The last meal I had out in London was at The Gate, an all vegetarian restaurant that has been around since 1989 with two restaurants – one in Hammersmith and the one we went to, in Islington. They describe their food as Indo-Iraqi Jewish – a blend of Indian and Arabic cuisines with traditional Jewish food.
London Eating: Ottolenghi, Islington
The very first night I arrived in London the friends I was staying with informed me they had managed to snag us a dinner reservation at Ottolenghi in Islington. Ottolenghi has 5 restaurants and delis across London, with the Islington one his very first.
