Everyday Indian food for Barnet, whatever you eat

If you live in Barnet, the quickest route to a plate of dal makhani or a chicken kathi roll is on foot. We are on the same stretch of High Street as The Spires, a short walk down from St John the Baptist church, and about ten minutes from High Barnet station. Plenty of locals drop in at lunchtime, when brunch plates such as puri aloo, masala egg bhurji with Malabar paratha and aloo paratha are served until 3pm.

Dietary needs are where we try hardest. Because no nuts or seeds of any kind come into the kitchen, families managing a nut allergy can order without the usual long conversation about cross-contamination. Our meat is halal, so the butter chicken, lamb seekh kebab and chicken biryani all suit halal diners. Vegan and gluten-free guests have a good spread to choose from; tell us what you avoid when you book or order and the team will point you to the right dishes. Little ones get their own kids menu.

Not every evening is a night out. On busy weeknights many Barnet households order on Uber Eats or Deliveroo, or ring 07414 109555 to order ahead and pick up from the counter. Curries, biryanis and breads such as garlic naan travel well, and kadhai paneer with a cheese kulcha makes an easy sofa supper. Remember we are closed on Tuesdays; every other day we open at noon.

A nut- and seed-free kitchen

Nothing containing nuts or seeds is used anywhere in our kitchen, so Barnet families living with a nut allergy can choose from the full menu rather than a short list of safe dishes.

Halal meat across the menu

Every meat dish, from chicken lollipop to lamb chops and lamb rogan josh, is made with halal meat, which makes ordering simple for Muslim families and friends in Barnet.

Eat in, collect or delivered

Walk in from the High Street, phone ahead and collect, or use Uber Eats or Deliveroo. Delivery coverage depends on your exact address, so check the app before you order.

Questions from Barnet

Is there anywhere in Barnet that serves nut-free Indian food?

Yes. Chit Chaat at 135 High Street runs an entirely nut- and seed-free kitchen, so no nuts of any kind or seeds are used in any dish. It is one of the main reasons local families with allergies choose us. Do still mention any other allergy when you order so the team can advise you.

Do you have vegan options for a Barnet lunch?

We do. There are many vegan dishes across the chaats, tandoor and large plates. Tell the team you are vegan when you sit down or order and they will steer you to suitable choices. Lunch starts at 12:00 on weekdays except Tuesday, and from noon at weekends.

Can I order ahead and collect from the High Street?

Yes. Call 07414 109555 with your order and a pick-up time, then collect it from the restaurant. It suits people walking back from High Barnet station or finishing a shop at The Spires. You can also order delivery through Uber Eats or Deliveroo.

Is there a children's menu?

There is a kids menu for younger diners, and the nut- and seed-free kitchen gives parents extra peace of mind. Many families also share plates such as tandoori chicken, achari paneer tikka, masala fries and naan from the main menu, so everyone eats together.
