Wing Wing

I’m always on the lookout for new and different exciting restaurants that offer up something different to the usual.

Wing Wing is a hip new fast food outlet that offers Halal Korean free range fried chicken!

Halal Certificate

At the time of writing this review, I’ve had Wing Wing on 3 different occasions. The first was a visit to the restaurant as a paying customer. The second, I ordered a chicken burger via uber eats to my office the 3rd was a bloggers event that Wing Wing invited me to, So, I’ve been able to sample a lot of the menu.

Wings and Chicken

On my first visit, I decided to try the chicken wings, chicken drumsticks and also a Bao burger along with some seaweed chips and some battered beans.

You can pick 3 different types of glaze to be coated on your chicken wings or drumsticks, Soy garlic, hot and liquorice

On all 3 occasions I’ve had food here, it’s been really good. It’s not your average fried chicken place. The glaze really enhances the flavour of the chicken batter and the batter itself is really crispy and delicious as well as the fact that the chicken is fresh and tender. Both wings and drumsticks are given the same glaze treatment. The wings are whole wings, so you get a good sized portion.

I think I prefer the drumsticks than the wings, only because you get the big bite of hot juicy deliciousness.

The chicken burger that I’ve had is also so good. They pack it with so many different and unique Korean inspired flavours and ingredients that it creates a really different texture and taste to what I’m used to.

The baos are also different in a good way, there was a little too much use of Slaw that made the Bao into a Mushy mess, but I prefer the assembly and taste of the burger.

Chicken Baos




The venue is bright and coloured with a strong Korean karaoke styled theme. It’s fast food, so you are given a buzzer when the food is ready to take to your table. I believe they also have a ‘K pop’ karaoke room at the back as well.

It’s really close to SOAS and UCL university, so i’m sure it will be popular with the local uni crowd.

The price is more than your average fried chicken shop, but I could definitely tell a difference in the chicken quality The cost of 6 wings is £6.90, the cost of 3 drumsticks also £6.90 and £2.00 extra for chips and drink.

If you like your chicken fried and wanna try something different than the usual ‘Spice Hut’ then give this a go. I recommend getting a mix of glazes so you can figure out your favourite flavour of choice.

Burger UK

Date of visit: Thursday 10th August 2017

Obviously, I like my burgers and so do many of you, so, I decided to drag my burger loving mate along and give this place a go. One of the things that drew me here was the fact that they had a fried chicken burger on the menu, a rarity amongst the halal burger restaurants in town.

The first noticeable thing about this place is the location, it’s half way between chalk farm and Camden station and off a side street that doesn’t get much foot fall. The next thing is the size, this is a tiny shack, that, at best would hold 16 people max. Most of the seating consists of uncomfortable stools, but there are a few padded chairs. I ended up on a small table with some stalls.

Menu

The menu at the time of visiting was very simple and small, reflecting the size of the venue. You order at the till and food is brought out to you.

Chicken Strips

We started the night with a mix of chicken strips, one portion tender strips of deep fried chicken thighs covered in Teriyaki sauce and sweet and spicy sauce. The Teriyaki sauce needed improvement, it’s definitely not authentic and really didn’t work.

5/10

However, the sweet and spicy was on point. Burger UK uses chicken thighs, which is more tender and juicier but also less healthy and normally a cheaper cut, most places use chicken breast because it’s leaner and easier to cook. The advantage of this cut is that you can really maximise the flavour you get from the tenderness of the chicken thighs.

8/10
Burger Time

Next – the beef burgers, we kept it modest and went for the 6oz patty for both the classic and chefs special.

Classic Beef Burger 6oz

Accompanying the classic, I added American cheese and caramelised onions. Looking at the burger you could be forgiven for thinking I ordered an onion burger. Looks like the cook really likes his onions – there were a lot of them! The kicker was that there weren’t actually any caramelised onions present, or if they were meant to be, they certainly did not undergo the caramelisation process. I had to remove most of the onions from my burger. The burger itself was not to my taste. My personal preference are burgers that are cooked on a hot plate grill and cooked with a dome to trap that steam and flavour. The burgers here are cooked on a traditional grill,  so burgers lose a lot of their natural juice.  Sadly, this burger tasted the same as so many other burger places that cook their burgers in the same way.

