The Barbary London Reviews from The Last Year
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 us feel thoroughly special and provided great insight to the menu. Food is exceptional and I look forward to going back to try the dishes I didn’t get too. Overall wonderful service and food.
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 high
This was definitely our favorite restaurant during our
This was definitely our favorite restaurant during our latest London trip! Couldn't recommend enough I had a few friends rave about this place, so I was on top of making a reservation as soon as it came out. The restaurant is fairly small, pretty much with only bar seating around the kitchen, so make your reservations early. I love the open kitchen concept, where everyone can get a view of the kitchen since you're in a very large semicircle. We came with a veteran Barbary friend who knew exactly what to order. They fire grill everything to PERFECTION! Highly recommend getting the jerusalem bagel with a few mezzes to dip I don't think you can go wrong with any of the dishes, but our favorites were probably the cauliflower, chicken, and octopus. But just get everything!
Our favorite meal in London was situated in the iconic
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 the culture + heritage of countries from the Atlantic Coast through to the Mediterranean Sea leading to the Middle East. Fire is at the center of everything they do. *| what we ordered Spinach Borani Ikra Whipped Feta Naan e Barbari Beetroot Tzatziki Octopus Pata Negra Hashcake - pistachio tart
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 shoulders with your neighbours. The food is generally tasty and well prepared. Some of the sauces too strong, almost overwhelming. I would rate the food B+A- The staff who served us from behind the bar were lovely. Knowledgeable, attentive, generous (we did shots before we left). Fardin and Charlotte really looked after us. The bill came: £145.00 for two people. Not wildly expensive but not good value.
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 😉
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't be afraid to ask if you don't know what something is as the staff are great at helping and guiding you what goes with which other dish. Our favourite was the Pata Negra which was so soft and tasty. But don't forget the specials if they are there The other bit hat made it great on a cold Sunday was the music which was just perfect for a Sunday lunch in a relaxing environment, especially as we were a walk in.
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 and there is no table), the chef is shouting all the time …. The place is crowded…. I will never be back…. It really does not match its sister restaurant Palomar. I do not recommend this place to anyone.
5 stars
Tasty food, fun vibe, excellent service (our waiter Alex was great). Perfect for a romantic birthday celebration. Definitely recommend!
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 loved it, our waitress, shout out to Mae-zing she was our server, she was fabulous talked us through the menu, I also like to ask staff what they love on the menu as they are living and breathing it , they know what’s good, Mae -zing guided us told us what she liked and it just added to the whole experience. None of the dishes disappointed. Legend you smashed it! The set up of all people around one horse show around the kitchen, great idea you feel connected to the kitchen and staff and just adds to the whole dinning experience, I love to cook myself to seeing in to what they are doing really added it for me. Anyway I’m rambling all I will say is go, you won’t be disappointed fab food, fab atmosphere and amazing staff shout too our main girl Mae-zing and the Yorkshire bloke who picked me the best desert of my life. See you in feb for my birthday x
Brilliant food and service.
Absolutely fantastic food, cannot fault anything on the menu. Will definitely be going back next time we are in London.
Amazing Mediterranean find in London! Tiny little spot with
Amazing Mediterranean find in London! Tiny little spot with only bar tables, but wow!!!! Great, fun staff and we were lucky to get a spot without a booking due to a no-show. Definitely make a booking. Best house made lebne (which we watched them making), and hummus and the naan and their "bagel" were ridiculous. Also enjoyed the halloumi and the fattoush salad. We barely had room for the lamb which was moist and full of flavor. The open kitchen is fun and interactive. Must try for sure!!!!
The Barbary is in located Covent Garden and the food is
The Barbary is in located Covent Garden and the food is absolutely delicious. It serves flavorful and fresh tapas right in front of your eyes with the open kitchen concept. The vibe is casual. There is limited seating so make a reservation! The menu is divided into land, sea, earth, and heaven (dessert). I tried the prawns, mushroom, naan (two servings), pork, and 3 dips. Almost every dish (I kid you not) gave me a wow factor. My only gripe is the pork was a tad too salty at times. (I didn't choose this dish). I would totally recommend this restaurant to anyone. It served us well the first night. Loved watching my food being made. Excellent experience.
Ok, I have this habit of closing my eyes when I want to
Ok, I have this habit of closing my eyes when I want to focus all my attention to a taste that that is spectacular to my taste buds. The pork dish is such a dish that all my senses focused on the taste. Wow! Such a cool place to have a seat around the kitchen bar and see how all the food is made. The cooking is really basic like cooking around a group of friends. The servers are terrific too. We just traveled through Egypt, Portugal, Jordan, Kenya and Tanzania and they seem to capture the food tastes of all these regions.Amazing. Run don't walk to this amazing restaurant.
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.
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.
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 kitchen dance was a major plus. Don't miss going here .
Just got back from eating here and it was amazing! We
Just got back from eating here and it was amazing! We stopped by to see if they had any walk in availability, expecting to not get in but, luck have it, a reservation didn't show up and we were seated almost immediately. The staff walked us through the whole menu and identified their favorites and we went with most of the recommendations. We started with the Jerusalem bagel with the aubergine dip. The bread was so soft and chewy with an amazing crust of sesame and zatar, it paired perfectly with the spreadable eggplant that was spiced so well. Our mains were the lamb kebab, oyster mushrooms, and cauliflower. The lamb was tender and grilled just right with the simplest salt and sauce that really let the protein shine through. The mushrooms had a very understated flavor but had the right texture and became so good with the mixture of char, lemon juice and tahini that it sat in. The star though was the cauliflower. The seasoning and sauce were so well balanced and the lightly fried texture could not have been better. We finished with the pecan baklava. I prefer pecans to pistachio and this was delicious with a nice crunch from the philo. It could have been warmed up just slightly but still tasty. I can't finish the review without talking about the staff. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. I didn't get anyone's name but the staff working the night of July 30th showed how a restaurant should be run. Def a must try when you're in Soho!

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Hi Community,
I am new to this site and just recently bought a reservation here. I noticed that on the reservation page, it is booked under a random name and a virtual email address.
I can't find any button to change either the name or the email for this reservation I bought. So, should I just say that random name when I arrived at the restaurant? Not really sure about the procedures.
