NFRC: Heading to London for a month

Lunch Reservations here:

Also hitting Ottolenghi's
 
Oh yes, also......Al Hamra. That is spelled correctly. Sooo good Lebanese.

And Star of India. They feature rotating menus from various provinces. We started going there when they were just a hole in the wall. And NOW. Seriously exceptional food in London.

If you really like good Indian food, check out one of Dishoom's locations. I consider the meals I've eaten there to be among my top five of all time.


When my eldest visits Europe for any reason, he tries to spend at least a day or two in London, and Dishoom is his first stop!
 
Ha! Look where I’m at!

A former roomie was in London two weeks ago and told me to go to Dishoom near the hotel we were both staying at: Saint Pancras

But this morning (Day 2) I opted to take the train to Cambridge before the students return next Tuesday.

So I’m at the Cambridge Dishoom Permit Room.

Hot chai and chicken keema pau for breakfast.

Well…it’s 10:51…so brunch-ish.
Naan isn’t available until noon…dang!

d go back after noon and grab a naan to go!
 
I have a booked track ticket for 3:00 PM (on it right now!) and reservation for the David Parr house. Plus I was walking everywhere (like the mile from the train station.

Actually Asheville has a James Beard winner for Indian food. Ate there before they won the accolades. Now the line to get in is out the door and down the block.
 
(Sorry about the image size. I’m working off my iPad and can’t seem to reduce the images.)

Day 3: Ate at one of my favorite chefs: Yotam Ottolenghi. He has multiple restaurants, but I opted for one of his delis.

I chose the pork kofta, butternut squash, basmati and hummus. It was ALL delicious.

And truly, the food is as beautifully prepared and displayed as it is in his books. So 3D matched 2D.
