@a.siegel92

"Middle eastern - traditional, everything was delicious. Especially the grilled halloumi. But also the Jerusalem bagel. "

"[service95] Our menu takes its culinary cues from the vast landscape of the cuisines and countries of the Barbary Coast, from Southern Europe to Northern Africa."

"Fantastic north African food and great ambience "

@joan.sapka2

"An excellent restaurant serving the best of North African and Mediterranean cuisine. The venue is very intimate with seats around a bar (of sorts) surrounding the chefs and staff as they work their magic. Some highlights were the lamb, the taramasalata style dip and the bread (Jerusalem bagel and naan)."

@danilomenasche

"Dish to order: Smoked labneh octopus The owners of The Barbary (two former nightclub owners and two Israeli chefs) have created something rare – a set of London restaurants (The Palomar, The Barbary, The Barbary Next door) where a table is as coveted now as it was on opening night. While you wait for a seat at this Covent Garden outpost, order some flaky pastry cigars stuffed with fish and a round of pita pouches of lamb as comforting as mittens in winter. It's difficult to separate stand-out dishes but the charred octopus tentacle and neck of pata negra pork are both contenders. A talking point round the bar, the pistachio-filled 'hashcake' comes with the satisfyingly smoky aftertaste of a joint. East London Liquor Company gin and tonics are served with a slice of grapefruit and the Zweigelt goes with pretty much everything on the menu. This is still one of our favourite spots in London."

"Questo ristorantino, il cui nome si ispira a quella che nel XVI secolo si chiamava Costa berbera (in pratica il Mediterraneo), è un tripudio di piatti superbi come cavolfiore arrostito intero con una salsa molto speziata, hummus decostruito, costolette d’agnello all’harissa e polpo in melassa di melograno. Il pane piatto esce gonfio dal forno tandoor, mentre il Jerusalem bagel vi impedirà per sempre di apprezzare i bagel acquistati in negozio."

"The challenge is to stop ordering: they are so many appealing dishes on the menu that the urge to try everything is hard to resist. The former Barbary Coast provides the inspiration; there’s grilling over coals, baking in the clay oven and some raw dishes too. The zinc-topped counter seats just 24."

"Incredibly good food. You are sitting in high chairs in a u-shaped bar table where you can see them prepare the food in front of you. Cool street vibe. Great service. Really recommend the Jerusalem bagel and Naan bread, Mashwiya spread, Chicken Shawarma, Black Salmon Dukkah, Cauliflower Jaffa style. For dessert the Hashcake is incredible - must try."

"Incredible North African food"

@tory.trombley

"Bib Michelin : Une atmosphère feutrée règne dans ce restaurant que l’on doit à l’équipe du Palomar : une petite adresse pouvant accueillir 24 convives (pas de réservation) qui s’installent au coude à coude autour d’un comptoir en zinc en forme de fer à cheval. La carte propose des petites assiettes à partager, où s’illustrent des recettes de l’ancienne côte des Barbaresques. Service enthousiaste et prix compétitifs. "

"Excellent restaurant de cuisine méditerranéenne. Accueil chaleureux et repas sur comptoir, autour de la cuisine spectacle. Pas de grande complexité mais des produits simples et savoureux. Coup de cœur. "

@

"Cette nouvelle adresse, située sur la fameuse place de Covent Garden, nous fait voyager du côté des côtes septentrionales qu'on situe aujourd'hui sur le littoral maghrébin. Des mets riches et exotiques relevés par un assaisonnement composé d'épices venues du bout du monde. Le chef d'origine israélienne vous fera déguster ses spécialités du pays, réalisées dans les règle de l'art, à l'ancienne. On vous laisse découvrir du haut de l'un des hauts tabourets du restaurant, face à la cuisine, et partager en couple ou entre amis ces savoureux petits plats."

@

"Layo and Zoe Paskin have been wowing visitors to Covent Garden with their Berber cuisine since 2016; before the pandemic this was one of the toughest places in London to bag a seat, and its Jerusalem bagels, Jaffa-style cauliflower and octopus masabacha are still hugely popular. Its admirers will be delighted by the news that The Barbary Next Door, a more casual kitchen-slash-wine bar focusing on bottles from Spain, France and Morocco, will open in October 2021, replacing Jacob the Angel."

"Sister restaurant of The Palomar Two restaurants, door-to-door: The Barbary and The Barbary next door (more like a wine bar) Lloyd recommends Knaffeh for dessert"

@victor.marpal

"$$ The Barbary makes quite a first impression; it’s small, pulsing to electro-pop and almost certainly full of people. Its party-loving sister the Palomer serves modern Israeli food, but this place has a more poetic remit, with a menu inspired by the Barbary Coast (an old term for North Africa’s Mediterranean coastline, once famed for its pirates and lions). Think smoky baba ghanoush, octopus Mashawsha and cumin crusted lamb cutlets. CN"
