The Union Tavern - (Near Camden, london)

is I visited Kintan recently. I’m Japanese, and I was really impressed with how delicious the yakiniku was. The meat, miso soup and rice all had a wonderfully nostalgic, “home-style” taste for me. The restaurant is spacious, clean and comfortable, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. They also offer halal meat and are careful about allergies, so I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who’s interested.

Paul Beaman Bit like a school canteen. Fine for breakfast but lacks atmosphere as a restaurant. Understaffed meaning the only person serving was doing everything. Had the offer 2 steaks and a bottle of wine but they did not have any house red. Disappointing.

Ameera Shafique Pitted Olive has been our go-to spot for years now. We first happened to come across it a few years ago and ever since, it’s become our ritual stop before catching a flight — it’s so conveniently close to King’s Cross and the perfect way to start a holiday. This review is definitely overdue, especially considering how often we come here, but honestly every single visit has been superb. I almost always order the beef moussaka lunch, which comes with bulgur rice and mezze — so, so good. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, full of flavour, and because it’s already prepared and kept warm, it comes out super quickly (ideal when you’re on a bit of a time crunch). My only tiny moan (and it really is tiny) is that the refillable water glasses are on the smaller side — we drink a lot of water with our food, so we found ourselves taking turns getting refills. But honestly, that’s hardly a dealbreaker. Consistently great food, quick service, and a reliable favourite. We’ll keep coming back!!

nameless Amazing price for value, especially the taste and amount of food given!! Highly recommended. Only £7.50 for an enormous chicken tikka jacket potato with very generous amount of meat. The staff are quite welcoming and friendly as well, and the atmosphere is great. Theres no upcharge for eating in vs takeout orders too. Absolutely recommended

Joanna Dick We have eaten here twice this week as the food was so good. Delicious home cooked food and very friendly staff. The deal with salad and wine is great value and the lasagne is to die for. First ate here 2 years ago and it’s still as good. We will be back.

Mihaela D A lovely place to have a dinner date, but also works for larger groups. We tried the chicken livers and spicy prawns for starters and we loved both. For mains, we opted for a steak with pepper sauce with fried zucchini and veal milanese with spaghetti carbonara which were delicious. For dessert, a tiramisu - to die for. Service was impeccable. I would recommend and would surely try again.
