The Barbary Notting Hill

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!

We had dinner here last Saturday. The food was exquisite. Such a gamut of tastes. Staff were very attentive, welcoming and helpful. All set in a very tasteful, warm and very comfortable interior. Enjoyed our dinner very much! Will definitely come back.

Oh my god.. such delicious food. THE GARLIC AND ANCHOVIE BREAD WAS THE BEST IV'E EVER TASTED.. I DREAM OF THAT BREAD , ITS LIKE A SOFT PILLOW RADIATING WITH UMAMI LOL. All of the chefs work so hard for perfection. Portions are small, mutton rolls were a disappointment, would like bigger mains and service was a bit slow. Overall, I would recommend and go back

I knew I was in for something special. The warm ambiance, inviting aromas, and attentive service set the stage for an exceptional dining experience. I started with Appetizer which was beautifully plated and packed with fresh, bold flavors. The balance of spices and textures made every bite a delight. For the main course, I chose Main Dish and it was nothing short of perfection. The tenderness of the meat/vegetables, To finish, I indulged Dessert a heavenly creation that perfectly balanced sweetness with a hint of spice. The combination of warm and cold elements. Each dish showcased authenticity, technique, and a deep understanding of flavors. Whether you’re a fan of Indian cuisine or simply appreciate fine dining,must-visit. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an unforgettable meal.

Came here with my family while they were visiting me over the past two weeks. We had a great time, though the service was a bit slow :) Glad they have the room temperature of the sparkling water. I really enjoyed the lamb chops and the octopus dish, definitely coming back for them! Not a big fan for other dishes so far, maybe need to try others next time. That is why 4 stars ⭐️ Great ambiance, by the way. A good spot for a date though.

The restaurant is a beautiful room with lots of glass and mirrors and lovely lighting - all together a very pleasing space. Music at just the right level. Service was very good with explanations of dishes where needed. All the dishes were good but nothing was exceptional except perhaps the breads. The main dishes and sides were also very small for the price

First time at The Barbary for valentines and it did not disappoint - excellent dining experience! Food, service and ambiance were all fantastic. I never thought cauliflower could have my taste buds so engaged lol! We cannot wait to come back again I would say £70+pp minimum (providing you are sharing)
