The Salt Beef Bar in Barnet

Went there for take away. Did not give exactly what was asked for, went back a couple of times, but experience just got worse. I think they resent having to do anything. These people could not be more sour or unfriendly. The beef doesn't taste bad, but certainly not cooked with any kind of love. "For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread, that feeds but half man’s hunger." Kahlil Gibran

Proper heimisha food at its best, like you'd find in the old east end or at a downtown New York deli. Well priced, though pickled cucumber with your salt beef sandwich is extra. Just missing kishke, kugel and a range of different pickled cucumbers, and cans of cream soda. Service could be better, the workers are a bit miserable and look like they would rather be in a war zone. Really tasty and fresh though. I would definitely recommend a visit or two.

One of my strangest experiences in a restaurant. The whole staff were devoid of and personality or warmth. The restaurant is situated in a Jewish neighborhood along with a very Jewish orientated menu and Katz pictures on the wall and yet the owner and waitress say they are not serving kosher food, which maybe the case but it was unexpected. My feedback sounds harsh and I would say that if you don't mind the zombie like staff, then the beef is worth going for. It is beautifully cooked and tender. The mustard sauce is really hot but I liked that.

Used to be the finest salt beef in NW London. Since covid quality deteriorated as did the demeanour of the owner and staff. Horrible attitude. Had a meal there 21st and something was off (probably the coleslaw) and one of our party was very sick for 72 hours. It is a shame, I would not eat there again!

Amazing salt beef , sliced into perfection. Great coffee. Well done We will definitely come back , great service, 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Good quality Salt Beef. Well made Sandwiches and Latkes. Also Salads. Been going here for years and always good quality. Sandwiches are especially well made. Good bread. The mustard is made traditionally from the powder -like the old days. Service is professional and good.

I go to this restaurant every year since when I was leaving in London more than 10y ago. Last time was 3y ago and for some reason this time I found this place different than before, everything is changing and I was not feeling as before, for sure the quality is same but service and atmosphere changes and is not anymore one of my best place. (Unfortunately)

I go in to eat in this unassuming little cafe, every couple of months, as it's an hour away from my place - but well worth the visit. Delicious salt beef, and the tongue is also really good, as it is chopped liver. My Jewish aunt and uncle love it here, they always stock up on goodies to take home. Portions are generous on eat-in, so I'm not sure what to make of the comment below on the 'manager cheating on weight' in a home delivery.

I went here today and can’t fault anything! The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Best salt beef in London! I absolutely love it .I have lived in London since 1983 and just found you. You remind me of the delis in Northwest Baltimore where I grew up. It truly was like coming home- bread and all. Can we get you to open in Notting Hill? Let’s discuss

I ordered 200g Salt beef and 200g tongue. When the food arrived the portion looked small so got tempted to weight it out. Each was 160g!! Immediately called them and politely explained the situation but the manager was rude and aggressive, denied it and hanged up on me!

Always used to get salt beef sandwiches at Bloom’s in Golders Green and Whitechapel. The salt beef and latkes here are even better. I just love this place. Treat yourself!

Super moist flavourful salt beef in soft fluffy rye bread. Nice mustard, could have done with a bit more as well as some pickle but saw afterwards that pickles can be ordered as a side. We did order sides of latkes though that were super satisfying, crisp on the outside and fluffy and rich on the inside.

Excellent salt beef and soup!! Great service too! Best salt beef in London! Try kneidalach soup too.

A lovely cream cheese and salmon sandwich. Tasty latkas Friendly proprietor. Little gem of a salt beef bar.

I hadn’t been for a few years and still up to a high standard Very happy to get great salt beef and a good price and perfect service

I have always bought salt beef from this restaurant for years, with the previous owners and now this one. The quality is fantastic and never changes.

Having never tried a Salt Beef sandwich and was staying at the Holiday Inn, I popped in just about 15 minutes before they closed at 8:30pm. I ordered the Hot Salt Beef on Rye bread, with mustard, along with a warm Latkas (Potato pancake) &...

They keep the menu limited which has an upside, it means the few dishes they do serve they know how to do VERY well. They serve typical Jewish Deli sandwiches which are all tasty, I also highly recommend their crispy fresh Latkas. The only negative...

