Armando Reviews

1 out of 10 stars

This was the worst kosher restaurant we have ever been to & we never got to eat anything as we walked out minutes after the owner starting insulting us. All fish options & most of the regular meat options where not available all but the well presented EXPENSIVE beef alternatives had been offered to us & when we questioned the limited menu we were made to feel like we are being cheap. The owner accused us of being arrogant & was rude enough to comment we should go elsewhere, my pregnant wife was disgusted by the owners attitude considering our party of four were the only customers in the restaurant. From one kosher eater to another - STAY AWAY, there are many better Kosher places to enjoy the atmosphere & menu.

Armando is one of the best restaurant i've ever experienced, the food is so immaculately fresh and well prepared, allthogh some dishes where not available on the menu thats understandable considering i have being told that this restaurant is after the freshest daily produce available,and it also provides a few daily specials. The place and the people looked to me very clean, i could even seethe chef cooking all the way into the kitchen thanks to a large open window. Although its Golders Green Road the atmosphere is trendy with a posh feel to it and after paying just 25 pounds average a person for a delicious sushi appetiser, a half kilo rib steak so tender and perfectly cooked and a drink i consider that around here good value for my money. I'll certainly be back!!

The restaurant is small & intimate, modern decor.
The staff are moody.
Hygiene is questionable- we saw the sushi chef use his mobile phone with his cooking gloves on.
Nearly 1/2 the menu was unavailable (told to us in no apologetic way whatsoever).
The sushi was good, although none of the meat sushi was available.
The steak ordered arrived a few mins before the condiments & chips, but tasted great.
The chicken was black & burnt on the outside & slightly raw in the middle, but owner was adamant it was just 'grilled' on outside & the 'bones' on inside & also stated 'there is nothing else' to be served. Nice that.
