Balady in Barnet

Are chips was burnt it tasted like charcoal and the tap next to the bathroom was so close to the sink so when you wash your hands they just get dirtier as a half Israeli icon approve the food was overpriced for falafel

Probably the best falafel in london. Plus you could combine it will a fine ale at the Olde Mitre Inne next door before or after. = perfect night out.

The best fricasse ! Perfect ! Friendly staff and very reasonable

Almost £6 for a portion of chips. Having a laugh!!!

Might be great, but I sadly wouldn't know as they close before their listed hours!

Absolute rip off! Stingy with the toppings and then don’t give you what you actual order and to top it off £10 for large chips. Such a shame because the falafel is nice but this place is clearly only interested in taking as much money off you as they possibly can.

I have ordered two falafels and sat down waiting for my order, someone else comes in orders two falafels and he got served first … honestly blatant racism in a restaurant ??? After this racist incident Not coming again .

Food is good if you can get it but service is hopeless. Have tried to go there several times but closed when it's supposed to be open. Tried again today and although there was a staff member there, was told thay the guy who serves was "out at the shop". Won't bother again.

Went here some time ago and thought it was really good (have since read that it has changed hands). Today, however, no one is manning the order area. Stand there for 10 minutes until someone comes to the front. Then I get told there is nothing left because it is a Friday and they close soon. This was 1pm. Their opening hours are until 3pm and all I was told was left was salad. Extremely poor. If you not going to have any food left two hours before you close. Just close. What a waste of time.

Just ordered through Deliveroo. We ordered two falafels lafa. When it turned up there was only one (the receipt clearly said two). We called them up and they said they ran out of lafa and only had pitta so only sent one ??? How does that make sense?? Wouldn’t it have made sense to send in a pitta and send an apology note instead of sending only one. What a bunch of muppets!!!

I've just had the great pleasure of enjoying an amazing falafel wrap, made all the better being made and served by Leon, who is passionate about what he does, and is very entertaining in his conversation. If I lived closer, I'd be there more often, but saying that, perhaps I just need to make the trip more often, it's that good. Can't wait for the next chance to go to Balady...

Saw some bad recent reviews but the food & service were very good. The guy was downstairs when I arrived as it was very quiet but I just needed to give him a shout

So went there last night as the guy was closing didn’t check before. But with open arms he still served us he turned everything back on and made us the most wonderful mixed grill of menu with salad and rice on the side forgot to take a picture but it was absolutely delicious and put some really good Isreali music. amazing salad dressing and was a very friendly and funny guy would recommend.

Amazing food and people, get the falafel

Just now had falafel with salad, would recommend this place

Awful.. £29 for two pots of humous that would have tasted better from Sainsburys. Stingy with the pitta and rude service. Would definitely NOT recommend. Save your money.

Brilliant food and friendly people. A tad bit on the expensive side but worth it!

Awful experience. Person working there was downstairs most of the time and did not seem to want to be there or serve! Food is not great and stingy portions for the price which is more than restaurants in NW London. No atmosphere and would not recommend. Shame as could have been a great place to serve those in area wanting kosher food.

No atmosphere Service beyond appalling Tasteless meat (not sure about the turkey, chicken, lamb ratio!) Stingy portions Soggy chips Very pricey Should have kept it veggie although that won't change the atmosphere or service!

Got no idea how to make falafel. Stingy on all the topping and pita cut all the way through. Horrendous service when I called to complain.

I had a wonderful meal last Wednesday the food was delicious with great service would highly recommend.

Went here today, the shawarma was spectacular and the customer service was great. The kid handling the salad bar gave great recommendations for what to get. Overall was pleasant experience.

Shocking service, shocking food. Do not take note of the previous reviews, this place has changed hands. They have some arrogant kid working there, who has no idea. The food is bland, the service is even worse and the pricing is ridiculous. Far better kosher places.

Great traditional flavours, friendly environment, and staff.

