Located in the heart of Stables Market in Camden, Gilgamesh's interior provides a unique and dramatic backdrop to the restaurant with its beautifully handcrafted decoration; from lavish furnishings to walls adorned with hand-carved stone murals and exquisite sculptures, all inspired by Gilgamesh - a great hero of Sumerian epic poetry - and his ancient Babylonian kingdom.

Head Chef Ian Pengelley's contemporary pan-Asian touch is evident in his cooking and hilariously named dishes lend a fun angle to eating out, there's son-in-law crispy fried eggs topped with chilli jam, chillies and coriander, and spicy spider, a tempura soft shell crab with avocado, shredded leaves, piquant mayonnaise and flying fish roe. For those looking for a dim sum experience there are chicken croquettes, scallop siu mai and garlic chive mushroom, while a beef panaeng and fillet of Asian spiced lamb should please hearty diners.

A quick look at the dessert menu could reveal a chocolate and lemongrass brûlée with sorbet and tropical fruit cake with passion fruit jelly.
