About Deserie Restaurant

Deserie Restaurant is a Greek restaurant at 13-14 Cockfosters Parade in Barnet, serving a menu rooted in Greek cooking across dine-in and takeaway formats. The kitchen focuses on grilled and oven-prepared dishes, with a spread of mezze, mains, and sides that suits both quick meals and larger shared dining.

Customer Review Summary

Diners consistently praise the food at Deserie Restaurant, with the grilled octopus and mixed meze singled out as standouts, alongside generous portions and authentic Cypriot flavours. The staff earn repeated commendations for being friendly and welcoming, with several reviewers highlighting thoughtful gestures like singing happy birthdays and offering gluten-free alternatives. A few note the free fresh fruit served without asking. However, a recurring complaint centres on service, with some diners describing waiting staff as unfriendly or rude, and one reviewer reporting a disappointing lamb dish that lacked flavour and a mix-up with a takeaway order of calamari.

    I've visited Desiree a couple of times and, overall, my experience has been fairly mixed. The food itself is okay and perfectly acceptable, but unfortunately the service has let the experience down on both occasions. I found some of the waiting staff to be quite unfriendly, and at times their manner came across as rude rather than welcoming. Good customer service can make a huge difference to a dining experience, and unfortunately this is an area where I feel significant improvement is needed. While the food wasn't bad, the combination of average food and disappointing service means I would probably choose one of the many other restaurants in the local area instead. I hope the management take customer feedback on board, as a more friendly and attentive approach from staff would greatly improve the overall experience. Nevertheless, the group I was doing, we still had a cracking evening sometimes it’s just comes down to the company with.

    We have now been to Deserie for both Business and for a family function. The food is amazing and for what you get very good value, the staff are so friendly and helpful. We have traveled well out of our way to go and we'll certainly be going back again soon!

    I was there on 20th December and was very much looking forward to it with my family only to be disappointed. I saw the lamb on the spit roast and was looking forward to it and also my other son ordered it as he likes it to ,but the lamb was disappointing it lacked flavour and didn't really have a nice lean and the fat tasted salty instead fat tasting juicy from the skin. We also ordered calameries which were nothing special. When I paid cash I was expecting a bit of change back but no one come bk even though we paid 23 pounds or so in service charges. We got the calameries to go in a box and when we opened the calameries there were 4 short then when we gave back the plates,which was surprising. I was recommended by someone who goes often he was surprised by my experience

    The best there is! From the staff to the food, true Cyprus in a Uk Resteraunt. Anyone who says otherwise is simply wrong! Free fresh fruit without even asking!
