My partner and I recently discovered Souvlaki Street, down on North Cross Road. Run by a lovely couple and serves the best Greek style wraps! Would highly recommend taking a trip down there one Saturday.


We're massive foodies, would love to hear some of your recommendations.


Thanks,


Sarah

I didn't think the joke had anything to do with the ED stall, just had to do with Greeks and the way they deal with debt. And I can tell you people, not necessarily politicians take it very seriously.

Anyway, it is just an odd day for greece and maybe I got a bit over emotional.

Looking forward to sampling the food anyway.

Can you afford it?

I agree, the wafting aroma from that stall yesterday whooshed me back to a holiday in Paros half a lifetime ago. We went on the Magic Bus so you can guess just how long ago.


Unfortunately I wasn't hungry but I'm going to make sure I'm starving next time and eat two

The souvlaki I had from Souvlaki Street wasn't like souvlaki I have had in the past in Crete.


Sadly not nearly as nice, but hey better than nothing I suppose.


I'm back to the Vietnamese van next time I'm having a North Cross Road lunch. As I've never been to Vietnam, luckily I have nothing to compare their delicious food with :))

Agree with robbin about authenticity. People often say about curry places "it's nothing like the real stuff you get in India". So what? I'm not in India, I'm in this curry house and I'm enjoying the food.


I enjoy authentic Mexican food. Doesn't mean I can't also enjoy a Tex Mex.

Each to their own Aidan, but if you refuse to eat chicken tikka masala (just about the most popular food in the UK) because it is not 'authentic' Indian, you are going to find yourself being disappointed at most Spanish tapas restaurants, not to mention most Italian, Chinese or Turkish restaurants in the UK. Most I've been to are not 'authentic' but they can still be very tasty.


I agree the prices are not bargain basement, but if you don't want to part with your 5 quid you don't have to. That said, taking account of overheads and ingredients and the fact that these people are trying to make a living, I can't see how they could sell for anything much less than that.

Well, in response to the comment "the food at Souvlaki Street is great" you said "I completely disagree" and went on to say it "is about as authentic Greek style souvlaki as chicken tikka masala is in India. On top of that it's overpriced..."


So you sort of implied both (that you don't like non-'authentic' food and that it wasn't nice)?


Anyway, I see you felt strongly enough about the subject to register on the EDF and make that your first ever post - so fair enough.

    • I dont get complaining if nothing is broken? If you dont like the parcel service just buy your products elsewhere which ship with a different company. simple fix🤷‍♀️
    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.
