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.

    We were very disappointed with our experience at Farang. We opted for the tasting menu and wine pairing. The wine pairing consisted of a cheap glass of Prosecco, a bland orange white wine and a glass of red. None of these particularly paired with the course and were no way near worth the £35pp. The soup tasted nice but all the lemongrass, lime leaves and ginger bits had been left in which made it unpleasant to eat. The pork belly was braised and so the uncooked fat was again not overly pleasant to eat. The fish cake salad was far too salty and fishy. We left most of the salad and the roti, which was dry and too salty. We provided feedback and the sous chef came to our table to take our feedback, which we appreciated. We were also offered a free cocktail. However, nothing was taken off the bill despite our dissatisfaction with half the dishes. We certainly won’t be back.

    Had heard good things, but was truly blown away by the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. Everything we tried was truly exceptional and I cannot wait for an excuse to go back and try the rest of the menu!

    We had a very delicious taster menu. Every single dish was spot on and well flavoured. The range was from sweet to sour to spicy and very nuanced. The wine selection was great as well. We’ll surely be back.

    This was probably the best food based experience we’ve ever had. The restaurant was outstanding, staff were very knowledgeable and the food experience was very unique and creative. We had the feasting menu and it was varied and very cleverly executed.

    Delicious - really standout curries, great starters and lovely vibe. Only qualm is that it's quite expensive for what it is, but at least feels like a treat.