6.5/10

The chef’s special also had an excess onion issue, as well as none of those onions tasted caramelised, the main difference was that this burger had some added chilli sauce which gave it a different flavour. 6.5/10

Chef’s Chilli Burger





Next up, me and my friend both decided to get the fried chicken burger which is pretty hard to find, not many places do a deep fried chicken burger. So let’s talk about the good points. The chicken fillet was very tender, soft and juicy.  This is because they had used a chicken thigh piece, which is naturally tender and succulent, the batter was also crispy and cooked perfectly.

Chicken Burger

 

However, I found the taste of the actual burger bland, I wasn’t picking up any hints of any of the herbs and spices. I tend to be more critical of food that I can make better myself at home and I believe one of the reasons my own chicken burger  tastes great is because I use a blend of around 12 different ingredients; But with this burger I really couldn’t get any flavour other than the mayo, I think it may have been an off batch where not enough spices and herbs were used in the flour batter mix. 

Despite this, I have to state, it was really crispy, not oily, juicy, tender and cooked perfectly. Just lacked seasoning.

7/10

We also tried the sweet potatoes fries, which were just not pleasant: they were soggy and soft, I later found out that this was intentionally served this way because this is how the owner likes them. Soft and soggy chips?! So I decided to run a twitter poll

2/10
No Coke Cola here

Chicken burger and sweet potato

I spoke with the owner in depth and passed on my feedback. I must commend him on his vision and ethics of sourcing quality and halal ingredients, I like his idea of using free range chicken, grass fed beef, freshly made brioche buns and independent drinks, so no branded drinks like coke and sprite here, but hipster lemonade. Of course using quality chicken means it tastes better – but it also carries a bigger price tag, however, the prices are very good for the quality. The restaurant is still in it’s infancy and are still developing  their recipes, flavours and balance of ingredients – granted I may not have been blown away with the end product and was a little disappointed with the burgers, but I can see the potential with a few more tweaks, (and we are taking slight tweaks) the chicken burger, in particular, will be a winner.   

I was invited to review, the meal was complimentary.

Lokkum

Date of visit; Sunday 6th August, 8 pm

Whenever I come across a new Turkish restaurant I tend to roll my eyes… I usually find restaurants that serve up Turkish all have the same menu and type of food. You know, lamb shish, chicken shish the same cold and warm mezes and your giant platter of bland cheap cuts of meat cooked over a charcoal grill.

I’m not saying that I don’t go to these places, because I do, but they just tend to be the same.

So when I came across a new Turkish restaurant I naturally thought: “here we go, same old food time”. But boy… Was I wrong.

Menu
Menu
Dessert

The first thing that you’ll notice about Lokkrum, a new high-end Turkish restaurant in Woodford, is the quality of the decor and atmosphere. The moment I drove into the car park {16 cars max) I felt like I was in Dubai. Loads of nice looking cars, the exterior of the restaurant was lovely and really upmarket.

Once we entered I was greeted by the warm and friendly hostesses. The first thing you see is the area where they dry aged steaks in full view, followed by the clear high-end decor that this new restaurant had been kitted out in. The hostess gave us a quick tour and seated us in the main dining area. There’s a more casual and relaxed seating area at the front of the restaurant but since this was date night I wanted the nicer area.

The main restaurant area has a massive viewing window that looks into the kitchen.

I started the evening with a Strawberry Mocktail. I’ll tell you, it was a very good mocktail. Perfect balance of sweetness and good use of fresh strawberries. I find that if there’s a proper bar man who knows his stuff, then the drinks usually taste good. Definitely the case here.

Food

Complimentary bread served, warm and freshly made.

Fino Pastry

I didn’t order too much in the way of starters just kept it simple with an order of Borek on the menu they are down as “Filo pastry”  –   cheese and baby spinach and mixed peppers, which was delicious, just how I like it. Not too flaky and the filling tasted really nice with balanced flavours.

8/10




MAINS

For the main, well I had to get me one of those steaks. On the menu, there’s a 24oz steak! I went for the 14oz which is a pretty big piece of cow. I requested medium, normally I get medium rare.

Steak

As you can see it looks beautiful and comes with a side of chips, mushroom and choice of sauce, at £24.

It was cooked medium, some parts were pinker in the middle, where the meat was thicker. The steak was juicy and tender but lacked that beefy taste I was expecting. However, once I added the sauce it really improved the experience and enhanced the taste.

7.5/10
Mix Grill

The mixed grill was just brilliant. There is such a massive difference between the quality of meat here compared to say ‘Gokyuzu’ or ‘Kervan’. From the size to the taste. Everything is better. Like the lamb chop, the lamb shish was just on another level. It may seem smaller in terms of the amount of pieces of chicken and lamb, but just look at the size of the items of what you get. All items were cooked perfectly and were infused with that classic charcoal flavour from the grill.

