One Ashbourne in Barnet

My son and I visited on for Sunday lunch. We opted for the tasting menu, including a glass of wine. The restaurant wasn’t busy and the serving staff were polite and attentive. Excellent food, from bread and olive oil right through to the dessert. The highlight of the meal has to be the rack of lamb; so tender and tasty! Bookmarked this place for a return visit next time I’m in this part of the world!

We went to celebrate our birthdays with friends fantastic service the food was stunning. Was very tasty and well presented and plently of it. It was expensive but well worth it. We will be going again in the near future.

We had our reservation for 4 cancelled a day in advance as they taken a booking for the whole restaurant. Fair enough and we were begrudgingly offered starters on the house if we rebooked. Ate there tonight and when we reminded the waiter before the bill came we were told they’d only knock off two starters. Service was a shambles. Waited twenty minutes for bottled water which we asked for three times. Three starters came then one later, two mains then two later. Staff no idea about menu or how to place order on iPad. It seems everyone is new and untrained. Waitress three days, head waiter 10 days. The delightful front of house lady (three weeks) tried really hard to rectify the situation with the starters and expressed our dissatisfaction to the boss who was sat at a table but didn’t come over. She managed to get him to knock off three starters. I said it wasn’t what we’d been offered and was incredibly petty but he wouldn’t budge. I won’t be going back.

Only upmarket element here are the prices. The food was good but service and management well below their price bracket. Amateur staff who linger and keep pushing for you to order expensive dishes and insist on telling you all the price of each dish. Failed to deliver all starters together. Failed to deliver mains together but hovered to push you to order drinks that we didn’t want. Mentioned the poor delivery service and no apology Twice they started to clear dishes when guests still eating No training whatsoever The whole way of serving is amateur and like a cafe not a good restaurant. Doubt we will go back, great shame. Have been before but it’s all gone downhill Far better options about

Amazing Restaurant, everything was delicious and the service was great! Highly recommended! I will definitely come back here again.

They pack in as many tables as they can. No space to breath. Me and my wife ordered medium rare steaks. They then arrived chewy as anything. We sent them back and asked for them to be re-cooked . The owner then came over to tell us why we were wrong and how that is what rib eye are meant to taste like. Ermmm, I’ve had medium rare steaks before and they were not like eating chewing gum. He was very rude and intimidating. Much better ‘expensive’ kosher places in London.

We've been to One Ashbourne a number of times since it first opened and noticed on this occasion a distinct change in the standard of service, atmosphere and presentation of the restaurant. On entering, napkins were piled up in front of the bar with an iron - as if mid-laundry, there was a pile of aprons stacked up on a table, the salt beef slicing machine was on one side. The whole entrance area looked like a dumping ground and whilst there were plenty of staff, it took a few moments for someone to come and meet us. On being seated, we were given a mix of menus, some in proper binders, others just as stapled photocopies. When we went to order, we were immediately told that we really should order something to start because there would be a long wait for main course. However the restaurant was by no means full - there were about 4 or 5 tables occupied, one of which was at dessert. We went ahead and ordered foccacia. My husband ordered a glass of sauvignon blanc. First of all he was brought a glass of red wine, then was brought, by the manager (who was scruffily dressed), a glass of pinot and was told they were out of sauvignon. Barely an apology and he virtually pushed that as an alternative. When the 'foccacia' arrived, it was clear that it wasn't proper foccacia, it was toast bread with some dips. It was clearly misrepresented on the menu. We then waited a further45 minutes for our main courses. Through our wait we had the misfortune of witnessing one of the senior waitresses arguing with the Manager. After about 30 minutes someone came to say that our food would be coming shortly. It didn't. When the food finally arrived, it was the only think that rescued a really poor evening, with the exception that the fat wasn't sufficiently rendered on the rack of lamb. The food was really tasty and well presented and the chips were excellent. It was very hard to get the attention of staff and one staff member started to clear our plates before all the table had finished eating. I asked her to stop. Eventually, we managed to get the attention of the senior waitress who asked us how things were and I noted that it was unpleasant to have witnessed her and the manager arguing throughout our meal. To her credit, she apologised. At no point, despite the various issues we'd had were we offered any reduction or gesture of good will. The junior staff need training in not leaning across guests when clearing. Given the quality of the food, we decided to allow the service charge but on reflection we really shouldn't have, for what was an expensive meal for 5 people. As I was leaving (and waiting for my father-in-law's coat which took forever to be returned), the Manager asked how the evening was. When I reiterated that it was very unpleasant to be witnessing him and the waitress arguing, he sought to justify it as a problem between her and the kitchen. At no point did he apologise or really listen to my feedback. A really disappointing end to a woeful evening. Whoever owns One Ashbourne needs to take a serious look at the management.

