London Food Journey

My attempt of staying ‘consistent’ and posting more frequently… (Seeing as I’m sitting on 97632688 edits of content which has never made it to Instagram…) Monday has wiped me out. 🥹🥹🥹

…Here’s a snap of a kunafe pull from @thebosporusuk tho 🧀🥹👏🏼

TACO TUESDAY 😛🌮 Finally got my paws on @meatheadmexican Birria Tacos, and it DID NOTTTT disappoint 🤤🥹👏🏼

📍Mem & Laz Brasserie - Islington 
⭐️ 5/5

Possibly one of the most underrated hidden gems in London, intimate dining serving up DELICIOUS Turkish food 🤤🇹🇷 

We were in the area for lunch and dropped in to check out Mem & Laz’s lunch menu - Absolute bargain for two courses (We wanted to get desserts elsewhere) Highlyyyy recommend! Crunchy chilli sauce is also TO DIE for 🥹👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

💜 UBE CRÈME BRÛLÉE BUBBLE TEA & A MATCHA PEACH OOLONG TEA 💚🍑🧋 

From non other than @thealleyuk 🥳🙌🏼 Super excited to have a branch riiiiight by work - The perfect afternoon pick me up 😻 #gifted

📍Gokyuzu - Harringay
⭐️ 4.5/5

Visited Gokyuzu a while back for a well needed munch and this place did NOT disappoint 😮‍💨👏🏼 The first time I had visited was a few years back, with a large group of about 20+, this dinner was much more intimate and we ate until we couldn’t walk 🥹

INSANE Turkish food, our favourite (and I still dream about this dish) was the Sarma Kuzu Beyti; Seasoned mince Lamb grilled over charcoal, wrapped in lavash bread and mozzarella, topped with tomato sauce and butter - INSAAAAAAAAANE. 🤤👏🏼 Complimentary salad, Tzatziki and fresh bread is also served whilst you browse the menu 🇹🇷🫶🏽

Didn’t rate the Chicken Shawarma- A little on the dry side. Künefe here is definitely up there with my favourite spots in London, the perfect way to finish up our meal with some Turkish tea ☕️

Your local burger spot is now serving up HALAL free-range chicken 🍗  @honestburgers #invite 

As of July 6th, Honest Burgers is officially catering to a halal diet, serving up free-range chicken across various London locations 🤪 We had The Buffalo Fried Chicken Burger and The Chicken Pesto Burger - Unfortunately, Chicken Wings had finished for the day (…Yet to jump onto the chicken wing bandwagon still…) A new halal spot to add to the list for a casual lunch or dinner out 🤪🍗🍗🍗

…also let’s just take a moment to appreciate HOW good the chips are here 😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
