Delicious meals at home in Edgware

“Awesome Pizza! The pizza in my photo is a Freestyle - Extra Large with cheddar cheese, black olives, cherry tomatoes, jalapeños, oregano, peppers, red onions, sweetcorn.”

“Mmmm shashlik! Tender, spicy but not hot spicy......make your mouth water spicy. Charcoal chicken wings. Not the skinny flappy bit but,the shoulder and bicep. A tiny sprinkle of fresh lemon juice drizzled into the munchable, tender chicken. The starter dip things.... FANTASTIC Turkish naan. Light and fluffy with a good outside crunch, dipped into fresh proper humus. A garlicy yoghurt dip thing. Grilled onion quarters in a pomegranate sauce. A fresh and tangy salad with tomatoes, cos lettuce, cucumber, onion. Often Turkish salads that I've had have just been sprinkled with vinegar which, can make them slightly bland. Not so Charcoal's salad dressing. Imagine a charcoaled meat selection served on a bed of rice with a chips border and a sort of thin, round flatbread covering to keep the aroma and heat contained. Lamb shish in very small,succulent cubes on wooden skewers. The charcoal chicken wings, shashlik, thin strips of doner.thick, tender lamb chunks. Add a glass of Turkish red wine (or three). Maybe some Turkish tea with something sweet for those of us who like the slightest perspiration invoked by overeating. Yes, they do takeaway. Yes they have all sorts of fizzy drinks. But, they are not your usual Turkish takeaway. This place is well worth a sit-down for an hour or so and serious, professional eating. Opposite Lidl so maybe, if you do some shopping in Lidl - you could park there. Personally, I think it's worth taking the Northern line and walking from Edgware statation. A couple of outside tables for those that need a quick cigarette or an afternoon cup of coffee and a baklava. I was introduced by a friend who is Turkish and himself a retired restaurateur. In the 20 plus years I have known him - he has always steered me to places that are good quality and not overpriced. This isn't a place with fancy carpets and bow tie waiters. It's like a mum n dad place who care and concentrate on flavour.”

“The food was delicious and the staff was always attentive and made sure if everything was okay or if we needed anything else. We will definitely come back.”

“Nando's never disappoints with food, but lately, the plates have disappeared. I would like plate to eat from, so far, cutlery is still there, so we're good Seems a little lost and chaotic Music is good Food is good What's not to like”

“No doubt the best in the area. Visit today , love the Munch box spot on. highly recommended.”

“Ordered here after a long time Really impressed with the quality of pizzas Delivery really quick and tasted better then Pizza Hut which I’ve really gone off as the quality of food is absolutely awful Also read order notes unlike others who ignore”

“Service great, food was nice, we had starters and mains, bit will be returning at another date for pudding. Our server(Amber) was very good at suggesting drinks and food. Nice atmosphere.”

“It was the first time I ordered from this place. All I can say the food was amazing, very nice and tasty. Omg a dream! My friend Jean who unfortunately passed away a few months ago due to Covid always used to order from here and she always praised their food I will definitely order again and again. Thank you so much!”

“Excellent service and food. It was busy but the staff were very helpful and took great care of all the diners. We will certainly eat there again.”

“Had the soup dumpling. All their stuff is delicious.”

“I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of the pizza in Pizza Di Loro. I had a pizza of the house, with a couple of "ichnuso" beers. Considering the quality, the price is reasonable. Ideal for those who want a romantic night out. There was also plenty of room for bigger groups.”

“Me and my partner had a lovely experience here. The best coffee we’ve had in a long time and the bakery section was lovely and very fresh.”

“Great place to get salt beef. The staff are very friendly and kind. I really can't rate them higher. The apple strudel Is a personal favourite too”

“Been ordering from this place for a while now. Normally from uber. This time we went In and sat down to eat. I Normally get the omelette bap. Reading the menu found out they do alot of inidan dishes. Can't wait to go back and try them. Was asked how spicy I like my bap found that to be the key. As before once I ordered from uber it came too spicy. I can handle my heat but my god that day I cried. But over all great place to grab a sandwich and odd indian dishes. Bombay sandwich was really tasty too. Must visit place gotta say”

“A small Lovely store with great pizza. They have also quite a large selection of other food, like pastas and soups. The staff are lovely and super helpful. Would recommend.”

“I often eat at canons cafe with my wife and family members, it can be difficult finding a really good cafe in the local area which offers a warm, friendly service, accompanied with an excellent choice of food on the menu, including 'specials of the day'. Without hesitation, I can honestly say canons ticks all the right boxes and I would not hesitate in recommending! The owner is a lovely gentleman and all his staff members are very welcoming and friendly offering prompt service without lengthy delays waiting for your food.. such a fantastic cafe!”

“Five stars for sure. Great place. Just had dinner there: starters/mix kebab/burger/chicken shish -- the food is amazing. So tasty. Lovely staff also. If you are in the area I recommend you drop in for a bite. You won't be disappointed!”

“Best cafe in burnt oak highly recommended staff r polite and friendly and food is top”

“My family have been coming to this place for 20-odd years. Every single time, the food is fantastic. The flavours are brilliant, and the variety of choice is something we love. It is genuinely hard to go wrong with anything off this menu, and they are even willing to make vegetarian version of starters/mains that otherwise have meat in them upon request (personal favourite is the mushroom chaat puri they make instead of the chicken version).”

“Brilliant selection of Asian food and grocery. Not Overcrowded like some of the other shops. Very reasonable prices”

“Good food, good quality and excellent service. Staff are always very friendly.”

“Nice Kabab one of the best food in London and also good Service”

“Great products from around the world and an amazing service”

“We found ourselves in Edgeware an not sure where to go for a meal. So many restraunts which all look good! Then we found Izgara a Turkish restaurant! The place is just beautiful inside and the staff are so attentive. The food is beautifully prepared and is well presented Service was quick, and it's one of the best meals that we have had out this year! If we lived in London this would be our go to place! However next time we are in London we will definitely be back!”

“My local Italian restaurant, the food is always spot on, can't fault it, always tasty and nice portions. Can walk in, but I suggest at busier times it better to book. Never been let down here, the good is consistently good. I always dine in, so can't comment on the takeaway. Plenty of free parking at the Sainsbury just behind, a few minutes walk. Awesome”

“A very authentic hk style restaurant! The 燒味飯is really nice! Especially the 燒鵝髀, just add 50p to change into the leg part, a very fair deal! 叉燒is a bit too dry and hard but acceptable, just can’t get 半肥瘦叉燒in uk anyway. The milk tea is very nice, the 紅豆冰is fine. Their bakery and pastry are also nice and fair price, much cheaper than China town.”

“Really delicious spicy lamb curry! And the owner was really lovely to talk to. Will come back next time!”

“Sarmale minunata! Excellent food and friendly staff.”

“Called up the cafe to ask if I could change something on the deliveroo sharing platter for 2, no trouble at all and the lady on the phone was polite (the most polite I’ve ever spoken too from a cafe) changing was no trouble. The food arrived piping hot, fresh, such a generous amount that it fed our daughter too. Will 1000% reccomend and order again, couldn’t even tell it was delivered was like eating in. Best cafe in the area!! *****”