We have been before to this upmarket kosher restaurant. I have to say the food , when we received it , was excellent, but the service was terrible. The problem was not the waiting staff who really tried their best , but within the kitchen . Clearly, there were too many tables , the restaurant was full and the kitchen just could not cope. We arrived at 7.35 pm as booked and our order was not taken till 8.05. The first course which was soup, took 25 minutes to arrive and the main course followed on well over an hour later. There were people who arrived after us who got served before.so clearly there was disorganisation in the kitchen. My advicevwould be that if some of the tables were removed then the kitchen would not be under so much pressure. The owner attempted to put things right by offering a free desert, but the comment from him that it was not a kebab house and I shouldn’t necessarily expect everything quickly, was, quite frankly out of order. It certainly did not have kebab prices there! We will not return as it was disappointing.

Brilliant service , delicious food and a very classy decor and atmosphere. 5* all round . Great specials on Sundays and Tuesdays

The food was nice - not hugely better than any other NW London kosher restaurant, but nice enough. The experience however was hugely unpleasant. From walking in to all the restaurant's laundry all over the entrance with the iron left out on a table and chairs all stacked at the side, to the lack of staff meaning one poor waitress (who was working her absolute hardest) was RUNNING between tables and jumping steps to the kitchen to try and keep on top of the orders. Took an hour to have our order taken, drinks orders were never taken, people in the restaurant were having to go to the kitchen to ask for condiments / drinks etc. This wasnt a luxury experience and wouldnt be somewhere I would return to.

Always have a great meal here. Food is beautifully presented and tastes great. The team who work here are really good - very professional. Would recommended to anyone looking for a good meal in north west London

The chicken soup was revolting. My steak which I ordered rare was served very well done and they said that's how they make their steaks. It cost £80... Football was on very loudly and disturbing customers. Avoid. Frauds.

Food amazing, hot and delicious. Soup was silky Duck salad was excellent. Steak was outstanding. Service was attentive and i look forward to returning.

Great cocktails. Great service. Hit up the duck salad and rack of lamb's. Overall great restaurant The atmosphere was very warm , the staff and owner was very welcoming. Great place for a fancy dinner.

Went here for a salt- beef bagel today . When it arrived it was covered in mustard . I said I didn’t like mustard and the reply was “ What do you want me to do about it ? “ The waiter very grudgingly took it away . The replacement came with the smallest amount of salt - beef I have ever seen it must have weighed 20g at the most ! The waiter then asked me how I was enjoying my bagel and I mentioned that the amount of salt - beef was very disappointing. He told me everyone praises the salt - beef bagel and got very defensive ! Certainly won’t be returning back there . Will stick to Grill Bar on Brent Street in future where you get a fabulous amount of salt - beef and get served with a smile

After a 2 year hiatus because of Covid, I'm on the road again, and have now been to One Ashbourne a couple of times recently. Tonight's visit was noticeable in that as of last week there is now a new manager. The main problem with...

Excellent taste. The Bean and broccoli salad with chimichury was great and so was the 500gr steak. Will reurn

We arrived at one o'clock for a reserved table. We were the only ones in the restaurant. Then two other tables came. A couple with two children and a father and daughter. So not a lot of people. First course came, soup, promptly hot and...

