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

Really lovely food, best burger I've eaten since moving to London a year ago! I normally drown my food in mayonaise and didn't even bother as there was so much flavour in the food it wasn't necessary. Look forward to next time!

Wow!!! Just wowww!!! The food was incredible and I must say has improved alot since I last went there a few months ago. My favorite were the nacho and buttermilk fried burgers, I couldn't chose between the two. I did try a bit of the double decker and it was delicious as well. The chicken cheese fries were a MUST TRY for everyone. And pls DO NOT LEAVE B4 trying the mocha and butter peacan milkshakes.

Made an order for the mega family platter today which included 2 whole chicken, wings and chips. This was by far one of the best grill chicken we’ve had, the whole family enjoyed it very much and we will be ordering very soon again. Chicken was juicy, flavoursome and the whole order came nice and hot. Thank you

This amazing burger shop took customers reviews into perspective. I used to order a grilled burger with an extra patty to get the best of both worlds in one burger and usually it would cost a bit but to see it now on the menu with a great price is special to see. I feel like I can call it my burger. Come check out “THE BOSS BURGER”

One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to, ordered the seafood spaghetti topped up with parmesan cheese. Great food experience.

Had an amazing dinner. The owners are super nice and very friendly. The Caprese was amazing and fresh. The Spaghetti Bolugnese was amazing and it felt like I was back in Italy. Hope if you have time I would hope in and try it. Before I go home I want to try the pizza next. Update: I went back and and ate here another 4 times. I love this place and the people that run it are amazing.

Staffs are welcoming as usual. Calamari is fresh! Last time I tried their pasta, lasagna was wonderful. This time I tried their pizzas, good varieties to choose from. Savoury ones are better than desserts in my opinion

My son and I walked in for an early dinner. We were greeted by lovely Adeena who very kindly offered us a table close to a heater as we had walked in from the freezing cold. She and her colleagues gave wonderful service. Food arrived quickly. The bread and sauces came promptly- delicious warm tasty bread . I am not a fan of the Turkish pepper sauce but this one was rather good. We had tasty borek. Both of us love aubergine and were slightly disappointed with the portion size but no complaints about the taste. Son asked regarding portion size of sea bass and was delighted that it was more than adequate. The request to swap mash for bulgar was accommodated too. My mixed shish was tender and flavourful. We also took home Adana kofte for husband who couldn’t join us unfortunately. I must say even though it was an hour later that he ate it, the dish was fabulous! And I have to say the table lights were great: no flickering led candles here! Overall a great meal out.

The quality of food was really good and the service by Tara was excellent. We do eat out alot and know quite a few Turkish restaurants in the area, but do recommend this place for sure. We will start coming here more often. Slightly salty for our taste but Heads up to the chef.

We love this restaurant, it's our regular local. The ambiance is beautiful. Staff are super friendly😊. The Ginger Cooler cocktail is one of the most delicious we have had.😋😋 Well presented and delicious food... Take all our overseas guests there as a must... Look forward to my next visit soon.

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.

Decent food and decent service! I just didn’t like how sloppy the waiters are, one of them dropped the whole PDQ on us. The waiter also dropped some food on my brother which was frustrating. The food was good though

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.

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.

What a lovely pub. Wood panelled and worn leather chairs and benches throughout. Great choice of beers, draughts even two gluten free beers. You can see it’s full of warm and friendly locals/regulars and has a very welcoming vibe. Separate sports bar with a pool table and a huge projector to watch your rugby/footy etc.

Nice local pub with good beer and great Thai restaurant upstairs. Good selection of beers on tap, new heated sitting area outside, but main star is the restaurant. We had a lovely dinner during 10pm covid closing times and came at 8, but received great service and had plenty of time to order and enjoy the food. It is hard for me to find authentic thai food locally, but this one hits the spot, especially the Panang curry was delicious. Only dissapointing dish was my favourite Tom Yum. Will be coming back!

Always liked the Elephant. Have been coming here off and on for 20 years and two things have consistently stood out; quality of the beer, which is well kept and of a decent temperature and the quality of the well priced Thai food.

We came here for a family meal in a large group of about 20. They had plenty of room for other guests Nd there is free on street parking nearby in the evening. The food we ordered was generally very tasty and all of it was freshly made. We had a lovely time and will visit again soon. There were plenty of vegetarian options as we are all vegetarian but we manged to order such a variety of items including Bruschetta, Pasta, Pizza, Gnocchi

Nice place and decently sized portions. Food is lovely and flavourful with loads of different choices The aranchini would have been better with some sort of tomato sauce but was tasty nonetheless. The linguine with artichokes and a pesto cream sauce is definitely worth the try as this was especially nice! Service is good and the waiters are all very nice and friendly!

