FKABAM is a place for fun. We take our food seriously, but not ourselves. Tables are close together, and the atmosphere is loud and vibrant. Reservations are available four weeks in advance for parties of 1 to 4 guests. For parties larger than this, please email info@blackaxemangal.com

We keep a few spaces free for walk-ins as first come first served.

We serve an A La Carte menu which is published on our Instagram @fkablackaxemangal. Limited numbers of new and old fave dishes will be available to add to your meal each night. We also have options for vegetarian/vegan diners available upon request as well as some Gluten Free options- unfortunately we cannot cater for soy allergies.

Please note our cancellation policy and do not ask us to waiver fees if you forget to cancel within the time frame.

The food is excellent. The flavours are wonderful, and the kitchen seems to prepare the food with real care. BUT the ambiance is insane. The music is deafening. As loud as a night club. I don’t mind music, but I like to hear what my fellow diners are saying. And it is HOT. It’s a small restaurant with a gigantic oven in the corner. So it’s uncomfortably warm. The heat combined with the music made me feel like I was in a CIA sensory deprivation torture room. This ruined it for me, in afraid.

It’s good. Not great. Tasty food but not wildly imaginative. The bone marrow is overpriced. Decent value overall

My fourth time in three months. It’s impossible to pigeonhole what style of food FKABAM is beyond bloody delicious. Incredible flavour combinations, unique dishes, great service and just awesome fun. Can’t get enough of coming here. Probably the best restaurant in London. Always ask for the counter seat!

My brother and I went to FKABAM for brunch and it was incredible. The service was another level, the serving staff kind, attentive, and so incredibly thoughtful. I'm vegan and they made me feel really well looked after and offered alternatives I could have despite the brunch menu not being specifically catered to vegans (I believe this is because they've just re-started their brunches and might offer vegan menus soon). The ambience is super fun and music is great too. The food was incredible, I had a mapo tofu dish and my brother had the doughnut and a big mac inspired one that he said was really good. We absolutely loved it! The head chef and owner was the nicest person and we had a great chat with him too. He really made the whole experience!

Super food in a tiny place. The place could do with better ventilation as very stuff but otherwise loved dinner here. Very friendly staff, quick service and excellent food.
