Cheap Eats in Notting Hill

Start with

Three-Course Lunch

It is the shop's 'secret formula' where the kitchen 'cooks the books,' testing recipes from the latest titles on display. For a set price that 'cannot be beat,' you get a starter (often soup), a main, and a dessert served at communal tables.

Start with

Arancini

Explicitly recommended as the 'house speciality,' these saffron rice balls come with a variety of fillings including spinach and ricotta, mozzarella, mushrooms, or chicken.

Start with

Jerk Chicken

If you arrive early, you can get it 'straight off the drum and falling off the bone.' The gravy is famously good—so much so that reviewers claim they could eat it 'with rice alone.'

Start with

Humus and Falafel in Warm Pita Bread

This sandwich provides a "musical experience" for the tastebuds with its "crunchy exterior" and "soft, flavoursome interior." Reviewers are pleasantly surprised by the numerous small falafels tucked inside—often counting more than five per sandwich.

Start with

Chicken Shish

Regarded as a staple of their 'proper Turkish grills,' this dish is a benchmark for what critics call 'consistently good-quality kebabs' that 'can't be beaten for flavour.'

Start with

Nasi Lemak

A traditional benchmark dish featuring rice, fish, and peanuts.

Start with

Thai Green Curry

Richly flavoured with nice juicy tofu, acting as a reliable benchmark for Thai classics.
