Bubala review – the Middle Eastern vegetarian and vegan restaurant taking Spitalfields by storm
If vegetables are so delicious, then why do so many vegetarian and vegan restaurants insist on making them resemble meat instead? It’s never been easy eating out as a vegetarian in London. Prior to the noughties, your choices were largely divided between Indian restaurants of variable quality and hemp-ridden Mildred’s-type establishments which were almost universally … Continue reading
Berenjak review – this JKS restaurant got me hooked on Iranian kebabs
Iranian stews and kebabs in Soho It’s strange to begin a restaurant review by talking about another restaurant, but bear with me for a moment. Some of the best dishes at Brigadiers, an Indian restaurant in the City, were the kebabs which meant it was immediately noticeable when the kebab chef responsible, Kian Samyani, left … Continue reading

Bababoom vs Maison Bab review – new wave kebabs head-to-head
Islington brisket vs Covent Garden celeriac Traditional Turkish kebabs are nigh-on perfect. Whether you prefer shish, kofte, doner, iskender or beyti, the smoke and sizzle of a charcoal mangal is hard to beat. The wisest restauranteurs know better than to attempt ‘elevating’ or ‘refining’ these timeless classics, but instead attempt to put their own personal … Continue reading

Previous residents had a curious European fixation with some of the streets humorously named after continental cities. Many of the late 19th … Continue reading
Berber and Q review – Middle Eastern barbecue in Haggerston
The incredibly satisfying BBQ you never knew you needed If you’re a superficial knee-jerk reactionary, then you’ll hate Berber and Q before you even step through the front door. It’s located in Haggerston, near the epicentre of horn-rimmed plaid-shirtedness that is Shoreditch. Heck, its next door neighbour is a board games cafe. Everything is ‘reclaimed’ from the premises, a … Continue reading
Eating my way around Jordan
This travelogue about Jordan is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage Telling people that I was going on holiday to Jordan elicited two responses. The first involved concerns about my safety which was charming but unnecessary – Jordan is a haven of stability by any measure, but especially compared to its neighbours … Continue reading
Maroush V take away review – Lebanese food delivered
This review is in partnership with JUST EAT – that means they reimbursed me for this meal. But they had no foreknowledge of, or say over the content of this review I rarely eat take aways anymore, mainly because the choice often comes down to which one of the three Ps I want to subject myself … Continue reading
