American Pies Mcr
The place is primarily known for their Deep Dish Chicago style Pan pizzas.
Ordered On:
11Sep23
The Meat One (House Meat sauce, bacon, ground beef, sausage £16

*Amazing! The cheese didn't feel blend or too much, unlike another classic of hot cheese over potatoes often found at street carts around London. The crust is something interesting of a texture and more pie like rather than traditional pizza dough. Fantastic and an absolute must for sharing.*
£8.50
Side dish Deep Fried Lasagna
(Deep fried meat sauce lasagna bites with hot honey dip)
*Meh. Sounded interesting but the sweet pasta sauce just didn't work for me. More like Filipino style pasta sauce which is known to be on the sweet side.*
Fed 2 Total

One really needs a party of two to enjoy.
Note that the "single portion 7inch" takes about 20-30mins to prep, whereas the larger 2-3 sharing portion 10" one up to 45mins of prep time. The large 10" deep dish has close to a kilo of cheese. The single portion is more than enough to feed a party of two.

Dishoom
 Recommended by Nic

The place that everyone has been talking about for quintessential Indian food. Where India meet British colony, this fancy place doesn't skip a beat and hits on high marks with the flavor profile. Curry, spices were all on point.

The menu is designed for sharing.

*In for a great time when simple Ice and Water is served so fancy*
Chef's Manchester Special MALLI NIHARI Biryani £23
(THE STAR!!)
 *A whole lamb shank with moist Briyani rice and very enjoyably. Being wrapped with fluffy pastry adds that luxurious layer of flavor and texture to the whole dish. A mix feeling of just nice and insufficient meat but still good. Their yogurt was on the thicker consistency but leveled up with cheese in it.*
Chicken Ruby

£14.90
*You can really taste each of the elements in the sauce alone. Chicken breast was tender and juicy. The curry was great for dipping and spice level were legit. A fine balance of spice level which hovers between just passing an Asian pallet and probably pushing the limits of the western one.*
Garlic Naan £4.20
*Pretty standard.*
Masala Prawns £15.50

*The BBQ on the prawns were well done but for the price it wasn't worth it.*

Solid food. Spice level is respectable even for Asian pallets. A Fancy place with a nice atmosphere and really best enjoyed with a party. Depending on what was ordered, it could have been of better value but as an overall package, given the ambience, if one hadn't the opportunity to enjoy Indian cuisine a high level, this really was quite the filling and enjoyable experience.

Would recommend again if for the experience and trying quintessential Indian food while in the UK.

The whole concept of having Indian food in U.K. is akin to going to Hong Kong not for the dim sum or duck but for Halal certified Wai Kee Curries, serving up mutton curry and rice. Its that good. Of course the difference here is the $$$ difference for the meal.

Moose Coffee
Today seems to a miss on many fronts. Cold and wet morning, and the Coffee machine was down. However they still delivered on hearty meals that doesn't break the bank, serving Authentic American and Canadian eats. 
Ordered On:
12Sep23
(We went with recommendation by the staff which pretty much gives a good spread of everything. A little hash, a little sweet and savory and to enjoy their liquid gold, Canadian maple syrup.)

 Double Dutch £12.75
 *
A little too much for one person. If in a party, split to share is still very filling. Good sized, fluffy and decent pancakes.*
Bronx Brunch £12.75
*One of the best hashes enjoyed. Good portioning and better enjoyed if there's variety of other orders. It may get a little repetitive after a while.*

The place has got an interesting vibe and artworks featuring the moose. Food portion is hearty and offers good eats. Its cheaper here as compared to the states.
