Restaurants in Brent Cross and Hendon
Shake Shack Brent Cross
Unit S04 Brent Cross Shopping Centre, LondonCame here for the first time today with my mother as we were both hungry and looking for something to eat. I had heard great things about Shake Shack from friends who had tried it before. When we walked in, the atmosphere was very clean and pleasant. We ordered 2 single cheeseburgers, along with fries and a single Diet Coke. The lady serving us, Antoneta, was very friendly and patient while taking our order at the till. The wait time for the food wasn’t too long. When the food arrived it was fresh and good quality. Overall, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely recommend Shake Shack as a great place to dine with friends and family.

Pizaza
53 Brent St, LondonIt's a great park with three ponds and a great variety of water and other birds. It's rare but I saw a cormorant, shag, swimmong under the water for fish in the big pond once. There is a path that goes right round all three ponds and one that goes straight tjroigh the park from the bottom of Bell Lane to the North Circular, close to the bottom of Brent Street and Golders Green.Road.

Amaretto Ristorante Pizzeria Hendon
17 Central Circus, LondonI’ve been coming to Amaretto for a long time now, and honestly, it’s become the Italian restaurant for me. The atmosphere is always warm, relaxed and genuinely welcoming, and the food is consistently delicious — hot, fresh, and clearly cooked to order.
One of the biggest things that sets Amaretto apart is how fresh everything really is. My mum can’t have garlic, and in most restaurants that’s impossible to work around because they batch-cook. Here, they simply leave it out. That kind of flexibility only happens when the kitchen is truly cooking dishes from scratch.
Over the years I’ve tried most of the menu, and everything has been excellent. Recently, for health reasons, I can only eat fish and vegetables — and even now, Amaretto is the only restaurant I still eat in. Their tuna steak, spinach, and roasted vegetables are outstanding. Fresh, flavourful, and perfectly prepared every time.
I also want to mention the owner — I don’t know his name, but he has a magnificent beard and is genuinely one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. The whole team creates a lovely, easygoing atmosphere that makes you want to keep coming back. I always sit at the table by the fridge; it’s become “my” spot.
Before I started coming in person, I used to order from Amaretto on Just Eat and Uber Eats. The portions were huge and the food travelled really well — another sign of how good their cooking is. But now I mainly eat in, because nothing beats the experience of being there.
To the owner and staff: thank you for all the wonderful meals and the lovely memories attached to this place. In my view, Amaretto is the best Italian restaurant in London — and I’ve been to a lot of them. I recommend it to anyone.
I honestly thought I’d already left a review, but I think the one I left was on Just Eat — so I’m correcting that now by leaving a proper Google review.

White Fish
10-12 Bell Ln, LondonWe love White Fish, its our go-to for the best fish and chips around. So it was the obvious choice to cater for our simcha. They were really easy to deal with and food was delivered to our venue on time and hot. The one downside was the portions were huge so we had a lot left over ... but can you really ever have too much fish and chips?? Thank you

Kanteen
Unit Z2, Prince Charles Dr, Brent Cross, LondonThe food is amazing!!! I ordered a fish burger and it came moderately slowly but it was impeccable when it comes to taste! The chips were fried to perfection and the sauce they came with was garlicky and rich. Our whole tables food came at the same time which is great in my books and at the end we got iced coffee which was creamy and one of the best I’ve had in a long time. We came in the night so the atmosphere was dark and calm and there were roses on every table.
Kid-friendliness: They have an amazing kids meal which is priced at £11.95 for warm toasted bagels, butter and veggies for the first course, and a meal of your choice for entree and a scoop of ice cream for dessert. Amazingly priced for what it is

Nando's Brent Cross
Shopping Centre, Unit R1a, Prince Charles Dr, Brent CrossI came with my kids and even though it was busy the staff made space for us to get a decent table with space for the buggy. You have to order the food using the QR code and the signal was poor, but there’s free WIFI. The food arrived quickly and several members of team were helpful coming up to offer crayons, check back and bring sauces and a glass and straw. I found the staff had great energy and the food was the usual standard at Nando’s. The only thing I would change is being able to have the veggie wrap in a burger bun instead.

Caffè Nero
C/O Fenwicks, Brent Cross Shopping Centre, Brent Cross, LondonLovely place of course, but I’m here to come praise lady working there called Blerta! I have met my dear friend for lunch today and we had some very expensive valuables in paper bag which my friend forgot at the counter when she placed the order. I can’t believe this happened to us! But Blerta found the bag and returned to us! I just can’t believe it, such honest lady and I’m so grateful, this bag could have been easily misplaced or someone else could have just taken it. Thank you so much for your honesty! Really appreciate it ?

Original Lahore Restaurant & Takeaway
148, 150 Brent St, LondonOverall, it was pretty good, and I would happily come here again. As a previous critic pointed out, the karahi ghost just lacked a bit of flavour to it. It certainly looked good and smelt good but just didn't thrill me. So hopefully, the chef reads this review. Anyway, apart from that, everything else that was ordered was spot on. The service was also very good and the dining area was clean. Definitely worth a try.

Krispy Kreme Brent Cross
Kiosk 3 West Mall Brent Cross Shopping Centre, LondonDonuts are great, very fresh most of the time. Giving 4 stars, because when they’re not fresh (and staff knows about it) they never give a deal or a little discount. However, I do recommend them!

Costa Coffee
The Burroughs, LondonPlace was under repair . But it doesn’t deter from accepting customers. Coffee variants , juices and sodas are options. Sandwiches and pastries are the food choices. Polite staff. No pressure for overstaying guests.

Pret A Manger
Unit R2, Brent Cross Shopping Centre, Prince Charles Dr, Brent Cross, LondonMy double espresso decafe was very good. Much better than I'd expect from a chain. My cookie was also excellent. My compainion's coffee was also good. And my cookie was excellent. It's only 4 rather than 5 stars because it took a long time. They were very busy and run off their feet. An extra service person would make a world of difference.

Walli's
10a, Sutton Parade, Church Rd, LondonAmith is a very kind and professional gentleman. After I placed an order for delivery which never arrived because the driver from Just Eat took it, I called the shop trying to find out what happened and get some sort of answer and my food. I spoke to Amith which tried to contact Just Eat and ask about my order but because the waiting time was long he offered to cook the whole order again and find another driver to deliver it to me. He didn't had to do it, he could've just told me to wait for Just Eat to reply but instead he was kind, he understood what happened and he offered to help and send the order again. I am really grateful for such a lovely gesture and I appreciate his hard work, his professionalism and the way he was efficient in sorting this issue out. Thank you very much Amith!

McDonald's
Brent Cross Shopping Centre, Prince Charles Dr, Brent Cross, LondonNice quiet and relaxed on a Friday lunchtime.
Fries were slightly cold but the customer service in the actual restaurant was great. Anca is an absolute credit to this team. She was friendly and caring and proactive at helping people. Thank you for your care and attention when I had to wrangle my toddler and keep an eye on collecting my food order (unfortunately, I wasn't asked if I wanted table service at the serviced kiosk). Anca took my order number and helped me collect and deliver my tray to our table, offered to get a high chair, and generally checking in on us.
