Our favourite curry stall on Broadway Market has opened a restaurant in Dalston, it's called Gujarati Rasoi, and we want to go!

Urvesh and Lilly Patel serves food is inspired from the Gujarati region in India, and everything on the menu is vegetarian (they do however use  dairy in some of their food).

Food

Carol Goodden and Gordon Matta-Clark opened up Food in New York in the early 1970s on the corner of Prince and Wooster. The restaurant, essentially the first in SoHo, was run by artists and served mostly artists, with the cooking itself becoming a performance of sorts. This transition of the space from a failed Puerto Rican restaurant to Food’s occupation to an alternative space that functioned as and questioned art and the potential in economic models based on something other than profit growth.

A little of what you fancy

Finally got to go to A little of what you fancy on 464 Kingland Road, London E8 4AE!
The place has been open for about 6 months, but I think my wallet had told me to wait for my mum to come visit and take me there... It's a little in the expensive end, sharing starter and desert, two mains, two glasses of white, half a liter of red, two espressos came to £76.50 - BUT the quality of the food was amazing. The dishes were simple letting the ingredients speak for themselves. Almost like Italian cooking... But with a East London vibe.
The place has a very nicely relaxed atmosphere and the service is sweet and the kind that knows when they need to pass by to check you haven't fallen of your chair of pure joy.
Here is what we ate:

Smoked Salmon, ryebread, capers berries, peashoots

the salmon was soft as butter, and the ryebread was soft inside with a crunchy crust

Mouthwatering tower of lamb cutlets, jersey potatoes and wild garlic pesto

The dessert was so delicious I forgot to photograph it...
Olive oil cake with salty caramel ice cream

JUST GO!
