It was very finely minced and lacked the deep reddish offal taste. Lamb offal £6.00 – a lovely spice and a cooling yoghurt but I would have liked chunkier pieces of the offal. The drinks menu is a small selection of cocktails, beer, wine, prosecco and non-alcoholic ones. ![]() We only chose two of the flatbread option, going easy on the carbohydrates, and had all the mains except for the falafel and curd. All five of us had the same goal, to try everything on the menu, unless certain things are too similar or are on the common side of food in the restaurant. So together with our usual troop of five we waited for 30 minutes for our table. Usually I turn away from such deafening places, especially when coupled with a no reservations policy, but the food looked promising. It’s casual, has the neighbourhood/local feel, somewhere for a takeaway after a couple of pints, a notch up from the usual kebab place and the music is much too heavy and loud to ignore. It is hardly the place you would take a date out to for a romantic night, gazing into each other’s eyes and drowning out everyone else around you. This sums up pretty much everything about Black Axe Mangal from their interior, decoration, fittings and not least, food. Black Axe Mangal, Islington – small, loud, bold, weird and outlandish. ![]()