9/10

Also on the menu, there is a lamb cage. I didn’t order this but I saw another table that did. Take my word on this, it looked amazing and I am definitely going to get this when I go again. It’s basically a cage of lamb grilled and then carved at the table. I then spoke with one of the partners who explained their ethos behind the restaurant, it was good to see another example of new Halal restaurants are pushing for something different.

The meal was rounded off with some complimentary desserts. (thank you lokkrum)

At first, I thought that the chocolate fondant was just a 90 second mug cake, but the inside was super gooey so I don’t think it was one. Chocolate was rich and sweet and not bitter, a good fondant.

7.5/10

 

 

We also got another chocolate dessert. I only had a little bit, I think the fondant was better.

7/10

Overall, I really had a nice experience here. From the service, decor and food, everything was on point. The price was also a lot less than I expected.

I definitely recommend this place for date night or when you go “out out”. I really did feel like I was in Dubai or in another country when I entered, it visited on a lovely late Sunday evening, all dressed up for date night, so that could’ve been why.

Babaji Pide (Closed)

Date of Visit: 3rd August 2017

So it might be slightly unfair to review a place that specialises in Turkish pizza and not actually reviews them for their Turkish pizza

I finished work late and wanted a quick bite but wanted to try something new on this occasion. (my go-to is usually banana tree or hankies)

Outside at 6pm

I walked past Babaji located on Shaftesbury avenue and decided to give it a try and, there were no waiting times.

I was seated upstairs where the decor has blue tiled textured walls and contemporary gold and shiny decor. I was seated towards the rear where I sat on the comfy seats with a view that overlooked the west end. Nice seats.

Menu

The menu is relatively small for a Turkish, but still, features all the usual suspects in the mezes and mains department.

I opted for 3 mezes:

The calamari deep fried, Sujuk (a spicy sausage), and Börek a Fino pastry filled with cheese and spinach.

Borek

None of the starters were dishes I would recommend. 4 pieces of Börek, I had one bite which was enough, the pasty was too flaky and the filling was not tasty.

3/10

 

The sausage was a single one, cut in half and looked like it was over cooked. The appearance was very unappealing and furthermore, it didn’t taste great.

4/10

 

The calamari, average, the batter was nice but the filling slight rubbery, I don’t know why I bother, nothing will beat busaba’s

5/10

 

For the main, we shared a Kulbasti, grilled bits of lamb, served with tomato sauce and bits of bread that could be mistaken for chicken. This was a nice dish, the lamb was tender and cooked well and had good flavours which were enhanced by the rich tomato sauce.

7/10

I was surprised that there was no complimentary bread served. When I asked they said they don’t do that, but then brought some out and offered it as complimentary… so I guess you have to ask.

Overall, the location of this restaurant is what drives sales, definitely not the food. It’s below average in terms of quality and taste. The positives were the decor and atmosphere, the upstairs is nice and the prices are not too bad considering it’s a tourist hotspot. Would I go again? Based on the 4 items I had. Nope.

Lima

Date of Visit: November 10 2016

I visited Lima in November 2016 and I’m writing this review in July 2017, the fact that I can sit here on the tube to work and write about it, must show how memorable the food was.

So, yes, this review is totally out of date and you probably won’t be even able to order what I had but I want to give you an idea about the quality of cooking and highlight what you can get here.

I went to visit the Michelin starred Peruvian restaurant at lunch to take advantage of the lunch special. It would be my first experience of such cuisine.

It’s located just off Oxford Street and very close to my office.

Before entering I knew I wanted to take advantage of the set menu, pictured below. £25 for 3 courses.

The focus he is on seafood and there are no halal meat or chicken options available.

 

Menu
Pre Starter

Black Bream Tiradito

Black Bream Tiradito

Black Bream Tiradito, served with organic carrots, red kiwicha and chia seeds.

To start, a beautiful looking dish. It was light and well crafted focusing on balancing the fish with the accompanying puree which worked well. The only issue was I finished this in a minute. No grace from me here.

Red Mullet

Red Mullet

Next came the main course. Red mullet with a crispy corn cake. This dish really left an impression on me –  10 months later I can still recall the new flavours that I tasted. There was a new discovery with each bite, a new texture, a new flavour that I was unfamiliar with and I liked it. When I saw the menu, I thought to myself, “a corn cake.. Really? Is that going to be any good?”, but I’m really glad I tried something different. The sauce was a unique rose pink colour and everything about this dish was different to what I usually eat. Made from a specific chilli from Peru called Aji Amarillo, It was presented on a striking blue patterned plate and the food looked great.

