Aviv Restaurant sits on Edgware’s High Street as a straightforward spot serving kosher cuisine with a focus on hearty, meat-centric dishes that appeal to both regular locals and special occasion diners. It’s the kind of place where families and friends might gather to celebrate an event or simply enjoy a substantial meal in a relaxed yet attentive setting.

The atmosphere leans towards refined casual dining—nothing overly formal but clearly aiming for quality and a warm welcome. It’s a restaurant that can handle busy nights, like Valentine’s Day, without losing the personal touch. Staff are described as friendly and accommodating, lending a familiar vibe that makes guests feel at home, whether they’re there for a quiet dinner or a festive party.

Aviv’s menu is notable for its generous portions, especially around the steaks and mixed grill offerings, which seem popular among customers. Options such as the Rib Eye Steak (28 days aged, 550 grams) and BBQ Spare Ribs are standouts for those wanting classic, satisfying kosher fare. There’s enough variety for meat lovers to sample different cuts and preparations, while a handful of vegetarian starters provide alternatives—though main courses are largely meat-focused.

Desserts like Mango Mousse Pavlova, Hot Chocolate Volcano, and Sticky Toffee Pudding offer a sweet finish that many visitors appreciate, balancing the rich mains with lighter, fruitier or indulgently chocolatey choices. This mix suggests a menu designed to cover comfort food alongside some refined touches.

People tend to come here when they want a dependable kosher meal that doesn’t feel like a concession to cost or quality. It makes for a good stop if you’re after a meaty feast and attentive service without venturing far from Edgware’s center. The slightly higher price point noted by some reflects the portion sizes and quality, positioning Aviv as a reliable choice for celebrations or weekday dinners that feel a bit more special.

In summary:

  • Best for hearty, meat-first kosher dining with consistent, friendly service
  • Ideal for families, couples, and local groups marking special events as well as casual dinners
  • Evenings and weekends showcase the livelier atmosphere and fuller menus, perfect for social meals
  • Atmosphere is relaxed but intentional, balancing quality with a comfortable, down-to-earth feel

I don't normally write a review whilst still in the restaurant but whilst I'm absolutely blown away I wanted to give credit where credit is due. The food is phenomenal in both quality and quantity- tonight is Valentine's Day and I have both love for my husband and for the incredible food I have just finished. Fine dining at affordable costs, delicious kosher food different to the bog standard schnitzel and shwarma you tend to get in kosher restaurants in London- amazing menu choices. I have no room for dessert but the menu looks tempting... will get dessert next time as I definitely will be back. Aviv, thank you for the best food and service! Consider me a repeat customer. Highly recommend this restaurant.

The food in this place is a problem, and I mean that in all the best ways possible. Delicious. Service is great with a plethora of menu items to choose from. You should come here.

A great meal offering quality and great value. The menu has a large choice. It's a meaty restaurant but has dishes (unfortunately only one main course) suitable for vegetarians but a large choice of suitable starters.

We were there for a golden wedding and 70th birthday party. We had bbq spare ribs to start then rib eyed steak and mixed grill with a Peppermint tea to finish. Lovely friendly staff.

I don’t usually write reviews while still sitting in the restaurant, but I’m so blown away that I had to give credit where it’s due. The food here is nothing short of phenomenal—both in quality and quantity. It’s Valentine's Day, and I must say, I’m feeling love not just for my husband but also for the incredible meal I’ve just enjoyed. This is fine dining at affordable prices, offering delicious kosher food that’s a refreshing change from the usual schnitzel and shawarma you find at kosher restaurants in London. The menu is diverse and exciting. Although I have no room left for dessert, the menu looks incredibly tempting, and I will definitely save space next time—because I will be back! Special thanks to Aviv for the impeccable service and making this such a memorable evening. Consider me a repeat customer. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and a fantastic dining experience!

This is one place where you just can't go wrong. I've been coming here for 20 plus years I've never come out disappointed or Hungry! Portions are generous and delicious. Now even have aged steaks. Prices are very reasonable.