Delicious falafel and pita!! Highly recommend

Zero stars. As it is local restaurant at my area, I have decided to give a try. Really shocking. Even to share my experience makes me do not feel comfortable. There are only few really good restaurants on High street so far. And it is not one of them. Good places always are full of customers. Really I should not pay for my falafel at all as I have been shocked by this restaurant hygiene and safety standards work plac and poor( I'm just trying to be polite) customer service. So it's not freshly made food at all as well.

Excellent falafel and hommes and amazing food

Lovely place. Great food - cauliflower shawarma with falafel salad. Very quick and friendly service.

Brilliant Israeli fresh food and fantastic service from the one and only Karim

No idea what the food is like because the service I experienced was non existent. Never been successfully served here - the staff just ignored me. Won't bother wasting my time again.

Very nice food at a convenient location

Good food, good service. We will go again

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!

Ordered first time from here and the lfood was way too salty. The chips, falafel and Amba sauce. The flavours were OK but it was so salty I couldn't eat it. Please reduce the amount of salt you add to your food. Oh I also ordered the morrocan cigars, it was very salty also and really oily and gross. I don't think I'll order from here again.

Chips was burnt , I asked the in brackets cook about them he tried to lie and say they was fine , the manager agreed they was way overlooked , as a chef/ cook you should have more pride in letting plates out the kitchen to the customer in the condition what I received . The falafel wrap was poor also , I asked for all the vegetables available , the cook decided he wouldn't only a little lettuce and gherkin , I asked and was told it was in fact all put in as I asked , I had to open up and show the cook, he was lying , so he added was I asked for then. The wrap was it was average at best and very oily, I just don't understand why the cook would like about burnt chips and then not put the ingredients I asked for in the wrap , clearly he's a pathological liar or something wrong with him ? I am baffled . Lastly fridge where the drinks were kept was not working correctly so cans was slightly colder than room temperature, I wish google allowed me to give zero stars because this place would receive 0 ! . I am very disappointed in the whole experience and its a shame as I love to promote vegan/ vegetarian restaurants. Disappointed .

Really amazing food - a hidden gem in the High Street and deliciously veggie! Haven't tasted falafel so good outside of Israel. We'll be back soon 😄

Lovely place. Food was insanely tasty.

Fantastic falafel. Traditional and cooked to perfection. Flavours are amazing. Great pita.

Excellent falafal even better chips.

Used to go to the one in Temple Fortune and glad they have opened up a new restaurant up here now that we’ve moved further north. Love the falafel and hummus bowl

I tried a falafel in pita, it was delicious and a decent portion.

Food is no good .Falafel is over cooking.

Amazing, authentic and delicious. Will be eating here often!

Definitely best hummus and falafel in the area. Been there 3 times now and always great. Very nice people serving the food too.

Second visit this week. Fresh falafel and homemade houmous, what's not to love. Looking forward to picking up challah on a Friday morning. Fab additional to our local high street.

Absolutely delicious falafel, awesome chips! and super friendly service. Balady Welcome to High Barnet

Beautifully delcous food, sort of on the pricey side but lovely otherwise, very smooth hummus. A recommend. Understood my medical dietary needs.

Balady Barnet is amazing! We had the falafel in pitta, cauliflower shawarma and chips and it was all delicious. Great selection of drinks too. Staff are also wonderful and very helpful, in particular Leon. Will definitely make it a regular place to go to :)

Delicious food, freshly made falafel and hummus with salad in a pita. Nicest takeaway to beat the news. Can't wait to try the Shakshuka for breakfast one day. Lucky Barnet to have Balady. Enjoy x

Good food and speedy delivery. Would be good to have an option for chips not covered in salt.

A 2 hours wait for food, terrible.

Very tasty. Loved the Sabich! Lovely staff. Will definitely be back.

Great Fallafel, crisp and delicious with good pita, salad and tahnini. I'm planning to work through the whole menu asap!!

Another winner from the Balady boys ! Having visited the Golders Green branch whenever possible I couldnt wait to try out their new outlet (much closer to us). We got takeaway with all the classics - falafel, hummus, pickle THOSE HOME MADE CHIPS!!! and the wonderful Baklava. I would have taken photos to share with this review, but we couldnt wait to dive in. We'll be back (and maybe I'll get some photos next time !!)
