Definitely the best Persian restaurant in London. Authentic, fresh, and served with a smile. Extremely succulent, delicious Koobideh kebabs and the best Ash-e-reshte soup in town. Also loved the Salad Olivieh and Kashk e Bademjan. This is the place to go for true Iranian hospitality.

I have never been here before but they were super welcoming, even eating by myself and i had an enjoyable time. I loved the Persian tea, first time trying. They gave me a complimentary dessert extremely lovely of them. Good big portions on the food.

The House Restaurant
24 Ballards Ln, London N3 2BJ, UK | Italian Restaurant P: 020 8371 6644
Rating: 4.8 (410) Price Level:
I recently had the pleasure of dining at The House one late night in Finchley, and it exceeded all expectations. The Chicken Caesar Salad was a standout, with tender, perfectly grilled chicken and fresh, fresh lettuce, topped off with just the right amount of creamy dressing and parmesan. A deliciously satisfying dish! We also tried the Penne Pomodoro, which was a simple yet flavorful classic. The pasta was cooked to perfection with a rich, tangy tomato sauce that tasted fresh and authentic. It was a comforting dish that was hard to resist. The atmosphere at The House added to the experience, with a relaxed vibe with the music creating a welcoming environment. The staff were equally lovely—friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about providing great service. Overall, I highly recommend The House Finchley for a casual yet delicious dining experience.

Such cosy, lovely place with great tasting Italian food and absolutely amazing stuff. The waitress is incredibly attentive and anticipating our every need but in non-intrusive way. We were impressed. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. We definitely will be visiting again soon.

Beautiful dinner on Valentine's day. The staff was ultra friendly! The ambiance was very dim and romantic. The food was really flavorful. Pasta was seasoned right and the pizza was actually really tasteful. Oh yeah we also had zucchini sticks which were sooo good. Will definitely come back here again.

A lovely restaurant with a relaxing atmosphere. The service was excellent and Sam was great. Delicious food. Would highly recommend and return again. The only criticism is that the wine is a little pricey.

I recently visited this lovely Turkish restaurant with my wife, and it was truly an exceptional experience. The atmosphere was inviting and comfortable, making us feel right at home. The food was incredibly fresh, bursting with authentic flavors that really set this place apart. The standout, however, was the service. The staff was wonderfully polite, attentive, and went out of their way to make sure everything was just right throughout our meal. Having been to many Turkish restaurants, I can confidently say this one has something unique. It exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience – we will definitely be returning!

I tried this Turkish restaurant Alaz yesterday, and it was truly one of the best Turkish restaurants I've tried in the N3 area! The ambiance was calm and soothing, with beautiful decor. The restaurant was clean, including the hygienic toilets. I also appreciated the well-thought-out color scheme and beautiful ceiling. Music 🎶 in the background added to its beauty Our servers, two lovely ladies, were exceptionally polite, friendly, and efficient. Their excellent service was a definite plus! The food was delicious and tasty. I highly recommend it 👌 👍
Rating: 5 / 5
The service here is quite slow but the atmosphere is warm, cosy and good. Good food serves here. Portions are very big and more than enough. Hey bring a bucket of bread with garlic mayo and chilli sauce. I ordered a lahmacun, they cut it out into slices, which I didn’t like. The bread base is not crispy. It is soft and chewy. The grilled mixed fish for main is a good sea food combination. It serves with salad and mashed potato. The only problem is that, mashed potato was coooold, very cold. It would have been better served hot with the grilled fish. Lamb Shish was good too. Came with rice and salad. The meat was slightly burnt but still delicious. Cacik (cucumber and yogurt) here was not the one, I’d liked. It was very garlicky, the paprika on top was also not my favourite but it’s good with bread. The bread serves hot and they garnish it with spice oil. Would have been better plain (my personal preference!!) You can drink tea after your dinner, they served a sutlaç (rice pudding) on the house for us. I don’t recommend the rice pudding as it wasn’t very tasteful. They bring lokum( Turkish delight) with tea which is quite refreshing too.

First time trying Turkish food and it was absolutely delicious. Hani’s service was spectacular and, me and my party felt taken care off. The location is beautiful and the atmosphere is out of this world. Would recommend to anyone wanting to try out Turkish food.

Nawroz Lounge is one of our favourite places to go. The food is so delicious- one of the best falafels in London, maybe even the best! The staff are all absolutely lovely and welcoming and they remember us from previous visits. Highly recommend!

Fresh, delicious, homemade breads. With a lamb wrap at £6 it is really hard to beat. Falafel and hummus were excellent as well. Great spot. Pudding Iranian Ice Cream and pastries from the Ballards Lane shops.

Hands down, the best shawarma I have EVER had! The people working here are the kindest and they put a lot of care into what they give you. I bring all my friends here. You couldn't do better if you went to Kurdistan itself.
Rating: 5 / 5
Came here to get Shisha put ended up getting the food instead. What can I say, when you walk in it looks like a standard takeaway but the chicken sharwarma was definitely not standard. The chicken itself was so juicy and tasty with fresh salad. The bread (naan) is freshly made in-front your you. The nan itself is very tasty, not too thick and crispy on the ends just how I like my nan to be. And for the prices what can I say-that this place truly value their customers money. See you soon in Ramadan!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO LOVERS OF INDIAN FOOD. THIS IS FOR SURE ONE OF THE BEST PLACES IN LONDON TO TASTE THE TRUE FLAVOURS OF INDIA - WITH A MODERN TOUCH. A GREAT EXPERIENCE!

