  • The best one (I think) is the one nearest the top of Brick Lane - their carrot cake is amazing and dirt cheap too!

  • going there now. thanks:)

  • ok so the 2.50 bagel doesnt exist anymore, salty beef is for 3.70.
    loads of beef, and quite tasty too. service sucks big time, but in a very amusing way.

    the second shop, further from the top on the other hand sold me a cheese and bacon bagel and something deep fried for 3.70 itself, and the bagel was packed with bacon as well.

    good stuff!

  • ^ Miss Mouse - Victoria is pretty derelict of anywhere to eat that's not a lame chain of coffee shop or pub (I've worked ther for a few years and not found much). There a good coffeee cart called Flat Cap on Sutton Ground though (I think that's the name of the street).

    I've been past that Tachbrook Street market millions of times, but never eaten there, am definitely going to get involived in a falafel. Maybe in about 2 hours.

    This is turning into a bit of a falafel fest, so I'm going to add my twopence - **Hoxton Beach Falafel Stall on Whitcross Street Market. **Simply awesome.

  • ^ Miss Mouse - Victoria is pretty derelict of anywhere to eat that's not a lame chain of coffee shop or pub (I've worked ther for a few years and not found much). There a good coffeee cart called Flat Cap on Sutton Ground though (I think that's the name of the street).

    I've been past that Tachbrook Street market millions of times, but never eaten there, am definitely going to get involived in a falafel. Maybe in about 2 hours.

    As I thought.

    Think you mean Strutton Ground? Yeah, there's a really cheap pizza place there too :)

    Comme ça?

  • Oui, merci beaucoup!

    Updated map here: http://goo.gl/maps/XpbdR

  • I can feel a street food ride on the horizon...

  • Oops, sorry didn't realize I had taken it out

  • After you've filled your belly at Makan, (+1)
    try the Orange Camper Van Coffee guy.
    On a Sunday he has an array of seats 30 yards north
    of Makan, opposite the Portobello Green techno-sail
    and not as far as the Felafel King.
    On a Saturday he is along the Westway, sometimes as far as
    Ladbroke Grove.
    Good coffee & smiling service.

    Talking of felafel the Egyptian guy in the stand by Tesco
    does a great felafel roll for £3-4. (Not there on a Sunday though)

  • East title restored now too.

    LAVENDER HILL, BATTERSEA (& SHOREDITCH) - Mien Tay, Vietnamese. One of the best in London
    PIMLICO - Tachbrook Street Market - Falafel Bros - falafel wrap for £3 and damn amazing it is too. Been there so many times for lunch. Possibly addictive.
    ROTHERHITHE - Surrey Docks Farm Café, run by Frizzante (who are also at Hackney and Mudchute City Farm). Lovely breakfasts and Sunday lunches. Farm produced meat is on sale whenever available, as are plants, honey etc.
    VAUXHALL - Hot Stuff. Awesome curry, tiny prices. BYO, no corkage. Order a family naan, it is the size of the table.
    WATERLOO - Master's Superfish, Waterloo Road. Best fried fish in town.
    WATERLOO - "ev", Isabella St just off the cut. Great £10 Turkish Meze for two. They are the suppliers to Tas restaurants
    WATERLOO - Buen Provecho on the Cut, small market stall that serves good Mexican food for about a fiver.

    EAST
    BETHNAL GREEN - Noodle King. Massive dishes for a fiver.
    BETHNAL GREEN RD (top of Brick Lane) - Tas Firin for wicked cheap Turkish. Amazing pide and kebabs (veggie ones too). Nearly always busy. You can eat very well for a tenner.
    BRICK LANE - Beigel shop,24 hour and a huge salt beef bagel, £2.50
    BRICK LANE - Sunday Upmarket has some decent food and a good atmosphere. The Japanese pancakes with cheese and vegetables, strange mayonnaise and a rice ball thing for £4.50 is top, as is the stand with cold mezze
    BRICK LANE - Sweet & Spicy for Pakistani near Heneage st
    BROADWAY MARKET - Joy, Indian. This place is under-rated and dammed good!
    BROADWAY MARKET - Bella Vita. 2 pizzas and a bottle of S.Pellegrino for about £16
    CLERKENWELL - Sedap for awesome Malaysian (and near LMNH) at 102 Old St
    DALSTON - Mangal Ocackbasi on Arcola Street. Amazing Turkish charcoal grill, BYOB. Feast like kings for two is c.£30 (not including whatever booze you take). This place is all about the meat though - dunno how great the choice is for veggies.
    DALSTON - 19 Numara Bos Cirrik. Best Turkish in town, no argument.
    EAST HAM - Thattukada for Keralan at 241 High Street
    MARE ST - Tre Viet, Vietnamese. Full sit down meal for less than a tenner a head. Unless you have wine.
    MIDDLESEX ST (88-90) - My Old Place, Szechuan. Always busy. Huge plates of delicious authentic food and not just for meat eaters. Cash only.
    MILE END - Greedy Cow- Lunch time special ,6.50 burger ,side and unlimited pop. Great burgers and sides, Only available on weekdays though.
    SHOREDITCH - Calvert Ave (by shoreditch church), Home cooked thai that is made from seasonal veg. Irene, who runs it, is a real character. I can recommend the duck, pork belly and fish (cooked in tangy mango chilli sauce). Spring rolls + main + crumble for 2 = £25 - £30 and BYOB or wine.
    WHITECHAPEL - Indo opposite Whitechapel Mosque for superb pizzas & a great bar
    WHITECHAPEL RD - LaHore Pakistani / Kebab. Boom good and super cheap.
    WHITECHAPEL – Needoos, as good as Tayyebs, but cheaper and less queuing
    WHITECHAPEL RD – Tayyabs. Brilliant Pakistani food, again, super cheap and super super good. Booking essential.

