Cristina's Kitchen

The prices at this restaurant are reasonable and they have a great variety of fresh salads. Their jacket potatoes come in generous portions, and they offer a wide selection of cakes. I would suggest this café to friends looking for a quick coffee or a place to have lunch. Parking is complimentary, just make sure to register at the front desk. The staff is helpful and welcoming.

I never would have expected to find a restaurant of such high quality in Barking. It's definitely worth a visit if you're able to get a table. I recommend trying to make a reservation in advance.

I attend CU London Uni and I visit Cristinas daily. The two women working behind the counter are wonderful and always go the extra mile to assist customers. They even write inspiring messages on the lids of the hot drinks in the mornings. Although we don't see the chefs, I want to give them a big thank you as well. Instead of bringing in a big chain to provide us with fast, unhealthy food at high prices, they offer us high-quality, freshly cooked meals at a fraction of the cost. The salad bar is colorful and creative, and the fresh cakes and brownies are delicious. It's the perfect pick-me-up after a long lecture. The cleanliness of the restaurant is impressive, with gleaming surfaces, tables, and cutlery. Everything is well-stocked, so you never have to ask for sugar or napkins. It's a hidden gem of a restaurant, and even though I'm a local, I will continue to visit even after the school year ends.

I go to CU London and the food and drinks are so nice. There hot chocolate and Brownies are to die for! Love it!
