We regularly pop to Christina’s for a tasty fuss free dinner. Always the staff are friendly and in good spirits the food is always tasty and well prepared. The best most consistent place in barking. Good for burgers, steaks and good international flavour. Barking is lucky to have her and the pink cow outside!

So the restaurants are a nice small restaurant, clean, friendly staff . we ordered a mas burger and spaghetti Bolognese. Burger was tasty, but the Bolognese was very bland and disappointing.

Food was lovely but there were not enough staff and the service suffered for it. Everything was a struggle, especially the initial order with a very snappy waitress. We were scared to ask for my missing drink or more napkins. The experience was not a great one.

The food was okay but the lamb was quite dry and the gravy didn’t have much taste. The vegetables were okay but too salty. The owner was polite but the waiter who was assigned to us was a short European lady who was very rude. She first said she wouldn’t take our order and then came back after 10 mins to take it and was quite abrupt when we asked her questions about the menu. She then forgot about our drinks which was understandable given it was quite busy but she seemed annoyed that we had to remind her about this. All in all the waiter ruined the experience and just didn’t seem like she wanted to be there. It was my first time going but I don’t think I’d go out of my way to come again, quite disappointing.

Went with a friend, ordered 2 starters , and one brisket burger and American as our main, starters came fairly quickly, mains took over 40mns, finally a member of staff cones and asks confused, missed or misplaced our order in the back, offers us a drink, by that time other customers have come and had there full meal and left, finally get pyr mains, the bill comes with service charge on with a 5% discount, which was half of the service charge?! Load of nonsense, food was great, but waiting for 2 burgers and chips for over 40mns, we get charged service charge, and then we pay half the service charge, taking the mick

Ordered the platter wanted to try a bit of everything. Most of it tasted dry and no flavour at all. Sirloin steak was nice but the rest was basic and bland. Mac n cheese tasted like ready meal you get from a store

Went out with my friends for a catch up and we chose the perfect spot. The food was amazing. Burgers were so juicy. Sweet potatoes fries and burger sauce, the best combination!!! The steak was soft and perfectly cooked. From the burgers i would definitely recommend either the Smash burger or the Smoked Brisket. Both amazing! The steak we got was the Ribeye steak, can’t forget about the mushroom sauce to top it off. Honestly, we all enjoyed the food so much and the staff were so nice and friendly. We will DEFINITELY return!

Food comes cold. Even the fries are like warm somehow. Everything is extra salty and soo dry. The only think decent was the sirloin steak. Mac and cheese was something you’d get from an Asda meal deal.

I ordered a starter of crunchy potato shavings, which were very nice and crispy, followed by a main course of sirloin steak, which was tender, juicy, and full of flavour. I ordered a peppercorn sauce that complements the steak, and they accept card and cash payments. The food was great, and the service.

Review as of 22/12/2023: I had gone to an impromptu Cristina's with a party of 4 without having booked prior. As we entered the restaurant we were instantly greeted by our host and told we had an hour to eat as they had bookings coming up. Whilst of course being constrained to a time limit is not what you would ideally want with a dining experience, we could not complain as we had simply gone for a walk in meal. The host had seated us and given us menus, from which I had chose the bao buns, the brisket burger (which I had recommended to me prior our visit) and a simple lager. Firstly, the bao buns were nice, I'd give them a 3.5/5. The brisket in them was a little dry, however had good flavour and the chimichurri and buns themselves were nice and saved the dish. The brisket burger was an easy 5/5, the brisket in it was probably not the same that was served in the bao buns and was moist, tasty and melted in my mouth. It was served with a delicious sauce and the buns were soft and fresh. The fries served with the burger were also fresh, crispy but needed a light sprinkle of salt on top of them. The lager I had ordered complimented the meal well and was served in a chilled glass which was a nice touch. Overall, the experience I had in Cristina's was incredible. The food was generally very delicious, the waiters were incredibly helpful, refilling the water jugs without being asked and always spoke to us with a smile and a positive attitude. I could not recommend eating at Cristina's enough, however would recommend booking as it is clearly a very popular place to eat (for a reason)! I would recommend the brisket burger, as well as the buffalo wings which I had tried and were incredible. Small notes: The restaurant is quite small so again (and popular) so I again would recommend calling in and booking a table. The bathrooms were clean and clearly cared for. The menu (as far as I understand) is entirely halal, so everyone is welcome to eat here. Cristina's gets a very well deserved 5/5 and I will definitely be coming back!

My husband and I ordered off the lunch special menu and I chose the bajan chicken dish and him the beef dish. Very disappointed when it arrived without tater tots as advertised on the menu, but curly fries. As for the meat, it was very bland and not enough spice as I would expect from a bajan style dish. Seemed like the meat wasn't even fresh and didn't come piping hot to the table. Bit of a cop out to serve with curly fries too which didn't seem homemade. The mocktail was OK. Wouldn't come back as the standards have dropped since coming a few years ago.

