- PPaulLondon •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThis is our third visit to Farang, having Thai family we feel we understand a little about Thai food and the food here hits all the flavour notes that are important for Thais. I love the small menu and that it changes seasonally. Everyone enjoyed their food and when we asked if they could turn the music down, we’re all of a certain age and struggle with noise when trying to make conversation and they happily turned the music down to a perfect level for us. The staff were all friendly and welcoming and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone. The food, ingredients and cooking is of a high standard and this is a wonderful neighbourhood destination.More infoFarang London££££• Thai• Highbury/Islington•4.5
