Jason From North Attleboro Il Guscio Highbury is a fantastic Italian restaurant just a short walk from the Emirates Stadium. Whether youre an Arsenal fan or just in the area, this place is a must-visit. Carlos, the owner, is incredibly warm and welcoming — he makes you feel like youre stepping into his home, not just a restaurant. His hospitality really sets the tone for a great experience. The food is outstanding. Fresh, flavorful, and authentically Italian. You can tell every dish is made with care. From pasta to dessert, everything was delicious. The atmosphere is always lively, especially after a match. Its the perfect spot to relax, enjoy a great meal, and soak in the local vibe. Highly recommend Il Guscio — it’s one of those rare places that gets everything right.

James Gibson This place is brilliant. The lady host was INCREDIBLE. In a time where customer service is dying a death… this lady knows what she is doing. The food is super. The veal escalope was perfectly cooked and the spaghetti bolognese was fantastic. It’s reasonably priced and delicious.

Fabio Salimbeni We’ve been there for our anniversary, I asked for something special and they definitely delivered! They set a table in a nice location of the restaurant, they put peals on the table and they welcomed us by taking our coats and giving us a glass of Prosecco! The menu is big enough to satisfy every request. We ordered one starters each and a main course each and everything was delicious. They completed the celebrations for us by putting our desserts on a special plate with a song for the moment. The waiters were very nice and took good care of us! We really recommend this place!

Canonbury Carpentry Popped in Humdingers Highbury for the first time when I was working local to them. After looking at the menu I asked for a breakfast bun but was told they wasn’t cooking hot food at that time. However the staff were very helpful and pointed me in the direction of their pre-made sandwiches/rolls which they told they would heat up. Opted for a tuna roll, and an apricot pastry. The roll was fresh and extremely filling, the pastry was probably the best pastry I’ve ever had. £8 for the 2 items and drink, very reasonable for fresh delicious food that filled me up for the rest of the day. Will definitely be going back.

Yaseen The food at Mayhek was absolutely delicious every single dish was full of rich flavour and freshly made. We had a big variety (seafood, meat curries, naan, and vegetable dishes) and everything came out piping hot and beautifully spiced. The garlic naan was soft and fluffy, the curries were packed with depth, and the sizzling prawns were a highlight. The service was friendly and welcoming throughout the staff made sure we were looked after and topped things up quickly. The atmosphere is cosy with a nice cultural touch, making it a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy a proper meal. For me, this was a very satisfying dining experience. The food really stands out as one of the best Indian spots I’ve tried, and I would happily come back again. Definitely a place I’d recommend if you want authentic, flavourful dishes with great service.

Kathryn Sedgwick Fantastic, authentic Italian food, with the Ragu as the stand out dish. Friendly staff and a charming interior. Highley recommend.
