Mesis Kitchen - (Near Islington, South East)

Dominic Fountaine This is by far the best and most authentic Thai food I have experienced in the UK! My wife is half Thai and has lived there and even she was amazed at some of the dishes available here that we havent found anywhere else except Thailand itself. Its a BYOB, which we didnt mind at all. There is a corkage fee but it wasnt over the top by any means. The staff were lovely and were very quick to accommodate anything we asked for, including things like providing small bowls so we could share a larger soup like a starter and other random requests. If you are a fan of Asian food or especially Thai food and can get over to this restaurant I cannot recommend it enough! The venue is small, however, so its best to book in advance as theres no guarantee you could get a table otherwise.

nadir dafalla Absolutely amazing Ethiopian restaurant! The food was delicious, full of authentic flavors, and everything was perfectly prepared. The service was truly outstanding — very warm, polite, and welcoming. You can really feel the care and hospitality. Definitely deserves 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

C hi You have to go to the junction! Great food at good prices! Loads of vegan options and great atmosphere. I got the vegan gyros on a plate from Come & Go Souvlaki. It was Amazing! The staff were kind and let me know all the vegan options. Im so grateful im definitely going again.

ziang Guo We ordered a lot of skewers and honestly, everything was solid. The lamb skewers had the perfect fat-to-lean ratio — juicy, tender, and not dry at all. The grilled smelt was lightly crispy on the outside, soft inside, and packed with roe, very satisfying. Tofu skin rolls are always my go-to, and these were fragrant and great for cutting through all the meat. I’m usually sensitive to offal, but the grilled kidneys had zero smell and were surprisingly flavourful. The lamb chops are a must-order. The portion was huge, the meat tasted fresh and natural (not overly marinated), with crispy edges and a tender inside — pure lamb flavour. One surprise highlight was the small pot beef rice noodles. The beef was generous, the broth rich and comforting, and it paired perfectly with the BBQ.
