Tiger Lil’s is what is known as a “Mongolian Stir Fry” in which you help yourself to a large assortment of raw ingredients arranged buffet-style. After you have stacked your plate up you present it to a chef who prepares it for you, in this case, adding any spices you request as they s… text/html 2023-04-30T18:21:59+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/london/islington/53 Review of 'Yellow River Cafe (NOW CLOSED)' This is the restaurant owned by the television chef Ken Hom located just a bit to the north of most of the other Islington restaurants. I visited on a Saturday for a pre-theatre meal (on weekends they are open all day but only during meal times during the week). The interior is very modern with a colour scheme of red, black and silver. The wooden floor and metal chairs does make the room very noisy. The chefs prepare some of the food on some gri… text/html 2023-04-30T18:21:59+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/london/islington/84 Review of 'emni (NOW CLOSED)' Located just down the road from Angel on Upper Street, “emni” aims to be a modern take on Indian cuisine. The rather spartan modern interior is a promising start as is the menu. The various items on the refreshingly short menu describe in detail each dish as well as indicate their country of origin. text/html 2023-04-30T18:21:59+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/london/islington/125 Review of 'Tortilla Mexican Grill' With four locations in London Tortilla serves up quick, fresh Mexican food to numerous punters. It is a fast food restaurant where you order at the counter at which they also prepare your meal according to your specifications (beans, sour cream, etc.). Seating is communal which can get a bit cozy when busy. Soft drinks (£1.40) are bottomless but alcohol is also available. text/html 2023-04-30T18:21:59+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/london/islington/129 Review of 'Desperados Mexican Catina and Cocktail Bar' A rather garishly decorated cramped Cantina a short distance from Angel tube towards Islington. The interior is full of bright vibrant colours and has quite a buzz to it -- Likely in a large part due to the large number of cocktails and other alcoholic drinks on offer. We were shown to a table at the front window which on retrospect we should have declined as it meant we had to climb over fellow diners when we left but it did offer a v… text/html 2023-04-30T18:21:59+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/london/islington/274 Review of 'Bird' As well as many others in London I keep a regular eye on restaurant and event specials that appear in GroupOn. For restaurants I am looking for offers on places I have wanted to visit but just never had an excuse to visit (a bargain). Bird has been getting quite a reputation as a trendy up-market chicken and chips shop in equally trendy areas of the city (Islington, Shorditch, Camden and the Westfield Stratford City shopping centre). Make no mistake, this is a fried chick… text/html 2023-04-30T18:21:59+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/london/islington/392 Review of 'Hot Stone' When the pandemic hit there were a number of attempts made by local restaurants to keep patrons visiting.

[Interior and Ordering] A typical fast food restaurant, the ordering kiosks are on the right of the fairly dimly lit restaurant with a small cooking area in the back right, open to see into, with a drink machine beside it (a Coke text/html 2023-04-30T18:21:59+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/london/islington/introduction Islington Latest Reviews text/html 2023-04-30T18:21:59+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/london/islington/list List
