Banaadiri Restaurant - (Near Barnet, london)

Natsuki Miyanagi I like their Tonkotsu ramen because it felt authentic and reminded me of my home country, Japan, when I dined there for the first time. This time, my friends and I had a lovely dinner. My friends had the Tonkotsu ramen, and I had a small sweet chilli king prawn hiyashi noodle. It was so tasty, and I loved the sesame dressing. The gyoza and karaage were also amazing and paired perfectly with the ramen. A small-sized main and two shared sides worked perfectly for my small appetite. It was a busy Friday evening, but the atmosphere was cosy, and we enjoyed our conversation. The servers were very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely come back!

Li Li We went to Jojo Restaurant yesterday and it was amazing! The food was fresh and tasted exactly like back home. They serve teff injera too, which is gluten free. The staff were super friendly and the service was great. We enjoyed everything! definitely more than happy to choose this place again! Highly recommend!

Jordan Delong Booked in with the Cockfosters branch for a bridal shower - nicely designed restaurant, tasty food for excellent value, and extremely helpful staff including great help from Fatma, Hasan and Mert. Our bride-to-be had a beautiful day and I could not be more grateful for the hospitality from the team :) thank you very much!

mariangela ponzetto Had a fantastic experience at Blue Olive in Cockfosters. The staff were friendly and attentive, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious, fresh, full of flavour and beautifully presented. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Jolana Šmídová Very friendly service. Fast and very well-prepared food. If we come here again, I would definitely return.

E S Really enjoyed a Friday evening meal here. The food was excellent, the service couldn’t be better, courteous and friendly. Portions were incredibly generous, everything was tasty, and I appreciated the free salad, bread, yoghurt dish and Turkish tea. The Turkish restaurants on Upper St, Islington have stopped giving salad etc at the start of the meal — which I associate with a good Turkish meal — so I’d rather come here. I was made to feel welcome as a single customer and given a nice table in the early evening. The dinner was reasonably priced given the generosity of the servings. Only shame was that I couldn’t get a small portion of the fresh chili sauce that often comes with the chicken/meat dishes, they only serve it as a large (paid) portion. One of the waiters kindly gave me some anyway, but I would suggest this is also made available for tables of 1 or 2, as it really complements the meats so nicely. Highly recommend this place, also there is a nice buzzy atmosphere and no loud music on the night that I visited, so a more relaxed atmosphere despite the buzz, customers didn’t need to shout to be heard.
