Meral's cafe bistro in Barnet

Workman's breakfast false advertised. Read 'sausages' but only 1 on plate, asked if this was correct despite the sign, they said it was. Was quite funny when she did offer to cook another, but for extra money as is standard. This should have been corrected free of charge as the advertisement was clear. Eggs were below average, bacon was dry, sausage was ok, coffee was ok, toast was warm bread. Fair play had ample beans and chips. Other member of staff played bad music loudly off her phone in the dining area during her break. They do seem like nice people honestly, friendly, polite etc, but just oblivious to good cafe etiquette. Save your money, go elsewhere!

merals staff got my order completely wrong, i gave my order 3 times and still they botched up my my order. member of merals staff arguing with me, ( in front of all the other customers customers ) and patronizing me as if im an idiot, no apologies. i was charged £13:50p expensive or what ( iv been ripped off ?, or did they see me coming ? ) for a quarter pounder beefburger, fries, and a coke, a mediocre meal with small portions for the price. not happy .... you decide. ....

Wonderful food! The flat white is amazing and the people were very kind.

Amazing place! I always come here for the SUPER SMOOTHIES, tasty heart-shaped toasties and FAST WiFi ❤️🙌🍒😜

I came here for the first time few years ago and since then I have my breakfast here everytime I visit London 😍😍

Such a wonderful place! It's clean and tidy. Food is great and the service is superb. It's clear that the staff and customers adore this place. As a tourist this was a great experience. Portions are big and prices are very reasonable. If you're in Cricklewood then come eat at Meral's - you won't regret it :)

Using it everyday of our hols because the food is so good and better value than the Crown Hotel where we stayed in.

Loved it! English breakfast was delicious. Simple, tasty and affordable

Great breakfast. And they had a veggie full english too!

Friendly staff with delicious breakfast

Beauty food breakfast very good price good atmosphere A class will come back again thank you again Very good food and Service 4k bread brioche the best 5*****

It’s a very cute and small cafe. The staff is simply amazing , very warm. I went a couple of times with my toddler and they were just so nice and patient with him. The food is cheap and come quite fast.

Come here for brunch! Big portions, amazing flavors, juices made with real fruit. We had the All Day Breakfast and the Light Breakfast, both delicious. Prices are cheaper than central.

Very nice employees and it’s very clean inside. The food was perfectly cooked and delicious. Great value for money as well.

Very kind staff also delicious breakfast. Good generous portions for a breakfast.

Very tasty and cheap. Very nice service. Mrs. Anna is nice and beautiful and complements this atmosphere. Boss Ally is a great boss and cook. I highly recommend it.

I had brunch with my partner at Meral's Cafe Bistro and it was wonderful, the staff were very friendly and the oreo milkshake was fantastic!!! The portions are quite big too! Definitely would recommend :D

We were looking for a good hearty breakfast in London - and this was top notch - much better than your standard greasy spoon! Super friendly staff, good food and good coffee.

MERALS CAFE ! It's my everyday cafe for me and I've been going ever since I could remember. BEST CAFE IN NORTH WEST LONDON. I try to gate-keep it as much because there aren't many cafe's nowadays which offer exceptional customer service and a good atmosphere. You can get possibly anything here freshly made from the fabulous chefs, anything from breakfast, lunch or even Brunch! . It's also caters to everyone offering halal menu. New management and he's Amazing ,so friendly makes you feel like your at home and the lovely lady who makes the best cappuccino in town. GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY AS WELL, DESERVES EVERY PENNY . IT'S A 10/10 FOR ME AND MAKE SURE YOU TRY IT IF YOUR EVER IN THE CRICKLEWOOD AREA.

Great breakfast. Huge selection. Staff very efficient and friendly. Restaurant very clean. Represented very good value for money

Friendly service, tasty food at very reasonable prices. Place is impeccably clean. Large menu and very accommodating staff/owner. We were made feel at home.

The food was amazing and the service was very friendly.

Every return to this bistro is a delight. The staff gracefully cater to any menu adjustments, ensuring a seamless experience. The coffee is exceptional, enhancing the welcoming atmosphere. Cleanliness is top-notch, rounding out the comfortable setting. It’s my preferred spot for a warm, inviting dining experience.

Staff are amazing, food is amazing, milkshakes use real fruit. Lovely deco . I'll be back

Lovely up to date cafe serving lovely food. Service was great staff were friendly and attentive. Cleanliness was 10/10 will recommend for breakfast and lunch ☺️

Stopped for breakfast on two occasions at Merlas Bistro, staff were so friendly and helpful, fabulous choice in the menu.. I had the Mexican breakfast which was so very tasty .. Highly recommend a visit to Merlas Bistro

Merlas Bistro A Must Stoped on two occasions for breakfast, staff are very friendly , helpful and accommodating .. extensive menu on offer.. Mexicak breakfast was a first for me , very tasty

Always come here when in Cricklewood, excellent service, a good choice of well cooked breakfast or lunch and great coffee. Also the fresh juices are superb. Family run i think, always a warm welcome.

