Aura of Cockfosters - (Near Barnet, london)

Daren Kenward A brand new Italian restaurant in East Barnet located opposite the Shell petrol station. We were warmly greeted as we walked in and did not have to wait long while our table was being prepared. Fortunately we reserved a table as the restaurant was busy. Decore is tastefully done with comfortable seating and a good choice of traditional (non Italian) music in the background with a great mix of tunes. The waitress we had was extremely attentive with nothing asked being to much and knew what was in a seafood dish when questioned about the ingredients. The menu choice is refined with a good choice. Food was very well presented, hot, freshly cooked to perfection and portion size big enough as the Pasta dishes are surprisingly deep. Parking is on the street or possible in the nearby Sainsburys carpark which is free but a maximum of 2 hours. I would highly recommend this restaurant which focuses on a quality experience you will not find in the usual Italian restaurants.

Dannie P Hi guys it is time for another review. Today I went to Marlos restaurant and here is the break down. Location: Marlos is located in Cockfosters. There is street paid parking available (reasonable price via pay by phone) and it is not far from Cockfosters train station. Customer Service- Today we were a party of 3. We were seated quickly and the restaurant was quite busy (due to it being the lunch time period). We were served by two lovely ladies Pepé and Diana. Staff were very attentive and warming. Customer service was 9.8 /10. Food Quality- The dishes we order were as follows Salmon Teriyaki with rice and Pak Choi. This was star of the show ,and a must have menu item. 10/10 Lamb Chops with rice and salad. Preference of how you would like the meat cooked is offered. This dish had a good balance level of flavours throughout. 9/10 Steak and Eggs which comes with 2 hash browns and brown toast. Again meat is cooked to preference. Steak was order to be medium but came closer to medium /well done. Steak still had flavour. Hash brown had a lovely crunch on the outside and soft on the inside (perfect) Overall it was a good dish. 8.5/10 Drinks- There is a wide range of drinks options from hots drinks , such as teas and coffees. To smoothies and freshly squeezed juices. We all ordered the freshly squeezed juices ( you can choose the items you have in your juice). For mine I ordered apple ginger and pineapple. Again another show stopper. 10/10 Atmosphere/ Interior: Lovely atmosphere with low music which enables you to talk and relax. This restaurant would be great for brunches, family gatherings, a day time date, or business working lunch. 10/10 Value for Money: excellent value for money as food is freshly made and good balance of flavours through out. 10/10 Overall Score - 9.8/ 10 would highly recommend anyone to come to Marlos. Will definitely be coming back again

Dalila Abd Rahman A friend recommended this place. The food is amazing. Simple healthy menu yet so flavourful and satisfying! Small, quaint cafe and family friendly. They have a selection of toys to keep my toddler busy. A little pricey compared to surrounding cafes but well worth it. Would definitely come again.

Ejder Raif A very friendly place with great food at good prices. Dont hesitate to pop in if you are feeling hungry. Remember, miss it, miss out! Thanks to all the staff for everything. You always do a wonderful job. Well done!

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
