    Hearty beef burger with fresh lettuce and rich sauce, served with crispy French fries and a side of creamy dipping sauce.
    The restaurant interior blends modern and rustic elements, featuring wooden tables, soft gray chairs, and large windows that fill the space with natural light, complemented by stylish pendant lamps and strategically placed green plants.

    Excellent food and great atmosphere!

    Grilled marinated meat served on a bed of spiced fluffy rice, topped with crispy fried onions for added texture.
    Crispy golden-brown croquettes served with a spicy aioli and garnished with black sesame seeds.

    the food and service was amazing. I would definitely go back again for their grilled picanha - cooked to perfection!!

    They added £5 on top of the fork 40%, I mean if you don’t want to do the 40% just don’t. But we came all the way to the restaurant and found out they needed to add £5 extra to every dish. Not very happy with that

    Filo was very lively when we visited as it is near to Emirates Stadium and The Arsenal was at home. Understandably, our meal took longer to arrive but was excellent when it did. Standards of service and cuisine are high here which made for a very enjoyable evening

    Braised beef garnished with green onions, served with fluffy rice, seasoned creamy beans, sautéed greens, and assorted condiments.
    A plate of four small pastries featuring various toppings: one with a creamy white sauce, another with light gray foam, a third with a rich dark meat filling, and one partially eaten, revealing a soft interior.
    Smooth panna cotta topped with berry compote, accompanied by rich chocolate mousse.
    Grilled beef with a savory glaze, served with creamy beans, fluffy rice, and sautéed greens.

    I recently visited Filo Brazil in Highbury & Islington and tried the chef’s special slow-cooked ribs, cooked to perfection over 12 hours. The portion was generous, easily enough for two people, and came with a variety of sides. We also started with the Brazilian cheese breads, which were incredible—four different flavors, each unique and delicious. I highly recommend trying them! The Palm Heart Salad was also flavorful and fresh. We ended the night with the orange and caramel pudding. The staff were friendly, attentive, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to experience Brazilian flavors!

    It was such a weird experience. The staff were lovely but the food was away too slow. It was freezing and we had to eat in our coats. The room was so cold that the heat plates went cold before our food arrived. Also the beef was tough. Honestly i would not go back again.

    FilóOwner

    Sorry for your bad experience! Our heating system broke down during the coldest week we have faced since we opened Filó! We are working hard to try to fix it, but your experience unfortunately does not reflect the nights at Filó, where the food and atmosphere are always warm to warm your heart. I hope you understand the problem we had and we will be happy to welcome you back for a great experience in the future!l UPDATE: The heater is working now

    Creamy yellow soup with ginger and seafood, accompanied by a fresh vegetable medley, coconut-topped rice, and grilled meat with lime and onions.

    The restaurant and its ambiance was very welcoming and cozy. Everything we ordered was delicious especially the Feijoada. I will definitely come back to try different dishes.

    A central bowl of rice topped with grilled beef and green onions, accompanied by tender glazed ribs, various sauces, a bowl of seasoned beans, and fresh ingredients like diced tomatoes and herbs.

    It was our first time at Filo! The staff were attentive. Particularly Renata and Anna who looked after us particularly well. The food we ordered was particularly meat heavy but the chefs seem to know what they are doing. The slowed cooked ribs fell off the bone and was delicious. So were the beans! A special mention to the chicken hearts which were succulent and beautifully spiced! All in all an excellent experience and would go there back in a heartbeat!

    Creamy noodles topped with shredded chicken, crispy fried onions, and green onions, served with a side of coconut-flaked rice and a braised meat in savory broth.

    Service was great, food was served quick too. We have the croquettes which were crispy and flavorful. The short ribs were amazing, the fish stew was nice but a bit too thick which felt really heavy towards the end.

    This was my 2nd time dining here. I really like the location (close to a tube station), vibe of the restaurant (cozy but not too romantic so a great venue to meet up with friends but also great for a date night), and the food is SO tasty. The Fork gave me 50% off food - do check your bill because both times this was wrongly calculated, but immediately fixed when pointed out. I will book again via the app and can sincerely recommend to others.

    Thank you for your review. In fact, sometimes we have errors with the discount because it is done manually item by item, and only applies to food. Looking forward to welcoming you back to Filo.

    Excellent food and great entertainment with live music. However, when asked about the fork, they confirmed the offer was for all food, but only when the bill came did they say it’s for mains only.
