Patri Northfields - Indian Street Food Restaurant and Bar - (Near , london)

Bríg x My friend and I meet up regularly for a late lunch and Cocktails so we have been to quite a few places. The Kara, with its £15.95 set menu and a Cocktail bar for laters enticed us, and in all honesty it exceeded our expectations. From the moment of our arrival and throughout, the service from all was very professional, attentive, and friendly. We were even asked if we were happy with the table they had selected for us, which is a first for me. A big shout out to Ozzy who looked after us during the meal, very helpful and with a good sense of humour. The food was delicious and plenty, wine and Cocktails a reasonable price. I was very impressed when we were asked if we would like to take time to digest our starter before the main. They will even supply you with a food bag to take home, if you can’t manage it all. The decor is modern, buzzy and fun, with a crazy lighting and mirrored area to allow for taking photos on the way to the toilets. It was like being in a London restaurant, but without paying a fortune. We had allowed time for a couple of cocktails in the Cocktail bar area, and they were excellent, made to a high standard with attention to detail. As it was a Friday we enjoyed a little of the live singing by a lovely lady (believe it was Nikita KC) who interacted with us as she sang, and even said goodbye when we left. We will definitely be back.

Sara Lim Dining at Khamsa has been an amazing experience. We had the salad platter, fish tagine and the rice pudding. The food was good but the company from the owner was even better. Djamel was very attentive and ensured we enjoyed our experience. Very glad to have found this neighbourhood gem and will be back soon!

porridge A pleasant place with really delicious sushi and a range of hot food around £10. The service is also fast despite it getting quite busy. The only thing worth noting is the small seating area so this place is more suited for takeaway rather than to eat in.

Curran Sareen Great coffee, lovely sausages and a well cooked English Breakfast. I cannot fault this place. Music could just be a touch louder but really nice cafe.

Ali Selman Burak Ai Sushi in North Finchley is an absolute gem. The all-you-can-eat option for £28.80 is incredible value for the quality you get. Every single dish I tried was fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavour. You can really taste how high the quality of the ingredients is, from the sashimi to the tempura and everything in between. The service was just as impressive. The staff were friendly, polite, and always smiling, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. They were attentive without ever being intrusive and made sure everything came out perfectly. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, ideal whether you’re visiting with friends, family, or even on your own for a quiet meal. It’s clear the team here take a lot of pride in what they do, and it really shows. This is definitely a must-try spot for anyone who loves Japanese food. I’ll be coming back again soon and recommending Ai Sushi to everyone I know.

Samie Xix Amazing food and kind staff very friendly and efficient
