The Dishoom PR deluge started innocently enough – a small blurb at the bottom of a Daily Candy email. But within 48 hours of my seeing that email, Dishoom was mentioned seemingly everywhere (try googling Dishoom + London). While I was tempted to dismiss all the hype and ignore Dishoom for a while, my friend [...]

Tsuru Sushi, Spitalfields

I love working near Spitalfields market, partly because it means my commute is short, and mostly because the food options are about ten thousand times better than they were in Canary Wharf. Still, I’m nothing if not a complainer, and for a while I’ve bemoaned the lack of good sushi options for lunch. Itsu is [...]

Since March, Jon has been training to do a relay swim across the English Channel. Beginning tomorrow evening, he and his teammates will be waiting for their crossing boat pilot to tell them “today’s the day.” And then they’ll be setting off from the dark shores of Dover sometime after midnight, dodging tankers, jellyfish and [...]

Having eaten a delicious dinner at Trullo last week (which was opened a few weeks ago by one of the first fifteen chef-apprentices trained at Fifteen restaurant), Jon and I thought it was about time we tried eating at Fifteen. It is, after all, just a 20-minute walk away from our house, right off the [...]

One of my favorite things about keeping a blog is to read the comments left by readers. Last week, I blogged about Palmers, an ambitious restaurant near Victoria Park, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. In the comments section of that blog post, one reader, Mike, recommended that I check out Trullo, an Italian restaurant [...]
Trishna, Marylebone
Posted in Everyday in London, London Eating, tagged BlogSherpa, England, fish curry, Indian restaurants in London, London, Trishna London, Trishna restaurant on July 2, 2010 | 4 Comments »
I first visited Trishna a year ago when they were publicizing a special “all crab” menu. At the time, a friend who’d been to the original Trishna restaurant in Mumbai had told us that it was famous for its crab, so I didn’t need further convincing to drop by the relatively-new London outpost. Sadly, though, [...]
