Review of Old Queens Head
27 Jul 07, 08:59
Nice local pub 
The Old Queens Head has been around for years, but is now distinctly more trendy and upmarket - like everywhere in Angel the locals seem to be being pushed out and the yuppies welcomed in. Having said that, The Old Queens Head still has a nice atmosphere, and avoids the masses of Upper Street. Sit on the outside tables in the summer, and head upstairs at the weekend for a taste of one the the many DJs that plays.

Review of Mem and Laz
27 Jul 07, 08:52
Nice middle eastern restaurant
Mem laz is a small restaurant just off Upper Street that is packed with tables and a million different trinkets, which creates a cosy and interesting ambience. The food is middle eastern - I'd guess at Turkish but I'm not quite sure - it serves halloumi, moussaka and falafels etc. It's all reasonably priced, especially the lunch deal, and is very good food. Service is always friendly and the house white always goes down well.

Review of Parveen Tandoori Restaurant
27 Jul 07, 08:48
My favourite Indian restaurant 
The Parveen was one of the first restaurants to open in the Angel, and to this day is still going strong. The food isn't cheap, but is consistently brilliant. There are now loads of other Inidan restaurants in the area but none are as good as the Parveen.

Review of Angel Flowers
23 May 07, 23:21
Beautiful Little Flowershop
I've never really been one for flowers. I've bought them for other people on special occasions, but never really for myself. I popped into Angel Flowers just last week and bought a bouquet for myself and it brightened up my bedroom completely. The flowers had been well treated so they lasted a lot longer than I would have expected, and the range Angel Flowers had on offer was staggering. I think I'll end up a developing a bit of a habit.

Review of Blacks Outdoor Leisure

Outdoors shop
Blacks sells high quality outdoor gear - from tents to hiking boots to waterproofs. A good place to stock up if you're heading off on a camping trip.

Review of Aria
18 May 07, 23:58
Contemporary homeware 
Aria is a very fashionable shop selling things for your home - from corkscrews to espresso cups to chairs. The designs are very modern and different, and popular brands such as Alessi are available. However, Aria is incredibly expenive, and you'll probably only be able to afford it if you're decking out your million pound home.

Review of Carluccios
18 May 07, 13:18
Italian restaurant and deli
Carluccio's is an Italian restaurant and deli. It used to be one of my favourite restaurants , simple dining, reasonable prices, good atmosphere and delicious food. However, a recent change in ownership/management (I'm not sure which) has seen the quality of both the restaurant and deli food suffer.

Review of Caffe Uno
09 May 07, 10:53
Italian restaurant
Caffe Uno is a chain of Italian restaurants. It serves the usual pizza and pasta, salads and meat dishes. All of the food is good, and there are some nice wines on offer. However, I don't think Caffe Uno has much of an ambience.

Review of 171 Hair and Beauty
08 May 07, 15:48
Very good hairdressers
I have previously reviewed 171 and praised it's beauticians. I have since had my hair cut and coloured at 171, and was impressed. The hairdresser was very friendly, and he really listened to what I wanted (not a given, I've found from past experience), and I was happy with the result. The colour was also very good. I found the prices to be reasonable - certainly not cheap, but this is a trendy salon in Angel so it's what you expect.

Review of Pitcher and Piano
04 May 07, 11:49
Chain bar
Angel's Pitcher and Piano is a nicely done out bar that's good for a quiet drink during the week, and gets very busy at the weekend. Personally I find it an average place to go on a Friday/Saturday night, and drinks are pretty expensive.

Review of Browns
02 May 07, 22:23
Good restaurant and wine bar
Browns is a very large restaurant in Angel. It serves a range of nice English and Italian type food at reasonable prices. The sofa chairs towards the front of the restaurant are nice for a relaxed glass of wine or cocktail, and are equally well suited for an afternoon coffee. Browns isn't exceptional is any way but is pleasant.

Review of 171 Hair and Beauty
02 May 07, 21:41
Best wax in London!
171 is a beauty salon and hairdresser. I've never been to the hairdresser's, but I have heard good things from friends that have. The beauticians are fantastic - the bikini line and leg waxes they do are practically pain free (hard to believe I know, but true). I would never go anywhere else for a wax. The other treatments are extensive; from facials to eye lash perming. A particular favourite of mine is the relaxing back massage. Their prices are also reasonable, considering 171's central location.

Review of PizzaExpress
02 May 07, 19:47
Popular Pizza Place
Angel's Pizza Express is a very vibrant restaurant, with high ceilings and modern art on the walls. Of course it serves up the usual pizza you get in any Pizza Express, but it's always worth going for the dough balls and garlic butter.

Review of Afghan Kitchen
02 May 07, 11:39
Very good restaurant
Afghan Kitchen is a fantastic restaurant which lies inconspicuously in a tiny building in Angel. The set up is pretty simple , there are a few dishes on offer, for instance coconut chicken, which is served with rice. You eat on simple long benches with clean and modern surroundings. Afghan Kitchen is also pretty cheap.
