Bintang Restaurant is a Filipino and Pan Asian dining room at 93 Kentish Town Road in Camden Town. Established in 1987, it remains on the street where the family first opened and is recognised as London's oldest Filipino restaurant. The intimate setting and generous tables encourage guests to order several dishes with rice and share them as they would at home.
Starters include crisp lumpiang Shanghai filled with beef and lamb, calamansi chilli wings and okoy fritters made from shredded root vegetables. These opening plates introduce the sweet, sour, savoury and spicy contrasts found throughout the menu. Pandesal sliders and other creative specials bring Filipino ingredients into a playful Camden setting.
Kare kare pairs slow braised oxtail with a thick peanut sauce, while chicken adobo is cooked with vinegar, soy, bay leaf and black pepper. Filipino lamb rendang and Bintang curry add coconut, lemongrass, tamarind, lime leaf and galangal to the selection. Chicken inasal, sisig rice bowls, seafood palabok and stir fried noodles broaden the choice for a shared meal.
Garlic fried rice, jasmine rice, roti and vegetable sides help complete the table. Ube and Milo ice cream, mango float and calamansi flavoured sweets continue the restaurant's distinctive character into dessert. Weekend brunch, karaoke and space for groups reinforce Bintang's long standing role as a lively family restaurant and celebration venue in Camden.
