You know there's Greek food and then there's Cypriot Greek food, and let me tell you, the latter is…read morethe absolute one. This spot is authentic. And the best part? It's just a stroll away from my place (not that it matters to you). The starters are great - you've got the choice of cold or warm mezes, calamari, dolmas, all the usual suspects for a Greek place. When it comes to the mains, I highly recommend the sheftalias and pork kebab (sorry Kosher and Halal gang), or go for the mixed grill if you can't decide. They even do really nice fish dishes as well, seabass and salmon are worth a mention. And don't forget to grab some chips - they use the proper Cypriot potatoes. Weekdays are usually quiet, but on weekends it can get busy so it's worth booking ahead. The service is alright, nothing special - but hey, it's Greek, what do you expect? As for parking, it's not amazing - there's a tiny lot across the street and you can park at Cockfosters station.

If you want authentic Greek food, then this place is an excellent choice. The Meze is good, where…read moreyou get a selection of small plates to share, and includes everything from olives and hummus to kebabs and sheftalia. Their fish courses are very good too, and I can particularly recommend the charcoal grilled octopus - delicious with a feta salad and lots of lemon juice. Portions are big and you won't leave hungry. If you are going with a big group it's best to call ahead and make reservations especially on the weekend. The downside to this place is that it is small and when it is busy, it can feel a bit claustrophobic, and it's loud so it's difficult to have a good conversation. The decor is not my taste, I think it would benefit from looking a little more Mediterranean, but otherwise can't complain.

Christ, what can I say that's not been said already below in the two 10 star reviews, apart from…read morethis is one of the few restaurants you come across once in a lifetime that you cannot fault any element of - quality, value, service, atmosphere and of course QUANTITY! Took the family (missus and child) here to try it last week as it was both local and well rated. The restaurant itself is located in a dingy side street in Barnet where there's a few other restaurants/takeaways and a convenience store, in all honesty a bit dodgy looking. Nevertheless we persevered and found the village Greek restaurant which really did stand out like a sore thumb on that street. Simple, clean, wooden panelled interior, unpretentious deco and very homely feel with ambient lighting - enough so to work as a romantic dining experience too. Upon entering (although I booked a table for 8pm the place was quite empty on a Saturday night, that sent alarm bells for me) we were swiftly seated and given a walm welcome. I already had the Meze meal for 2 in mind but asked the manager anyway if it would be worth ordering anything extra for the child and he quickly said "no no no it will be enough" with a big grin on his face :). I (very pigheadedly in retrospect) ignored his advice and ordered some extra side of home made chips which I asked to be served along with the main meal. So the banquet commenced with 4 dips and some potato salad and olives. The taramasalat, my fave, was oddly White in colour instead of pink but tasted very nice - just the right amount of salty sour I like :) tzantziki, tahini and hommous were good also and this was all served with a huge bowl of warmed pitta (also delicious). The chips came afterwards and it was the biggest bowl of side dish chunky chips I've seen in my life! Imagine a fruit bowl full of fries and you won't be far off. Obviously little boy was happy with his mountain of fried potato goodness. (I also helped him out of course but we didn't even get near finishing it with the rest of the meze arriving!) To be honest by this point I was actually quite full and would have paid the full £18pp price just for the starter but then came ham and halloumi cheese, 2 giant grilled mushrooms, some mini salami sausages, pastroumi, courgette omelette. That was Allll fantastically seasoned and tasted great but Ladies and Gents, this was still the starters. So, after Undoing my belt, then came the main fish course - fried calamari (light and crispy, no greasiness), garlic prawns in a risotto like dish (this was my absolute favourite of the mains, very very tasty, the other half said it was nice but perhaps a bit salty), bbqed red mullet (grilled to perfection - the meat was juicy and slid off the bone easily meaning well cooked, seasoning was a simple mix of olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper). Top button of my jeans pops off and the next main arrives - mixed platter of chicken, pork and beef cutlets on a bed of grilled vegetables (peppers, onions) and again a fruit bowl full of greek salad with a generous bar of feta cheese on top. If I'm honest I didn't even touch the salad as I think I fell asleep at the table from overindulgence-poisoning, but the missus rates it well with fresh mixed salad leaves and light lemon juice/pepper seasoning. I did try the meat (although literally 1 piece of each meat to try for flavour - again fantastic) but could not physically stomach another bite. The waitress, spotting our table that was littered with half finished plates of Greek goodness and top buttons of trousers littered all over the floor, kindly asked if we wanted to takeaway the rest to which I shouted YES PLEASE perhaps a little too enthusiastically. So out came, and I joke you not, 5 big containers of takeaway Greek food or 1 supermarket carrier bags worth of food. Waitress jested if we wanted dessert to which there was a collective exclamation of 'no thanks' as we refastened out belts. Now onto the bill. For such a large assortment of high quality authentic Greek cuisine I was astonished that the bill came to below £60 including a bottle of wine and drinks. There was no service charge attached so I more than happily gave the smiley waitress 15% of the bill. Overall a highly recommended outing for a wide variety of audiences - family, couples and gluttons (like myself). I may however opt to try one of the reasonably priced main courses next time. Or maybe just starve myself for a week before I come back.

They catered brilliantly for our large party including all 6 of my nieces and nephew (ages 1 - 10). Calamari, fish cake, houmous, taramasalata, tzatziki and warm pitta bread were all excellent and fresh. Others had grilled sea bass which was exceptionally good and I nicked a sheftalia (grilled minced sausage) off my bro-in-law's plate and it was truly melt in the mouth.

We were served with food , of how can I say half a packet of salt on everything from the Kalamari which tasted like it was brought from a supermarket definitely not fresh rubbery taste to the meat being so over cooked and full of spices this certainly was the worst Greek food well if you can say Greek meze we have ever experienced and note we are all Greek Cypriots ! The only items of food that was nice was the pitta bread and some dips. Having a heavily pregnant lady with us didn't help either we weren't treated with any kind of warmth or hospitality , they were too busy serving and caring more about the other three tables and didn't bother much with us , yet we constantly said please ask the chef not so much salt. We were also served with one slice of watermelon which he said was a fruit platter! Where was the fruit one disgusting sour watermelon We had such a horrible experience that we just wanted to leave. We asked for the bill which was incorrect yet the owner wasn't having it and questioned us then he has the audacity to screw up the bill in our faces and throw it and tell us to leave and don't pay then. And then he had the cheek to say we don't go out to eat we don't know ! We most certainly do go out for dinners whether it be local in north london or in the city or Mayfair we were prepared to spend even £100 on a dinner, if it was worth it . We were disgusted by this attitude of the owner and said no we are going to pay please amend it we paid and he was very rude and ignorant. We will never step foot in this place again and certainly never recommend it. There are much better Greek restaurants in north London, this isn't more than a cafe style restaurant in a hotel Stay clear from here

Medi Grill has a good atmosphere, lunch special and hummus that works really well meaning that it is not too garlicky with enough oil. They also do nice salads here and the lounge upstairs is very pretty and serves nice sandwhiches. My gripe with Medi Grill is the service. The first time, we had a lovely server. This was during the day on the lunch special. The second time, I believe there was a party upstairs and it took an additional 20 minutes for to get our bill after we finished our food, which was slow in coming out. The waitress seemed to be stressed and unhappy over the party and it came across in her attitude towards us. It didn't help that we were in a rush. All and all, I probably wouldn't go back to Medi Grill because of the service. The food was tasty but I won't run the risk of being made late again or feeling like a burden.
