Hendon Park Cafe in Barnet

Love this place, I have a choldnwith Allergies that looks forward to coming and we travel 200 miles to come here . We check the opening times before we set off, then get there and they close earlier , today again we got there 4 4.20pm when google says open till 5pm, staff said we are closing even after verifying that they should be open I'm really annoyed ans my chiled 8s disappointed and upset 😡

Surely the world's best shakshuka doesn't get served in a cheap aluminium frying pan? Good, unpretentious cafe food: but at rather pretentious prices...!

Great place for adults and kids Park with play area nearly Tennis court Food a bit expensive

Can get very busy. Food is very good

Very friendly service, the sushi is great! a petfect place to visit, have comfort food and relax.

I came on a miserable day so ate inside as weather too cold for outside. The decor is plain and tired. There was a birthday party happening and guests included staff. The staff were not too attentive due to this. The food we had, a shakshuka and pitta sandwich were really good and fresh. I will go again as I think the party was a major role in my giving just 3 stars. I will see the next time and amend if service is better

Really enjoyed my breakfast here.

Incredible quality of food comes out of that place. Family friendly indoor and al fresco. Cheaper to feed all family than any other restaurant. Incredible sushi freshly made on the spot. Even muffins baked fresh in the kitchen. All made to order. Full menu from breakfast to dinner a hidden gem in the outdoors. Well done!

Came here with wife & 3 young kids midweek in afternoon & were made to feel welcome as soon as we set foot in the place... Ordered shakshuka (best we've found in London so far, 11/10), falafel (9/10), halloumi sandwich (10/10), hummus (9.5/10), pizza & chips (8.75/10) which arrived fast & fresh & looked as good as it tasted (we probably ordered 1 dish too many but zero regrets, just a few bites leftover). Staff were patient & delightful & had my kids laughing in seconds despite 2 of the 3 entering mid-tantrum (the complimentary ice cream may have helped, but I reckon the staff should get some of the credit for calming them down & would do just fine if they ever chose to pursue careers in teaching/child care😀). Value for money (9.25/10) overall experience (10/10) Likelihood to return (100% - I actually returned a few days later on my own after a meeting in the area- had the English breakfast (9/10) which was too generous for me to finish, but delicious nevertheless). Thank u team, no doubt we'll see u again (& again) soon... ❤️🙏💪 To anyone who hasn't been yet - what are u waiting for???? Can't recommend this place highly enough- a true north London gem 💎

Self-service mostly, Kosher, vegetarian and fish dishes in gorgeous surroundings in Hendon Park. Very friendly. Would not recommend if you're looking for a quiet meal. Ice cream expensive. Very child friendly and pretty good food for casual meal.

Amazing food and warm service. They were so kind to me and my two small children in baby buggies (who absolutely loved the pizza and fish fingers)! Will definitely come here regularly after we go to the playground!!!!

Wowwwww!!!! Easily the best in every way Amazing staff Brilliant food Excellent location What more can you ask for? Would recommend to everyone across the world If you come to England, this place is the #1 cafe to visit and eat at

Amazing food & amazing service. I had the Shakshuka and it was incredible. My Wife had the Sushi and she loved it! The staff are so friendly & attentive. The cafe has a warm and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend checking it out!

Incredible service and a very friendly and welcome environment! Good was immaculate and left me feeling happy and full.

Great food ! Best coffee ever!!!! Highly recommended And best service

Very nice place to visit and relax. All staff are very friendly and helpful and especially thanks to Liya for serving the best sushi of all time. Can't wait to come back.

We had an amazing time at the cafe. The food is very tasty and staff was also very kind and friendly. I highly recommend this place.

Lovely local family place, good good, great service and nice range for all the family

We visited the Hendon Park Café on a Sunday lunchtime on the basis of other reviews pointing out that it delivers good food at a reasonable price. I have to say that the other reviews are entirely accurate and we rather enjoyed our meal in the sunshine. I went for the Full English Breakfast, as it's served all day, and this arrived as quite the platter: scrambled eggs, beans, tomatoes, two sausages, mushrooms, chips and toasted bread. I managed to clear my plate but it was a close run thing. My wife went for a baked potato with cheese and beans which was similarly filling. No complaints on that front. The staff were also very helpful and it's clear that all of the meals are cooked on demand - which is probably why all of the inside tables were full despite the sunshine outside. Still we had no trouble finding a spot outdoors and were able to enjoy a relaxing lunch.

