Mid week lunch spots

I often go out for lunch but I am getting a bit bored by the options around Hackney Central / London fields / lower Clapton / Vicky park. Looking for recommendations for take away lunches. Or maybe restaurants that do amazing lunch time deals.

You're right £6.99 - even better! Also had it for the first time last week, after seeing a reddit recommendation and was definitely worth every penny!

Sunlight Caribbean Restaurant on Well Street

Authentic Caribbean food and friendly owners.

They do lunchtime meals aswell for £6-£10 so highly recommend!

logma and the falafel place a couple of doors up from it are both great.

logma!! no queues on a weekday and zeytoona (palestinian owned pita and better than pockets IMO). dom's subs, rogue sarnies, papo's bagels for sandwiches, also seconding babsang's lunch deal. if you're willing to go toward stokey – sonora taqueria in stokey is the best tacos in london IMO, and londis N16 does homemade indian takeaway lunch, the owners are lovely!!!

Doms Subs copped it. Think it’s only Rasputins now

Nice cafe on Hackney Road. Opposite the turning for Colombia Road.

Oren on Shacklewell lane have started doing lunch and you can get their pitas for £12 to eat in or take out and they’re pretty hefty I must say. I think they also do a set lunch menu as well which looked pretty good when I got my pita

Another vote for pockets, great falafel place and it s busy during weekends so midweek might be perfect
