Gilgamesh Restaurant Bar & Lounge was a restaurant and bar in Stables Market, Camden, London, from 2006 to 2018. Despite its Mesopotamian name and theme, the restaurant typically served South East Asian, Chinese and Japanese-inspired eclectic cuisine.[1]

Opened in June 2006, the restaurant was inspired by the Sumerian king Gilgamesh.[2] Furnished with dark wood and heavy furnishings, its owners claimed its reliefs and carvings were the work of over 10,000 workers from Northern India.[3] It contains a range of exotic imagery, and is intended to evoke the mystique of the Babylonian era. Its interior is said to be an "ostentatious replica of a Babylonian palace".[4] The tables and chairs were intended to be reminiscent of those of the palaces of Ancient Babylon. The London Restaurant Guide described its bar as being like a theme park, and says, "This is one of those restaurants that sets great store by glitz and it certainly seems to strike a chord with a clientele that isn't too "bovvered" about the food, preferring cocktails, champagne and celebrity."[5]

The restaurant closed in January 2018.[6]