Had the hand sliced hot salt beef (American style deli corned beef) on rye. Loved the homemade mustard. Also the chicken matzah ball soup, yummy, specially on a cold day.

This establishment continues to be a firm local favourite. The previous owner retired some years ago, and the new proprietors have continued the high standards achieved. There is seating for about half a dozen customers, but the main trade is take-away. Th salt beef is...

It is always excellent here. Very tasty. Carved well. Is Salt Beef addictive? Latkas, Soups etc also very good. I live nearby and can be spontaneous when visiting here otherwise I would have to make a trip whatever the distance. What competitors does it have?...

For those of you who follow my reviews you will know that I have a passion for Salt Beef and indulge it regularly. I also said nothing compares in London to Brick Lane finest. Well that has changed. A small store in Temple Fortune I...

Next time I am in the area, I will call back as the food is good and I enjoyed it very much and is in easy walking distance of the hotel.

Out on a Stock collection drive from Hampshire, my sidekick and I wanted a proper salt beef sandwich. We stopped at a recommended point (Hummasbar) - toooo fancy schmansy. I Googled and up came this tiny gem. The meat was PERFECT, quite lean. It was...

Went for brunch, Started with Chicken Soup with dumplings,,,good, followed by a Salt Beef sandwich and a Tongue one,both with mustard and New Green cucumber and a latke. And here is where my "but" comes in. Both were ordered "on Rye Bread" but came on...

Oh the crispy melting latkes, spicy Chrane and tenderest salt beef. Potato salad thanks but do better myself. Jewish pitstop, brilliant and wanting to eat the rest of the menu

I have been scouting out Salt Beef sarnies in London for a while and gave this place a go. This place is the real deal and up there on the small list of genuine quality salt beef outlets. Reasonably priced and well sized. This is...

It turned out to be a slight disappointment as the bread was very unexciting and straight from the supermarket and there was too little mustard. We had to ask for gherkins which we then had. But sad to say it was not an engaged service...

We live in Bedfordshire & happily drive to The Salt Beef Bar as their Salt Beef sandwiches are always 100% superb. We have tried many other Salt Beef sellers but The Salt Beef Bar is far superior. En route we pass many other Salt Beef...

Small little quarter shop unit with the very best saltbeef sandwiches. Salads and soup to takeaway.Simple cafe style but tasty food!

Puzzling how a simple small choice / Menu can vary so much with each visit. This time the food was bland and rather tasteless which is a shame when on other occasions I have really rated it so another visit is needed to sample once...

After a four hour drive, we were in need of sustanance but didn't want to pay hotel restaurant prices. We came across this cafe / take away and we're met by friendly staff. From first appearances, you may want to walk past but the sandwiches...

I have been buying salt beef sandwiches from there for years, on white or rye bread depending on who is joining me for food. They definitely sell the best salt beef sandwiches in London. Also a few accesories such as potato latkes, cucumber

We have been buying salt beef from this store for years. They use Irish grass fed brisket slow cooked to perfection. also try their latkas and new green cucumbers. Open till late.

Not much to say - it's a very traditional joint, decor is basic, you won't find anything fancy on the menu but the salted beef is great. And that's good enough for me!

Perfectly cooked salt beef and best latkes ever! Keep going back You won't be disappointed And very nice manager/staff

I've been going to the place for over 20 years and it the taste and service has remained the same. The beef is cooked to perfection and has this silky texture to it, the mustard has a perfect kick to it and the pickle is...

The sandwich is a must, I have tried it last year and every time I visit london I have to visit Selfridges to eat the salt beef sandwich. They gave other sandwiches but this sandwich is hot.

If you like Salt Beef this is the place. Beckham makes you feel most welcome. Try the Chop Liver or the Bean & Barley soup, both are delicious. I prefer the salt beef with lutkas, as I do not enjoy the frozen chips. For side...

This is a small place, very inconspicuous, you could drive/walk past and not notice it, but it is well worth seeking out and popping inside. Fabulous salt beef and all the trimmings. Delicious.

Again and again we come back to this wonderful place to enjoy fresh salt beef, latkes and other delicacies. And now he makes Italian cappuccino as well.

