The best restaurants in Barnet London

What a great pub , reasonable prices , friendly staff, live music on certain days and has a great atmosphere

We have been going there since it first opened. The food is delicious and always consistent. Last few years is our favourite take away food. Always arrives warm and tastes as good as eating there.

Today 29.01.25 ladi at coffie shop (dark blonde hair) was absolutely rude !!!! Never back again She comments my order on front of me in rude way Other lady dark hair was ok but that blond was terrible I ask for not too hot coffie she give me very hot coffee!!! But her comments never forget!

A great place to have some coffee and work. Cappuccino is a must try!

The Food is beautifully prepared and all lovely fresh ingredients. I have had 2-3 dishes in the last two weeks and very satisfied overall. The tuna toasted sandwich was especially delicious with thin roasted peppers and salad giving lots of flavour. However, please may I just request that the Hollandaise has some more flavour added - Thank you.

I have a friend whom I meet occasionally when he comes to London. He eats at kosher restaurants and on such occasions, he and I used to go to the White Fish restaurant in Hendon – excellent menu, tasty food, well presented; great atmosphere too - there was a ‘buzz’ about the place. Last night, we were disappointed to find that it was closed and even more so when it looked as though it had gone for good. (I only hope that I was wrong.) Its satellite branch opposite – the White House Express - was open though. I had been there before occasionally and it was fine, though without the wide-ranging exotic menu of the main branch opposite. We decided to go there instead – BIG MISTAKE!!! From the outset, the reception was ‘functional’ rather than cordial. We were seated at a table, on which there were a couple of battered menus that had seen better days. The choice was very limited – great if you liked chicken or hamburgers but tough luck if you wanted anything like the comprehensive choice of the White Fish restaurant opposite. I ordered the famous Yemenite Soup – a flagship item at the main branch – and shwarma as a main course. The choice of side dishes was minuscule; mainly just rice, mashed potatoes or chips – just the thing you’d expect at a middle-eastern type restaurant!!! I ordered the shwarma with trepidation as it is normally pared down from a vertical rotating roasting spit and there was no sign of it in the normal place behind the counter. When the soup arrived, it was only slightly warm – not hot. It had to be sent back to be heated up. Then the shwarma arrived. It too was not hot – only slightly warm – but I didn’t want to make a fuss so I started eating it. It had clearly been re-heated (or re-warmed, to be more accurate) and it tasted awful – scraps of meat dating from who knows when. I had ordered rice and mashed potatoes (faux de mieux) and the portions were generous, each of them presented in soup bowls. The rice was just boiled, with no additional flavourings and the mashed potatoes brought back resonances of school dinners. I left most of the food and when we got the bill, there was an optional service charge added; we told the waiter that we opted not to pay it and he looked shocked and said that he had to take the bill back to amend it. At this point, I would expect the matter to be reported to the manager, who would come to speak to us and ask why we were dissatisfied. None of that – and in any case there was no sign there of anyone resembling a manager. So the waiter brought back the amended bill and we paid. I felt really sorry for him as the service had been average, not excellent. I told him that it wasn’t his fault; it was the poor quality of the food. Then he suddenly became professional – he apologised profusely, said that we should have told him earlier, and hoped that next time we ate there things would be better! Dream on. There’s no chance that we would go back there, first because of the poor selection on the menu, but also because I had a feeling that there wouldn’t be any opportunity to go back. It will be a couple of months before my friend would be returning to London and, with the White Fish flagship having sunk, I don’t think the lifeboat will last very long. Hendon and Golders Green are chockful of kosher restaurants and, much closer to my and my friend’s home, there’s always the Met Su Yan kosher Chinese restaurant in Edgware – outstanding in every way.

Absolutely disappointed. I ordered a pizza from Domino’s and bit into olive pits—not just one, but multiple. It could’ve chipped a tooth. When I called to let them know, the guy casually said, “Bring it back, I’ll give you another one. It happens.” Seriously? This isn’t some minor mistake—it’s a safety hazard. The attitude was just as bad as the quality control. No real apology, no urgency. Just a shrug like this is a normal part of the experience. Definitely not ordering from here again. Wouldn’t waste my money on this branch.

Good food and compared to others it was good value for money.

Great sized meals. Good selection of food to choose from.

New dish - Sukiyaku. To be honest it was more akin to Shabu Shabu. However we'll worth trying while it is available. Good value at £9.99p. Makes a nice change from Sushi & Sashimi.

I went at 11 am last week on Sunday and was closed. I traveled about 40 min .. that s not nice. They need to update the days and the hours

Disgusting hygiene standards! Was given a glass and spoon that STUNK as in it literally smelt like mouldy food like it hadn’t been washed for ages! Paid nearly £10 for a hot drink I couldn’t even drink! And the staff member on tills Yarinna was extremely rude! Do better Costa! Never going back here again!

Estoy comiendo en este restaurante por unos años esta vez fue la peor época Camarero poco profesional y la llama Joun hacía frío

My go to Costa every day...Love their cappuccino