Came here with my family, and i must say that the restaurant has gone down hill. The entire table felt the same way sadly. The Sunday roast was literally put together in front of us from buffet style containers. This meant that the potatoes were stale and dry, and the yorkshire pudding was somehow chewy and did not taste well at all. The beef was nice nonetheless. But the 1 piece of carrot and an entire bed of swedish cabbage did not compensate for such a bad meal.

PLEASE AVOID! I visited this place with family on Saturday evening to begin with the staff are so unbothered no warm welcome the lady seemed like she was getting panicked everytime a customer walked in and was finding it hard to seat them as the restaurant is very small. We ordered BBQ WINGS which was dry and it seemed old we also got bao bun which was drenched in vinegar smelt horrible and tasted horrible the steak was also not juicy it just didn’t taste fresh we ordered four steaks one meal came 30 minutes later so we all couldn’t enjoy together and on top £15 SEVICE CHARGE ? For what they can’t even be bothered to smile at the customers if you want nice steak please don’t believe the tiktok reviews we spent £145 and it was the worst meal we have ever had

Good variety of food, tasty food, friendly staff. Poor drinks selection though. Edit in response... your drinks menu is extensive... I'm addressing the Beers. Small cans and foreign wheat beers aren't food beers. There all heavy and very expensive... Get something lighter and more obvious in my opinion.

Having heard of the menu revamp, I went down to try Cristina’s again. Contrary to my earlier visits (couple months) they had a lot more smoked brisket on the menu. I tried the brisket burnt ends and the dino ribs (not sharing version) from my friends. Tasted amazing. The dino ribs were a bit questionable with the chocolate bbq sauce, but the meat was good enough for me to enjoy on its own. And the burnt ends were a bit dry, if complimented with a sauce, would elevate the dish My choice of meal was the bone marrow, wish tasted fresh, citrusy from the herbs mixed in, and had that lovely fat/creamy flavour of the marrow Got the usual sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce. I must say I do miss the old plating as I feel with the new plating we got less bang for the buck. The trays didn’t look as full, and while that may just be visual inspection, I don’t remember leaving as full as I usually do. The peppercorn sauce was saltier than I remember it, but the beef gravy was an unexpected treat. Service, as always is 11/10 at this place. The staff were VERY busy, so we understood the wait and delays with things. But still, I did not feel disappointed and rather felt they were being very attentive to us, as always. Very hospitable, and a pleasure to be around.

The new lunch menu isn't great, I loved the old one where you could get a smashed cheeseburger and fries for £7/8. I ordered recently, had the chicken thigh burger, which there were several issues with unfortunately. The menu states that your meals will come with fries, they don't, everything comes with croquette potatoes/tater tots. Whatever you want to call them, they are not fries, and Christina's fries were one of the best things about the place before! Also, half of mine were cold and slightly stale after obviously being kept in the new warmers they have out front. Your new style of service is very strange, where the person is out front and all the food is pre-cooked and kept in pots. The fact I was there for nearly 40 mins and saw the server never change his gloves and touch multiple meats and containers was strange too, especially when he's also preparing vegetarian options alongside the meat. Unfortunately, my chicken was dry in places and although the flavours were good, it wasn't hot. The burger was also drowned in coleslaw, which although I like it, doesn't have to be heaped on the burger so much. Also, sorry but at £11 (£4 higher than the previous lunch deal) I think I would go elsewhere. I don't mind paying that much if I feel I am getting fresh, hot food and good value, but with food that isn't hot and isn't as described, I wouldn't pay that much. It's a shame, as Christina's has been somewhere I have enjoyed going to in the past. Seen the reply below, sorry I should have been more explicit, the food was mostly terrible and mostly cold. Why would I "give it another go" when you couldn't even get the basics right, like ensuring food is hot? The server didn't change his gloves, but agree that he wasn't preparing the vegetarian dishes out front, so I was wrong about that. However, £11 isn't competitive at all, when I can literally go to Ripple road for a sit in Turkish grill for £7... 🤷♂️

I've been going to Cristinas for years and every time I go they never disappoint. they change their menu year round but there's always a good selection and whatever you have it's cooked so well and is so tasty. simple things like coleslaw there is amazing, you can't go wrong with whatever you pick from their menu; whether it's brisket, chicken thighs, burgers or cheese burger spring rolls they do everything so well. It's because of their high standard on classic british dishes they've remained open for so long. Today, I saw the chef walk out in his 0% vegan t-shirt and it just made me smile, it represents the chefs style and Cristina's so well. They know how to treat their meat and how to serve it well!

Atmosphere was nice and staff were friendly. But the food was disappointing. The brisket was so dry and the bun was hard and crusty, just fell apart. The fries were just basic tasting and such a small portion. If you want something soft, juicy and succulent, this is not it. £11 for that, supposed to be a cheaper lunch menu, oh and they want a service charge for that too! Sorry but I cannot recommend.

