The Barbary London Reviews
Have to do dinner!
Wonderful experience! Friendly and professional staff. Blackened salmon was perfectly prepared, coffee rubbed chicken was moist and crunchy, “cigars” great with the dip and the man was perfect. Wonderful atmosphere with the open kitchen and gr
Great mixture of plates perfectly cooked
Lovely relaxed atmosphere with soft music in background. Tables are a bit too close . Service is fast yet not pushy or business like. Food I tried was perfectly cooked, right balance of flavours. Portions on the smallish sides
Gem in Neal's Yard
North African / Middle Eastern food made in front of you with live fire. This fun little gem in Neal's Yard is mainly all bar, so you can watch the food being made in front of you. It was hard to pick what I wanted to eat, as everything on the m
Incredible Evening!
From the moment we walked into The Barbary we knew we would have an amazing night. The music was such fun, staff were so friendly and the restaurant was so chic. Alex looked after us and talked through the menu, making sure my intolerances were cater
Way beyond expectations!
A chance last day delight - the best meal with the best service in our entire 3 week UK visit. The food was fantastic and what could be better than sitting looking into the kitchen, literally right in front of us, where the delightful chefs shared th

We went for lunch here and were really impressed, the food was incredible. We started with a selection of dips with the hummus being a particular favourite and then moved onto the mains with our favourites being the lamb and the octopus though everyt
Good food and outstanding service experience
Good food with AMAZING service. I cant remember her name but the server was truly outstanding. She took the time to explain us wines and made us taste them, genuinely caring about our experience. She was also quick-witted and very attentive without i
Best meal In London
The food was amazing, there’s no question there. I had the Cuban cigars, artichoke. For my meal I had the lamb chops, cooked to perfection. The staff was welcoming and kind, specifically Mateo, oren, and aika.
What a find !!!
We came across this gem whilst looking for somewhere it stop for a drink and light lunch. The staff were so friendly and helpful, describing the menu and where in the world the dishes were based. Food was great. Will visit again next time we are in L
Superb
Really nice place where they take advantage of every single inch. Here you will dine intimately at the counter, with the chefs just a little more than an arm's length away. Perfect for lunch or a quicker dinner. Excellent food and excellent serv

Visited 16 Neal's Yard, lunchtime, 27th April.
It was our first visit to The Barbary. Charles, the manager, was extremely accommodating and helped us navigate the menu as my wife doesn't like her food quite as spicy as I do. Staff are friendly and the place had a warm, friendly vibe; you c
Amazing food.
Wasn't sure what to expect from North African cuisine, but it was all delicious and truly unique. Service was excellent. All counter seating around the open kitchen.
Every single time I come here it's always the best.
The staff are so friendly and I love the overall environment. I take absolutely everyone here and they always end up having the best time - it's a crowd pleaser. This time I took my friend here for her birthday and we just had the absolute best
Love to come here when in London but make your reservations
Love to come here when in London but make your reservations early. Ambiance is interesting all diners are crowded around a horseshoe bar. High energy and warm is what I would say but some of that warmth is generated by the person on the stool right

Quite possibly one of my favorite meals! They really got the perfect blend of salt, fat, acid and heat in every dish. I loved how each component complimented the others and were always present. The chef was also so friendly and chatted with us throug
A reservation for the restaurant is a must.
I believe they open it up a month before and should you have the calendar reminder, then do checkbook. The space is small, counter seating of about z22 people. The service. Is wonderful and food above average. All are small plates to share so if yo
The greatest pork dish of my life.
What is going on here?! Doesn't even taste like pork, infused with a date sauce and, I don't know, angel's breath? Heavenly. The Jerusalem bread and spreads are delicious, too. Kind and generous chef and cooks. Intimate and sexy atmosp
My favorite restaurant in all of London.
Every time I come to town, I make it a point to stop here. Luca and the staff are 10 out of 10! The food is life changing, the charcoal grill is a game changer, the staff are kind and the atmosphere is incredible. Make the trip!
This spot is a stunner! Wow! The food is incredible! Secure
This spot is a stunner! Wow! The food is incredible! Secure a reservation for sure. We saddled up at the bar seating with direct views of the bustling kitchen. We asked our server to completely take the wheel on food decisions and she gave us a perfe
The Barbary is a little gem!
The food was delicious! Such a simple space with great music and a great vibe…loved the no frills of it all. Paloma cocktail was best I have ever had! Alex and Ceasar were beyond nice and attentive!
North African blended fusion
Oversett tekst med kameraet Amazing food... some just melted on your tongue. North African spice blend that gave a new experience to several small dishes. We were 3 people and asked them to serve a piece off everything. It just flowed with small d

