    Faros restaurant is a charming spot with a cozy ambiance, candlelit vibes, and a beautifully decorated bar adorned with colorful glass bottles. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and kindness. The service was excellent, and Oreo, our server, was incredibly kind and gave spot-on recommendations. We started with the Tiramisu cocktail, which was phenomenal—easily one of the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had. It was rich, velvety, and an absolute must-try. For the main course, I had the beef pasta, which was served in a generous portion. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the beef was tender and flavorful. To finish, we indulged in the homemade tiramisu. It was luscious and creamy, with a rich coffee aroma, a tantalizing hint of liquor, and a chocolatey burst that made it unforgettable. Although the prices are on the higher side, it’s an excellent place to visit for special occasions or as an occasional treat. I took my friend there for a late birthday celebration, and she absolutely loved it too. Faros delivers a delightful dining experience worth savoring!

    The server, Dilek, is very helpful and nice through our entire dinner giving us a beautiful experience in Faros Holborn. All the workers are welcoming and professional from the moment walking in the restaurant to the moment we left.

    We could not fault anything! Starters: Calamari and Gambero and both had risotto di mare for mains. Service attentive and friendly but not encroaching, food came at a perfect pace and was all so good. The risotto was just beautiful, my only complaint was that I wanted a bigger dish of it! Bill was £90 with service but without alcohol so hardly cheap but when you give 5 stars for everything, it has to be decent value! I've paid more for less enjoyable experiences.

    Amazing service from our waiter. A young lad who served us ( we sat downstairs) . He was incredibly friendly, super attentive and accommodating. Was able to help us with questions regarding the menu and gave reasons for preference. The food was amazing, I’d say slightly overpriced for the portions but could not fault it in any way. Portions were enough and we shared 2 starter between 5 adults which was enough. I would recommend this cute , cosy restaurant to anyone and definitely would go back 😊
