E-Mono - (Near Barnet, london)

5 /5 Jai Patel: This place is phenomenal. Really reasonably priced food that’s fresh and tastes incredible. If you’re trying to grab some impeccable food but limited on time you have to come here. The meat was so tender and fresh off the grill, and the rice, sauce and salad paired perfectly.

4 /5 seth bradley: Very good mixed shawarma. The lamb was full of flavour and the fat had been well rendered. The chicken was crispy on the outside and still juicy on the other. Fresh salad with sauce makes for a winning combination. Price wise it represents good value for money and the warp is large so come hungry. Recommended

5 /5 Kuya Gee: Tasty, affordable, very well made food. Good sized portions. Great service, very friendly staff. Hidden gem.

5 /5 E tiza: Absolutely delicious! The lamb wrap was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the shish and hummus were spot-on. A definite must-try for anyone who loves great food. The staff were extremely friendly and cooperative—special thanks to Muhammad and Sanju for their excellent service. Highly recommended!

1 /5 Andy James: I’ve been coming to this kebab shop for years, back when the older gentleman was behind the counter. He was always warm, smiling, and clearly put his heart into the place. You could tell he cared and the food reflected that. The kebabs were absolutely spectacular. I’m pretty sure they even had a glowing review from Giles Coren on display at one point. Sadly, my visit last night couldn’t have been more different. It was honestly the worst chicken kebab I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot of kebabs. The chicken came as dry little shards of meat, completely bland and lacking any real flavour. I asked for just a little chilli sauce and no garlic sauce. It didn’t arrive drowning in garlic sauce, but there was still a small amount in there and it honestly felt like that’s what they now rely on to give the meat any flavour at all. The salad was equally disappointing — mostly strips of onion, no cucumber, about two thin slivers of tomato, and oddly, some gherkin thrown in. It just felt careless and thrown together. I hadn’t been in a while, and I can’t help wondering if things have changed since the older gentleman stopped working there. The two guys serving looked thoroughly miserable. I know it’s not an easy job, but in all the years I visited before, I never once saw the old owner without a smile. He was friendly, kind, and consistently produced amazing food. This was one of the most disappointing food experiences I’ve had in a long time. I genuinely hope they can turn it around for the sake of the place’s former reputation.
