Charcoal express in Barnet

Closed, this place used to be really good but hasn't been open for a couple of weeks, you can see through the window all the tables are set and the post piled up on the floor. No note on the window to explain, shame.

I ate there 3 days ago, and I got such a stomach ache that I can't take it anymore, I don't know what you put in it but it's terrible, I couldn't help but say this, it's not the first time this has happened to me from your food and I'm not the only one...! I do not recommend

A good start, food nicely presented, good portions, well cooked and really tasty. Main courses too. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the new manager likewise made us feel well looked after, and provided a really pleasant surprise dessert, in the shape of tiramisu, a birthday candle, a song and a good few smiles. Unexpected, a geniunely nice touch. Will certainly be back for more, the baclava looked great... next time! Nice atmosphere, good service, good food, and we went midweek! Well worth a try!

This place is weird.. the main shop is a soulless cave with overpriced bakery food. There's tables but it's not a nice environment, like being in an airport hanger at a small airfield. However next door is an amazing kiosk that does the best falafel ever.. a huge amount of fresh sides, good value for money etc and you can take the food into the the main area. Tbh I'm not Jewish and my Jewish friends tell me the challa bread (apologies if I've spelt this wrong) is excellent. I know they travel quite a way for it, so it must be good.
