There are many Lebanese restaurants on Edgware Road, London, and Maroush has quite a few of their outlets peppering the entire street. I’d gone to Maroush Garden’s for my friend’s birthday and the 4 of us ordered the “Lunch for 4” deal. At 90 pounds, you wonder what you get. Well…a lot. Hummus, muttabbal, tabbouleh,…

Breakfast at Pompidou
On a whim, my best friend and I went to Pompidou in Islington, London for breakfast. The vegetarian breakfast consisted of two slices of toast, two eggs, baked beans, mushrooms, two hash browns, grilled tomatoes (not in the picture because my friend doesn’t like tomatoes!) and a hot drink. The non-vegetarian breakfast consisted of two…
Raavi in London
Imagine my surprise when I chanced upon a small restaurant in London near Euston called Raavi Kebab Halaal Tandoori Restaurant. Used to Dubai’s very own Ravi’s in Satwa, I walked in with a critical mindset (I love Ravi’s in Dubai to bits!). And now I love the Raavi’s in London to bits as well. Their…
My Diwali at Dishoom London
I had first seen Dishoom when I was hopelessly lost in Covent Garden in August 2010. When I saw the restaurant, I stopped in my tracks and smiled for the first time since I’d been wandering in that quagmire of confusing streets. “Dishoom” is the sound I think of if there was a Bollywood version…
Where to eat in Shoreditch for £5 or less
1 of 4 View Slideshow Coffee Me 48 Great Eastern Street, London EC2A 3EP I had their Italian chicken toasted sandwich for around £3 and their cappuccinos come for £1.95. They also have £5 meal-deals, such as a sandwich, salad and a hot drink. Good food, and quite good rates. On a sunny day,…
The Frog Yoghurt (really)
Simple really: choose the flavour of yoghurt you want (I went for chocolate!), then pick your toppings (chocolate brownie and strawberries) and ENJOY! This one is in Bayswater, right across the tube station exit.
My new favourite place – Drink Shop Do
I discovered a café after my own heart – Drink, Shop & Do. A café/bar/design shop that has vintage items and quirky kitsch, it stole my heart a few seconds after I stepped in. I ordered a chocolate brownie and a hot chocolate (yup, chocolate overdose!) and my friends ordered a lemon drizzle, a chocolate…
Strawberries. Chocolate. Whipped Cream. And a waffle.
Loving small cafés in London. This was DELICIOUS! A hot waffle topped with whipped cream and stawberries and hot chocolate poured on top. What’s not to like?
The Innocent Café – get your 5-a-day for 5 pounds!
1 of 6 A unique concept that I stumbled upon online, the Innocent 5 for 5 café is one that’s open for just 7 days. You heard me right. Either sit down in the restaurant or avail of the the takeaways (apparently you had to book online and all the seats were gone when…
Thai food at Siam Central
My friend took me to a Thai restaurant, Siam Central, which is on Charlotte Street and runs parallel to Tottenham Court Road. Centrally located (take the Northern line to Google Street or Central to Tottenham Court Road), it’s a small place that I normally might not have noticed. Absolutely loved the decór – typical bamboo…
