The best kosher restaurants in Golders Green and Hendon in 2026 are Novellino for dairy Italian, Kaifeng for kosher Chinese in Hendon, Pukush for fire-grilled Israeli meat, Tuk Tuk for South-East Asian, and Kasa Bar & Grill in Hampstead Garden Suburb for a sit-down grill.

Golders Green Road, Brent Street in Hendon and the parades of Temple Fortune hold most of London's kosher restaurants.

All close for Shabbat, from Friday afternoon until Saturday night, and many reopen after Shabbat ends, especially in winter. Every entry below names its supervising authority and whether it is meat or dairy, but always check the certificate in the window, as licences change.