We ate so fast. The food is so so so so so damn good. Super flavourful, good portion sizes. Plates were all *demolished*. Hard to pick a favourite dish, just the whole menu is chef's kiss. The cocktails are also fantastic. We had an amazing experience here.
Rating: 5 / 5
Another fantastic experience dining at Bonoo! We first came here last year for our anniversary. We enjoyed it so much that we came back a second time. We live in Canada and it’s worth trekking here regardless of where we are staying in London. We have even recommended it to our local friends and came here with a couple of them this time round. This will definitely be our go to every time we’re in town! The food and service are outstanding!

So Indian food can be a bit different across the Atlantic. I love the concept of Indian food as tapas because my friends can try different Indian dishes in one sitting. The quality of the food was amazing. The staff was attentive and courteous. The drinks, my god, generous pours and will make you salivate. Give this place a visit and if you're American, have your taste buds blown away.

Great restaurant with very friendly staff. The restaurant has a fair amount of seating too. In regards to the food I would say the aubergine starter we ordered did not live up to expectations. However the complimentary salad was delicious and the star of the show was definitely the koobideh, it very very juicy one of the best I have had. I will be coming back.

Today we went to Mother restaurant and I couldn't believe the food was so delicious. The staff were so friendly and polite. The atmosphere was relaxing. We did enjoy our meal.

My friend took me here as it's his favorite coffee shop and is now fast becoming mine too! The decor is warm and inviting, the owner is very hospitable, the coffee is fantastic, and the food is delicious and well-plated. I got the Halloumi Salad. It was light and refreshing, exactly what I needed after a heavy Christmas dinner. My friend got his go-to Garden Plate which looks absolutely scrumptious. Definitely coming back while I'm here in London!

I must say, the experience exceeded all of my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles from the incredibly friendly staff. The ambiance was inviting and spotless, which immediately put me at ease. The menu offered a fantastic variety of dishes, and everything I ordered was absolutely delicious. Each bite was a delight, showcasing the chef's attention to detail and dedication to quality. The flavors were well-balanced, and the presentation was beautiful—clearly, a lot of thought went into each plate. The service was impeccable as well. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and they made sure my experience was nothing short of perfect. It's rare to find a place that gets everything right, but Ta Va truly delivered on all fronts. I highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

Had a Sunday roast there recently. The service was excellent and the food was really tasty. It was very good value in that it included a desert. It was only let down by the lack of vegetables. On my plate there was only 2 thin slices of carrot and one piece of broccoli. This was the same experience all round the table .
Rating: 5 / 5
We needed somewhere for two adults, two kids and a dog to grab a bite to eat before travelling home after a busy day. We're so pleased we found the Malt and Hops! Very friendly welcome from all the lovely staff members and no problem bringing the dog in. Great menu with very reasonably priced options for both us and the kids. We all thought our food was delicious and the team were so attentive, always making sure that all was OK. The football was on which was great for our son. Really friendly atmosphere from the staff and the other customers, some were clearly regulars and we can see why. Thanks for being the perfect stop off, we will definitely be back next time we are in London :-)

This has always been on of my favourite pubs in North Finchley. Sadly was closed for about 7 years but I'm pleased to see that it's now reopened with a fresh new look. They have nice looking food selection now, but for me and my pals most important is great staff providing friendly genial service. New bosses are a really nice couple and entertained us difficult customers while we sampled all the new selection of spirits. Will be hassling them again soon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷 Have subsequently hassled them again a number of times, they have now opened a new look beer garden and outside bar which is a fantastic sun trap. Also there are regular Open Mic nights which are a lot of fun. Love this pub 😍😍😍 Was another great open mic yesterday 😍

I can’t recommend Durum Finchley Central enough! From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere made us feel right at home. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every detail of our experience was perfect. The food was absolutely incredible—everything was bursting with authentic Turkish flavors. We started with the fresh bread and salad, which was a delightful mix of fresh hummus, For the main course, the lamb and chicken kebabs were tender and seasoned to perfection, while the vegetarian options were equally delicious. The highlight of the meal was the baklava—crispy, sweet, and paired with a lovely cup of Turkish tea. It was the perfect way to end such a wonderful dining experience. If you’re looking for an authentic Turkish culinary experience, Durum is a must-visit.

Every time we come here the food is absolutely lovely and the service is just as brilliant. Had a takeaway and always offered a seat and some tea. Staff enjoy their work and the atmosphere is great.

I love Durum. I’ve been coming here for about 17 years. The standards never drop. The food is superb and beautifully presented by a very professional team. My particular favourite is the Aubergine Kebab but I’ve tasted everything on the menu and it’s all superb. It’s one of the most consistently excellent places I’ve been to and I’ll be coming back again and again for many years to come. Book a table now and enjoy every minute!!!
