Nusa Kitchen in Islington

Good food on the go. Portion size is ok. Some halal options too.

Not a good experience. I feel ripped off and cheated. First the positive: The woman was very knowledgeable about the menu and what was gluten free (there are two gluten free options). Now the bad: the meat was terribly spicy and unpalatable. It tasted strongly of chili and I knew it was going to ruin my stomach. I ended up throwing it all out and what a waste of 7.5 pounds (this hurts on my student budget). I informed the staff that the meal was horrible and too spicy for me but they didn’t do anything. Luckily there was a Sainsburys not far away so I could but something else to eat. I recommend skipping this place.

Ordered the tofu rice bowl and had about 4 pieces of tofu, the food had no taste and was mainly filled with leafy salad, pretty disappointed in this as it £6 something, no value for money whatsoever.

I'm usually all about eating large portions of meat and this place seems to advertise healthy salads and similar a lot so I put off going here for a long time, finally decided to give them a try and wow! Excellent malayan beef rendang...this place is way better than I expected...even the dressing on the salad is amazing!The staff is also polite and helpful. Will visit again.Didn't like the sauce in the container but the meat was juicy so not a big deal.

The staff were lovely, however I paid almost £6 for a vegan noodle pot that was supposed to be o contain kale, tofu and mushrooms. I got a pot full of noodles with one slice of a mushroom. 😭

I happened to pass by this place in a hurry for lunch, and it’s definitely what I was looking for.Healthy, fast, cheap and tasty food.If you are in the need of a quick bite, this is definitely the place if you are around :)

Every time I don't manage to bring lunch in from home, I go to Nusa. No matter the weather and no matter if I've already had it that week. They have around 10 soups at a time which change weekly. All of them warming (most spicy), delicious and filling. Good veggie and vegan choices. The rice boxes are also great.

I used to go there quite often at lunch time to enjoy their beef rice box. Unfortunately one day I ended up with an insect in the box (an ant). Those things happen but the staff reaction was the real disappointment. It took three different people to agree on a refund without much excuses. I do hope they reviewed their cleaning procedures.

I came here for lunch with 5 friends around 13:15, and as expected, the queue was quite long, but it moved very fast.The serving system works very efficiently in here.They have an excellent choice of soups and rice dishes here. Good vegetarian and gluten free options as well.My Vietnamese Chicken & Sweet Potato soup was very tasty and falvoursome.Unfortunately there isn't much seating space inside (only 2 tables and 12 seats in total). We managed to grab one of those tables after waiting for about 15 minutes, but it felt too stuffy and a bit uncomfortable to eat inside. Next time we’ll just take away and go to eat in the park nearby, if the weather permits :)

I often visit Nusa Kitchen for lunch as I work around the corner. They have a good selection of soups which come with either rice or bread at no extra cost. Spicy Lentil is particularly good. Price is ok, ranging from about £3.95 to £4.50 plus 50p extra for toppings. Friendly staff, long queues but moves relatively quickly!
