The Best Restaurants in East Finchley, Greater London, United Kingdom (2025)

My favourite Italian by far. A hidden gem or maybe not as it is supper popular. Amazing food, pizzas are the best in London, I have not found anywhere better except when in Rome. The Restaurant is cozy, relaxed and a good atmosphere. As for the service, the staff are brilliant and in particular Alina!!! Thank you for always taking care of us and providing a great experience!

We came last night, at 8 pm. My daughter and son-in-law, who live locally, recommended it. They were not wrong! Brilliant pizzas, pasta and meat dishes. The service was low key and extremely friendly(young Polish guy). My daughter ordered a sorbet, I think it was blood orange, out-of-this-world tasty!! The atmosphere was like a large family gathering, not quiet, but no too loud to have a decent conversation. Highly recommended!!!!

A quaint and lovely restaurant with amazing service and quality food. Bring your own wine or beer meant we could indulge more and explore the amazing menu. It is a small restaurant and as long as you are prepared for that you will have no problems. The size doesn't take away from how lovely the staff are and how amazing the food is. I will reccomend this restaurant to anyone who visits East Finchley - or indeed London!

This is a fantastic local family friendly, family run easy going affordable but still high standard Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant. Staff and great, food is great. No alcohol licence because of the their local restrictions but they will happily allow you to bring your own booze and there is a corner shop 30 yards away if you forget to bring from home.

Best family run , feelgood vibe I always entertain girlfriends and family , don't look elsewhere Genzo has you covered.

Very delicious food and lovely atmosphere.

Lovely fresh food and a good atmosphere will definitely go back. Can not fault genzo's tender beautifully cooked mix grill and fresh fish had a very nice starters as well. Recommending to all

I had a most lovely dinner, food was beyond good and staff was friendly and prompt with our orders. Highly recommend it!

The staff here truly cares about their guests. They were attentive, courteous, and polite. I love the vibe of this place! I want to give a special shoutout to Millie! She made me feel like VIP! 😎 I’m enjoying every visit there! Truly recommended.

Went there today for the first time to enjoy a Sunday roast, and so that my girlfriend could try it, because she never had. We ordered a mixed roast to share, which had chicken, beef and lamb. It was absolutely delicious, one of the best roasts I've had. I wish I knew the name of the very nice lady who waited on us, she was very patient with our questions and a very welcoming host.

Grill section offers great food. We tries lamb shish, lamb ribs and mixed platter. Red meat food was perfect but the chicken in the mixed platter which was chicken shish and wing was not tasty. The Adena kebab was great! We also ordered Ayran as a drink which was good. Before serving the food they will bring a salad, fresh bread and yogurt mixed with cucumbers on the house to every table which a great starter. BUT the rice is really bad! Really!! We didn’t order any, it was on the plate as a side. The first time that we went there staff was not that friendly, I am assuming because it was kinda late and they were tired because the second time that we went there they were good and friendly. There is also parking space available. I just didn’t like the atmosphere that much, not the restaurant’s fault, people were really load ! I couldn’t hear my husband talking to me and he was just sitting in front of me ! We went there on a Friday night.

Pretty great place for a satisfying meal that will leave you feeling full for hours. The portion sizes are HUGE, so do watch out for that. We got the veg mezze which came with a selection of dips and breads. The vegan kebab was disappointing, I was expecting soya or mock meat, but it was grilled vegetables which was a bit surprising for how popular vegan meats are. I would definitely say you can get full on just the starters and mezze themselves. The service was great, all the waiters were super attentive and helpful throughout ordering especially for me as I’m gluten free.

This place never fails me to indulge in such amazing food & Turkish tea! A must visit for small or large groups & I would definitely recommend this for families. We dined upstairs on a Friday evening & it was a good atmosphere, & enjoyable meal. Our drinks (mojitos x5), starters & mains came relatively very quickly. Food tasted fresh, & drinks were amazing. Only downfall was parking. As it is such a busy restaurant expanding on parking should be considered in the future. Also that they toilets are only upstairs, I do nothing think this is friendly for those who have additional physical needs. But saying this, the toilets are clean! That is so much appreciated in a restaurant. But other than that, the views from upstairs dining area is great. Always a good time here.

Was a bit noisy on Saturday night, but food / service was amazing! We were warm welcomed to sign even thinking it was super busy there, but waiters found a great table for us. As starter they brought bread, tatziki, and salad free of charge. Was delicious. Food was really great! Parking a bit small for this size of place but there is paid alternative option. In general it’s a great chain. Will recommend it!
