A buzzy, foliage-filled neighborhood Thai spot in Highbury serving fiercely flavorful, unapologetically authentic curries and small plates.
Ordering Strategy
The absolute best way to experience Farang is by trusting the kitchen with the £55 'feasting menu', which provides a perfectly balanced journey of snacks, small plates, and generous curries.
What to order
Gai Prik
An irresistible crispy IPA-battered chicken coated in a sticky fish sauce and green chilli glaze, widely considered the restaurant's signature dish.
'Gaeng Gari' Curry
A creative standout among the substantial sharing curries, noted for its unique layers of crispy pickled onion that flake away with the faintest nudge of a spoon.
Smoked mackerel miang bites
A burst of freshness featuring peanuts, ginger, and lime folded in an edible betel leaf, providing a sharp counterpoint to the menu's richer meat dishes.
Coconut panna cotta
Described as a fine palate-cleanser that every diner will want to lay claim to at the end of the meal.

Good to know
They are only open Wednesday to Saturday, partly because their fresh produce is flown in directly from Bangkok. Don't leave without picking up their fantastic 'PAYST' curry pastes from the in-store larder.
