Vanini in Barnet

Great place but now closed. It was Turkish food at good value at a clean, hygienic establishment. Spacious with good ambience. It is a pity the owner sold out and it is no longer

Great place, friendly service, tasty food... All round excellent. Last visit Mon eve with friends. Great!

Lovely attentive service by young lad. Clean and calm atmosphere with Turkish music playing in the background bringing authentic feel. Accessible by wheelchairs. Toilets Food; Lentil soup, overly salty, something was very off with it. Left it and thought to give a go to main. Ordered Sarma beyti with lamb, as soon as the plate was arriving I just picked a weird smell, didn’t want to believe my senses and I tucked in but was very disappointed, red souse was orange, overloaded with yogurt that seemed to be out of date and meat was just lacking any Turkish seasoning, overly chewy… I was disappointed and nothing prepared me for the next thing when my friend scooped out long hair from cacik… Waiter kindly offered to exchanged cacik, I’ve immediately asked for the bill, he saw we haven’t eaten our meals, we’ve paid and left. Note: no salad (price paid separately) and only one pitta bread given to be shared between two people. Soup: no olives, no turp, no sumak seasoning available… I was expecting 4.7 rating as per Google reviews. I would like to offer my services to this place and let’s do revamp!

I have reviewed before but last Sunday we had a large table of 9. Once again the service was excellent, we weren’t hurried, and I think the food was better. I had the chicken Shichlik and the chicken was tender. Portions are always large, Turkish delight and Baklava gratis at the end of the meal. Restaurants come and go but the good ones stay and they have been here a long time. Good for take away and eat in.

Great clean fresh,favourite are the custard natas? Knock nandos ones for six. Lots in the freezer you just can't find on the high street,proper little taste of Portugal.
