Halal Reviews for Cristina's Barking

Had a great meal at Cristina’s Steakhouse in Barking! The sirloin platter was cooked perfectly; juicy, full of flavour, and served right on time. Their; The Mess Burger, which was delicious and well put together. Big thanks to Edith for her excellent service; friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommded!

One of the best steaks I’ve ever had — absolutely outstanding! Came back not just for the steak, but also to try the burger and the brisket mac n’ cheese—and wow, everything was so good! Totally worth the trip. The food does take a little time to come out, but honestly, it’s worth the wait once you take that first bite. The service was way better this time too, the lady helping us was super polite and really nice.

Enjoyed our evening here. Smash burger- delicious. Rump (medium) steak- a bit chewy. And my sirloin (medium rare with just the right amount of fat)- excellent. Fries were great too. Strictly speaking, a 4.5 would be fairer. But it was the teenager with the rump steak, and she loves steaks- so she was disappointed and that was enough to reduce by 1 star.

So I’m being quite generous here. For YEARS I’ve been wanting to come here my family have always hyped it up hence why I feel as though I’m being generous with the rating as they all were adamant something went wrong. We spent about £350 no was was really full as most of the steak was waaayyyy to hard! Regardless of it being medium. There was no taste to the steak. However I must say the burgers were yummy! I’m not sure what happened on this particular day maybe it was too busy or something. Food looks great when it comes out was super excited only to be deflated quite quick. I am still adamant to have a better experience with food here so really trying to persuade myself to go back but it’s quite a long drive for me to get there so outweighing all factors. Customer service once you got their attention was great so thank you. I am one to always voice my opinion on food on the day face to face however I did not get this opportunity as it was busy.

Food is excellent. The service is poor, waited over an hour for our food. Once food came items were missing. And when we asked and received the missing items. No explanation just placed on the table and walked off. There was only 8 customers on 2 tables other than us in the restaurant. So not wasn't even that busy to merit the waiting time.
