It does not deserve any stars for its rating. Horrible food which I would not eat even if it was served for free. We ere served a salad which was not fresh: looked not fresh and tasted the same. No wonder flies were flying about! Sashimi was awful as well. Decor is tacky and over the top in a bad way. Tasteless place in all the meanings of this word.

The Gilgamesh has a very impressive atmosphere with great interior ,lighting and statues .
I find the food average and over priced for what it is,
their selection of dim sum are the best and most impressive looking depending on what you order , the sushies are not very good and look like something from a supermarket, I guess you really need a Japanese chef for that and you would expect them to have one as the place looks like it should.
I haven't tried the desserts but they look nice and they have amazing looking dry ice cocktail hich I haven't tried yet.

I had a Thai vegetable curry a few times hich is pretty much the only vegetarian option for the main which tastes really nice but It isn't much different from what you get from any nice Thai place.

The service is very average , most thing the staff do is smile and being polite but they don't seems to have a proper catering training and are very amateurish , they often spill things, drop things or attempt to take your unfinished drinks and you really have to wave your arms around to attract their attention and I have noticed this in many different occasions .They have a massive turn over which I guess shows they over work the staff and loose them very quickly .

The toilets are the other thing which is bit disappointing, as soon as you enter the stairway the atmosphere changes, it looks like a simple fire exit with some artworks on the wall and the toilets are done very cheaply unlike the rest of the restaurant but they still managed to impress you with the golden wash basins, dryers and urinals for men's and at busy times it looks like any other busy venue , with tissues and mess on the floor .

I definitely recommend you to try Gilgamesh out but bare in mind that you might be disappointed with the service or you might get lucky but its worth checking out as there aren't many interesting looking restaurants in London and most are just boring and neat and this one definitely pleases my visual appetite

I recently went to Gilgamesh for my first time and it was a fantastic experience. The menu was really interesting and diverse, it had something for everyone in my group of 10 people and the restaurant itself was very cool and interestingly decorated and furnished. Great food, better atmosphere and friendly service, I really enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun evening in Camden

Gilgamesh has a great atmosphere, lovely food and attentive staff. I can't wait to go back. The crispy squid was amazing and my partner thoroughly enjoyed the chilli chicken.

Was there last week for dinner when i heard about a celebrity table tennis charity tournament. Apparently it was in aid of "Topspin" opening on May 18th. A night where you can drink,dance, eat, party and play Ping Pong! Similar to the Spin nightclub idea in new york. The pre launch was great and got to meet JLS and Frank Bruno so expecting big things for the opening night!

This venue is amazing!...the decor that is! We had a seating area reserved in the upstairs club after paying the minimum spend of £350. On arrival the doorwoman pointed out that we had too many men in the group and would have to wait in the bar for the ladies to arrive...complete rubbish! We made our way up to the club and no-one questioned the male-female ratio, infact those girls were great as they let a few extras in who weren't on the list after they paid £15 entry. My only complaint about these girls is that they did not show us to our table, and so I had to go back out and ask.... The service charge is a JOKE as they did not provide any service. I ordered the first round at the bar and waited 20min for them to bring it over....the only efficient part was payment of the service charge (what a surprise). Music was fairly good and there was a good mix of people there, but I wouldn't have had such a fun night if it wasn't for my friends.There were a couple of "celebrities" there, but that shouldn't impact how the rest of us are treated. The following week I wrote an email describing the lack of service, and it's been over one week and I have yet to have any acknowledgement. I wouldn't go out of your way to visit this place.
