Best Authentic Restaurants in Highbury

We had a dinner booked for 7.30pm they were running late with service but I have to say we hardly noticed the pub had an amazing atmosphere the staff are very attentive and apologetic, they took a drinks round off the bill for the long wait. The food was amazing I had the monk fish tail and my husband had the pork loin absolutely delicious. You must try the beef fat popcorn omg it’s very tasty they should sell bags of this loved it. We will definitely e back can’t wait to sample the Sunday dinner.

I had the pleasure of dining at this incredible restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience. The risotto was simply exquisite, cooked to perfection with a creamy texture and rich, well-balanced flavors. The highlight, however, was the lobster — prepared with such skill and attention to detail that every bite was a delight. The freshness of the seafood and the artistry in the presentation truly set this dish apart. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance made the meal even more enjoyable. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience!

The food is of a quality found in almost no other Turkish restaurant in London. Prepared with absolute care and flair with exquisite taste. Intimate atmosphere with very unique decor and really great service. Definitely worth the (nice) walk from Highbury & Islington

Had heard good things, but was truly blown away by the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. Everything we tried was truly exceptional and I cannot wait for an excuse to go back and try the rest of the menu!

delicious! never eaten afghan food before - it didn't disappoint - the chicken karahi and 'national' dish were sensational. super tasty, large portions. we started with the dumplings which were also great and a huge nan bread. the owner sent lots of time with us explaining the food and background to these dishes. all around great evening. thoroughly recommend
