After a long day of walking around London, we found our way back to Camden Town and were starved…read more And it was 10 p.m. A bag of crisps wasn't gonna cut it. Enter Istanbul. Kebabs? Sure! But let me tell you...this is SO much more than just another kebab shop! I wish I could tell you what we ordered, but I can't. Mine was a stewed lamb atop hot bits of pita and slathered in their house sauce (like sour cream.) Oh good lawd IT WAS SO GOOD! Also equally delish was the hummus and pita. Service was super, food was amazing. Do yourself a favor and visit! I wish we were locals so we could eat our way through the entire menu. P.S. They do Uber Eats/new delivery if that's more convenient for you!

OMG! So much food…read more Between the 2 of us, we ordered 1 main course (iskander kebab) and 3 starters (sausages, imam bayildi - stuffed aubergine and falafel). The food was all super tasty, but we had so much leftover! Both of us had skipped lunch and were having early dinner, but we barely put a dent on the amount of food that arrived. As soon as we ordered, we were brought Turkish style bread lovingly buttered and 4 different dips (hummus, minty yoghurt, cheese and a tomato one). This itself would have been a sufficient meal for us both. The falafel came settled on a bowl of hummus. The side salad with the main arrived in a plate of its own. Service was very fast and the lady serving us was lovely as were the line of chefs we passed by on our way in and out. When you peep through he window, it looks like a tiny kebab place, but they have really comfortable seating at the back. Some of the other places we wanted to eat at in Camden on a Friday night were completely full, so we entered this place on a whim, but left completely dated and satisfied.

We were on our way to another restaurant up the street and we all decided we could no longer be bothered with walking, that's when Sömine appeared in the distance. We decided to gamble and eat here instead. This is when laziness actually is beneficial. The staff here is so friendly and funny. You were served with the complementary items and given recommendations based on our eating preferences. My fellow veg heads we can eat here! They have several items on the menu that cater to vegetarian boundaries (vegan I'm not so sure). I forget the name of what I ordered but it was almost like a meatless and pastaless lasagna. It was de-lish-us! The place is a bit small with the tables fairly close to each other, so be careful when moving around. Luckily for us, there was one other party there so we had room to stretch our limbs. I would definitely recommend this place

And given that I was practically a novice to this area, I whipped out my phone to consult the opinion of my fellow Yelpers as to where they suggest a starving bloke should find consolidation for his stomach. Sömine popped near the top of the list with overwhelmingly good reviews - amongst others, one by Lizzie G, whose reviews are generally superb! I walked along Kingsland Road, with its mixture of ethnic supermarkets, trashy clothing stores and fried-chicken shops. But the further North you go (towards Stoke Newington), the more the area seems to become "cool", as you can find hip restaurants and coffee shops for the yuppies and hipsters that slowly, but surely seem to "gentrify" this area. Sömine is as low-key as it gets - in fact, it resembles a cheap cafeteria of my long-gone university days. But let's turn to the food for a minute: they mostly offer stews, which are on display already from the outside. The guy behind the counter explained to me the various flavours/ingredients and in the end decided on a vegetarian stew and a stew with minced lamb and aubergine. He ladled them both on a soup-plate and on the side he served me some pickled vegetables and rice. (I specifically asked for the rice to be served on a separate plate.) What I liked best about my dining-experience here was watching the kitchen ladies making Turkish raviolis right there in the restaurant (see photo). For some reason, this act of making food right here and there, made me believe that all their food is made with a similar passion...

I was…read morecraving a pork souvlaki (Greek kebab), and the owner couldn't have been happier to divert from the menu to make my request. While the pork was on the grill, he brought some dolmades to the table, vine leaves stuffed with rice and mince. Delicious! The souvlaki was equally as amazing - beautifully cooked pork shoulder wrapped in a pitta with salad and tzatziki. I was stuffed in the end. Great place. Definitely recommend if you're looking for good Greek food in the area!

The assortment of salads and vegetables to choose from made for a light, energizing meal (until we got to dessert) and I can't recommend this restaurant enough!! It's not overly fancy and the focus is on the food. You walk in to what feels like a little market with salads and baked goods on display that you're able to order from the table. The menu always changes but honestly anything he makes is delicious so just try to taste as many things as possible!

