Avenue House Cafeteria in Barnet

Si usted, como yo, les gusta la comida caliente picante szechuan, podrá disfrutar de una comida en amigos locales. El banco rojo reats American Diner evocan un y el ambiente es casi tipo cantina, con familias locales para disfrutar de la comida. El personal es amable y eficiente, guía a través de el menú grande con respecto a los niveles de las Especias y el tamaño de las porciones (que satisfacen a un grupo de 4 mejor que un grupo de 2). Teníamos dos entrantes, tres platos principales, fideos y un plato de verdura, que era un montón de comida para 4 - es una pena que sólo había 2 de nosotros!

Siempre he usado para pedir el pollo al curry tailandés verde y estaba decepcionado ya que la receta recientemente parece que han cambiado desde hace unos años, cuando se utilizaban para que sea. Yo solía pensar que sirve la mejor comida oriental pero ahora no estoy tan seguro. Las raciones son bastante pequeñas por el precio de ellos. Tengo que decir que Annie y su marido son siempre delicioso, aunque siempre dispuesto a nada si ella puede.

Permanently closed but you can sometimes see people inside - not too sure what’s going on inside there - been a staff shortage since Covid and never reopened - shame really

Went with a friend and ex-colleague. Was bitterly disappointed from the minute we walked in being frowned at for not booking in advance (we went at 630 to avoid any busy times for that exact reason) We were reluctantly given a table as long as we left after an hour. Very welcoming, not! My colleague and I are both vegetarian. We asked about the vege and vegan food options and were told to check that section on the menu. It was all very confusing so we asked again. The waiter either didn't understand us or did not want to, he just kept saying it was OK. Eventually we realised the chicken on the vege menu was mock chicken but then we discovered that it's pretty much all cooked together. Our non vegetarian friend had a chicken soup and I asked about the vegan version which I was told was the same soup without the chicken. They could neither confirm nor deny that the soup simply didn't have chicken in it or if it was separate altogether. We then asked about some other vege dishes and I alerted them to the fact that I'm allergic to shell fish so there must not be any cross contamination. They then said they couldn't guarantee that. So they couldn't guarantee the vege meals were vege or not prepared with or alongside meat, fish or shellfish, and they couldn't promise the allergy needs would be met. We decided to not order anything. Our non-vege friend and her friend did. The waiting staff were impossible to engage and it really wasnt busy. When they did come, they were fairly abrupt. She said her food was nice but the portion sizes were tiny and it cost her £45 for a shared starter, one main and a glass of wine, plus service which she said didn't improve. To make things worse the owner seemed to treat others coming in very differently. We left her and her friend to it but they were really disappointed, as were we. FYI We went down the road to Baw instead, and had a beautiful and filling meal for half the price, served with a smile and full recipe disclosure!

It was about 60 mins wait but within the time given
