FKABAM is a place for fun. We take our food seriously, but not ourselves. Tables are close together, and the atmosphere is loud and vibrant. Reservations are available four weeks in advance for parties of 1 to 4 guests. For parties larger than this, please email info@blackaxemangal.com

We keep a few spaces free for walk-ins as first come first served.

We serve an A La Carte menu which is published on our Instagram @fkablackaxemangal. Limited numbers of new and old fave dishes will be available to add to your meal each night. We also have options for vegetarian/vegan diners available upon request as well as some Gluten Free options. All members of your party must eat.

Please note our cancellation policy and do not ask us to waiver fees if you forget to cancel within the time frame.

    Spectacular brunch, four of us sharing. Wanted everything - ended up having several things twice. Vietnamese eggs splendid, the breadMac (“Return of the Mac”) a work of genius and the banana ‘pancake’ banging. Thanks so much!

    What a great night! We have been dying to come here for years and it didn’t disappoint. Really knockout food, sensational flavours and vibrant presentation. Knowledgeable and entertaining staff, lovely smooth service and a fantastic drinks list. The table next to us were also having a brilliant time and said they go there often. We will be back soon too!

    Great food. Really original. A special place. Small. A bit noisy. But great if you’re up for a fun, tasty night.

    Place is very loud. Difficult to have a conversation. Toilet is claustrophobic. Food is good but is not worth the price. Poor service. We were a group of two with a reserved table. When we finished our main, we were asked to move to the bar to have our dessert because they reserved the table for another group and our time was up. They could have served the mains before, which would give us time to eat our desserts without any inconvenience. They are not well organised.
