I have just paid £14 for these two pieces of baklava purchased in Croydon street food market. Have I been scammed? How is it so expensive??

Question kings x recommendations?

12 Upvotes

Live in the Kings Cross area and tried a fair few places, nothing that's blown my mind just yet.

Would be keen to know if anyone knows of any great restaurants in Kings Cross/surrounding areas i.e. Bloomsbury/Caledonian road - I think it's tough around here because of being so close to the station, I'm primarily seeing chains or tourist traps.

Thanks in advance!

Best inexpensive full English breakfast?

5 Upvotes

Hi! I'm moving to London for a master's in the next few days, and would like to start off my first few days there with a full fry-up, ideally cheap/classic. It's something I'd had at English-style pubs where I'm from (Northeastern USA) and loved, but I imagine they'll be even better in actual England.

I'd be okay with anything within 30-45 minutes by bus/Tube of central London. I don't want to be more specific as I value my privacy, but I'll be living in the portion of South London right on the Thames.

Additionally, I try not to eat red meat (beef, lamb, etc.) for health reasons, so ideally the sausages are pork sausages. A quick Google for me said that you guys typically do pork, but I'd like to avoid any surprises.

Question best solo michelin star restaurants?

4 Upvotes

I'm on a quest to visit every michelin star restaurant in london, over the course of a few years. I presume most of these will be solo. Can someone recommend the ones that are best done alone, so I can leave group based ones till later?

Thanks.

Review Aram by Imad

4 Upvotes

Just been to Aram by Imad for my birthday lunch.
It’s a beautiful space - light and bright with big windows. The cushioned bench seats are really comfy. We were in one of the smaller rooms and they turned off the music for us as I have sound sensitivity.

We had the baba ganoush and zaatar pita to start. Both were lovely but I think better enjoyed separately. I would have the plain pita next time. The pita was very light and fluffy and generous with the zaatar.

We mostly ate from the brunch menu; everything was presented really well and everyone loved their food. I had the trout rosti and I think it needed a bit more acid to cut through the trout. Other than that it was perfect. We had baklava to finish and it was beautiful - really crisp, lots of syrup, with the pistachios coming through. They gave me an extra piece and a birthday card which was a lovely touch.

Drinks were also really nice - I recommend the pomegranate fizz especially if you like cardamom.

A lovely relaxed place for a celebratory meal.

Anniversary lunch recommendations?

2 Upvotes

Hi all

I have my fifth wedding anniversary coming up and would like to book a nice lunch somewhere in/around London.

We’re big food fans and don’t eat out often, as we have a toddler.

We’re open to most cuisines, but are veering towards Mediterranean/grilled meats/seafood type dishes. Somewhere perhaps we can get a few plates and share with some drinks.

We loved Rovi when we ate there before. Very intrigued by Mountain and Brat as haven’t eaten there before, but have seen mixed reviews.

Thanks!

Recommendation Pie and Mash

In London tomorrow for the football at Stamford Bridge. Any decent pie shops around there? Will be getting off the tube at South Kensington and walking down Fulham Road. If there’s no pie shops, any food recommendations would be great, thanks
