Izgara in Barnet

Fantastic food. Very fresh. The meat dishes are spicy and divine. They are the best in whetstone

I've never experienced a place where the food was so completely tasteless. It was truly awful. What made it worse was the management's total lack of concern, even when they saw both of us had barely touched our meals and told them the food had no flavour. They simply didn’t seem to care. Hugely disappointing.

Love the good, service good but do find the restaurant quite loud, especially since the extension

Fabulous. Apart from the woman playing her phone loudly. Earbuds are cheap!! So rude

Excellent food. Service was good with one major exception. On both our last two visits the staff tried to serve our main courses before we had finished our starters. Tonight one even hovered over my husband waiting for him to take his final mouthful. The better procedure is surely to serve the starters as soon as possible and then not cook the main dishes until the diners have finished, or nearly finished, eating. It's not as if our table was needed and there was a decent gap between our mains and deserts.

Lovely meal, extremely friendly and professional staff.

Lovely evening catching up with friends. Food wonderful and fresh especially the seabass. Staff helpful and polite.

A more upmarket experience than the regulars in green lanes.

Extremely good food, well served by Carlos. Comfortable with a good atmosphere

Impeccable food and attentive service. Will come again

Food and drinks were great , lovely service from Ozzie, appreciate the service 👍🏽

Amazing restaurant and service excellent and food is quality. Especially service by Ozzie , lovely time always eating here.

This is outstanding!!!!! The portions are so generous, the food is amazing and the service even better!!! Carlos, the brasilian waiter, was very professional, polite and he made sure we had the best experience ever!!! We couldn’t leave happier!!! This restaurant is a gold gem!! Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!⭐️🏆

Awful fatty food, no taste, raw meat, very very expensive. Never go there again.

Very good medium priced neighbourhood restaurant with good service and flavoursome food. Always consistent and reliable

Such a lovely local restaurant. Great food and service. Nothing is too much trouble, even with fussy eaters. Clean throughout and good value for the size of the meals. Would definitely recommend here.

Lovely food, nice host, well decorated and ambience. Value for money

During our dining experience, we were fortunate to have Özgür as our manager. He was extremely friendly and attentive, making sure that our meal was enjoyable from start to finish.

Very busy restaurant. We were a table of 6. Our meal was excellent. I would go there again

Have visited this restaurant on many occasions with family and friends . Food has always been very good with plenty of choice. New lunch menu is very good value.

As always, great food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful.

Portions are generous. Everything I have tried is delicious 😋

Beautiful food & very helpful staff. Never fails to impress me. Thanks

Loved the decor, atmosphere and the staff were attentive. Food was plentiful and tasty. Great value for money. We will definitely return.

Excellent food and service, reasonably priced with large portions. Cop Shish was very tender and succulent and the Ali Nazik was 'casserole like' and full of flavour. Babaganoush and Zucchini Fritters, plus bread and dips were all very tasty. Highly recommend.

Lovely evening celebrating a big Birthday. Was lovely to see a restaurant doing so well. Food and service was brilliant and nothing too much trouble for the Staff, thank you.

great lunchtime deal - delicious food as always. Shame that you cant swap in a side and they were quite rigid, but still very nice in there and would return

Slow and chaotic service - kept forgetting our orders

Great food nice service but all side rice etc have to be paid separately even though you’re paying 20 pound for kebab.

Great food , the mixed kebab was excellent. Service and ambiance on the money. Best restaurant in Whetstone. 5star !!

Had a fantastic lunch here….great foods great service and great price. What more could you ask!

Food was what’s expected of a decent Turkish restaurant but nothing special, a bit over priced, good service. Not really value for money. Not sure if we’d return. We had a Father’s Day meal there and it didn’t really feel special.

Lovely evening, excellent service, efficient but not rushed. Delicious food with generous portion size. Definitely would return.

First visit here with friends, lovely friendly staff. Gorgeous decor. Delicious food.

The menu at IZGARA WHETSTONE is a culinary journey through the Mediterranean, featuring a variety of dishes that cater to both traditional tastes and contemporary palates. For starters, I opted for the Mezze Platter, a generous assortment of hummus, baba ganoush, tzatziki, and dolmas, served with warm, fluffy pita bread. Each dip was rich in flavor, Service at izgara was exceptional. Our server OZGUR, was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations. The pacing of the meal was just right, allowing us to savor each course without feeling rushed. Overall, whetstone izgara provides a dining experience that is both relaxed and refined. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite or a leisurely meal with friends, this bistro offers something for everyone. I will definitely be returning to explore more of their delicious offerings.

