The best restaurants serving Default food in Hendon Barnet London

Got my pizza in under a minute, and it was pretty good!

order did not come so had to request a refund

We walked in here as another restaurant where we had reserved had attempted to squash us between other diners. The first thing I noticed was the friendliness of the staff, they were lovely and helpful. The service was a bit slow but the food was great, definitely will be back. I can't believe we've never actually been in there. Always done a takeaway.

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.

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

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.

Great choice of healthy selection

I been living in hendon all my life , Regent’s Park road, been Kipling long time, enjoyed our meal food was very nice, new owners added. New dishes from India

La sala de actos de arriba es un gran lugar. Tuvimos una fiesta familiar, y el detalle que Finbar puso para que fuera un día especial fue brillante. El personal era eficiente y amable y nada era demasiado problema. La comida era sabrosa y todo el día fue brillante! Recomiendo encarecidamente la sala de actos si necesita una fiesta!

Nice atmosphere and lots of different rooms. Went in with a crowd of people and was plenty of room. Though quite busy. Food was okay but was a bit over down. Had jazz on when we were there.

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.

Bien, generalmente la comida estaba bien. Las mesas se sentían sucias, nihari era bastante acuoso, lo que es decepcionante. El camarero bastante grosero trajo una botella de agua tranquila que no pedí. Teniendo en cuenta que la factura era de casi 50 libras, esta pequeña estafa de traer una botella de agua cuando no se ordena, solo para insistir en el pago si me atrevía a tocarlo y como bastante mal sabor. Si pudiera dar un consejo, limpiar las mesas, ordenar su nihari y al servidor joven, crecer! Tal vez aprender algo de etiqueta de cliente, estoy tan contento de no dejar una propina. No volveré a este restaurante nunca más. Por último, cuando los clientes piden arrancadores, ¡no esperan que el principal salga al mismo tiempo! ¡Eso es absolutamente básico!