Guys if you looking for something to eat in this cold weather come here is all good and delicious I’m go crazy for the ham cheese omelette 😋😋😋😋take this picture 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Top quality food, very pleasant wait staff.

Entramos en Meral’s por casualidad por su cercanía a Cricklewood Station, y , a partir de ahí, repetimos todos los días. Excelente variedad de desayunos y otras comidas. Platos generosos, buen café, buena relación calidad precio y sobre todo, un personal muy profesional y amable.

Went a few years ago and it was great. However, Dec 2023 it wasn't very nice at all. I had the lamb chops and they were too chewy.

Big add in front of shop that you get tea or coffee with breakfast but actually you don't get any cofee,need to pay separate

A great place with varied menu and cosy feel.

Very lovely place, it was our 1ts place for breakfasts in London. Price is reasonable, English breakfast is delicious and the service is good.

cozy, tasty and v affordable! my boyfriend and i come to this gem of a place quite often and we love it here! stop by if you have a chance!

I have been coming here for years and it is one of my fav breakfast cafe in the area. Tasty vegetarian breakfast and generous portions! Staff always polite and chef makes amazing dishes ✨

Great cafe in Cricklewood full breakfast is amazing the staff make us feel at home also because they are so friendly🇮🇪❤️

Very friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere

One of the best full Irish breakfast in UK. Lovely staff!

Ohhh wow... It really has a very good atmosphere as well as his dishes test. The food is also so tasty and the way of serving is so beautiful.

A very good place, with excellent service and taste food Don't miss

La comida buenísima y el personal muy atento y amable!! Si estás por la zona es recomendable 100%

Great place for breakfast. Excellent food and good service

Great breakfast 😋 and staff are welcoming and polite. Also a clean place

Amazing! Defiantly go there to have a good (English) breakfast! Plates were full, salad fresh, Coffee tasted great and service was really nice. Will defiantly go there again!

Nice, fruendly, goood food, good experience

Fantastic every time I go in, haven't been in a while due to be giving birth to triplets but the staff is exceptional in Customer Services it's a shame they are a dying breed.

First of all. Food and drinks are amazing tasty, while prices are good it’s still good portions that’ll make you full! The atmosphere is great, both for small companies and if you’re going a lot out to eat here. Last of all I gotta recommend the service. Super considerate always smiling and checking in. Loved it, would give more stars if I could. Thanks 🤗

Breakfast for two and a cup of coffee and a tea, everything was hot. The setting was nice and clean.

I ordered Benedict with extra hash browns. Everything tastes good! It is only my preference that the eggs can be cooked just few seconds longer so that the yolk will be more dense and creamy.

Amazing American-style bistro with typical dishes and great milkshakes. Perfect for breakfast as well as just hanging around.

The best English Breakfast I’ve had in years. Even the sausage was tasty. Heinz beans also makes the difference. Great decor and incredibly friendly and caring staff. Today was my second time there and definitely not the last.

An absolute gem of a cafe, super food especially the fry and pacakes and fabulous friendly staff 5*

amazing breakfast place!!! Very nice staff.

Really good food and big portion snd tasty food!!! Highly recommended!! Coffe as well just perfect

A good old greasy spoon thoroughly enjoyed my visit there. The food was very good.

Nice place to have a little break

We specifically returned to Merals when visiting London as the food is delicious, the menu fantastic and the service second to none. Highly recommend this little cafe bistro. It will not disappoint.

I had breakfast with my family here recently and can't recommend it highly enough. Great range of options, large portion sizes, and everything was delicious and very well priced.

Never had a bad experience here. A great selection of different foods, generous portion sizes and lots of bargains so good for all budgets.

Firstly the portion sizes are insane here, especially as it’s not pricey at all compared to any other brunch cafes. If you’re looking for good comfort food, or a huge breakfast this is the perfect cafe for you. The staff are so so friendly, they have Halal options available for you and the atmosphere in the shop is so calming with plenty of seating available.

Stopped in for breakfast, and it was really really good. Service was great and I would definitely recommend eating here if you are in the area.

We popped in for breakfast because we were staying in the area briefly. It’s a friendly and welcoming place, and the menu has some interesting things on it. I got the Mexican Breakfast (eggs, chorizo, peppers, avocado, spinach, sweet corn and halloumi on a tortilla) and my wife got the Healthy Breakfast (or similar name - poached eggs, avocado, salad, toast). Everything was delicious, service was friendly and the coffee was good too.

Gorgeous place, great food and fantastic service.

