Gluten-Free Menu Options

Pros:

  • "Absolutely amazing! 100% gluten free a coeliac heaven."
  • "As a coeliac, to have a completely gluten free place to go to and not have any worries about cross contamination meant I had a worry free anniversary day out."
  • "Loved the fact that the restaurant was Gluten Free as that is something I have to watch out for now."

Cons:

  • "Unfortunately did not have the best visit to Near & Far in Camden."
  • "As a new celiac, I never went to any entirely GF restaurant."
  • "I’ve been wanting to go here for over a year. Unfortunately I’m really disappointed with the service and the food."

Service and Staff Friendliness

Pros:

  • "The service is nice and quick so your drinks will be with you in no time."
  • "All the staff here were so friendly and helpful, and it really did make our visit worth it."
  • "Shofi and Clara were fantastic. Had the best food and the drinks were topped up so often, couldn’t keep up! Best service I have had in Camden!"

Cons:

  • "Awful service, I really think management should reconsider who they hire."
  • "The cocktails were mid and our bartender (a guy wearing glasses) seemed high."
  • "Service was pretty bad here. Food-wise it's OK but needs a lot of improving."

Ambience and Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "It is a nice restaurant with beautiful ambience seatings."
  • "Booked a brunch here with some friends and I have to say, the vibes are immaculate. Great music and ambience."
  • "Loved the atmosphere of this place. I went there for brunch: the offer includes 2 hours bottomless drinks + 1 brunch item for £30pp."

Cons:

  • "The shop had an interesting vibe. However, when I went we sat on the first floor which felt a little cheap."
  • "Lastly I think the atmosphere could have been slightly better, some more warm lighting and decor. It felt cold and dark."
  • "The music was so loud we could barely hear each other talk and when my friend asked if it could be turned down we were told it was unlikely."

Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

  • "The food service was extremely fast."
  • "Visited on a Saturday as a group of three for the brunch deal. All really pleased with our food."
  • "Great selection of cocktails and mocktails. Only one vegan main option for food unfortunately but it is a pretty good burger."

Cons:

  • "However, food wasn’t up to the standards that I was hoping for. Tacos were bland, fried chicken didn’t have much flavours and beef burger was awful!"
  • "With Tacos priced at an extortionate £16 I was expecting Mexican perfection - instead when the pulled pork tacos arrived it was old grey sliced ham."
  • "Very disappointed with the food (aside from the chips). The tacos were dry and bland, the crispy battered fish inside wasn't fresh, it tasted burnt."
