"Ever since opening as a pop-up before becoming permanent, Farang has been a neighbourhood favourite in Highbury. Small plates like the miang bites (betel leaves stuffed with prawn and pomegranate) and the curries combine British produce with classic sweet, sour, spicy, and salty flavours from all over Thailand. Inside it’s a tight-knit, foliage-heavy, affair with glowing lamps and lurid gai prik, deep-fried chicken in an orange and fish sauce glaze." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"It’s easy to understand why Farang is so popular; it’s an immensely likeable restaurant serving generous and heartwarming recipes from all regions of Thailand – and even with overly eager ordering, you finish up with a bill that isn’t too overwhelming. The ‘Feasting’ menus – which includes a vegetarian version – are great for groups, and you’ll find it hard to resist buying some of their produce in the little store area on the way out too." - Michelin Inspector
"The Thai-influenced spot has been around since 2017 and quickly became a neighbourhood favourite. There are small plates like the miang bites (betel leaves stuffed with prawn and pomegranate) and curries which combine British produce with sweet, sour, spicy, and salty Thai flavours. The space, once an old-school Italian spot, feels very much like Farang's now—the outside facade has been painted black and the tables inside provide bright colours courtesy of dishes like prawn and herb-laden jungle curry and lurid-looking gai prik." - jake missing