Been a very long time returning and loyal customer, the place is the best i can say around and about. One of the nicest restaurants and kind staff, absolutely delicious food. Its a genuine 10/10. I really loved their new lunch menu aswell.

The location is accessible, the menu is extensive and delicious, the staff is very warm and friendly. Even though the location is far from me, I enjoy going there more and more each time. thank you

Great meal and service. Quality of food was excellent.

We haven’t been to this restaurant before, although we have eaten it in another branch a number of years ago. Beautifully decorated and very comfy seats. The service was excellent and the food was even better. We had a lovely evening and will be back.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Izgara, and it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. This gem, nestled in the heart of whetstone , offers a perfect blend of exceptional cuisine, impeccable service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. **Ambiance:** The moment you step inside, you are greeted with a beautifully designed interior that strikes a perfect balance between elegance and comfort.

The menu offers a diverse array of dishes, each crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail. Every bite was a delight, showcasing fresh ingredients and masterful preparation.

Whether you are a fan of [cuisine type] or looking to try something new, [Restaurant Name] delivers on all fronts. **Drinks:** The drink menu is equally impressive, featuring a well-curated selection of wines, craft beers, and innovative cocktails. The Raki was a personal favorite, perfectly complementing the flavors of our meal. **Value:** While Izgara is on the higher end of the price spectrum, the quality of the experience justifies every penny. The portions are generous, and the culinary excellence, combined with the superb service, makes it worth the splurge. **Conclusion:** In summary, Izgara provides an exceptional dining experience that is hard to match.

Had a very tasty meal at this Izgara restaurant. Very good for vegetarians too.

Delicious Turkish cuisine lovely staff nice atmosphere 👍

Izgara has always been good, tasty food and warm helpful service. Our last meal went up a level. The starters were beautifully presented and delicious and the mains varied and and flavoursome. I had sea bream fillets which were well cooked and a good sized portion, 2 generous fillets. My husband had an interesting chicken dish. Will be back there soon.

Lovely staff and management is friendly will always come back is now becoming my regular

Great food in a lively atmosphere and the service is very good too

We had a lovely meal at Izgara. Appetizers were shared and they were delicious. My Main course I chose the spinach cheese pancake. An unusual menu item for a Persian restaurant but it was very tasty. Staff and decor were lovely and a lovely Place for dinner.

I would thoroughly recommend this exceptionally good local restaurant serving delicious food in very pleasant surroundings.

Had to be the best Turkish restaurant in North London.Ozzie ,Ayshe and the team are superb.Friendly and welcome and service at its best.

I love IZGARA in Whetstone. Their food and service is consistently of a high standard. It’s become like our second home as we’re always made to feel so welcome! Thank you especially to Ozzie and Ayse for their superb hospitality.

An excellent place to have a family lunch. Great, fresh and delicious meals. Staff is always super friendly.

lovely food and wine nice atmosphere friendly staff well done 🙏🫶

Our favorite place in the area tasty food 🪬

Service was perfect and delicious food ❤️🌟

Great food, great service and Ibe only given the noise level a two because there was a birthday party as well as the restaurant being busy so it should be noisy!

Lovely dinner. Great place with amazing food. Recommended.

Amazing food, lovely service, and a great owner. Also, they are great with food allergies and help throughout the meal. I highly recommend going there! It's worth any penny. Limited parking but there is a parking lot around the corner from the restaurant and you do have to pay but it's not expensive.

Wonderful food as always and very friendly staff - I love going there but it has become soooo expensive. We had a main dish each, a glass of wine, a coke, 2 desserts and 2 mint teas. The bill? £81! So I will go there less often as it has become too expensive

Lovely food and service always nice to be here 🍷🌹

Absolutely fantastic service Tasty food 👍

Excellent service, great food and wonderful atmosphere. Staff are lovely

Best Turkish Restaurant in North London, good service and amazing food. Can’t wait to comeback and have an incredible experience again

Fabulous restaurant Great atmosphere lovely staff love all 👌

Grill is a really nice restaurant, wonderful and very delicious food, prices are very affordable, thank you to the head waiter Ozgur and his team, everything was perfect, we will come again.

Delicious Turkish cuisine filling&freshly prepared in a nice and friendly atmosphere for a fairly reasonable price. Tenderness meat , flavours dishes and best cocktail made by Mr mixologist Özgür 👍👍

The ambiance is fantastic, complemented by upbeat music, cheerful staff, and generously portioned dishes. Please try the chicken wings and lamb ribs—they're personal favorites of mine and absolutely worth a try!