I used to go here a lot back when I was a teenager, back then it was always a great experience. I've recently gone with my wife and kids and it was still just as good as I remember. My wife and I had the felafel salad and tuna melt, which was really good, my children had the pizza which they absolutely loved. They also had really tasty ice cream. If you're in Hendon park or just the area and want something to eat or drink (coffee, tea or just soft drinks) this is one of the amazing places to visit. One of the best parts about this place is that it's a 1 or 2 minute walk to the play area, you have tennis courts and a nice pond area.

Location and food aside, Leah and her co chef definitely know how to take care of their customers. I was running late in the morning, And due to my urgent needs they served me first and that too with a certain discount (Because I Was short on time and on cash too sadly 🙃) People that really care and it shows! I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to come in and try them out. P.S. their shakshuka is from out of this world. Other than it being very filling, It is cooked with heart and passion; visit them for yourself and you shall find out! Big luv from Bahrain! 🇧🇭

The best kosher cafe in hendon,family friendly atmosphere,great food and staff..

Probably the Best Shakshuka in the world 🌎. Try it, you will not be disappointed.

Such a delicious, yummy food, with awesome service and people helping until the minimum detail. With some short distance places to visit, walk around, and have a different London experience. Recommended a 200% 👍🏽💜

A great place, with delicious food and friendly staff! A real community feel. I absolutely love it!

Great sushi excellent staff and service! I had sushi and muffin takeaway, the service was excellent. I appreciate that all the ingredients are fresh. I would certainly going back and happily recommend it!

I have been eating at hendon park cate for many years and it is incredible. The sushi,the sandwiches, and the coffee is amazing . It is all served in a wonderful atmosphere and at a reasonable price. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Iconic . Good . Amazing . Everything about hendon Park cafe is amazing to a different level you have to try it

The staff take great care to provide 5* service.

Had a tasty lunch after a long walk. Once the food was ordered, it came pretty quickly.

10/10 absolutely the best cafe in the world. Seriously. Nothing left to see here sorrrry!

Decent park cafe, lovely service. A bit of early 90s vibe

Food was a 10 Service was a 10 staff are so friendly and no better way to spend a Sunday lunch

Lovely on a sunny day..I only had an idea coffee

Coffee is rich and full of flavor but not bitter. I'm a regular and the staff is always welcoming and friendly.

Amazing salads, great coffee and wonderful staff.

The best cafe in all of london and a must try for all Jews and everyone else. The food is incredible and all the waiters are incredibly nice, especially liat who clearly is amazing at her job and friendly always. The owners sushi is a MUST absolutely outstanding. Cant express my love for hendon park cafe, everything about it AMAZING. Thank you to hendon park cafe and the waiter liat

The BEST cafe in London by a mile. The food is top tier and the service is world class. The waitress Liat is flawless. Best. Cafe. Ever.

Is so nice to be able to sit in the park and enjoy your coffee. Good friendly service. Presentation could do some work and could do with a renovation, but all in all, I would go again.

Very nice staff! And great chef and food!

Food is amazing. Good atmosphere

We ordered hummous plate and heesy french fries, was ok, very friendly woman at the counter, its basically order at the counter and pay, when food is ready they bring to table, great location

מרק מזעזע מהירקות שנשארו לו והוא לא רצה לזרוק🤢 אחרי שהזמנו היינו חייבים לשלום ולא היה אפשר להחזיר או לשנות למשהו אחר הזמנו גם סלט חלומי וכל הירקות היו עייפים בקיצור לא אכלנו שם וגם לא נחזור

Friendly welcoming peeps, nice tea.

Lovely friendly family run cafe to socialise and relax with a coffee

The food is amazing. plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Shakshuka the best in the UK - Val is the man! Highly recommended

Truly the best shakshuka in the world!!!delicious muffin and the staff is very friendly.thank you

As it says on the back door, "probably the best Shakshuka in the world" - they're not wrong! I've also got a soft spot for their ice cream milkshakes (blueberry ripple of course). They have such friendly staff who will do anything to accommodate you. Great for a quick coffee or a kids birthday party (ask about their platters). A local favourite.

A bit pricey in my honest opinion but they have a great location which must cost a lot in rent. Lovely people, quality food.

A great cafe, offering both indoor and outdoor eating . Reasonably priced and offering attractive good range of light meals and drinks. Not open Saturdays or evenings. Located next to park carpark.

Despite hot chocolate being slightly weak and watery, staff seem very attentive to customers' needs.

The worst experience, if i could give a zero star i would! No one approached us to give out menu or asked what we want. We waited over 20 mins so someone could come but no luck. We kept calling the waitress, she was looking at us but not responding back. Our morning was ruined, I had to raise the fact that their customer service was rubbish, the waitress said ‘they don't do customer service’. Absolutely disgusting!

