even a section titled "English"! Food is fresh and cooked to perfection. On street parking only, which is possible on the single yellow lines from 7pm.”

“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”

“One of the best meals I’ve had in all of London what a treat. Phenomenal service, lovely setting and incredible dishes. Will be back often and can’t stop telling friends to visit!!”

“We really enjoyed the food, everything was fresh and tasty. Great ambience. Our waitress was lovely, very polite, friendly and extremely attentive.”

“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”

“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 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”

“Great little shop with very helpful staff. Ordered lots of fresh home made food for Christmas, which was delicious!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Based on my first visit (weekday lunchtime) I found the pub extremely welcoming, clean and comfortable. I had time to kill before my hospital appointment so stayed for a coffee and wine, no food. Manager Amy was personable, warm and extremely hospitable and I watched her greet a handful of customers by first name. The pub is spacious though I'm told they get very busy in the evenings and special occasions.Toilets were clean, spacious and nicely decorated, the washbasin was lower than usual which I assume is also great for kids and wheelchair users. I would say this pub could cater to most accessibility needs. There is a large garden with wooden seating and decked areas but sadly the weather wasn't playing ball today, so I'll return later in the summer.”

“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.”

“Had a delicious meal with a very warm hospitality!”

“Only had a tenner cash - asked for their suggestion for food which understandably is a big ask. I got a delicious sweet and sour main as well as a fried rice for just under ten pounds. The food was amazing, service was amazing for accepting my request, and last of all I spent no more than 5 minutes waiting for my food. Good £10 well spent.”

“Very nice food very highly recommended thank you mumbai 5 star”

“This small mom and pop take-out shop serves good Chinese food that will not alarm or confuse local appetites. Been back a few times and it has not disappointed yet. However they only accept cash - no cards. Looks like they do a decent amount of delivery too. Friendly staff.”

“Super fresh and clean Indian food, full of flavour and without the surfeit of oil which so despoils takeaways. We are converts.”

“Ordered very late at night but food still came within 25 minutes of ordering and very hot !! The website was super easy to navigate, and one of the few places that still let you pay in cash for delivery. I had the cheesy garlic bread slices and a plain cheese pizza, both very delicious, generous amount of cheese and a good size for the price. Will defo order again, thank you !!”
