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.

Food was delicious. The restaurant was clean and quiet. All staff was friendly and welcoming. Would recommend

Excellent meal, though restaurant is very noisy

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.

We went for brunch to Florentin and had a good meal. The food was excellent - very much a contemporary Tel Aviv vibe. Service was a bit hit and miss and our waitress was pretty surely. That and the ridiculously loud blender coming on sporadically were the reasons we did give it a five star rating. We’ll probably be back, it hoping they do sort out the issues.
