Il Guscio Highbury - (Near Islington, london)

CJ M A cosy and warm restaurant in Highbury. The staff are friendly, inviting, helpful and happy. The food - absolutely divine, cannot fault anything. We loved the prawn starter rolls, beef in black bean, jasmine rice and beef noodle pho (soup dish with noodles). You can also ring the restaurant, order and collect yourself (for a good price - said the waiter) OR Order through Uber/Deliveroo and pay their charges.

Peach P It was our first time at Farang, and we decided to go for the sharing menu…best decision ever! Every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The highlights for me were the cured sea trout with nahm yum and the whole sea bass with roti both perfectly balanced. The portions for everything was great and we left feeling really full.

Bernadett Balogh-Gál The best vegan burger so far I tried. Always friendly stuff, good service. The place is clean, kind of an industrial style. Love it!

Arianne Cook We had a very lovely evening celebrating my husband’s birthday. Overall, everything was great! The food was absolutely delicious. We were a group of five, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Everyone was very happy. We have been to this place a few times, and it is still one of our top restaurants in Barnet. Roxy and Laura were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We were very pleased with the service and truly appreciated the surprise candle and birthday greetings for my husband — such a thoughtful touch! I would definitely recommend this place. Well done!

shel Red The three-course Christmas meal was absolutely delicious and beautifully thought out from start to finish. The starter of portobello mushroom was rich, hearty, and perfectly cooked, offering deep, earthy flavours that set the tone for the rest of the meal. The main course, turkey, was wonderfully tender and full of traditional festive flavour. It was cooked to perfection, juicy and satisfying, and paired brilliantly with the accompanying elements to create a comforting and classic Christmas experience. To finish, the apple and strawberry crumble was a real highlight. The fruit was sweet and gently tangy, balanced perfectly by a golden, crumbly topping that added just the right amount of texture. It was a delightful and indulgent end to a fantastic meal. Overall, this three-course Christmas dinner was comforting, flavoursome, and thoughtfully prepared — a truly enjoyable festive treat that left everyone feeling content and well cared for.

Shan Good hearty food, decent portion sizes, good value for money. Chef has a good heart, a good soul and I feel comfortable eating from him since he has good energy and he pours this into the food he prepares. The food is always tasty and well seasoned, I find he balances the seasoning really well. Great little Caribbean takeaway spot if you want some actual hearty and healthy food. Compliments to the chef
