"The new lunch menu isn 't great, I loved the old one where you could get a smashed cheeseburger and fries for £7/8. I ordered recently, had the chicken thigh burger, which there were several issues with unfortunately. The menu states that your meals will come with fries, they don 't, everything comes with croquette potatoes/tater tots. Whatever you want to call them, they are not fries, and Christina 's fries were one of the best things about the place before! Also, half of mine were cold and slightly stale after obviously being kept in the new warmers they have out front. Your new style of service is very strange, where the person is out front and all the food is pre-cooked and kept in pots. The fact I was there for nearly 40 mins and saw the server never change his gloves and touch multiple meats and containers was strange too, especially when he 's also preparing vegetarian options alongside the meat. Unfortunately, my chicken was dry in places and although the flavours were good, it wasn 't hot. The burger was also drowned in coleslaw, which although I like it, doesn 't have to be heaped on the burger so much. Also, sorry but at £11 £4 higher than the previous lunch deal) I think I would go elsewhere. I don 't mind paying that much if I feel I am getting fresh, hot food and good value, but with food that isn 't hot and isn 't as described, I wouldn 't pay that much. It 's a shame, as Christina 's has been somewhere I have enjoyed going to in the past. Seen the reply below, sorry I should have been more explicit, the food was mostly terrible and mostly cold. Why would I give it another go when you couldn 't even get the basics right, like ensuring food is hot? The server didn 't change his gloves, but agree that he wasn 't preparing the vegetarian dishes out front, so I was wrong about that. However, £11 isn 't competitive at all, when I can literally go to Ripple road for a sit in Turkish grill for £7... ‍"

Great and tasty steak perfectly cooked. Not cheap, but reasonably priced for the quality, and nice having such a restaurant in Barking for that special occasion. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

The restaurant offers a good variety of delicious food and has friendly staff. However, they have a limited selection of drinks. I suggest adding lighter and more popular beer options instead of small cans and foreign wheat beers, as they can be heavy and expensive. The service was for dinner. Voir le carte

We frequently order from this restaurant because it has some of the best burgers in the area. This time, we had the pleasure of dining in and enjoying a delicious steak. The service was excellent, with a rating of 5 out of 5. The atmosphere was also top-notch, receiving a rating of 5 out of 5. Overall, a great experience.

Atmosphere was nice and staff were friendly. But the food was disappointing. The brisket was so dry and the bun was hard and crusty, just fell apart. The fries were just basic tasting and such a small portion. If you want something soft, juicy and succulent, this is not it. £11 for that, supposed to be a cheaper lunch menu, oh and they want a service charge for that too! Sorry but I cannot recommend. Service: Dine in

Travelled from outside of London, been meaning to try this joint for a long time. Had a wonderful evening with friends and great food. Staff were attentive, service with a smile by Catherine. Steaks were excellent and cooked to perfection medium. One of the best steaks I’ve had. Did ask for rib eye I think I received a fillet but that is ok I enjoyed it and will be coming back again. Creamed spinach was delightful. Cheeseburger spring rolls could’ve been bigger but it was delicious. Voir le carte

I've been going to Cristinas for years and every time I go they never disappoint. they change their menu year round but there's always a good selection and whatever you have it's cooked so well and is so tasty. simple things like coleslaw there is amazing, you can't go wrong with whatever you pick from their menu; whether it's brisket, chicken thighs, burgers or cheese burger spring rolls they do everything so well. It's because of their high standard on classic british dishes they've remained open for so long. Today, I saw the chef walk out in his 0% vegan t-shirt and it just made me smile, it represents the chefs style and Cristina's so well. They know how to treat their meat and how to se...

After hearing about the menu update, I decided to revisit Cristina's for a meal. Compared to my previous visits a couple of months ago, they now had a wider selection of smoked brisket on the menu. I sampled the brisket burnt ends and the dino ribs (not for sharing) from my friends, both of which were delicious. The dino ribs were a bit unconventional with the chocolate BBQ sauce, but the meat was tasty enough on its own. The burnt ends were slightly dry, but would have been elevated with a sauce. For my main dish, I chose the bone marrow, which had a fresh and citrusy flavor from the herbs mixed in, along with the rich and creamy taste of the marrow. I opted for the classic sirloin steak wi...

"Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! I don't generally like writing bad comments about places but I felt the need to as I wouldn't want anyone else to experience such bad service as I did. I went just before 8pm and was told to oder online instead. I was told that the food would be ready within 15 mins even though the email said 25 mins. It gets to 8.30pm and I get told by the receptionist that they haven't started on my food yet as they are busy and that it would be another 10 mins. It gets to 8.45pm and she said oh they haven't started on your food yet. As anyone can imagine waiting nearly an hour is unacceptable especially when you have gone into order and collect! I decided by 9pm I had enough and wanted my refund, which then took another 30 mins to sort out. Absolutely shocking and unbelievable! A few other points to also mention: 1- The receptionists have 0 customer service experience and are very rude. 2- Another customer who had ordered online, called over the phone at least 3x times just to find out where their order was. They lied and said it was on the way when the order was just making its way out of the kitchen. Saddest part is that they were laughing about the customer in a very rude manner 3- Another customer came in and ordered 10 mins AFTER me and got his food within 15 mins or ordering! When I challenged them about it, they made up a pathetic excuse trying to say it was something else which didn't make sense. 4- Not even an apology. Poor customer service, and I would even go as far as to question the legality of their employees there, but that is a matter for the correct authorities to investigate. I would honestly Avoid this place and would not recommend it. Don't waste your time or money. There are lots of other honest, decent places."
