    Without doubt my favourite restaurant, the food is incredible, amazing fresh fish...... staff are lovely. Always fresh ingredients and all the right portions to share. This is the kind of place that is just relaxed and down to earth where you can feel comfortable even though it is always crowded because it is so good. Great wine selection .... can't wait to go back.

    This restaurant is just fantastic. Lamb and veal chops were tender juicy and fresh. Grilled octopus just melts in your mouth and deep fried squid and prawns were very tasty. Their rice pudding was spectacular and unique. It wasn’t anything close to rice pudding in Middle Eastern restaurants which are most of the times boring. Donuts with melted chocolate were crunchy outside and fluffy inside. White wine Sauvignon Blanca was fruity and easy to drink . A friend invited us to this restaurant and I’m so glad eventually we found this clean restaurant with fantastic modern Mediterranean food in the area. We would definitely go again. Highly recommend this place .

    Literally wandered down the high street looking for somewhere nice to have dinner...couldn't have found a better place! The most friendly staff I have ever come across who really made the atmosphere great. The food was incredible! Hot, cold, meat, fish, veg meze style food. Iberico pork was a show stopper and the chicken wings were the best I have ever had! Crunchy while still saucy with a bit of sweet and spice. 😋🤤 Couldn't recommend more highly!

    Absolutely incredible dishes, portions are small with certain dishes so order a few to share. Everything is made to perfection! The owner is fantastic and so are the waiter's and chefs. Very clean here and each dish is made with love.

    Beautiful little restaurant, can’t believe I never noticed it before! Have been here a few times now and food is amazing every time, they do the best chicken wings! Lovely cocktails. Service is 10/10, my partner has a broken foot so we were sat near the door and doors held etc for him, was also so lovely to be recognised when returning. Dim lighting lovely vibe and I love that you can see the chefs cooking your food 💖

    I don't remember the last time I was greeted at a restaurant with a warm and friendly handshake, but I'm here for it. A lovely way to start the evening and set the tone for exemplary service throughout. The menu isn't huge and I always think this is a good thing. Some sensational dishes being served up. A bite of chilli brocoli, tripled cooked chips and chicken souvlaki was one to savour. The lamb chops were melt in your mouth and the grilled squid was great. Star of the starter show was the hummus and tuna. Huge fan of the olives at the start and watermelon and grapes at the end both of which are comp. You're looking at around £40 pp without drinks and for me it's well worth it for the quality, service and ambience

    Incredible celebratory dinner with the family - the food was amazing (very fresh and tasty), perfect for sharing and the service was highly attentive and very friendly. Definitely an instant local favourite! Thank you to the whole team at Odos for the wonderful treat! They make each and every guest feel special.

    This was a delicious meal! Meat was tender and soft, the courgette feta balls were a personal highlight! However nothing could prepare for the desert!!! The baked cheesecake was SUBLIME. The donuts were thick crunchy balls & the pistachio crème brûlée whilst not for me as I’ve a sweet tooth my friend LOVED it! All in all a fantastic evening. Also love the tree my friend Steph is going to put one in her flat.

    We came here for lunch on a special occasion. We had souvlaki pork, chicken, pomegranate, green salad, hummus, pitta and feta deep fried in honey. The highlight was the deep fried feta and surprisingly the grilled pomegranate. This is certainly some of the finest Greek food I’ve eaten outside of Greece. Nothing really to fault. Will be coming back again.

    Wonderful lunch celebrating a big birthday, food fantastic as always and service impeccable especially as there was a large group of us. They really went above and beyond with my toddler, entertaining him and even giving him a chef’s hat. They were so friendly and it really took the stress out of dining with a little one because they were so hospitable. Thank you and we can’t wait to come back again.

    tremendous service, exquisite food , all round 10/10, couldn’t recommend enough. I am so pleased that this is my local restaurant as I will be coming here regularly . The chips are especially incredible!!!

    Best service I’ve had in a long time. Really lovely restaurant. Enjoyed my lamb chops and the rice pudding was very good. I don’t think it’s hygienic though to have high chairs in the toilet. I wouldn’t come here with my baby now knowing that

    A delightful restaurant: the food was tasty and fresh to the table. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere happy and relaxed. A great evening out. Well worth it.

  • 5/5 Stephen P. 1 year ago on Google
    First and foremost the food was awesome. All four of us shared starters and deserts, and sampled each other's mains - everything was VERY good. The service was also extremely efficient, attentive and warm. A really nice ambience, with plenty of space between tables, and located in a nice part of Barnet. We will most definitely be going back.