I love the dimlight ambiance thatsets the stage for an exceptional dining experience. The extensive salad menu offers fresh, locally sourced ingredients in generous portions, while the beverage selection caters to every preference, from fine wines to expertly crafted cocktails.

Booked Easter Sunday lunch, with family at Izgara in Whetstone, the food as always is very good. The desserts were great too.

Visited with friends. Food was delicious with lots of vegetarian options. Service was great and nice atmosphere. I will highly recommend and will be back soon !

Amazing food,great friendly staff

We went to the Izgara Restaurant Whetstone on Saturday evening 16 March 24. The food and service were excellent and without fault. However the restaurant was overcrowded. They managed to squeeze in a table at every nook and cranny and consequently it was more than uncomfortable. At the next table the two diners had starters only and left as it was getting more cramped and confined. Our food was first class but we were unable to stay for dessert and coffee due the noise and and lack of personal space, and were relieved to reach the front door and open space.

I’ve been a few times before and never been disappointed, the food is always tasty and fresh and the staff are very attentive.

Easy 5 stars..clean honest food lovely people..fair prices..definitely we will recommend this restaurant...

We decided to come here for Mother’s Day as a last minute idea, and we are so glad that we did! We not only accommodated for us but also allowed us to have our pram next to the table as we have a newborn baby. The food was incredible, we ordered the lamb shish and it was perfect. The waitress even gave us boiled water to disinfect the dummy that got dropped - so very thoughtful and appreciated as a new mother! Would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back x

Took my vegetarian granddaughter for the first time and she couldn’t believe the choice and thought the food was delicious.

The lamb shish was spectacular we all really enjoyed it. Portions great. The restaurant was only 30% full but the kitchen was all over the place Our starters arrived at least 5 minutes apart - the cold one first, then 3 minutes later hot soups then at least 3 minutes later grilled helium. Why wasn't it all coordinated with the grilled starter ? Very strange

A wonderful lunch meet up with old colleagues. Quietly welcoming & helpful staff. Absolutely delicious spinach, feta pancake wraps with generous variety if salads. We all LOVED it.

As always excellent service and wonderful food- an outstanding restaurant

The food was very delicious however it is a bit pricy.

"Absolutely fantastic service! The team at Izgara Whetstone went above and beyond to ensure I had a wonderful experience. Not only was their service prompt and efficient, but their friendly demeanor made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. The food was exceptional, and the staff's attentiveness truly made me feel valued as a customer. I highly recommend Izgara Whetstone to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience with impeccable service!"

Delicious food nice place highly recommended

Great local restaurant - been coming here for years - always friendly and delicious food … thanks Jon

Very average, this venue would not survive on green lanes or in stoke newington where the competition would be too fierce and the food would look sub par

Amazing service, delicious food and relaxing atmosphere. Izgara is our fav. restaurant in London.

Took my son for Sunday lunch today. Both the food and service were excellent. Lovely relaxed atmosphere for any occasion created by Ozzie and the rest of the team. Will be back soon.

Good food, generous portions. Good choice of vegetarian dishes. Gets a bit noisy.

Food was fantastic, great vegetarian range. Polite, professional service. Will be going again.

Had a lovely dinner with friends. The food and atmosphere were superb and all staff were very smiley. All together it was a great experience. Thank you

Yummy food, huge portions next time we go we’ll order half. For the kids I needed to specify not to add dressings for things like crudite. Staff were lovely but needed reminding re: some drinks, forgot to bring water and my son’s juice.

We hosted a party for 80 guests last night. The food was amazing, the service was amazing, a perfect night. Thank you so much.

Great atmosphere, so tasty food ,great service

Great service, friendly staff abd delicious dishes.

Fantastic food with great service, even with the restaurant being packed out on a Saturday night.

The best Turkish place in North London.

Really enjoyed our visit, all four of us enjoyed the choice of meze which we shared and our own main courses, really tasty and plentiful. Pretty good value but service a little tardy as the team were overstretched but overall very good

The food and service was good. We went for dinner and particularly loved the starters; hummus kavurma, sucuk, chicken liver and kibbeh. From the mains, the meat moussaka was the highlight and I would highly recommend it.

This is the second time at Izgara the whetstone the service is always on point and the food also the waiter made our Christmas celebration dinner memorable. We will definitely go back the staff always makes our night extra special with their laughters.

Nice restaurant but short of staff to serve. Have to call for the waiting staff for many times, dessert menu was given 30 mins after the plates were cleared. Not very happy to pay 10% service charge with this poor service. Most of the Turkish restaurants in and around London serves free Turkish tea, be aware that they charge £2.25 each. I will think twice before going there again.

Excellent Turkish food at reasonable prices. Good service.
