London Restaurants within a 5 minute walk of Angel Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

It was for my husband's birthday with a couple friends. The atmosphere was perfect, light music at the background and pleasant chattering. The food was impressive, even the most unassuming chicken soup was packed with flavour. The rissotto was also very delicious, perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Everything on the menu was so appealing the group had a bit of difficulty to choose. I personally like a menu with plenty of seafood selection and Frederick's fits the bill. Because it was a birthday, they brought out a candle on an ice cream, this was not rehearsed (they asked the reason of occasion on the booking form and I just answered) and I am glad they did it this way and everything was seamless & effortless. The whole group was very happy and would be more than happy to return again to try other things on the menu.

A decent restaurant with good simple European/British food. Starting with the starters, the portions were disappointingly small but it was tasty. We got the dressed crab and pepper squid. Then for mains we got the Welsh lamb rump and duck leg confit. Both of which were well cooked and tasty. Service was friendly and efficient. For 2 starters and 2 mains plus a bottle of still water it cost £99.68 which seems a bit overpriced. But still recommend.

I've photographed wedding receptions at Fredericks multiple times now, and have had such a brilliant time each time. The staff made sure to take care of me, they were polite and lovely. The space itself is a diamond option being so close to Islington Town Hall, as it's able to hold a high capacity of guests, something quite unusual for a restaurant in the Islington area. It's got brilliant light in the dining space, and a unique outdoor area which is useful for the drinks reception and speeches. It also is a rare bit of greenery for any couple or group photos you need. The food is brilliant, but that's a given!!

I have been to Fredericks a number of times and have always been impressed. It is a very tastefully designed minimalist modern British restaurant with great food and great service.The staff are knowledgeable, accommodating and very helpful. On this occasion I started with a salmon and avocado tartare which was Japanese inspired and tasted fabulous. I followed that up with a salmon en croute, roast vegetables and broccoli. The salmon en croute was really good ; crispy pastry, juicy well cooked fish with just the right amount of bechamel sauce. I finished with a creme brulle and a double expresso. The creme brulle was rich and creamy and the expresso strong but not bitter. Fredericks is a bit pricey but it is well worth it IMHO. I would definitely go back if I am in the area and very much enjoyed my meal.

Delightful experience! From outside I thought I was going to enter a very old and antique place but the moment you enter the establishment you see some amazing decor with sublime art and decor. The food is incredible, with a good mix of options but most importantly enough for every palate. Good vegetarian options from starters to dessert! Highly recommend this place if you love good service and customer experience and too notch curated food.

Lovely pub, for a drink but this time we ate and the food was outstanding. We went for Sunday lunch and between three us us managed to try the beef, chicken and pork. All the meats were very nicely cooked, and a generous portion (especially the beef) and came with amazing Yorkshire puddings and lots of veg. Extra gravy and puddings available on request and included in the price I think! Brilliant.

The staff that I met ( Amy , Chloe and Ciara ) were friendly and inviting, great selection of lagers. The food was fantastic. Would definitely recommend and come back to try other food on the menu.

The Castle was first ever pub visit while on vacation in London. We were greeted by Ciara who took care of our table for the evening. It was a busy weekend with a bank holiday on Monday, but she handled it like a pro. She was very helpful and friendly. The food was delicious. I had a glass of wine and my husband had a beer. We enjoyed the fish & chips and cheeseburger sliders. No complaints. I would recommend The Castle and Ciara as your server.

Lovely wee pub that's been a staple of my visits to Angel for years. A cracking selection of beers and super friendly staff(Ciara, Chloe and Amy today) which always have me coming back for another pint or two

Despite being a proud Mexican eatery no one speaks Spanish. I ordered the vegetarian burrito. They only had few scraps of the vegetables. The girl said she would give me extra guacamole to compensate. The burrito ended up being really full. I suspected it was going to be a nightmare to eat it as it was, also given the fact that they only wanted to give me, initially, a small napkin. So I asked the girl if she could cut the burrito in half. She said they're not allowed because of "cross contamination". I didn't understand the relationship between my question and her answer... I said: "you can use a clean knife and there won't be any cross contamination". Still she said they're not allowed. It was a very frustrating first experience at this restaurant. The reguetón music doesn't help either. The positives: the girl was very friendly and despite everything she tried to help. The burrito was really good, big and cheap. Nice decoration.

