The Barbary Notting Hill

Service from Jenny was outstanding. She was one of the best waitresses I’ve had at any London restaurant. Food was generally delicious. Portions are quite small so you can order a lot. £75 pp including a lovely bottle of wine. Would return asap! The rice pudding was the star of the show - absolutely incredible

We had the best experience at The Barbary Notting Hill! We tried everything and every single dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere is vibrant and stylish, and you can really feel the energy from the open kitchen. The service was absolutely amazing, friendly, attentive, and made the evening feel special from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious food, great vibes, and outstanding hospitality. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Luxurious price decent food only. 70% burnt porkchop. Delicious bread and dips though. Okish drinks. Portion size is too tiny. Not worth for price:quality ratio.

Absolutely scrumptious meal. The service was excellent from the start. I particularly enjoyed the 7 Spice Lamb Rib, the Coffee Rub Chicken & the Orange wine to wash it down. I also loved the extra effort by the whole team when they signed a birthday card for me. Will definitely be back.

We recently stopped in for a martini and a light lunch at The Barbary Notting Hill, and the experience did not disappoint. We were greeted by the friendly head chef, who works behind the open fire grill, creating the most delightful smells of rich Mediterranean flavors. The light from the large windows lets in the busy city outside without the noise, and the architecture is modern and beautiful. The cherry and sumac sorbet was a great way to finish the meal. We will return and add The Barbary to our "favorites" list.

Sunday lunch at the Barbary in Notting Hill, London The menu is ment to be shared, small plates (look at the Octopus skewer). I like the concept a lot, it’s fun and makes you think and talk about food while eating. But the portion sizes are on the very small side. Especially the entrees section. So you need at least 7-9 dishes for 2ppl to eat. Ordered flatbread, mackerel and beef tartare to start with, followed by octopus with grilled peppers. The bread was brilliant, covered with EVO and all the middle east spices like little cumin and salt flakes. So soft, not rubbery. Mackerel was cured and covered with fresn and soury sauce, crispy peaces of peach worked well with charcoal fish skin. Although harrisa felt a bit too salty and heavy on tartare. I also felt that meat wasn’t soft as expected. I liked seeds crisp, so much flavor. About 80g of octopus main course unfortunately was so harsh in the flavor that it was impossible to enjoy. Peaces so small got burned so quick on charcoal, and heavy glaze made it too salty and unpleasant to eat. The service was there and yet there wasn’t if you know what I mean. People doesn’t look happy with what they do, ambience felt empty and off. Although the sister restaurant in Soho is recognized my Michelin Bib, I felt that there are more vibrant places to be. You should avoid this place on a sunny day as your lunch will be annoyed by the sun shining through naked windows making you fry. Very unpleasant.

We had been planning to go there for a long time. Maybe we expected too much, but the food wasn’t very tasty(sashimi was good). It was good, just a bit too greasy for me, and the portions were quite small. Overall, it’s a nice place, but I was expecting more.

We had an amazing time at Barbary! The food was absolutely delicious, and we loved the idea of sharing dishes. The only minor hiccup was that we didn’t receive our main course on time, but the manager was super helpful and quickly rectified the situation. He even offered us dessert on the house as a gesture of goodwill. We paired our meal with a couple of martinis and later with a lovely red wine, which was the perfect complement to the food. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience!
