Gilgamesh is a real feast for the eyes as well as the stomach. From the grotty, but charming surroundings of Camden Market; you ascend the stairs enter, what I can only describe as, an intricate hand-carved heaven. The interior is beautifully decorated, inspiration comes from the friezes held at The British Museum which instantly makes you feel like you are in a luxury restaurant. Another thing that completes this idea is the service. They are very attentive and very polite. The Bar tenders are very inventive making tasty cocktails that compliment the theme of the restaurant. The food, however, is a over priced and quite rich. I enjoyed the food, don't get me wrong it was delicious and imaginative, but I did leave feeling very stuffed although the portions weren't too big. I had the set menu which had a great selection of food, the best part of the dinner that stood out the most was the Prawn and crab spring rolls with nouc cham dressing and the pudding which was Milk Chocolate Fondant. Gorgeous! Being a sushi junkie I tried the sushi there which was very good, but I have had better elsewhere and had it cheaper.

For me the big reason to go to Gilgamesh is to be in the presence of the awe-inspiring interior and the great service. The food is great however the main course was overshadowed by the starters, pudding and scrumptious cocktails – Apple & Fig Martini is my favourite. In fact the food they serve at the bar is better than the restaurant, they served Crispy Squid, Duck Spring Roll and Scallop Sui Mai are my favourite but again you can get that elsewhere cheaper and just as good.