Alfajores

For dessert I think i picked the wrong choice, my friend’s looked a lot better. He got the Chirimoya Parfait with strawberries and Amazonian chocolate. It was a lovely looking dish which was more to my taste than what I had unknowingly ordered. The Alfajores, which after googling is a soft, delicate cookie from South America made, with cornstarch. The cornstarch gives the dough a smooth, shiny texture and produces a tender, crumbly cookie. The Creamy Dulce de Leche holds the cookies together.

Chirimoya Parfait

Chirimoya Parfait

In summary, a totally different and welcomed food experience for myself. I loved the care and attention that went into the presentation of these dishes. Even nearly a year later I can recall that texture and taste of that main course.

Although the menu I had is most likely unavailable, I’d happily recommend checking this place out, it’s something different and the quality of ingredients and fish they used is a clear indication of the standards they hold.

Galvin La Chapelle

Galvin La Chapelle

Halal options require pre-ordering!

When I found out that Galvin La Chapelle can order in halal it piqued my interest, then I noticed they did a reasonable Sunday lunch roast for £35. I thought “I’ll have some of that.”

When I made the reservation I made sure that I pre-ordered the halal beef, as I wanted the Sunday roast beef and that’s the ONLY reason I wanted to visit.

However, despite confirming with the restaurant a week before and again the day before, I was informed once I sat down that they could not source halal beef and could only provide chicken. Well, as you may have gathered, I was not happy.

The venue is an old church and a beautiful airy space with stained glass windows and a high ceiling with exposed wooden beams created a lovely setting.

Inside the restaurant
Menu
Starter

I started with the Charred Cornish Mackerel, served with compressed cucumber and pickled Tokyo turnip. Mackerel has a distinctively rich, fishy flavour and was a little overpowering.  The plate was beautifully presented and was a very simple dish. 6.5/10

Starter
Main

Next came the main course and one that left me disappointed even before I ate it. When I sat down I really expected some red meat – lamb or beef is king when it comes to a Sunday roast. Sorry Mr chicken, you won’t cut it here.

Chicken breast, Yorkshire pudding, fine beans, roast potatoes and glazed carrots.

Overall, I was just so disappointed with the quality of the food. It was so simple and was on par with a pub Sunday lunch (I was with a few non-Muslims, their words). It was by no means a restaurant that holds a Michelin star. The potatoes were not to the standard I’d expect, not crispy or fluffy, It was the epitome of whenever I’ve had French cooking –  boring, simple and tasteless. Granted, I’ve only had French food a handful of times, but if you are reading this blog, chances are that you share a preference for food and palate similar to mine. 5/10

Main
Dessert

Valrhona Manjari chocolate fondant with crystallised pistachios and creme fraiche.  The dessert was another letdown. I was really expecting more. Instead, I had a chocolate fondant that had clearly been stuck in a microwave or at least tasted like it was. There wasn’t enough sweetness from the chocolate and the chocolate itself was harsh and sharp. Not a good dessert. 4/10

Dessert

Overall, the atmosphere and decor contributed to a different experience, the venue is airy and lovely to eat in. The presentation of all the food was great, however, the food lacked any positivity or taste that would add cause for me to recommend this place. I have to mark down on service – not the actual service on the day, which was good –  but I expected better from a restaurant that holds a star. Making a reservation was difficult, I didn’t get any follow up confirmations as I would expect. I asked for the service to be removed from the bill, which it was.

Pilau

Pilau

Working in Soho on and off for the last 7 years I’ve pretty much visited all the best it has to offer for a good lunch. So when the new Indian Street food restaurant opened up it was a welcomed addition.

At the time of writing, I’ve had a pilau rice box nearly 10 times and I’ve never had a food that’s so consistent in quality and taste.

The concept is simple.

STEP ONE Pick either a Wrap / Rice Bowl / Salad Bowl

STEP TWO Pick Medium or BIG

STEP THREE Pick your filling, BUTTER CHICKEN  /  LAMB & BONE MARROW  /  PANEER

STEP FOUR Add the extras, Lettuce / PILAU Slaw / Pickled Ginger / Red Onion/ Shoestring Bhaji / Fresh Chillies (Sauce: Mint & Coriander Yogurt / Mango & Apricot Chutney)

My choice is a rice, lamb, all the extras minus the slaw and no sauce.