We went for half price steak (Tuesdays) and were really impressed. Good service. Food came quickly. Steak was cooked to perfection and sides were tasty. will definitely come back.

We had a wonderful wedding reception here and it's a favourite of our new extended family who live nearby. I must commend our waiter who was so friendly and helpful. I started with a prosecco. The prices were daunting. The steak astronomically priced, but it...

Excellent Uruguayan dry aged steak - get it whilst it lasts! Tasted the new Tuna carpaccio with chilli and ginger starter - amazing what the Chef is coming up with at Ashbourne!

Excellent take away meal. We enjoyed a delicious dinner of superb quality from One Ashbourne. Highly recommend the duck salad and the chicken breast dish. Excellent crumble too!!

The most delicious kosher burger with exceptional service ! The manager was extremely attentive, friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Very sad that tier three means it will be closed ! We can’t wait for it to reopen ! Emma...

One Ashbourne is a lovely restaurant with delicious food (although when we went in May 2019, despite having only 3 tables occupied service was slow. But One Ashbourne cannot do takeaway. Their burgers at £20 were chewy and dry and not a patch on some...

Nothing to write home about. Prices are EXTREME, even for kosher food. Decor is lacklustre, place wasn’t very clean. Service without a smile. For the price I’d expect much more. £15 child meal is a joke.

What a wonderful discovery: good service and subtle flavoursome food. I would return without hesitation. One Ashbourne is the antidote to the negative expectations too often realised at kosher London restaurants: - staff who smile, are professional and quick to respond (none of the purposeful...

Great experience eating here tonight. Tasty food, great ambiance and decor, attentive and speedy service. They've got all the right Covid precautions in place too. Will be coming back. It's not cheap, but Kosher dining never is. So you might as well go somewhere as...

Our food was exquisite. Most exceptional dish: Tomahawke. Highly recommend. Abiance moody and stylish. Ben- Thank you for a great night out and world class service. Martin and Sara @12

Great service. Great food and attention to detail. Friendly staff. Beautiful presentation and really nice decor and ambience. The perfect place for an occasion. Check out those dry aged steaks!

Used to be a bookshop and now a fancy restuarant. Good menu. Ambiance is fine, but noisy if crowded. Very high price and portions are small. Desipte the price all sides are extras. Although service is good, constant interruption of our conversation to check we...

Today I visited One Ashbourne today. The new menu was delicious I had chicken liver pate and a rare Steak with new potatoes and green beans. Ben maybe a bit of nutter but his food is beautiful.

I ate at One Ashbourne for the fourth time and they have a new chef since I was last there. The whole meal was absolutely outstanding and on a par with the best meals I have eaten all over the world. We had the chicken...

Wanted to try this restaurant for a while, didn’t disappoint, fantastic meal last night at One Ashbourne including a fantastic melt in your mouth apple crumble! Staff & service excellent too.

Food was ok slightly over priced, Presentation was fairly vanilla, service was ok but lacked any Personalities. Over all the restaurant lacks atmosphere.

I live in Israel but I’ve been twice . Once had the steak , the second time , the lamb . Both were excellent . I didn’t think you could get a decent meat meal in London, until I came here. Highly recommended ! MG

This is definetly a hidden gem, it might not look that impressive from the outside and it seems to be a restaurant that is more for the locals. However, the atmosphere inside is relaxed, friendly and the interior feels fresh in a retro-ish artdeco style....

With their new menu this Restaurant has now restored its position as one of London's Premier Kosher Restaurants. We ordered a varied menu and every dish was excellent. Well cooked, generous servings and excellent service. The staff were very friendly and the experience was simply...

Last night we went to One Ashbourne for dinner with friends from Manchester who are strictly kosher. They were beside themselves with praise for the restaurant, service and the food. We started with a selection of Popcorn chicken, Arancini balls, Chicken Yakatori and Beef carpaccio...

