The Arena Club And Sports - Barnet

I was delighted to be able to watch both the IPL final and a football match I was invested in while enjoying some delicious chili paneer in a cozy atmosphere - life doesn't get any better than that.

My partner regularly goes to this restaurant with his friends for Indian meals, but I hadn't been in a few years. Recently, three of us went for dinner and I'm happy to say that everything is still good. The decor is okay, nothing special, just like before. The service was a bit slow due to being short-staffed, but the food was as delicious as ever. This time we had a meat-eater with us, so we ordered some non-vegetarian dishes along with the vegetarian ones. The vegetarian dishes like dhal, vegetable jalfrezi, and chili paneer were as tasty as I remembered. I mostly eat vegetarian but tried a bit of the chicken tikka and keema, and they were also very good. The service, though slow, was efficient and the server was funny (she was the only one working). Our bill came to GBP65 including sides like naan, rice, and a few drinks, with a tip included. Not bad at all.

Waited ages for the main meal after asking several times, finally asked for the bill and had to leave. Really disappointing and poor service. Recommend not to go here.

I’ve been here lots of times over the past nearly 5 years I have honestly never been disappointed. There’s something about the relaxed atmosphere, the pool table down one end the restaurant seating/tables down the other end. It never feels dark even though your at ground level and there’s only a few shallow windows. There’s a massive selection of drinks on offer. The staff are always super friendly. The food, oh the food! The food is absolutely on point! Always served piping hot, fresh and well presented plus really well priced! I highly recommend this place to anyone far and wide.

Top quality food and service staff are excellent and food is excellent best Indian food i have had in London