We are regular patrons of The Palomar so we wanted to try one of their other restaurants and Barbary didn't disappoint. Excellent food, cocktails/wine and ambiance. Love all the small plates and dips.
Gets better with each visit!! Superb
Another superb visit. It seems to get better each time that I visit. We were blown away by the food, atmosphere and energy. A huge thank you to Lubna for being so welcoming and professional- what an asset she is. Thank you for another wonderful eveni
Great date night
If you’re staying in the area I would not miss this fantastic restaurant. Every bite was delicious. I particularly recommend the octopus, naan and dips. The cauliflower was also fantastic. I like that they offer carafes of wine. It’s easier to fi

Way overpriced and left hungry
Do not go here if you’re hungry. Meat was decent but way overpriced. You’ll need to have a second dinner when you leave or spend 300 pounds to get full. Meh.
Fun atmosphere, incredible food and flavors, impeccable
Fun atmosphere, incredible food and flavors, impeccable service! North African / Mediterranean influenced food delivered to perfection! Must-try! I found Barbary on the Michelin app as a recommended Bib Gourmand, and it fits! I loved EVERYTHING!
Thrilling
A very small unusual restaurant with excellent food and staff. The tables are based around the cooking grills which adds to the ambience. Every dish was perfect
CHEFS TABLE EXPERIENCE FOR ALL!
If you like eating at the chefs table to send your taste buds in to overdrive then you’ll love The Barbary as all if its horseshoe shaped seating area surrounds the kitchen. We supped our lovely house cocktails (Shifkah Palomas) whilst watching t
Brilliant casual but upmarket lunch spot
The staff were wonderful, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was buzzing - overall, TIP TOP! Keep up the great work.
Overall wonderful service and food.
From the very moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. I actually had to check with my friend to see if she knew the hosts, they were that welcoming! The exceptional service continued with our server Orlando, who was simply the best. Made
Good but not excellent
Visited the place already no. (12:15) and was almost the first. Place is small and crowded , staff is very attentive and helpful. You seat is on a bar, not the best chair. Food was ok- not great Base on small plates Overall cost was relatively hi

Our favorite meal in London was situated in the iconic Neal's Yard in Covent Garden. The dishes are inspired from the Barbary Coast, identified by 16th century Europeans as the area settled by the Berbers in the Atlas Mountains. The menu focuses on
North African/Middle Eastern cuisine
Enjoyed our evening here. Food is imaginative, service is friendly and well informed. North African/Middle Eastern cuisine. All seats are at bars, you are seated on stools which are not comfortable and very little space; you are literally rubbing sho
Great food, great music just right for a Sunday
It is a little hard to find but once found it should not be forgotten. The food is a mix of everything that you could wish for. The dips and the bread were very tasty and the naan bread was warm and straight out of the oven in front of you. Also don'
Love it
This was one of the best food that we eat in London. We try almost everything from the menu and enjoy it. Great concept and great service 😉
After attending Michelin recommended restaurants in London for six days I came to the conclusion that this is the worst…
I came to this restaurant because I went to the Palomar that is its sister restaurant. While the food is god the environment is of a fast food bar …. The staff are unpolite and rush you all the time , the sits are uncomfortable ( still not a chair
Best meal in 4 years
Well what can I say, I already had good vibes about this place and reviews from friends who had been. So I had high hopes. But Barbary I know this sounds dramatic! But your food makes my soul sing! Flavour flavour off the charts. My partner and I lov

Tasty food, fun vibe, excellent service (our waiter Alex was great). Perfect for a romantic birthday celebration. Definitely recommend!

Had a Unique and intimate dining experience at the Barbary.
It's a limited seating, Tapas kind small plates restaurant. Recommend making a reservation before hand. Great services from the staff. Food was delicious.
Great food, great service.
Interesting food and presented beautifully!Cramped and very loud-not intended for a romantic dinner. We would recommend.
Don't miss going here .
Best dinner I had in London's Covent Gardens district . If you know of Ottolenghi it's like going to his personal restaurant . The food the drinks and service are outrageously fantastic . We are at the Barbary counter service and the show of the ki
Great dinner spot in a cool area.
Loved the whole bar setup and vibe here - everything we tried was great. The highlight was the spice chicken, which was super moist and tender. Would definitely make a return visit when I'm in London again.
Connect with users posting reservations for The Barbary London
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Barbary London. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Barbary London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Barbary London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at The Barbary London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Barbary London!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