I'd wanted to check out an Ottolenghi while we were in town anyway, and it seemed like a great place to get pastries for my husband and kids and something more interesting for me. We walked over from our hotel at around 12:30 on a Saturday, with the goal of getting back to the lobby by 1:00. Ottolenghi was nearby, tucked into a cute, very British sort of alley. Thankfully, the place was quiet, and we were able to sit and eat a fast lunch. The set-up was a little bit confusing, with a take-out operation in front and a larger cafe area with table service. The cafe seats were maybe not available for take-out customers, but I was able to talk to the host and get a table for a short dine-in situation, with food selected from the take-out section. The boys got croissants, but I wanted some of the lovely savory pastries and deli salads on display. Weirdly, I wasn't allowed to get the first thing I asked for, a tartine with sugar snap peas that was take-out only for some reason I cannot imagine. But I did get a brioche laden with courgette, pitsachio, and mint, as well as a summer deli plate with my choice of three salads. I went with the green beans with roasted pineapple and jalapeño dressing, the roasted carrots with pistachio, lemon, charmoula, and ricotta, and the roasted lemon and sweetcorn tabbouleh. Everything was fresh and tasty, and we were able to eat and leave in like twenty minutes flat. Service was fine, despite the arbitrary withholding of sugar snap peas. Ottolenghi is a London icon well known in America, and while I don't think it's as exciting as, say, Dishoom or St. John, it's also an easy, casual place with multiple locations, where you might get some good food on the go.

Basement Galley started off as a supper club at the basement of Tom Fothergill, and his flatmate,…read moreChef Alex Cooper's house. From there they moved on to a more unique approach, wanting more privacy in their house and got permission to create a fine dining experience in an old abandoned Victoria line underground train. The underground supper club is now taking place at the Pump Museum near St James Station Walthamstow where a 4 course dinner is served with a cocktail on arrival, a choice of a full bottle of red or white wine during the course of the meal and finishing the dinner with a glass of champagne. The menu changes monthly but they usually update it on their website if you want to know ahead. I was almost at doubt I was even on the right path when I was making my way to this supper club. The surroundings varied from residential to industrial with little signs that a cool establishment could exist anywhere nearby. But search in Basement Galley on Google and have it pinned am I assure you will find it okay. Staff were incredibly friendly and although the arrival time said 19:00, many arrived early to enjoy their cocktail. As soon as you see the train it almost immediately puts you in awe at how they managed to convert the carriage into a restaurant and make it look so fancy with the lanterns and candles lined with cutlery and wine glasses whilst giving you nostalgic memories of cramp busy journeys on the underground. It's a completely polar opposite feeling. Heritage tomatoes, bufalo, olive, Parmesan and thyme The title of the dish does not justify the creativity that went into it. Lovely array of different tomatoes adding vibrancy and colour to the dish and I thought it was very clever of them to use minced olives to season to the dish, adding complexity to its flavour as well as an interesting texture. The buffalo cheese was incredibly fresh and bouncy and balanced out the salty olives perfectly. Thyme adding another dimension of flavour whilst the Parmesan crumb added a lovely crunch and umami Green asparagus, ricotta & green pea, spiced cashews Slightly on the salty side but that could be because of the overly spiced and seasoned cashews which therefore was forgiven as they were lovely and well spiced. I loved the various of textures coming together in each bite from the crunchy mangetout, soft green peas and the lovely refreshing puréed asparagus and ricotta helping bind everything together. Cashews added that extra boost of flavour with its spice but also a subtle sweetness from its natural flavours. Finished nicely with Parmesan for a richer flavour and umami Red quinoa and wild rice, herb, duck, fennel Unfortunately the duck being the main deal was very tough, chewy and fibrous. Quite an effort to eat but luckily it was juicy and packed full of flavour which made it worthwhile. Wild rice and quinoa added a wholesome touch with its crunchy and soft texture and finished nicely with mashed fennel to balance out that textures with its light creaminess. Strawberry and cream, dark chocolate and baileys, amaretti Such extravagant flavours for such a simple looking dessert. The dark chocolate tart was obviously made from a high quality chocolate seeing how rich and smooth the texture was with lovely strong notes of baileys giving it lovely hint of bitterness and coffee aromas. Strawberries were fresh and sweet and helped lighten the thickness of the chocolate tart whilst the ice cream helped accentuate the velvety texture further with its creaminess I seriously did not expect such original and creative dishes and such high quality of food especially when no kitchen was in site and we were in the middle of no where on an abandoned train. Staff were informative and friendly which added to the charm of the evening. Portions aren't exactly big but leaves you satisfied and just about full. You do feel you are drinking more than eating but all the drinks were also excellent in quality and a great choice. It's definitely not a dinner you would forget and a great gift to those who like trains and unique food experiences. I absolutely loved it