We were a little put off by some unpleasant reviews, but as this restaurant is conveniently located close to where we’re staying we decided to give it a go. We needn’t have worried. A very cold night, the restaurant was heated to a pleasant temperature....

I ate in the restaurant tonight and they had a terrible toilet smell which was terrible . It was impossible to enjoy the food and the service was a disaster!!

Even the kosher Pino Grigio was excellent ! It is local and we left laughing!! It is good to support local businesses too.

Three of us went for lunch.The place was empty and so cold we kept our coats on. The owner who took our order was inappropriately dressed and rather scruffy Chicken soup with dumplings was ordered It arrived without the dumplings.7£ for a bowl of water...

Got sat in a very tight corner, under the eves and next to a cupboard door. The table was also around 10cm away from the next table. We were so close to the couple on the next table it felt like we were at a...

Lovely food and even better service visited on Sunday and enjoyed my self so much, was good value for money

Don’t be put off by the prices as this is a case of getting what u pay for. Never been there before but will certainly go again. Last minute decision and made very welcome. Nothing too much trouble and recognised it was our wedding anniversary...

Screaming kitchen and rude ownership/management Not a kosher place please try and find something else

Got placed near the toilets after booking. Loads of other tables free. When we asked to move, we were told it wasn’t possible despite the chemical smell, because all the tables were fully booked. Turned out to be a complete lie. Food took ages to...

Fantastic food! Highlight was definitely the duck which was cooked to perfection. Lovely ambience. Very impressed with the owner who came over to make sure everything was ok. Would definitely come again

Went to One Ashbourne for 1st time this week. Nice ambience very helpful manager and staff. Wide choice of dishes on menu at varying prices. Had delicious beef burger with fries and extras for £18 pkus a large glass of cabernet sauvignon wine for £9....

Went as a family (4 teenagers) to celebrate a birthday and were all very pleasantly surprised. - The menu is very original considering it’s a kosher establishment. - most dishes are excellent both in taste and presentation - prices in line with non kosher restaurants...

OMG! What a dining experience. Have never tasted food like this - and the fact that it was kosher was sublime and delicious! We had the lamb dish and the seared duck salad. Can't believe we have never gone here before. Would so recommend.

Having read mixed reviews about this restaurant, I was not expecting much. However, the evening I had with my family was wonderful. We were a group of 10 celebrating GCSE results. There are some very fussy eaters in my family who had very specific food...

I went to this restaurant today for lunch. Was told that the lunch menu they have on their web site is not available at lunchtime!!. No apologies or explanation. Just they only want people at lunchtime who order the top price dishes. They were unbothered...

Sooooooo goooood really good for the price and definitely worth going again never had a better burger or steak or lamb or lemon tart

Whilst the food was acceptable the service was appalling. Most if not all the waiting staff appeared to be in training and were totally inexperienced. When we complained about the wine (which was just plonked on the table without it being offered for trying let...

One ashbourne is a beautiful restaurant . The service was excellent the steaks and burgers were amazing as well as the desserts. This restaurant is not to be missed on a visit to London. It closes at 10:30 pm. Make sure to try the zucchini...

Don't visit this restaurant unless you approve of places which exploit, bully and cheat their staff.

We are here last night with friends. From the moment we arrived, the greeting was friendly and professional and that was the tone throughout the evening. Lovely decor, comfortable but not too formal. An open kitchen with proper chefs doing their thing. A good drinks...

I was looking forward to going to this eatery for many months, unfortunately the experience was a disappointment. The starters were good, but my order got screwed up on the main. My friends main was also not good but she at least received what she...

Having walked out of another local eaterie due to the poor hygiene standards and another 2 that were full we were delighted to find One. We ordered a selection of about 6 light dishes, all of which were delicious. We ordered drinks and some tap...

OK, so it's a bit expensive. But - by golly, what a meal! 12 of us descended on a Wednesday evening- all ages from 18 months to 94 and all were wonderfully cared for. Food was delicious, service impeccable - and Stavros - the Chef...