Okay first off!!! Let me just start by saying the food is absolutely delicious and so fresh. I can eat healthy but have the food genuinely taste amazing what a dream come true. Secondly the team are so sweet :,)… I’m not sure which team member was working on wednesday evening - but I made an online order mentioning my birthday in the comments and they left me such a sweet sweet note I wish I could thank them :(. Not only will I be returning for the food, but 100% for the lovely customer service too. #chilangoalltheway

I was tempted to give the food a 4 because of the limited vegan options. But that wouldn’t be fair as it’s not a vegan restaurant and there are sufficient options. Besides the taste and quality is excellent as well as super filling. This was my first time and the staff were great at explaining the process and options. It is fun and reassuring to watch them prepare your meal and be asked what you want included; an anxious vegans’ dream. The decor is super colourful and fun. My only critique of the atmosphere was the music was really loud; which was a little much during the day while the restaurant wasn’t full. Great Latin vibe though. A fantastic experience and I will come again.

All round a 10/10 experience! Ariane, the girl who served me, was so friendly and helpful! She gave me suggestions on what to add to my burrito and wow does she know how to make a good one!! Will definitely be back.

An outstanding experience here! Affordable & high quality sushi in London is a misnomer. Or atleast, I thought it was until I came to SASA. I was blown away by the impeccable service, delicious fish, and fantastic ambiance. Wish I’d discovered this gem sooner! The rainbow roll was terrific. I’d love to try the melted tuna/salmon roll next time.
Gemma Boothroyd - 3 weeks ago

such a cute, family-owned restaurant! our experience was excellent start to finish. the staff were very attentive and the quality of food was just perfect. temaki, wagyu skewers, eel nigiri, volcano maki roll …. so many good options. i’m so happy to have this gem in my neighbourhood.

Great experience at Sasa with lots of variety on not just fish but the preparation as well which I love. Quality was great and Staff are super friendly. Price is also very reasonable for London, would definitely recommend. Note that some items aren't always available like oysters and uni so worth double checking before going if that is what you're after.

I wasn't a huge fan of the agedashi tofu because it was missing the usual bonito flakes but the sasa set more than made up for it. The rice was fresh and well done and the fish was all very fresh. I'd come here again!
Tim S - 2 months ago

Top notch! Forget sushi samba, this is one of the best restaurants we’ve been to in London. And the best Japanese restaurant. Everything we tried was great but the stand out dish for me was the sashimi is truly amazing. The staff were great and very friendly.

Ahmed was a lovely social person and has emmaculate customer service Not only that but the laksa and vegan chicken kebabs were absolutely delicious. I'm asian and I've had many laksas around the world so I know a good laksa when I try one, and this one definitely gets an 11/10 for me. Thankyou for the great service and food, if I come back to London I will definitely try something else on the menu.

Very welcoming, especially to my five year old granddaughter, who was invited to hold a furry toy orangutan and given a hat to colour in. The lunch set plates were so delicious with lots of variety.

I love coming here! Best thing about this place is the 2 for 1 mocktails! The staff are always kind and super friendly! Shreeya was very kind and helpful when I told her about my dietary restrictions and she helped me to personalise my dish to cater to my needs! First time I could enjoy my food without any fear of the hidden ingredients that could affect my health later!! Thank you Banana Tree!

I recently visited this restaurant and had the pleasure of trying their delicious naked burrito. The flavors were amazing, and the portion size was generous. What made my experience even better was the excellent service provided by Abdul. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure that everything was perfect throughout my meal. I highly recommend this restaurant for the tasty naked burrito and the fantastic staff like Abdul who make dining here a delightful experience.

I am not a review guy ,but I guess this place deserves one. I am always a fan of their burritos, especially the beef which is just AMAZING! alongside their frozen margaritas, making the the perfect pair ever. Service wise, compared to many places, i would say they have really amazing service ,everyone seemed to be joyful and giving a good vibe and love what they doing (which you don't see that often in London), manager was helpful answering my queries, so yeah ,lovely place ,definitely must try👌

Always love a tortilla burrito, the beef is delicious and worth the extra £. Went after seeing their £2.50 happy hour 5-8pm every day (I think just for summer tho). Generous frozen marg, delicious burrito. Service was average, the woman/manager who served us was clearly hating life. Felt sorry for the trainee girl with her (who made us 2 great burritos with supervision!) as didn’t seem like a particularly positive working environment, but who knows. FYI the happy hour is only when you buy food with it. And sign up to their newsletter for a free burrito on your birthday!
Libby Wales - 9 months ago

There's something about this place, maybe the vibe or the people who run it. I have always loved coming here for the tortilla. Although I genuinely believe food quality can improve but they definitely have a culture of service which I admire. For ex today I had a tough day at work and their manager Ash had a chat with us and it felt it's okay. I think it's quality of people like Ash that I'd come here again. World needs more people like Ash and more brands like Tortilla for the culture they have built!

