Chef Sebby Holmes launched Farang back in 2016 after trading at street food markets throughout London. A year later he took up temporary residency in Farang's current home in Highbury & Islington. After excellent reviews, he took on the space permanently after his step-father retired and since, has gone from strength to strength.
Farang was recently inducted into the National Restaurant Awards top 100 and awarded a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand, which we have kept four years running. We also received the Thai select award from the UK Thai Embassy which certifies authenticity and the freshness of our ingredients.
We’re a young team of enthusiastic individuals, who over the last few years have bought our passion and skills to the table.
Parties of six and larger, kindly contact the restaurant directly for reservations. These larger groups will be offered the shared feasting menu only and a deposit of £10 per head needs to be taken to confirm the booking, which will be deducted from your bill.

We were celebrating our engagement. Food was incredible. We had the sharing menu and added crackers with coconut chilli jam as a starter. Crackers and the coconut chilli jam was amazing! The sauce was so flavourful, such a shame can’t buy it in a jar. Fried chicken was our favourite dish of the day - crispy, spicy, sweet - hit all the notes. We weren’t a fan of the hot and sour soup - but this was more so due to personal preference rather than anything wrong with the dish. I think if you like the sour profile this would be amazing! The fried sea bass marinated in sauce was a must-have. Beautifully presented and wonderfully tasty. The only downside is that the braised beef curry seemed bland in comparison. Braised beef very tender, and on its own would have been really yummy, but next to the fish seemed flavourless. The roti served as a side was wonderful though!

Very spicy food without warning, kitchen was very slow and food was overpriced for the small quantity of the feast.

The atmosphere at Farang was wonderful and so was the staff. They helped us pick from the menù and took great care of us. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavour and cooked to perfection. Cannot wait to be back!
