    I recently visited Parakeet in Kentish Town for dinner with my partner and was thoroughly impressed. The food was exceptional and full of flavor especially the Seabream. Service was exceptional too, very friendly and prompt. The atmosphere was cozy yet contemporary and a relaxed vibe. Just want to say thank you to all for making our evening memorable.

    First time eating at the Parakeet and it did not disappoint. Super friendly staff and one of the best Sunday Roasts we have had in London. The wine was amazing, the Sticky Toffee Pudding topped any dessert I've ever had, and our server was great. Thanks again.

    This was the second time at the Parakeet and the food, ambiance, staff, drinks etc were all perfect like my first visit. This has become my new favourite restaurant and I can't wait to go back. Delicious but unpretentious.

    Chidhalia what amazing! She took excellent care of us and made great recommendations. Following her guidance we had the lamb and the roast beef. If you can only choose one, go with the lamb. This is definitely a place where you should indulge. Get the extra sides, get the starters, try the drinks and have the dessert. It's all worth it!

    6 of us went to Parakeet for a Birthday Celebration Lunch. We had a perfect meal with welcoming and friendly service. The food was really tasty … Sharing plates are a great idea , it offers so many taste experiences and gives a communal feel to the meal. Thank You to the Parakeet Team and Looking forward to the next time. Caroline