    I love this place it never fails to satisfy and the team are always super enthusiastic and friendly. Any issues are sorted without problem. And the huge plus is that it is local

    Simply put, one of the best restaurants in the greater London area…drove an hour to try due to the high score and worth the drive! Louis is the most kind man also…made a table for us even though the restaurant was completely full. Thank you! A must visit for all! Thank you!!

    A large group of 30 of us came this evening and we could not fault the service or the food. Everything was outstanding. Thank you for an excellent evening!

    Buzzy place. Food very good although my prawns were slightly overcooked but I guess better than under. Yellowfin tuna starter was delicious. Good place to go. Not cheap especially with decent wine but worth the visit.

    We had our office party at the restaurant and I cannot recommend it enough. The food was superb, the team were exceptionally helpful and the atmosphere was excellent. Thank you for a great night!!!

    Great food coupled with great service. Really felt like the waiters and owner cared about our experience. Highly recommended and will be returning very soon.

  • 5/5 Steve H. 1 year ago on Google
    Out with a friend on Wednesday evening and decided to find a restaurant to eat. Everywhere seemed deserted except this place - and the reason was obvious. Excellent food with extremely helpful service plus the place was immaculately clean. Will definitely be returning.

    I just had dinner at Odos, and it was absolutely fantastic. A lovely clean and modern environment, the staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful. The portions were very generous and the price for a restaurant of this standard was very good. As a vegan, I was a little worried that the menu was mainly meat and fish, but I needn't have been. I had the hummus for starters, which came with plenty of toasted pita. Now I'm something of a hummus aficionado, and even I'd rate the Odos hummus as outstanding. For my main I had the smoked cauliflower with tahini and pomegranate, which was just gorgeous, and some chips. The chips were done to perfection, and about the size of railway sleepers. My partner had the sea bream, which she loved. Seriously, I can't recommend this place enough. Will definitely be going back.

    First let's start with the good! The aubergine starter was Amazingly good! Octopus was very tender and tasty too. The fish for two fresh, well cooked falling off the bone flavour, prawns with orzo another good dish, orzo a touch bland but spiced it up a touch with some chili. Dessert! Yes please! So after such a great meal I order galadoboureko for a couple of us to share, what I wasn't expecting was a fried piece of filo dough with a dab of cream on the top and bottom the flower added a nice touch but seriously where was Dessert? I gave 5 stars food was amazing and fresh but note to chef rethink the galadoboureko no matter what spin you put on it!!! We dine at restaurants like Odos expecting to pay a pretty penny for a complete experience that includes Dessert.

    Lovely restaurant with great food. If you’re a fan of pork you will love the Tomahawk. The staff are super friendly and were even kind enough to give us an umbrella when we were caught short in the rain with a long walk back. We will definitely be going again.

  • 5/5 Andy P. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing! Great quality, fresh ingredients based on Mediterranean style dishes. The main man (Chef Tim) produces nothing but high quality food and all served with love by Louis, one of the owners. This is by far one of North Londons finest eateries. Great decor and ambience. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Alessandro M. 2 years ago on Google
    Grilled squids and octopus were tender and tasty. Service was great too. Highly recommended. Ps: the Italian dessert "Zeppola" is not what Italians would expect.

  • 5/5 Nicola F. 2 years ago on Google
    We have visited Odos for the past two weekends for Birthdays and on both occasions the food was exceptional. The menu is perfect with a great choice. A really comfortable environment with a wonderful atmosphere. The service was fantastic and we will definitely be back very soon! Thank you so much Odos for making both Birthdays perfect.

  • 5/5 Mace H. 2 years ago on Google
    After discovering this place in my local area I've already been back a number of times and introduced lots of friends to it. Service is fantastic, food is really good and of a high quality really fresh. Highly recommended. Honestly feels like a high end place you find in Central London. Enough options to eat and doesn't break the budget.

  • 5/5 Nick P. 2 years ago on Google

    Had a great experience here. The staff were very friendly and attentive and despite it being busy we did not have a long wait for the food. I had the chicken livers for starters, absolutely delicious. For mains I had the pork tomahawk, it is a lot of meat, loin and belly, and very tasty. We were given a complimentary fruit bowl which was very refreshing. Including drinks, two sides, coffee and service (a modest 10% was added to the bill) the total charge was £109 for two. I thought it was excellent value given the quality of the food and the excellent service.
