The best restaurants serving Greek food in Barnet London

I had a meal here for my birthday this weekend, food was amazing and they really made my group feel comfortable

Overall a lovely evening and I couldn’t ask for more

On the early afternoon of Sunday the 8 September 2024, I went to The Classic Greek restaurant, at 1366 High Rd, Whetstone, London N20 9HJ. As I walked into the empty restaurant, and unknown to me, the staff were sitting out side enjoying the sun. It was over minute before any of them came to take my order. I ordered a Lamb Giros £7.20p. The assistant gave a small portion of chips to sample, while my order was being prepared. The chips were very nice but a bit salty. The assistant took some chips for my meal from the same pot as the sample ones they gave me, and puts them in a fryer, but unnecessary ads more salt to the chips, and starts to grill seven small Cubes of Lamb. When the Lamb Cubes were ready, the assistant gets a thick round type of wrap and covers it in Tzatziki, ads the seven small Cubes of Lamb, Green Leave,Tomato and Onions. I requested that the assistant put some salt over my Salad & Lamb Cubes. It beggars believe what the assistant did next. They took my wrap, and instead of putting salt over my Salad and Cubes of Lamb, the assistant puts the chips all over every thing and then drowns the already over salted chips in salt. I asked the assistant have they got any lemon juice, I’m told only a slice lemon and I assumed the assistant were going to put the slice of lemon in my wrapped up meal. I get to my car and start to eat my Greek meal. There no slice of lemon in the food wrapping. The chips were so salty, they were unpleasant to eat. There was no salt on the lamb and the salad. Five piece of the lamb cubs were uneatable, as they were grisly and rubbery! I through them out for the birds. All in All, this was the worst Greek meal I have ever eaten! I'm afraid this is the classic case of, The Classic Greek restaurant, that will be going out of business sooner than later!

I have been here a few times now and the chip are constantly undercooked and portions are very small. Considering how expensive this place is compared to the previous owners you would expect the cooks to at least be cooked. Won't be coming back, did hope maybe it was a one off but obviously not.

Food is ok, ambiance is chill and kids friendly, however the waitres could learn hospitality mannerism. We ordered grapefruit juice and she served a drink with a lemon flavoured label, we pointed it out, and she replied “ can’t you read arabic or hebrew? It’s says grapefruit in there!” So rude, I’m hoping this feedback is helpful for the management.

I’m going to rate Uncle Tony five stars and here’s the main reason. Food quality and cleanliness ands lovely friendly staff. It’s a family business and they take enormous pride in giving their customers the best. These guys don’t substitute cheaper quality for making more profit either. I spoke to the owner and they run the place like a five star restaurant. The place is always busy and even has live music on specific days so ask. The atmosphere is like being in Greece with the blue and white like a scene from Santorini and they also have a back garden so you can sit outside. Not a lot of customers will know this. The owner is a really nice guy as well. Super friendly and he runs the place with his wife’s they run it like a well oiled machine. Is recommend this place.

The staff was friendly (Julie was lovely!) The restaurant is well decorated and has a lovely ambience. The restaurant was warm and cozy. The food was beautiful and presented on slates which looks great! My son who is 10 really enjoyed his meal and my mom and dad had a great time! We have been there twice in 2 weeks! What beautiful people and beautiful restaurant!

Opção muito boa para quem gosta da comida do mediterrâneo. Restaurante bonito e comida boa. As porções são amenas para 1 pessoa. A salada grega típic é uma ótima pedida.
