Yildiz Restaurant - (Near Barnet, london)

Thai Hoang The food absolutely slaps, highly light of my meal was for sure the scallops! I could have ordered a dozen of those to chow down on. Least favourite was the pork spring rolls as they were a bit try but with the sauce and fresh herbs it was tasty. Beef Pho was on point and the broth was soothing and hearty, just what I needed after a hectic weekend! Service was somewhat lacking as I struggled to get anyone’s attention to pay my bill and instead had to walk up to the counter after waiting for sometime. However…. I will be back to try more of the menu!

Paul Pandek Food was excellent, fresh and full of flavour. The fried chicken was crispy and well cooked. Service was good and the place had a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Overall a very enjoyable visit and definitely worth coming back.

George G This is a great place if you’re looking for somewhere that has a bit of everything. They offer excellent coffee, as well as non-coffee options like iced matcha and fresh teas. There are also cocktails, winter warmers like mulled wine, and homemade drinks such as house lemonade or fresh orange juice. They also serve wines and beers. You can enjoy breakfast or lunch from their eat-in menu, or grab counter treats to have with a drink, like a house-made cinnamon bun, Guinness cake, or warm banana bread. It’s a pretty busy place, with funky music turned up for a lively, buzzing vibe. There’s also an outdoor area, perfect for warm weather, and toilets are available. The café is within walking distance of Finsbury Park station. When I visited, I was served straight away, though I’ve passed by on a Saturday when the queues can be long.

Favour Godwin It was my first time visiting the restaurant, we went on a Sunday around 1.30pm. We were there for brunch and was served by Pedo, he was great and made sure our experience was enjoyable. The food selection in the menu is great, the price is affordable, the portion sizes are really good. The food is fresh and came out hot. Everyone was pleased with what they got. Overall it was a good experience, because of the time we went we made reservations as it gets very busy around lunch time, however they try their best to accept walk-ins. The only area to improve on would be their online booking system and contact. The number on the webpage at the time of me attending the restaurant didn’t work (13.04.25) I was not sent a confirmation for my booking and there was no way of me amending my booking so I had to make several bookings when my circumstances changed. If there was a smoother online booking system that would be perfect. But I’d still give them a 5* rating as that didn’t take away from the experience. The restaurant is great for casual dining. We had a great time and will definitely be back. I’d gladly recommend this place to any and everyone.

Andrea Charles I’m a regular customer at firedog Cockfosters for the reasons that the menu is varied and the food is consistently of high quality. The staff (Andrea, Nick and Seren) are always friendly, which creates a lovely ambience. Chrissy the barista is especially welcoming and makes a great coffee! X

Julian Justin Food in this place has always been epic. Had asparagus prawns, brocoli prawns and volcano chicken with noodles and rice to share. A few espresso martinis and it was worth every bite. Highly recommend to anyone. Decor could do with a face lift but the food is unmatched and the service is second to none
