This “tiny hole in the wall with an even tinier kitchen” on Islington Green “delivers time and time again” with its tasty and good-value Afghan cooking. Top Menu Tip – “get the pumpkin curry”.

This enduring little café on Islington Green has thrived for three decades on its “amazing” cheap curries (if certainly not its basic interior).

This small, sparse café on Islington Green is one of the longest-running entries in our guide. Nothing fancy, but check it out for a quick bite (simple curries and rice) that’s interesting and won't break the bank.

“Decent food but seriously cramped!” – that’s long been the trade-off at this tiny, barely decorated caff, by Islington Green, whose small selection of interesting curries makes it a “great local”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
