We had the 5 course Michelin menu. The restaurant was fantastic in catering to our intolerances which were a bit complicated. The staffs are attentive and friendly. The food was great considering the price point and the restaurant being Michelin recommended. It was quite an unpretentious restaurant which we enjoyed. I particularly enjoyed the tuna carpaccio and lamb. We even got a surprise little gift for our anniversary by the starts which was lovely
Went here with a friend, we went for dinner with their tasting menu. The restaurant is opposite of the king's cross station next to the tube station very easy to find. The day we went was raining outside, inside was warm and cosy. The overall atmosphere was nice and friendly. The tasting menu has 6 courses , I prefer their canapes. My friend likes most of them courses apart from their dessert. He said the refreshment sorbet is one of the best

Recently I've tried a few tasting menus and it's such a great way to try multiple dishes and different flavours.
Magenta restaurant situated in Kings Cross offers tasting menus, a la carte and crafted wine list. Magenta's menu is overseen by head chef Manuele Bazzoni who has a background in Michelin establishments in London and Italy.

🍴5 courses we tried (with wine pairing):
Charcoal sourdough
Tuna carpaccio with amalfi lemon and capers
Ricotta and parmesan agnolotti with broad beans, mint and lemon
BBQ lamb rack and belly, smoked goat's cheese
Coconut mousse, yellow peach salsa and blood peach sorbet
+bonus small desserts
.
I really enjoyed all the meals, the pasta and BBQ lamb rack and belly were our favourite. The wine pairing was great as we got explained all the wines and why they were chosen for the particular meals. The meals are on a smaller side but that's expected with the tasting menu concept.

My husband and I could not have had a better first meal for our honeymoon. The host and the waiter were both very attentive, and clearly experienced professionals.
We had the 4 part tasting course. It was so packed with delicious clean flavors. Each bite was a new wonderful variation in complementary flavors, with little pockets of surprise. It's rare that we won't share food with each other, but we both enjoyed ours so much, we didn't want to. The atmosphere was lovely. Bravo to the chef. Outstanding.
My wife and I had a delightful experience at Magent Restaurant. Saiful, the service person, was incredibly helpful and kind. His friendly service made our evening even more enjoyable.
We savored the Apricot Souffle and Maldon sea salt and caramel ganache with hazelnut banana cream, both of which were delicious. However, the Apricot Souffle truly stood out as the highlight of our meal. The restaurant's ambiance added to the overall experience, and we're grateful to Saiful for making us feel so comfortable. We'll definitely be returning for more wonderful moments like this
Enjoyed a lovely meal here with great service. Good location for King's Cross. Not cheap but everything was well prepared.
Dinner wth 2 foodie friends we had the chefs 5 course tasting menu. 1 coeliac and 1 glutwn free. All excellent including the glutwn free bread. Each dish tasted great with interesting and balance flavours and the right quantity. Wine list worked for us. Service was excellent.
What a nice surprise, the food was really good and the portion was just right. The service was amazing, the lady who served us was very attentive and made us feel very welcomed. The atmosphere was nice too, music wasn't too loud and we were able to have a really nice chat without shouting at each other! The best dish was the dessert, I love banoffe pie and it tasted exactly like one but with different textures. I'd definitely come back.
We had a wonderful lunch on the bank holiday weekend. We decided to eat at Magenta for my birthday whilst we were shopping around London. The service is great and the food is fabulous. From presentation to taste it was all of exceptional standard. They clearly take pride in the quality of food served. If you do decide to eat near London St Pancras/Kings Cross go here. You won’t be disappointed. Cocktails were tasty too!
Really enjoyed the new tasting menu.
Friendly staff and great service.