Hands down, this is one of the best lamb curry’s you will eat. The lamb is always super soft and tender it has a somewhat melt in the mouth quality. The flavours are enhanced with the use of bone marrow which just adds takes you another level of taste town and in this town, everything is yummy.

I’ve also had the butter chicken twice, it’s good as well but the lamb is on another level.

Pilau is ideal for lunch but you can grab a box and sit in as well. It’s not a restaurant per se and is focused on the lunch time and take away crowd.

2 locations nearby, I prefer the Goodge st store.

Oliver Maki

Chicken is halal and so is the wagyu beef

Date of visit: 28 June 2017

I first saw this place a few years ago and it’s taken me a long time to make the trip. Oliver Maki is a Japanese sushi restaurant with a fusion twist.

I went on a Wednesday evening and the place was a like a ghost town. The restaurant is split across 2 floors. I didn’t want to sit downstairs, bad light (always have to consider lighting for photos) and close to a drafty door.

The decor is clean, modern and somewhat sterile. It’s going for that fancy chic stylish look but lacked the atmosphere to pull it off with any effectiveness.

The menus are on iPads and each menu item has its own beautiful picture to go with it. I liked this touch as there’s a large menu so it did help with narrowing down what to order.

I’m not a sushi pro, so I let my friend do the ordering as he’s a fan of sushi.

Kizami Wasabi Maki (8 pcs, Nori) £12

We started with some well-crafted sushi, Kizami Wasabi Maki. It had what you wanted: fresh fish and ingredients and balanced flavours.

7.5/10

Chicken Plum Sauce, £8

Since this place offers up halal chicken I wanted to try a chicken dish, so I got the well-presented chicken plum sauce. The chicken didn’t seem fresh to me and was a little overcooked which didn’t make it juicy enough, although it was the chicken breast which doesn’t tend to be that tender. Also, it didn’t have enough depth in flavour and was a very small portion size. 5/10

Sushi Jews, £29

This is what lured me in, seeing this picture looked pretty epic and very Instagram worthy. It comes with a heavy price tag, almost £30 for 12 pieces, more than £2 per piece. It was a mix of Maki and rolls, all fresh raw fish, there were some really nice ones that had a hit of unexpected sweetness and some with good flavours. Was it worth it? No. I couldn’t even get a decent photo, either.

5/10

Robata Miso Baby Chicken, £16

This tasted really nice, the burnt crispy edges created an extra layer of flavour and texture. The main issue was the portion size. Far too small and not enough. 7/10

Granted, I only tried 4 items off a massive menu, but I spent nearly £80 and left feeling hungry. Would I return? Not really.

The total was £77.63, including service. A pricey dinner for such a small amount, but that’s sushi for you and, in Soho, well, what was I expecting?

Honi Poke

Another good lunch spot in Soho, but it’s offering something different than the usual. Poke is a concept new to the London food scene. Originally from the tropical island of Hawaii. A Poke is fresh Hawaiiansushi bowl made with marinated raw fish, rice and a variety of fresh ingredients and zingy sauces. Poke means “to slice or cut” in Hawaiian. 

There is no meat on the menu.

https://www.honipoke.com/menu/

I got the HONI POKE (£8.90) – Salty mango, Sunomono Cucumber, Nori seaweed, Kimchi, Chive, Crispy onion, Chilli garlic sauce in a Sushi rice base and Tuna as my main. I found it brilliant! Loads of different things happening here, we have different temperatures, textures and tastes. Think it doesn’t have flavour? Think again. I got hit with heat from 2 different sources and loads of great flavours.

Thanks to Honi Poke for inviting me to come down and try a bowl.

Had my first Poke! From @honipoke What is a poke you ask..A fresh Hawaiian sushi bowl made with marinated raw fish, rice and a variety of fresh ingredients and zingy sauces. . No meat so fully halal. Well, I say fully they have octopus, which some say it not halal, so I won’t get into that. . I got a Honi Poke and it was really good. Tuna, salmon, Salty mango, Sunomono cucumber, Nori seaweed, Kimchi, Chive, Crispy onion, Chilli garlic sauce. Super fresh fish, loads of flavours and spicy, even the mango was a great touch, super soft melt in mouth mango! . Good for lunch and it closes at 9pm. The price if this bowl was just under £9.. I think that’s a bit expensive, but the price is for the clear quality in ingredients.
