If you're looking for the perfect spot for a date night or a memorable evening with friends, this charming place is a must-visit. I went there with a couple of friends and was thoroughly impressed. We indulged in the espresso martini, which was incredibly good, and the food was nothing short of delicious. I particularly loved the lamb; it was so succulent!

Really wonderful and intimate small restaurant and bar. Very nice food and staff. Super friendly owner. Spent 4 hours eating and chatting with a friend, great vibes. Really lovely fresh bread and butter. Everything was very tasty and unique/creative. Same owners as Simit and Chai so definitely great food. Will be coming back.

Had an amazing experience here. My friend and I shared the borek and rack of lamb, and both were incredible! The French 75 cocktails were also fantastic. Greta atmosphere and the owner is extremely friendly.

Stumbled on this place. Cozy, chic, and laid back atmosphere with a Turkish inspired menu. Had the fried mussels, burger, and rack of lamb. Rack of lamb was cooked to perfection!! The host/owner was very attentive and checked on us regularly. He explained the dishes we ordered and told us they've only been open for two weeks! Delicious food, super friendly service and mo-town music playing in the background. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of their apps!! So happy we were able to enjoy before this place becomes a coveted hotspot! Thank you Barba for a great dining experience :)

Owner took great care of us when we turned up with our baby. He even provided makeshift toys to help keep our child distracted as we enjoyed the amazing cocktails. Service exemplary. Overall a fantastic experience!

Tried this quaint new place for drinks and small bites. Turkish-inspired menu is interesting and tasty, drawing on old family recipes of the owners. The wine list isn’t lengthy, but each has been thoughtfully selected to pair well with the cuisine. The staff is gracious and make you feel welcome is a cozy setting. Barba will be a regular stop for us in the future.
