Gilgamesh was the son of the greatest King in biblical times, and is believed to have lived a heroic and adventurous life. To his tribute, Gilgamesh encapsulates his greatness by creating a breathtaking visionary restaurant. The construction of the place alone appears to have been bigger than Ben Hur; it hosts the world’s longest bar, which was hand carved in India by an impressive 10,000 men.
The food is Asian fusion, everything ranging from Dim Sum at lunch to a large selection of sushi followed by a few Thai favourites. The prices are also varied, ranging from £ 9.35 for scallop sushi, to £ 30.25 at the higher end of the scale for the hoba miso chilean seabass. Gilgamesh also caters for larger groups and offers the exclusive chef’s table for groups of 8-12 people, where you will be served a range of dishes from Grilled Wagyu with Spicy Ponzu and Truffles.
Gilgamesh also boasts a glass tea room which is lit with candles at night, in addition to a private bar, the Babylon Lounge Bar – where you can sip your cocktail while dangling on a hanging sitting chair.
Gilgamesh’s grandeur is certainly in keep with the biblical king’s reputation, therefore if you’re after a bit of magnificence, you’ll really enjoy the Gilgamesh experience.

What the hell is this doing in any guide that doesn’t start with the words, The 10 Top Worst… This place is awful, probably only beated my the Buddha Bar as the biggest rip off in London. On top of that anyone who really cares about the city could have nothing but contempt at a property developer from over seas buying up Camden so as to destroy its unqiue character with awfulness like this. Shame on you, directing visitors to this county to such tat.
