Best Authentic Restaurants in East Finchley/Finchley/North Finchley

Really great food - everything we ate was excellent. However, the service was not as good as I had hoped - we had booked for a special occasion, but felt disappointed this was not acknowledged across the evening. We were originally sat at a table right by the door which felt like an odd choice given they knew we were there for a birthday, however we were moved to a nicer area which was appreciated. However, after we moved, we had to flag down waiters to order more drinks and ask for desserts. It felt a bit like they wanted us to leave by the end. Besides the service, the ambience was great and the food really was good. I hope the service would be better on a next visit.

We had a dinner booked for 7.30pm they were running late with service but I have to say we hardly noticed the pub had an amazing atmosphere the staff are very attentive and apologetic, they took a drinks round off the bill for the long wait. The food was amazing I had the monk fish tail and my husband had the pork loin absolutely delicious. You must try the beef fat popcorn omg it’s very tasty they should sell bags of this loved it. We will definitely e back can’t wait to sample the Sunday dinner.

❣️💀❣️ Best Mexican in London I’m a regular since they opened. The drinks are good with lots of Tequila in them and the food is incredible. I will be back soon!

I recently dined at the German Gymnasium in King’s Cross and was thoroughly impressed by its authentic German cuisine and beer selection. Housed in a beautifully restored Grade II listed building, the restaurant offers a unique and inviting atmosphere. The menu features classic dishes like schnitzel and currywurst, all prepared with genuine German flavors. The beer list is extensive, showcasing a variety of traditional German brews that perfectly complement the meals. The attentive service and vibrant ambiance made for a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend the German Gymnasium for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Germany in London.

Had heard good things, but was truly blown away by the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. Everything we tried was truly exceptional and I cannot wait for an excuse to go back and try the rest of the menu!
