Farang was recently inducted into the National Restaurant Awards top 100 and awarded a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand, which we have kept four years running. We also received the Thai select award from the UK Thai Embassy which certifies authenticity and the freshness of our ingredients. We’re a young team of enthusiastic individuals, who over the last few years have bought our passion and skills to the table. Parties of six and larger, kindly contact the restaurant directly for reservations. These larger groups will be offered the shared feasting menu only and a deposit of £10 per head needs to be taken to confirm the booking, which will be deducted from your bill.

Chef Sebby Holmes launched Farang back in 2016 after trading at street food markets throughout London. A year later he took up temporary residency in Farang's current home in Highbury & Islington. After excellent reviews, he took on the space permanently after his step-father retired and since, has gone from strength to strength. Farang was recently inducted into the National Restaurant Awards top 100 and awarded a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand, which we have kept four years running. We also received the Thai select award from the UK Thai Embassy which certifies authenticity and the freshness of our ingredients. We’re a young team of enthusiastic individuals, who over the last few years have bought our passion and skills to the table. Parties of six and larger, kindly contact the restaurant directly for reservations. These larger groups will be offered the shared feasting menu only and a deposit of £10 per head needs to be taken to confirm the booking, which will be deducted from your bill.
Beyond the bricks and mortar of Highbury, the Farang team can also be found bringing what we do to private hire events, festivals and plenty more besides. Having made our Big Feastival debut in 2017, we’re gearing up for Summer 2018 in style. More news on that come... <br /><br />We have a range of events menus available, sample menus are below, and we're of course very happy to discuss any specific requirements.

Amazing food and great service. We were seated early for our booking and had a great time. We had starters, crackers and main courses. All were fantastic! The restaurant started to get a little noisy as it got busy but was still a fantastic place and a great meal. We’ll be back!

We’ve been waiting almost a year to get into Farang (partly because we’re the type that books the week of) and after booking it a month in advance Farang did not disappoint.
Service: Excellent, whilst staff appeared somewhat overwhelmed they were still very personal and attentive. We didn’t have to wait long to order and they brought everything quickly and easily with some great recommendations of what to choose. The only complaint was all of our food came very quickly and all at once so our small table became very cramped very quickly. Allowing some time between the small plates and the mains would have been great and allowed us to make more of the evening. However overall 8/10 with both managers being a particular highlight with their excellent recommendations and being helpful, friendly and attentive.
Food: Having grown up in Asia and spending a lot of time in Thailand growing up the food and smells of the restaurant reminded me a lot of home. The menu was very small which meant that every dish was well thought out and was all seasonal. Every dish was great and the jungle curry, Roti and the coconut chilli Jam are all must haves! Food wise, it’s really hard to fault anything with the only note being it all came at once. As mentioned in the service, if there could be some staggering between dishes, perhaps small plates first then mains after they’ve been cleared that would’ve been great. Solid 9/10.
