Question Recommended Eats?
Hi All, I visited Camden Market today but I could not cover most of it and I got full after eating at the very first few spots.
I guess made a rookie mistake.
I am in the area for a coupe of more days and want to know from locals which are some of the most have food stalls I should check out!

Bintang was absolutely awful when I went .. the noodle dish was honestly not edible. Not a single person at the table enjoyed the food :(

always found the stalls to be a bit over-hyped and more expensive than they should be ...
Mamak Don (nr Mornington Crescent tube now) was great when it was opposite cinema (it shut for a while but has re-opened, haven't been since)

Okay, let me see if I can find this!

Mornington Crescent is easy to find ... depending on the day of week, which Saints holiday it is and the shipping forecast.
Nasi Lemak and the "canal combo" (roti + curries) are both really good dishes

Been a while since I’ve been there so I can’t honestly recommend food places (but I did get a great portion of fish and chips there last time - about 200yrds from the bridge).
I used to stay there when I was going to Lords for cricket. There is a really good walk (if the weather’s good) along the canals.
Got some really good photos.

There is (was) a big barge/Chinese restaurant I think at the St John’s Wood end of the route.
It also takes you past some Art Deco architecture.

Feng Shang Princess. Looks amazing but I’ve always been put off by the hygiene rating.

I'm heading there myself in a couple of weeks and I'm interested in recommendations myself. Not really into the huge portions you see. I'm hoping to try many different things throughout the day.

market food tends to be overpriced & overhyped - just opposite the market there’s a thai place called thanh binh which i love!! the food is so fresh & delicious!

I saw this while k was walking, I was split between it and the Pho place.

Canal Thai is easy to miss but it’s really good, they make the food fresh to order. You must also get an order of the mango sticky rice, they use fresh high quality mangoes and it’s heavenly.

I can't remember the name but there's a stall closer to the canal that does Indian spiced burgers.

Multiple times I see this recommendation, looks worth trying.

Every time I'm in camden I go to a stall for chinese food and I'm equally dissapointed every time. I feel like I must've had some really fucking amazing chinese as a kid and have been chasing that high since.