Perfect drinks, good customer services. All the staff here have expertise in making good coffee and meticulously make coffee tailored to my preference. Also, they are more than willing to listen to your request and have a great common sense and problem solving skills. The manager is humble and has a fantastic service mind. Once he asked me how my drink was, I felt like this store was specialty coffee shop. Never disappointed with their services
Thomas J - 4 months ago

Really huge shout out for team which is amazing , served me a nice drinks and food. Whereas, Another great place of coffee spot! Menu keeps evolving to meet every budget and the range of products means there is something for everyone at any time of day! I personally love the great value drinks (gives pricier merchants a run for their money any time!) and sandwiches , which I somehow manage to add to all my orders! The points scheme is also fabulous and those points quickly add up to genuine freebies from the menu - but please add the option to buy a larger or sandwich with points 🙏

Went on a Monday and it was slightly busy. I had a mango dragon fruit refresha. It was nice and fresh but very overpriced. The service was very good and it was prepared very quickly.

Despite only visiting this pub a few times, I've always really enjoyed the atmosphere and its friendly feel. Every time I'm in Angel (roughly once every 18 months) I always have a drink here as it is close to my hotel. Really good choice of beers on draft from local breweries and consistent favourites. In summary, it's a fab local!!!!

Called in for a pint early afternoon and it was fairly quiet. Nice welcome and good beer. Traditional old pub. Piped music and tv screen for sports coverage.

. The Angelic 📍 57 Liverpool Rd, London N1 0RJ 🚇 Angel 🍺 £6.00 Amstel An Eye Catching Islington Local. The Angelic is located just around the corner from Chapel Market on Liverpool Road. The nearest Tube is Angel, it’s a four minute walk to get here. Opened as George IV in 1824, The Angelic was renamed after the film The Angelic Conversation, directed by Derek Jarman who lived opposite the pub during the 1960s. This striking pub would have had five internal divisions, as suggested by the numerous external doors. This is a bright and airy good sized pub which thankfully retains some original features like the beautiful fireplace. The main bar is laid out in a ‘C’ shape around a bold blue servery which has a stunning back bar. There are large windows spanning three walls which flood the pub with light, if you look around the top of the walls you will see the original Victorian ceramic frieze. The seating consists of rustic tables and chairs plus comfy booths and benches. If you head upstairs you’ll find another bar that is used as a function room. It’s a cosy, comfortable drinking space that comes with plenty of candle-lit tables and a mural on the ceiling. If you need the loo, you have to descend town a spiral staircase which has, yes you guessed it, a water feature at the bottom. The beer line up will please most, there is a selection of popular keg, revolving craft and cask ales to choose from. I opted for an Amstel, my pint was decent, price point was average. The food menu is classic pub grub plus Roasts on a Sunday, Fish & Chips costs £17. We arrived around 6pm on a Saturday evening in October. The pub was packed with a predominantly younger crowd and had a vibrant buzzy upbeat atmosphere. The service was on point, although it was busy, we didn’t have to wait long to be served. This pub shows Live Football, hosts Comedy Nights upstairs, DJ nights and offers various drinks promotions through the week. This is a very eye catching boozer that easily draws you in. I loved the original Victorian features and the buzzy vibe about the place. @theangelicislington.uk is a good all-rounder that is well worth a visit. ℹ️ Info correct on 14.10.23

Popped in for Sunday roast without a booking. Friendly staff accommodated us quickly and warmly. Would not return for food. Some elements were over and others undercooked. Would like a smaller and better-executed menu. Quality over quantity. Would return for beers!

I had a wonderful birthday afternoon tea with The Angelic. What a day to remember! Hats off to the great head chef who tailor made a delicious afternoon tea (the best we've ever had!) Such tasty warm food, portion abundant- had to take half home! And delightful atmosphere. The bar staff are excellent, looked after us and showed what hospitality really is. We shall visit this wonderful Islington gem again, treat yourself for a reasonably priced afternoon tea or meal here, you won't be disappointed! Thank you! 😊

So we only live down the road & always miss this place as it’s only open Mon-Fri (we work weekdays) but really wanting to try it! We finally got the chance today & we weren’t disappointed at all. The customer service was 10/10! We mentioned it was our first time & was told we could have a mixture of rice & noodles with either (£6.50 small box - 1 topping) or (£9 medium box - 2 toppings)! We got one of each size, let me tell you it was great value off money. We got the Malaysian Chicken Curry, Roast Pork & Hot & Chilli Chicken. 2 x Chicken Spring Rolls & 3 x Fried Fish! Everything was AMAZING! Definitely recommend this place and will be coming back very soon! Looking forward to the summer selections 😁
