KAMAYAN London

My partner and I visited Kamayan first time and we like it. It’s a typical “karinderia feels” The food are decent and the price is okay. The bangus sinigang is perfect, 10/10. Longganisa needs reheating because it is very hard but tasty 7/10. The spring roll is okay but not delicious, but with sauce it is okay. 7/10. The leche flan is 8/10. The ambiance if nice although they only have few tables. If you are looking for a filipino food on budget and craving for filipino food it’s nice to try.

Date Visited 10/2023: During my 15-day stay in London, I dined here around 4 times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, I noticed that many of the dishes I like were not available. The taste of the food remains consistent and aligns with its price. On one occasion, a birthday celebration filled the small space, leading us to sit outside in the cold without heat lamps. It might be helpful to call ahead and check for gatherings. The street offers various alternative restaurants if you prefer not to wait for indoor seating. The elderly Filipino man was very friendly. I’ll consider returning on my next visit to town.

Great food and friendly staff, affordable and big portions. The service was quite slow (to get attention of waitress, not waiting for the food) and we came on a quiet day but otherwise we had a nice time!

I ordered the Kare Kare and it was the BEST dish I ate in London during my 3-day stay. I told this to the staff (manager?) there. I had been eating overly expensive bland western food in London which created a dent in my wallet, but didn’t leave me feeling satisfied or filled me up. I also asked for vegetables (okra and eggplant) which was awesome. The manager(?) I talked with was friendly. A few things to consider improving though is making the sauce more peanut tasting (I have had richer and thicker sauce for the Kare Kare) and to make the rice softer and scoop it out only when the food is ready (as it was kind of cold when I ate it). If you are in the area, I recommend this restaurant! I would choose this restaurant over a western one any day! Glad I dined here on my way to the airport!

Everyone needs to stop sleeping on this place if they want good filipino food! Look past the rating and please give this place a shot because the food is literally a 10/10. My friends and I got the mukbang platter which costs less than £15 per head and we were so stuffed (where can u get food that affordable in ldn) I understand that the bad reviews are mostly about the service but I don’t think it was bad at all and I certainly don’t expect fine-dining level hospitality. This place was such a good find! When eating the mukbang i recommend using a glove on one hand and a spoon on another, use the gloved hand to pick items from the middle and place it on ur spoon with rice — it’s amazing

Extremely delicious food & very friendly service! Highly reccomend getting the sisig and boodle fight. This was authentic Filipino food that taste like my Lola’s cooking. Thank you

my friend and i went here for lunch earlier bc we were craving filipino food. this resto didn't disappoint! the staff were friendly and service was quick; we didn't have to wait long for our food. aside from the fact na masarap, the price was affordable as well! super busog for less than £10. 🤌🏽 the resto was playing filipino music rin, contributing to the great vibes while dining. here's what we had: ✨️ dinuguan - 10/10. authentic taste. i haven't had dinuguan since i moved to the uk, and their dish reminded me so much of home. definitely recommend! ✨️ tapsilog - 10/10. the dish comes w beef tapa, garlic rice, fried egg, atsara, a tomato slice, a cucumber slice, and pinakurat. it was very tasty. i love the inclusion of atsara (anothing filo food that i haven't had in months). i'll definitely come back!

Never missed to dine in here when visiting London. Love the ambience, very homey and love the mucic. Just the perfect place to satisfy craving for Filipino cuisine. It’s self service when ordering but the staffs are very helpfull.