    WEST
    BAYSWATER – Taza. Amazing falafel for about £3, just don't eat it standing up or you'll be wearing tahini
    EDGWARE RD – Mandalay for Burmese food, unfancy looking, incredible food, £10er a head including a beer will be plenty, booking essential
    EDGWARE RD - Kandoo for Persian is very good, a few doors down the road from Mandalay
    EDGWARE RD - Patogh for Persian just off Edgware rd (by cafe Nero).
    LADBROKE GROVE - Fez Mangal - Turkish BBQ with BYO IIRC. Good selection of meat and vegetarian dishes that won't break the bank - £20 will feed 2, easily.
    NOTTING HILL GATE, The Churchill Arms on Kensington Church St. Pub on the front, but authentic cheap Thai restaurant round the back.
    PORTOBELLO RD - Makan will give you change from a tenner. Best nasi campur I've come across.
    SHEPHERDS BUSH - Next to Barclays on Uxb Rd. Great kebabs but do a mix of Afghan/Lebanese/Pakistani so the curries make a perfect sit down meal, about £6 per person
    SOUTH KENSINGTON - Little Japan, tiny cafe, huge bentoes for about £5, cheap for a massive lunch

    CENTRAL
    DEAN ST - French House does bavette & frites for about £10 mon - fri lunch
    EXMOUTH MARKET EC1 - Morito - Small but perfectly formed tapas/mezze bar next door to sister restaurant Moro. Dishes from £2.50. Veggie dishes are about £4, specials a bit more. Great sherries.
    GOODGE ST - Le Pain du Jour, big, well-filled baguettes from £1.80, cheap baked potatoes and soup as well
    GOODGE ST - ICCO Pizza, start from £3.50 to £6 great pizzas
    HOPKINS ST SOHO - Lunch time food market; Look out for The Bread Man £2.40 sandwiches 10 times better than any supermarket sandwich, he is generally opposite Flat White
    JUDD ST - The King of Falafel, Judd St/Tavistock place - I like falafel, what can I say. This place is fantastic though, their 'moroccan bread' is a bit more expensive but stuffed with tomato or spinach and wrapped round really good falafel and salad. Best halloumi I've tasted as well
    LEATHER LANE - Sara's Food Store & King of Falafel. £4 for a lunch box of hot Turkish yum or about £3.50 for a falafel. Authentic and tasty.
    OLD COMPTON ST - Maoz, Delicious falafel in pitta for about £3.70, but with a sort of unlimited all-you-can-eat salad bar which they let you take the piss with. You just eat the filling from your pitta, fill it up again, take it back, repeat until bursting.
    PICCADILLY - Yoshino, must be the cheapest sushi in London. Shrink-wrapped in plastic but really good. £2.50 for a vegetarian lunch box
    REGENT STREET - Japan Centre - almost anything Japanese, love the dorayaki pancakes and korrokkes
    ST JAMES PARK - Ecco Pizza on Strutton Ground
    WARDOUR ST - Misato - great japanese fast food, bento box £8.60, huge queues on busy days, massive quantities
    WEBBER ST - El Vergel, chilean goods at 132 Webber Street
    WHITCROSS STREET MARKET - Hoxton Beach falafel stall. A wrap stuffed to the gills with mega falafel, weird brightly coloured pickles and nice fresh salad. A little pricey at a fiver perhaps, but worth it for sure. Lots of great food stall on that market in fact. Get a coffee from Pitch 42 after. Great brew, nice barista and only c.£2, which is relatively cheap compared to most.
    WIGMORE ST - Comptoir Libanais - nice modern Lebanese food, canteen style cafe, sub £10