Not my first visit, and one often notices new places which start well but then go downhill. Not this place!! Previously sampled dishes were as good as before, but this time I decided to try the seared seabass. This was really an exciting dish. The...

This evening we experienced kosher dining as it should be and this has beated the local competition, hands down. Both the adults and the grandchildren really enjoyed their choices which were far ranging. Service was good but needs some more training. Nice to have the...

For too long, kosher restaurants have been very expensive schwarma shops. The proliferation of Israeli style shopfronts were exciting first up but soon became boring fare. Tired of schwarma, falafel, burgers, schnitzel.... I can reel off the menu for most of these places and it...

Just had another very enjoyable meal. Duck was so good as was the schnitzel. Worth a visit. The menu is different and interesting. Nice change for a modern menu in a kosher restaurant.

Wonderful food in a lovely setting. The food was delicious (especially the tomahawk steak!) and service was efficient and friendly. Very welcoming management team. So great to finally have a kosher restaurant in London that holds itself to a high standard.

Came for lunch on the 14th of February. Heard so much from friends,decided to give it a try. My expectations in general high when I eat outside, because I pay for it... so everything was ok, until when we ordered bottle of wine, the guy...

I found the restaurant rather noisy and the cost of the meal excessive with not a great choice on the menu. I do get annoyed when vegetables are at an extra cost. The service was fine but not for me.

Scrumptious food, great service and fair pricing in this upper class steakhouse and all other goodies in London. Sticky lamb ribs and lamb chops were perfectly cooked. Nice wine list too. Only problem? Huge portions that you can take home!

Went out for dinner at One Ashbourne kosher restaurant. Absoutely delicious food. Refined kosher dining. Amazing choice of everything. Starters fabulous, mains out of this world.... A definite must.

Went for dinner here and was impressed. From the easy booking system to the friendly staff it was a really nice evening. Started with the lamb ribs which were so tender and succulent. They were full of flavour and cooked perfectly. We also had duck...

We went last evening for dinner, a party of 6. Overall, we enjoyed the evening, both the service and food were excellent. it was our second visit, and as good as the first. one niggle, we wanted but couldn't get a round table. We thought...

Have been to One Ashbourne a couple times previously during the evening, and always been thoroughly impressed. Food, service & decor all excellent. Most recently, was in for lunch with associates. They’ve introduced a really good value 2 course set lunch menu. Can see this...

My wife and i went there last Sunday evening for the second time. We had a good meal ,again, with no complaints. The liver starter was truly wonderful and my chicken main (coq au vin)was very good and my wife had a great duck salad....

We’d travelled a long way over the last week and ate at some interesting restaurants from Dartmouth to London. Tonight we found ourselves staying a stone’s throw from the North Circular on Finchley Road. We wandered out as the snow began to fall and decided...

One Ashbourne is on my running route and I have wanted to try it since it opened. We ordered Popcorn chicken to share as a starter, it was perfectly cooked and had a nice spicy kick. The duck was also good, but needed more fruit...

This was my third visit to One Ashbourne, and it certainly didn't disappoint. They seem to be slowly refining things over time, which is a very good sign. Nothing disappointed, but the tuna ceviche was simply outstanding. Never had such an interestingly seasoned ceviche before.

We went on a Saturday night and it was busy - a good atmosphere. The food selection was excellent but was let down by the beef carpaccio which was frozen! It was changed quickly but was disappointing. Steak, duck breast and lamb ribs were all...

I was really impressed by One Ashbourne when it first opened, and am still so. Menu has a couple of new additions, I tried the Herb Crusted Lamb Fillet with Rosemary Potatoes & Tenderstem Broccoli, my companion had the Glazed Halibut with Black Rice. Both...

Whilst out on a walk, we stopped in for an early Tuesday evening dinner. We had not made a reservation, but they accommodated the 4 of us.......would not have been possible by the time we left, as the restaurant was full ! ( on a...