A sült krumpli első osztályú....❤

Had a deal for free meals for senior citizens as long as they "*brought their parents" -rude!

Great outdoor kosher cafe set in Hendon Park

Rather backward thinking in terms of payments. Who doesn't accept card payments in this day and age. Especially, as it's the preferred method of safe contactless payment in the pandemic.

Really good shakshuka. In the pan.

Man in charge offers discounts to those who give 5 star reviews, concerning…

Came for lunch while I was working nearby. Nice little cafe..attached to the park...nothing glamorous but clean and tidy. I had Egg, Chips and Beans. The food was very nice. Portions were average.fair enough. At over £11.50 it is too expensive. Central London working man's cafe quality...but prices are much higher.

Customer service eh Food was tasty, drinks were ok

A kosher café with a good choice of simple food and drink. Very friendly and helpful staff. Service minded.

Awful value for money. Fish and chips was more just batter and chips. Obviously a great location so he can charge what he wants . I hope this changes because the guy is a cheap skate. The only people that come there will be locals. Rip off prices and you know it.

Great food and service. In nice weather its busy and can take a while but it's worth it.

Love this place!! Excellent food!!

Nice setting. Friendly staff keen to please. Good quality food at a reasonable price. Will certainly return.

Good food, quick to make, however only takes cash

Great little cafe within the park. Indoor and outdoor seating 👍🏽

Came here for a nice brunch on a Sunday and had a great experience. Staff were very friendly and the menu had really good options. Shakshuka was really nice with good flavour, the extra feta was very nice too. The prices for kosher are to be expected but definitely slightly higher. Remember cash only! Definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice bite by the park If you liked my review feel free to give it a 👍 and follow me on Google Maps for more reviews!

Came for a drink and sushi with a friend just now and it was great. I love sushi and that was the best I have had in a long time. Can't wait to go again.

Good food. Nice staff and good service. Warning is cash only.

Overpriced overcooked food, not to mention rude staff. Tacky little shack NEVER AGAIN Their response to this backs up my review

Last week I had a Lovely pasta meal would recommend

Excellent Park cafe with kosher food

Delicious and fresh (kosher) food. Fast service, even though it was quite busy. Comfortable seating. NB they don't take cards; only cash.

Nice ice cream and slushies slightly overpriced though

Really great cafe by Hendon park and Hendon station. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Decent menu with everything on the menu arriving fast, tasty and with a smile. The location is very nice as it is at the park. The prices are on the high side as it is a park cafe,and it is cash only. Overall I would definetly go back for the great food, service and location.

Very bad cafe, rude staff and horrible food

I want to come back to try all of the amazing menu! To start with though, the Thai banana wrap with ice-cream was amazing. Lovely cafe and a beautiful spot to enjoy a sunny Sunday.

Great choice of menu, delicious food. Friendly helpful staff.

No meat - just making people aware before they get here is all. Better with the edit?

Very good service friendly and welcoming .Nice coffee and a good variety of takeway snacks etc ....

Remembering an old deceased mate.

2.50 £ one black coffee that has no taste at all. Just threw it after first sip.

A cafe that just does the job and they do it nicely. Friendly staff, who remember the regulars’ orders and they are helpful and easy going. Who needs a stressful staff? Coming to the park is a pleasure and it includes a stop at this cafe. Today I was short of a few pence - their attitude was so kind and accommodating, I thought - this is what businesses today are missing: HUMANITY.

It is only possible to pay cash or using the PayPal app...

Decent little cafe, outdoor seating for nice days and COVID19 safety

Very good Not expensive Inside and outside seating

Unassuming park cafe with spacious outdoor seating in an unmemorable setting. Nothing here likely to challenge preconceptions nor for that matter disappoint. Service was reasonable. In the specialised realm of park cafes this easily bests most, but not all. Kosher certification.

Going back for my Mocha very soon :) :)

Overpriced menu items, lack of chairs and larger tables outside, with loud interruptions from the sports courts but I won't hold that against them.

Good range of non-meat food. Cash only and need more parasols on sunny days!

My friend went to order fish and chips and had to wait 30 mins whilst also requesting for it to be made quicker as it took a long time to make. Upon request he was laughed at by the owners to which the scenario was unnecessary.

The man in charge is very rude and disrespectful. My friend ordered fish and chips casually and he took half an hour to make the food and my friend had to ask about it then the man was very disrespectful towards him which wasn’t necessary at all. He was also laughing and being very inconsiderate.

Great falafel! Good place to come with little kids, fast service!!

Wonderful, played tennis, had a lovely meal, friendly staff

When are they going to accept card payment. Not everyone carries cash. Especially with this pandemic

Very friendly and pleasant service; great ice cream.