I just wanted to say a BIG thank you to Arthur and his amazing team! We went as a group of 40 after our play in ArtsDepot plus many of the audience so full restaurant! Great service considering the numbers! The food was amazing and the staff are so much fun, polite and friendly. Thank you guys for the wonderful night! We will definitely be back!

Nice and spacious, great food! We had grill and Mediterranean menu. Wonderful service by Aisha and Amet. Not forgetting good mix of Music.

Incredible experience. The food was just yummy, absolutely delicious and very well cooked. Beautiful looking restaurant inside and very lovely decorated. The service was one of the best I have recieved, very attentive and polite. What more can I say except excellent with a capital "E" and will certainly be visiting again, when I'm hungry again as I'm absolutely stuffed right now having 2 deserts which i simply couldnt resist as they too were sooo yummy 🥰 😋

Food was really tasty. Venue itself was great and staff were lovely. Only aspect that did disappoint me a little bit was the portion sizes. Ordered the Mediterranean breakfast which only came with 1 egg 1 sausage 1 fried potato thingy. Which is a bit deflating. I haven't ordered a £14 breakfast and got only 1 egg ever. Everything was tasty tho just wanted a bit more !

The best restaurant I have been for a long time I have met the owner who I have known for thirty years, the food was outstanding. With a very warm atmosphere shall be going again. Went back today and left even more impressed as were my family The restaurant has a new owner and he and his staff have turned the menu and place around the food is even better than before, better ingredients are being used nice table cloths and linen napkins also a nice ambience and great music in the back ground.

This restaurant has been my top choice since 2022. It's the place where I celebrate my birthdays, including my son's first birthday this year. Even with the new management, my family and I still love it. Everyone at the party was thoroughly impressed with the food and service. The staff stayed close to ensure everything was amazing. Everything is fresh and full of flavor. I often place takeout orders when I don’t have time to dine in. The manager has known us for a long time, and he and his team are absolutely wonderful; they often treat us to free shots! The restaurant is spacious and clean, featuring a large dining area. Another great aspect is their ability to accommodate large groups, whether seated at one table or spread out over a few.

My guest and I found this restaurant to be perfect for a relaxed dine-in experience for the following occasions: solo dine in, couples dine in/date night and small group gatherings. The staff were friendly and charismatic and the quality of the Pizza met our high expectations with ease. The music was tasteful, not too loud and created a relaxed atmosphere which allowed us to enjoy good food in peace. It was my first time here and I can confirm that this restaurant is worth another visit. I look forward to dining here again and sharing the experience San Giorgio offers with more friends/family.

An outstanding dining experience! The food was exceptional, the service impeccable, and the atmosphere truly delightful. A special thanks to Mr. Paulo for his warm welcome and remarkable expertise in food and beverages, which elevated the entire experience. Looking forward to returning!

The staff were super friendly. Gave good recommendations and were accommodating for our requests. The food was all very good. Nothing came out different to how it was presented in the menu. It was filling with great flavour. The music and vibe of the restaurant was lovely. Nice lighting and set the tone for a great meal. I went in a 3, spent 30£ each and left satisfied. Would recommend

I went with my partner and her friend quite late in the evening and by this point the kitchen just closed however they very kindly made the exception for us to come in and eat. The staff were all absolutely amazing and some of the friendliest and understanding people I've ever met when going out to eat. They made us feel so welcomed despite it being our fault for being late. The food came out so quickly and was nice and hot. All dishes we ordered were delicious as well as the portion size being amazing. At the end as well, to my surprise the bill was far cheaper than I expected to pay. I live just under and hour away from this restaurant however I am definitely planning on coming back soon to such an all round amazing experience. Thank you for all the staff who made the great experience for us all. I would recommend this place highly to anyone.

Honestly everything about this place is amazing. The quality of the service and food is fantastic. It’s our second time visiting in the span of two week and we even got it delivered in between that!!

Superb! This is truly authentic Japanese cuisine with a great food and very warm and helpful, attentive staffs. We went on a family lunch and were astonished by the staffs in helping my baby (1.5 yo) settled in and enjoyed her food. I liked Teriyaki Salmon bento box and udon the most, the food reached at our table quickly and well-presented. Definitely will come back again! And the chef was approaching us to ask for our experience directly, which is a plus!
