The best restaurants in Hendon Barnet London

The food here used to be really good. I ordered a pizza last night and it came with not enough cheese on and nowhere near the quality it used to be. 4 in 1 is much better and significantly better value.

I love this place, the people and the food. Everytime I go here it always hits the spot to the point where I literally punch the air mid meal.

A nice Israeli style meal. Good value. Even though there are a number of vegetarian dishes I think that NOT having a proper vegetarian main course is a poor show in this day and age (hence you dropped a star in my review). This isn't a difficult ask, especially for a restaurant so come one add something great, suitable for vegetarians to your menu, ideally two dishes so us veggies can actually have a choice. My wife loves her meat but feels guilty watching me eat bits and pieces. Don't buy in Tival stuff as your veggie choice, make something from scratch which is original and only available at your place. A number of your competitors already have veggie dishes, so why not 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.

Excellent staff and amazing service I am very picky when it comes to my coffee and they always make exactly what I want ( I like my flat white with three full shots or cappuccino shots)

Been there a few times for take away. The chicken soup & chopped liver were both excellent and the staff were always smiling and very helpful.

This place is weird.. the main shop is a soulless cave with overpriced bakery food. There's tables but it's not a nice environment, like being in an airport hanger at a small airfield. However next door is an amazing kiosk that does the best falafel ever.. a huge amount of fresh sides, good value for money etc and you can take the food into the the main area. Tbh I'm not Jewish and my Jewish friends tell me the challa bread (apologies if I've spelt this wrong) is excellent. I know they travel quite a way for it, so it must be good.

Food was amazing, not oily like some indian restaurant, I like the new menu with indian street food, try somosa chat so nice

Amazing pub had to take my pup to the vets just round the corner unfortunately dogs aren't allowed in the pub but are allowed out side in the seating area ♡ they've made me and my pup feel very welcome a lovely blonde Irish lady looked after us

Lovely place with great service and the owner is super friendly! Needless to say this is a great sport for dog owners as it's very dog-friendly

Great choice of healthy selection

Elevated burgers and sides with plenty of vegan options AND options for your 4 legged friend. Specialising in Frozen custard..need I say more.

Trevligt bemötande, snabb service och bra mat. Lagom stor pub med bra utbud av glutenfri på menyn. Puben hade tappat bort vår reservation men Simon fixade det galant.

Este ha sido nuestro restaurante de lácteos kosher favorito en Londres. Tomamos el viaje subterráneo durante 40 minutos para llegar hasta allí y encontramos el restaurante cerrado. Le preguntamos a alguien en una tienda de al lado y nos dijeron que habían salido del negocio hace aproximadamente un mes. Habíamos estado viniendo a este restaurante en la ubicación anterior durante muchos años.

Absolutamente increíble comida con sabores ricos y auténticos! El biryani estaba perfectamente condimentado, los kebabs eran jugosos y el naan era fresco y esponjoso. Excelente servicio y un ambiente cálido y acogedor. Una visita obligada para cualquiera que desee la cocina pakistaní real!
