Gilgamesh is more than a restaurant; it's an immersive experience set in a Babylonian palace spread over three lavish levels and set in the heart of Covent Garden. Adorned with gold, bronze, and dark woods, it brings the epic of Gilgamesh to life. The Pan-Asian menu offers a culinary journey, blending Eastern and Western flavours with influences from China, Japan, and Southeast Asia and complemented by an extensive cocktail and wine list.

The venue features intimate booths, dramatic bars, and dining areas inspired by ancient Babylon, with lush greenery reminiscent of the mythical Hanging Gardens. Guests can explore the exotic garden of Zion or the luxurious dining city of Babylon, each offering a unique atmosphere for creating unforgettable memories in this spectacular fusion of history and modernity.

We had booked the pre theatre menu. Keeping in mind we got there earlier than our booking it was great they had a table ready for us. We had asked more than 3 times for the pre theatre menu before finally being given them. We order all food at once however we literally waited for our mains for close to 40mins after finishing starters. We had asked twice when’s the main coming as we have a show to catch. Finally it came but we was left having to rush our mains down our throats that the taste or enjoyment of trying Gilgamesh food for the first time had to just disappear as we was against time. Finished and before going to the rest room had already asked for the bill worrying it would take a while before we actually got the bill. We paid standing up and quickly left for our show. Overall not the experience I would have liked for my first visit.. I doubt I would revisit pre theatre as we were there for close to 2 hours and it was not awfully busy. Drinks were great first round but when ordering the same exact drinks it came tasting and looking completely different but was told it’s the same drink. Staff were nice and polite but lack of service and understanding our booking type was a shame.
