Despite its Mesopotamian name and theme, the restaurant typically serves South East Asian, Chinese and Japanese-inspired eclectic cuisine.[1] Theme{{double image|left|Gilgamesh Restaurant3.jpg|150|Gilgamesh Restaurant4.jpg|150}}As the name might suggest, the restaurant is inspired by the Sumerian king Gilgamesh.[2] Furnished with dark wood and heavy furnishings, its owners claim its reliefs and carvings are 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 are also supposed to be reminiscent of those of the palaces of Ancient Babylon. The London Restaurant Guide describes 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] Celebrity connectionThe restaurant is popular with celebrities, such as Johnny Vaughan, Lisa Snowden, Sarah Harding, David Gest and Carol McGiffin, who has cited it was her favourite restaurant in London.[6] In April 2011, chef Gino D'Acampo allegedly requested to be seated in a section of the restaurant in Camden that was not being used, but lost his temper when staff would not let him sit where he liked and left.[6] He later launched an attack on Twitter on the quality of the restaurant's food, despite not having been served a meal, although fellow chef Andrew Nutter joined D' Acampo in denouncing the restaurant, remarking, "I have actually paid double just to make sure I will never return to the restaurant again."[6] The restaurant has now permanently closed. {{-}}References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.gilgameshbar.com/ |title=Dining |work=Girugamesh Restaurant Bar & Lounge |accessdate=17 May 2011 |quote=... influenced by the cuisine of South East Asia, China and Japan ...}} 2. ^{{cite book |last=Metzelthin |first=Pearl Violette Newfield |title=Gourmet |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Q83yAAAAMAAJ |accessdate=18 April 2011 |year=2007 |publisher=Condé Nast Publications |page=46}} 3. ^{{cite book |last1=Rahim |first1=Ali |last2=Jamelle |first2=Hina |title=Elegance |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EnsVAQAAIAAJ |accessdate=18 April 2011 |year=2007 |publisher=John Wiley |isbn=978-0-470-02968-8}} 4. ^{{cite book |title=The New Yorker |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5MzjAAAAMAAJ |accessdate=18 April 2011 |year=2006 |publisher=F-R Pub.
