Luna Llena - (Near Barnet, london)

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.

George G I visited PLANB for lunch and had a great experience. It’s in a fantastic spot — literally next door to Crouch Hill station, which makes it super convenient. The restaurant itself is lovely, and it was a really nice place to sit and enjoy lunch. They have a good selection for both brunch and lunch, along with teas, coffees, tasty desserts, and alcoholic drinks. I ordered the octopus, which was absolutely delicious. I’d highly recommend giving it a try if you enjoy seafood. It’s a good space with a reasonable amount of seating, plus outdoor tables for when the weather’s nice. There are toilets inside for customers dining in as well. The service was great — friendly and helpful throughout. Would definitely recommend visiting.

Marge Definitely 5 stars! Anuraag is our go to place when it comes to Indian takeaways. Staff are always friendly and accommodating. Food is delicious, generous portions and reasonably priced. Thanks Anuraag!

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.

Sophie Krug Lovely restaurant with a diverse menu. Everything we ordered was delicious (tofu, bao buns, salt and pepper squid, lemongrass pork chop and dan dan noodles). Staff were friendly. Make sure to book ahead as it’s a small restaurant

Patrick Kilcoyne Incredible, fresh food. Real Italian flavour. Fantastic service. The highlight of our trip to London.