If you’re in Barking or anywhere nearby, Cristina’s is a must-try! Atmosphere is nice and cosy, and the service is top. I got the mess burger, cheeseburger springrolls and beef bao buns which were all 10/10, the brisket was tender and had a great bbq flavour, the burger was indeed messy but the flavours went together beautifully and the springrolls were great too. However, my brother ordered a steak to be medium well but it came well done which meant it was a little dry, but the flavour of the steak itself along with the drippings and peppercorn sauce was 10/10. Had the lemonade to drink, which was refreshing, sweet and tasty. Would definitely visit again, and most definitely recommend to anyone nearby.

Food was 6.5/10. I bought “The Mess”. All the burgers contents were great individually, but there was abit too much going on when combined. The burgers contents were brisket, smashed patty, Mac n cheese and homemade fries. I bought this upon recommendation of the waitress. I wouldn’t buy again and would opt in for the original smash burger or steak like the past couple times I’ve been. Also I think the chips were abit too thin for my liking. Sticky toffee pudding and brownie was a 9/10. The staff and the casual vibe is 8/10.

Well what can I say? Tiberius strikes again. Man this chef is second to none when it comes to the BBQ. This lunchtime meal deal is amazing with succulent beef brisket, extremely juicy fatty bits full of flavour. The tatertots are a nice alternative to your standard chips smothered in a bone marrow gravy and the surprise was the slaw which was sweet and cut through the richness of the meat giving this meal a perfect all round balance. Did I forget to mention this is halal too? Hats off to you Tiberius and keep up the great work 👍

Food was great AS ALWAYS, however there was a mouse running around on this occasion, which put us off our food and had other customers on edge also. Not sure if this has been resolved since, but I'll gladly visit again. Edit: The owner denied the existence of this incident, I'm sure the blonde waitress can confirm this. The other waitress ran to the back and didn't come out. I am not a liar, and I have much better things to do. I simply stated an incident and my experience of it. I'd happily return assuming the problem was solved. I've increased the stars given anyway. Second Edit: There was no booking for me, it was a walk in. And yes I'm sure, Cristina's Steak next to Asda.

We visited from Luton on Friday evening. We ordered over £200 worth of food. My husbands t bone steak arrived however it wasn’t hot so we had to send it back and it wasn’t cut up. Also we had 4 fillet steaks which was cooked fine, however portion was very small for the price.( The steak was so small and didn’t fill us up. Please see picture attached- you would appreciate a little bigger steak for that price) The non alcoholic mocktail wasn’t great. Homemade lemonade was very nice and refreshing. Overall very over hyped and overpriced.

The service was incredible the front of house staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us nothing was a problem. All 9 steaks were cooked exactly as asked and tasted amazing. We also had a gluten free with us and she was told everything to avoid but also given lots of options of adapting the dishes if she wanted to so she would be able to have them.

Wine and halal don't go in the same sentence

Small restaurant, but my wife told me that they had switched their head chef, and I wish I listened to her before booking our anniversary dinner. We didn't have steaks. We had the 2 chicken burgers. My one had a lot of cornflakes on it, a bit too much, which I didn't particularly like as it became twice the size of the bun and hard to eat. Edit: my wife loved the smashed burger, she said mine was the okay one once she had a bite. Thank you for the complimentary vanilla ice cream, though.

After reading a review decided to try a smashed patty. 1) Tasty n' tender, fatty patty. Simple flavours. Lovely crispy skin-on fries. My photo does not do it justice. Cosy venue and good vibes. 2) Rib-Eye Steak n' Chips. Lovely tender steak cooked just right. Fat rendered. A little high on salt but balanced with chips without salt. 3) Pan-Fried Sea Bass n' Beans. A fabulous dish. Aldente butter beans and freshness from spring onion or leaks with loads of garlic. Wanna try this at home. Unfortunately Saturday night so busy. Lucky to get a table but younger staff seemed to have forgotten to take my order. When I called it in there was a long wait. Almost 55 mins sitting to service. A warning of a long wait would have been appropriate so I could go elsewhere due to late work schedule. Service Charge was cancelled but food was lovely. Elder staff totally lovely and apologetic. I am very fond of this place...

Have been meaning to come here for a long time to try out their steaks. Currently only doing burgers due to the lockdown. But by god the burgers are gooooood! Had the brisket burger which was loaded with thick and tender slices of brisket. Soft and juicy, easily the best takeaway burger we have had in ages. Quality meat and not some random cuts, the smashed burger was great as well The chips were limp but that can't be helped due to the drive back. Am looking forward to trying out their menu once they reopen.

Have been wanting to try out Christina's for a while now and it didn't disappoint. We reached around 9pm but the place was still bustling. We had the T-bone steak, spaghetti Bolognese and wings! Medium rare steak was amazing and full of flavour!

Recently visited this establishment after quite a period of time. Pleased to say it’s still quality fish and chips. First came here in 1977 as an 11 year old schoolboy and delighted to say still the very same high standards.

If you want the added ingredient of hair in your food, then this is the place for you. I've been here twice and always found hairs in my food and it always seems to be in the baked beans. No idea what they're getting up to there.

Ótimo lugar para descansar longe da agitação da cidade. É uma área residencial, mas possui diversos restaurantes e lojinhas e fica próximo ao metrô para te levar aos outros pontos da cidade.
