I really enjoy Ethiopian food and have had two very good takeways recently. One was a stall at Startisan in Covent Garden (a small indoor food market), and the other from dodgy-loooking St Gabriel's Cafe at the top of Blackstock Road. The injera from there was amazing, so soft and yielding, just a beautiful texture, served with four different vegetarian stews/wat (none of which were that different from the other - more variations on a theme, but a delicious theme). A huge injera and a container full of food was £8 but provided two lunches - so decent value. The newish Street N4 just outside Finsbury Park station is also pretty good: their lunch special of a burger (which is good), fries (ditto) and a coke for I think £7.50 is really excellent value for the quality and quantity of the food. The chicken burger is a huge succulent breast in a lightly spiced crunchy batter, and the vegetable burrito is pretty good too (but not as good as Luardos!). Next door Pasta Remoli is actually very good too. Another local (for me) recommendation is Piccolo Diavolo, where I go when I get my lamb chop craving. Lastly, a few weeks ago a chum and I had an excellent meal at the Old Dairy. Not cheap, but very good food.

IM BACK  been a while food thread.I wanna take my pal to Korean BBQ. I'll be in Clapham Common and I live in North London. Normally I'd go to Seoul but that's a long old trek for me that day -- anything central you'd recomend? I'm leaning towards Asadal. I know Hang Kang is still around but maybe there's something better? Shame Dotori doesn't offer the authentic sunken BBQ-at-your-table jazz.

Go to Hoppers on Frith Street, which is the new place by the Ghymkana team. Deal with the fact that you'll have to wait for a table and can't reserve. Order one of everything of their amazing Sri Lankan menu and one of their Colombo gin and tonics. Thank me later.

If you want decent Korean near Holborn, Asadal is trad enough that Korean friends of mine have taken me there, and there's Tohbang a bit further down toward Farringdon.

Pacific Social Club's okonomiyaki is proper. It's Hiroshima-style, though, I imagine you meant Osaka-style?

I actually prefer Hiroshima style, but either is good. Thanks, I've been to Pacific Social Club for lunch before and it was excellent, will have to try and get along there for dinner.

I went to the goat on Fulham road for lunch just recently. It's down near the Chelsea and Westminster hospital, does basic set of dishes like burger, chicken, cod and good pizzas. They've got a decent set of choices for lunch £10 with a drink included. It's definitely a good choice if you're in the area and fancy something simple.

Any recommendations for a restaurant in Angel, party of ten. Something lively and not too expensive? Party includes some vegetarians so goon favourite Rodizio Rico is off the table.

Zilouf's is good as well and very lively.

Soo...slightly unusual request that may be simply way too vague to even answer, but thought it might be fun to see if anything comes to mind for you guys. No worries if not. I have a friend who used to have an eating disorder and it's kind of hosed their enjoyment of food as anything other than a necessity for years. They're starting to get to the point where they want to go out and 'enjoy' a nice meal, but still struggle with heavy meals and generally the feeling of being very full. So - where would be a great place to go which has excellent food but isn't stodgy/heavy/a big feast that requires stuffing yourself to the gills to really enjoy it? Restaurants, cuisines, anything really. I know it's slightly impossible to answer but just looking for ideas if anyone has any.

Where's the best fruit ice cream in London? All the supermarkets are pushing vanilla / chocolate / caramel or B&J marshmellow cookie dough junk. Where can I get a good raspberry ripple (or blackberry, blueberry, apricot, boysenberry (!) ripple for that matter)

Anae posted:Soo...slightly unusual request that may be simply way too vague to even answer, but thought it might be fun to see if anything comes to mind for you guys. No worries if not. Something picky and share-y, so tapas, maybe South Indian food (since it's on the whole less rich than other Indian food), and sushi are the things that immediately come to mind. With that said, not much food has to be eaten to excess to be enjoyed. When I was helping a friend with a similar story to learn how to food again I mainly just took her to places and made sure she didn't feel pressured to eat everything - it's fine to go somewhere and just have a couple of starters or sides instead of a main meal because, y'know, you're paying and so you're the boss. Just make sure to show that you're up for doing the same so that your friend doesn't feel singled out when picking at food instead of ordering the biggest steak or whatever. I also found that starting out by going to reasonable quality chains was a good way to start with my friend, since it had been so long since she'd been out to eat with friends that going somewhere that felt more anonymous helped her deal with the inherent panic of being in a temple of food. So rather than your friendly neighbourhood, family-owned place for dinner, I'd suggest - say - La Tasca for tapas. That sort of thing, where there's less pressure on them to be all about the etiquette and less fear of being judged for eating this or that in whatever way.

Great thread just landed here and will stay for 6 nights. I'm a Hong Kong goon that just came from Prague and Nuremberg. Man even a random kebab place here beats Germany and Hong Kong. I'm staying near royal oak and just now walked along Oxford circus and Leicester square. I do see a few pop up viet places in china town and do wonder if they taste decent. Then again it's much easier for me to eat east and south East Asian so I'm probably eyeing for British food. A really good Dutch restaurant in Amsterdam impressed me. I never knew potatoes could be cooked that delicious and croquettes need to be fried in the right temperature without being too hot and hard. Anyways I'm trying to find this place called salt which keeps on getting mentioned here. You guys got any good micro brew beer bars to recommend?
