Nosh in Camden

Sign outside advertising food. Google reviews say "food is great". Tables inside eating good food. I ask for a table, i am told "no food". So: truth in advertising? Wtf? If you don't serve food, take the sign in. Went to the Lebanese bakery up the street, it was great.

The food was very good. Slow cooked lamb shoulder was delicious and tender. For mushroom risotto I liked it but I wish it had some more flavourful mushrooms in it. For the price, it felt cheaper mushrooms overpowered the dish and made it quite bland. The friend I went with was celiac and unfortunately the waitress wasn’t sure which dishes were GF and which ones weren’t. Thankfully the menu indicated the food which was not GF (the ones that were GF were left blank). This confused us about the desserts as it looked all desserts were GF using the same logic; however it wasn’t the case. Waitress didn’t know it either and first said a dish was GF then said it wasn’t. Unfortunately we had to cancel our dessert order. Other than that it was lovely, I’d visit again.

At first i was sceptical about this place, but gave it a try and didnt dissapoint a single bit. One of the best customer service in London, staff was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. I will come back here the next time i stay in London for sure, fully recommend at least trying it out.

From the minute we entered the restaurant to a totally lacklustre welcome we could tell it wasn’t going to be the special night out we had envisaged. The waitress really made us feel like we were a total inconvenience. She didn’t smile once during our visit. Without being personal one other member of staff was a very strange individual and very hard to understand. One main course was really disappointing and tasteless but we were afraid to say anything. If it wasn’t for the fact we were using a voucher that was near the expiry we would have left. Sadly we don’t get to meet up very often and left feeling really deflated. Safe to say we won’t be returning.

Visited as part of a day wandering around London and after a matinee show in the area. Had a Groupon voucher for set meal costing £35. Several of dishes not available from what was already a small choice menu. Appears long-standing issue of "no chips" was again a problem. By the time you add on a £30 bottle of house wine, supplement on the steak and then service charge you done get much change out of £100. Marked as average only and certainly not somewhere I would return. Nice air con restaurant with music which we liked but fairly empty and soulless.