Very much enjoyed our meal hear. The steak was probably the best Kosher steak I have had in the UK. Lamb chops were also very tasty. Nice ambience, good service and very friendly restaurant manager, will go again,

Excellant service, tasty food and lovely ambiance. Highly recommended for business or pleasure. . Marc

I went One Ashbourne soon after it first opened. It was great. Clean, well maintained, nice menus, staff well turned out and above all, really good, originally prepared food, but expensive. Six months on, only my second visit, and the place is starting to look...

Lovely looking, airy & comfortable environment. Beef Carpaccio, Popcorn Chicken starters were well presented and of a high standard. Aged Rib Eye & Duck Fillet really exceptional. Lemon Tart & Chocolate Palet stood out amongst desserts.

The duck was out of this world! Amazing ribs to start and sensational food coming in the winter I hear. Well done chef!

Bread, olives and Jerusalem artichoke soup started the meal well, although my husband's chicken liver parfait was pedestrian. Then the mains and the sides came. My husband had pumpkin ravioli - he said the pasta was fine, but the filling tasted bland and from a...

my wife an I had dinner this evening and found it a most enjoyable experience. a first class kosher restaurant. we both had the duck as a main course and it was excellent. only negative note is that it is noisy but that is only...

From the moment we entered past a broken letterbox, everything in this restaurant was amateurish and badly managed. There was no “greeter”to show us to our table, so we had to find our friends, service was chaotic, food for the table did not arrive together...

Looking at all the 5 star reviews makes me wonder if there are two restaurants with the same name! Portions tiny and very expensive. Beef gyoza was bland and the meat dry. Service poor. Restaurant too noisy for conversation. I might try again in a...

Out party of four enjoyed a really wonderful evening here last night. Food is delicious - we had a selection of starters - all were terrific, especially the beef gyoza. My lamb chop mains was succulent and cooked to perfection. Service was attentive and the...

Went with our son and daughter-in-law on Sunday night. The restaurant was absolutely heaving and there was only one free table at 8pm. The Truffle Arancini starter was very good but my son pronounced the Chicken Liver Parfait superb but even so, was unable to...

What an excellent family friendly restaurant with very attentive, prompt and excellent service. Food quality very good indeed. I will revisit without doubt. We ordered quite a complex selection which was handled with aplomb by the staff. A special note - their children’s menu and...

Tonight we visited this restaurant. Ordered the burger as was told after that they had run out, so I chose the beef rib instead. All can quickly and looked good. I should have ordered a side with my beef but the waitress didn't offer me...

There is no doubt that this is a good addition to the London Kosher restaurant scene. The staff were very friendly and the menu offered a good range of diverse dishes. However the food was incredibly hit or miss. The chicken soup and chicken skewers...

I took my wife out for her birthday. Food was excellent, service was attentive and prompt. Only slight downside was the noise level was a little high, but that's probably just a symptom of its popularity. I would highly recommend it.

A delicious menu and wonderfully attentive and friendly staff. Everything was beautifully presented and it was obvious that a lot of thought has gone into the content, decor and atmosphere of this lovely new place. Have been waiting for this calbre of kosher restaurant for...

We had a great time. We were a family of 9 and we all really enjoyed our meal. There are very few 'fancy' kosher restaurants in the area and this restaurant surpassed all our expectations. The decor is beautiful, the menu is original and the...

Very enjoyable kosher meal with the family. Lamb Chops, Coq au Vin, Burger and Popcorn chicken all fantastic. Friendly, courteous service - and decent value for money. Would definitely recommend.

We suggested this new restaurant to 4 friends - 2 of whom were unable to make it - lucky them! What started badly got worse! 20 minutes before we were offered so much as a drink and a non existent gluten free menu leaving one...

We were a party of 5 all who enjoyed our delicious food which was very well presented. The restaurant decor itself is very well done and a pleasure to sit in. I shall be going again.