I had a great time visiting this place for the first time since the revamp. As a long time customer from 20 years ago I appreciate the new aesthetics but also with a nod to the long tradition of salt beef. The manager Kevin was...

Great traditional salt beef , with cheaper prices then other competitors. But much better salt beef and rated as probably the best salt beef available in london

Very delicious salt beef sandwiches (on bialy or rye, rueben etc) with trimmings (sauerkraut, swiss cheese, gerkin) - all very delicious and enjoyed in the lively Selfridge's food hall area. Only downside: probably the most expensive such sandwich in all of London, thanks to the...

Many places do salt beef and latkes but no one does it like this tiny place in temple fortune. I would like to see spelt bread on their menu though.

I have tried all over the London this is the best simply delicious highly recommended Better than any high Street Restaurant.

Good traditional salt beef sandwiches are hard to find. This is consistently perfect beef, e.normous portions, good rye bread, lovely latkes. Chopped liver, egg & onion, new green csyucumber and all at a very good price. A treasure of a takeaway.

The salt beef and latkas are very good, similar to B&K in Edgeware. I would highly recommend getting a take away. The restaurant needs a renovation and a bit of life injected into it, it is clean however. The staff are not very friendly and...

Forget the faux-salt beef bars that bogusly turn up for those who don't know the real thing. This entirely unpretentious (and not feebily distressed or patronisingly formica-d, such as you find in Islington) outlet features the best salt beef sarnies,lutkes, and lokshen soups and puddings...

Quick - tasty - authentic! This little place is definitely worth a visit next time you're passing through Golders Green!

The tongue on rye sandwiches were very good, although a little judicious trimming of the outer layer would have been appreciated. Avoid the new green cucumbers; they were almost tasteless and a big disappointment. The salt beef was tender and tasty. Ask for it to...

The salt beef sandwiches on rye bread with a little mustard are the tastiest sandwich I've ever had! Also get a sweet pickle, and a latke. The chopped liver, egg and onion sandwiches are also absolutely lovely. The cafe doesn't look much from the outside...

This is a simple small salt beef café with a service counter and a few chairs and tables. The beef is very good as are the traditional support items. The owners are friendly. However the prices are far too high: £5.70 for a beef sandwich...

This small restaurant/take away on Monkville Parade Temple Fortune has recently changed ownership. It is still open 6 days a week & the new owners Beckham & Kim have introduced some new dishes which compliment the old menu. Long overdue!!! The Chopped Liver (best I...

|I absolutely agree with all the other reviews here. Food is excellent. SB sandwich is 'just right', Salt Beef has flavour and texture without chemicals and is delicious. Ate Salt Beef elsewhere this week and it was not the same. This place knows how to...

This is an establishment in our dear Temple Fortune. Oaks are a little slow, but all the flavour is there! Absolutely splendid

Amazing food..You don't get many places like this anymore and I dread the day they close or sell the place on.

The menu is small and simple Jewish style. The soups are very good, I had bean and barley which had lots of both. The salt beef and latka was also very good. The owners are friendly, service is fast but you are not rushed. A...

The best salt beef in London made lovingly by a sweet family for decades. You don't get many places like this anymore and I dread the day they close or sell the place on. The reason to come is for the salt beef, of course....

tiny intimate cafe with a tempting menu. Salt beef tender & tasty & latkes amazing. Really difficult to rate this little gem of a place. A must go.

Small little family run place with the best salt beef and latkas. Everything freshly made and tasty, feels like at home.

we grabbed a takeaway as our hotel did not have a restaurant this small shop/cafe was a great find the best hot salt beef in London freshly prepared sandwiches in fron of your eyes. A must if you are in the area

Really succulent, moist, tender beef. Really the best sandwich in the area and good value too. His lutkas, although oily (as I like them) really tasty! Thoroughly recommend this restaurant. Takeaway is ideal.

There are people who come from miles around to enjoy a salt beef sandwich here. I can see why, they are excellent. This place has no pretensions, just a simple cafe. The old boy and his family are all lovely and the food is wonderful.

Although this is only small and only open during the day this kosher style cafe serves the most amazing salt beef sandwiches and lockshen pudding I have tasted. I think they open every day except Friday. The cypriot owners are a delight and the guy...
