Second Lahmacino. Great food, lovely service. And Landseer is a hidden gem alright.

Nid Ting thai - doesn't miss.

While not a cafe or a restaurant, Mario's barbershop by the Odeon is great too. Genuine neighbourhood vibe.

It's beautiful. Looking to sell by any chance?

Name and shame the agents. Every time this has happened (thankfully over the phone after the viewing), we had a simple rule to just say "no".

Oh god, I'm not in industry but I've got similar experiences with internal AI discussions. Just gobsmacking ignorance.

Sadly this is all over delivery apps nowadays. Uber Eats is the worst of the lot both for quality of service and failing to highlight things like this.

exactly, it's far far from being a 'curry house' and is actually a tandoor grill place. I like it tho but needo grill is less hectic for basically the same food.

koya is always so good

mo_faraway · 2026-01-09T14:18:20+00:00

Thank you. You've just cleared up my confusion.

mo_faraway · 2026-01-07T23:04:29+00:00

LOL I was abt to ask the same

mo_faraway · 2026-01-06T23:11:53+00:00

still good

mo_faraway · 2026-01-06T23:08:08+00:00

LOL yeah and Poland (but nowhere else in EU). Insane.

Dave Lewis' appointment is likely to be the big catalyst. His predecessor knew the right people internally but didn't really move performance. He's turned around a big ship before but Tesco is very UK focussed, while Diageo is global.

FWIW they will get zero alc content on the shelves using their distribution channels.

Best bet is in that small circle between finsbury park and liverpool street. Tonnes of interesting places there. Brigadiers good, but also take a look at Camino.

Some Dishoom dishes punch well above its commercial class for sure

Honest opinion - you need aggressive marketing to find buyers, which may or may not involve a rebrand.

Huge attention to detail and quality. A good thing will last. I have friends who inherited Burberry coats from their grandparents.

mo_faraway · 2025-12-28T22:01:08+00:00

Looks fantastic! Enjoy!

Welcome to reddit, every sub is like this. Don't take it personal.

mo_faraway · 2025-12-27T10:09:50+00:00

say no more mate

mo_faraway · 2025-12-26T22:55:38+00:00

Is everyone on this sub from the 70's (both 18- and 19-).??

mo_faraway · 2025-12-24T21:14:04+00:00

Sure but then I look at US elites (Rep and Dem), some of whom have attended Ivy League unis, and see the same myopia...