I usually trust Google with its reviews and it doesn’t let me down. This place was very disappointing. I ordered salmon benedict which was the saddest Salmon Benedict i have ever eaten. See it in the picture. They didn’t bother to sauté or dress the spinach , hollandaise sauce seems like bought from the store and squirted on cheap English muffins, tomatoes are yellowish hard as a rock .. What a fail.. We had amazing breakfast in London previous two days for the same price and third day unfortunately had this. I am sorry but I have no idea where did these reviews came from..

Went into Meral's with my husband on Friday morning, when we were shopping in Cricklewood. We'd only intended to have a quick coffee and a pastry, but then we spotted the cooked breakfasts, and there was no turning back! Absolutely delicious food, really generous helpings, great value for money, and the staff are all lovely - can't recommend it highly enough. If we lived in the area we'd definitely be regulars here!

Really pleasant people, the waitress was super friendly and the food was delicious as well as generously portioned.

First time visiting this establishment and really impressed by the cleanliness, friendly staff, quality of the food and above all excellent value.

Amaizing food and service. Worth every penny. The waitress is very nice and helpful! Thank you for perfect breakfast!

Gone down hill since a couple of years ago, milk shakes total joke, take awy toasted cheese sandwich the same, wont ever go back

Excellent food and really nice staff

Really good food and nice service.

Dropped in for breakfast. 2 adults, 2 kids. Staff extremely friendly. Premises lovely and warm and very inviting. Food was absolutely gorgeous. Kids enjoyed pancakes and smoothies. We had full breakfasts. Would definitely return if we are in cricklewood again. Just a little observation that sums up staff friendliness- I observed the server serve an older gentleman a takeaway dish. She obviously knew him well as she put her hand out and helped him stand up and then she walked out ahead of him and opened the door for him. Lovely to see. Thanks for the experience

This place is deffinately not a 4.8 starts. This is what a 7£ english breakfast looks like.

I used to love this place but today they let me down. Cold beans, and far too much butter on the toast. And when you say something they are shocked and slow to correct it. I was half way through my breakfast before I recieved replacement toast. Going to explore other place now as this place has gone downhill. Beans all over the place and cold. Chipped plate Soggey toast one bite and the butter on the tissue is what came off of my mouth. Come on guys get it together.

Great variety of breakfasts, good portions, and always cooked brilliantly.

Little gem in Cricklewood. Tasty food with quick and friendly service. We tried the pancakes and they were the best ones we had in a while. Will be back for sure.

Ótimo atendimento, melhor café da manhã, ótima qualidade e preço. Com certeza voltarei !

It's Fantastic! The food is sooo good and tasty. The place is Wonderful and the Waitresses are lovely persons. And with drinks the same! The coffee was delicious and the juices too. If you stay in London in this area of ​​Cricklewood I can assure you that you will not find a better place to have breakfast. Highly recommended

Good coffee and a breakfast bap for a fiver. Friendly service to boot.

High tasty meals and good atmosphere. Reasonable prices

We were staying at a nearby hotel and enjoyed a tasty breakfast with excellent service here this morning. Very pleasant staff. Great varied choice of breakfasts. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Fabulous food and excellent service

We had breakfast here and it was delicious. Nice and kind personnel. I definitely recommend this place.

The best English breakfast in the neighborhood, great service, I'm a regular guest and I love Metal's Cafe Bistro!

Lovely breakfast. Huge portion and reasonably priced. Coffee is not bad too. Friendly staff.

Looking for an awesome place to start your day; don't look any further! Metal's Cafe Bistro is the place to go!

Consistently good. one of the best in Cricklewood. Amazing English breakfast

Have been here a couple of times and find it is a fantastic place. All the food I have had has been great - especially the Mexican breakfast . And service is nice and good too.

Nice food, good portion sizes, good prices, but often get the order wrong. I go regularly and have the omelets and fries.

Love the cafe food is always amazing and the barista makes the best lattes I've ever had! It's my boyfriends favourite cafe and now it's mine too!

Great fry ups, great value, lovely staff

Great local cafe, very comfortable and the decor is cool. Food is delicious and plentiful! Service is so friendly and quick. Definitely recommended.

Stumbled across Merals today whilst in Cricklewood - fantastic place. Food delicious and fresh. Portions were huge. Fantastic service and they were so kind to my daughter. Will definitely go back!

Can't beat a good merals! Been going here for years.. the service is great always, potions are huge and pretty!

A brilliant cafe with a really full and widespread menu. The place is spotlessly clean! The staff are all warm and friendly. The food was brilliant!! Absolutely recommended this place.

Great food always prompt service. Bit pricey but you can oversee that when the girls serve your food they are beautiful to look at lol

Best breakfast.staff very friendly .I thoroughly recommended this to eat a meal at any time. Right price for all the food they cook
