Had a Deliveroo of this and it was really great. Lemon rice, lamb curry, paneer, Masala chips (yum!) and nice pakora. Thumbs up!

Big Slice Pizza Co at Fika
Found these guys looking for garlic pizza on Deliveroo. I actually want to try their normal pizzas, because they’re obviously very good at it – really great light dough, pecorino cheese in my case, totally smashed it. Points down only because I could hardly taste the garlic in my garlic pizza despite ordering extra!
Verdict: Ok

Kitgum
East African/Gujarati small plates, very nice food and nice service. So why just “ok”? I enjoyed it, but it’s a pretty cramped and plain space, and for what they’re charging I wouldn’t hurry to go back, is all; it’s a crowded space down here!
Verdict: Ok

Paris Wine Bar
As the name suggests, focused on wine, but went there with some friends and started with a cocktail, moved onto wine. A spacious read “outside” area is not really outside, but it is very pleasant, and the few tapas plates we tried were very nice – although fairly spendy. Overall, very nice.

Salt Shed
Lovely. Steak and burgers, not a huge menu but beautiful food, in particular my burger was really really tasty for a lot less than other premium burgers. Good price, relaxed vibe.

Good Friends
A Chinese renowned for authentic Chinese food. Had some delivery and it was pretty good, certainly very good factoring in the price.

Easy Tiger
Surprisingly small little pub offering Indian street food. It’s very tasty, although don’t make the mistake of trying to eat just small plates. You really want to have one of their mains and maybe a couple of small plates. But delicious, and lovely people.

Halisco
Been meaning to go here for ages and it is really, really good. Great home made chips and guac (really good guac), then a great selection of small plates – we had chicken croquettes with orange and habenero jam, cactus and smoked cheese hash browns, and crispy pork belly. Then two crispy oyster mushroom tacos. All in the £9-£10 range, but very generous servings. Plus, the tequila and margaritas are amazing!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 64 Preston Street
Casa Don Carlos
Been meaning to come here for a long time! A charming little “traditional” style tapas place, unlike most which tend to try and be cool. Just really tasty tapas and nice people.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 5 Union Street
Bao Bun
A cute little place, with very nice dumplings, and tasty herby fries. But the bao buns were really pretty basic and just ok. Much better going to the Pond which is nearby.
Verdict: Ok
