Would you eat it though?
Or has Tayyabs ruined your appetite for mere kebab shops?

There are a great many top-quality Turkish grill restaurants
up the road from me in Dalston.

If I want a kebab (and I sometimes do) I am fortunate in having a choice of dozens of real barbecue shops in which to spend my cash.

Any decent Jerk chicken places near you? we have a couple in Kilburn that are good.

You need to try the real thing with rice & peas (rice & kidney beans). Avoid fried plantain on the side though.

I cooked my own once, but the reggae reggae just ruined it.
No strength in it at all

'Tropical Eat' on Mare Street is superb for takeaway,
for a proper sit-down Caribbean meal, the terribly-named 'Anda de Bridge' in Shoreditch is great - or was a couple of years ago, at least.

Couple of decent-ish
ones in Hoxton, nothing magical though. My colleague swears by one on Essex Road, but I've never been able to find it!

I've not found a better Kebab
outside Green Lanes.

They're mainly fronts for heroin smuggling operations.
There was a massive raid operation about ten years ago and the whole street was closed for business for a fortnight.

I thought it was hilarious.

I think Hot Nuts
at the top of the road is funnier!

i used to live on duckett road
(one of the "ladders" off green lanes). even as a vegetarian, this is true.

also, before 24 hour drinking, when we were pikey students, all the kebabshops had secret rooms at the back where you could carry on drinking.

this being said, green lanes does not have much else to recommend it as a living experience!

They should send tourist guides down there
"And this is where Miss Rswipe QC took a steaming dump while vomiting, after a 28 hour drinking session. Please, no photos. On we go!"

sadly
only barristers can take silk.

actually, looking at the rest of your post, that's not sad at all!

You've pretty much lived
everywhere in London haven't you?

In regards to 24hr drinking, I've only ever found one fucking place in London where that's possible and it was a noisy twatmagnet.
(Himjim died a little more inside on, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 10:48, Reply)

ha, not that exciting
as a student i was on the southbank, then manor house, then bromley-by-bow. ever since then it's been hammersmith or kensington.

in my experiences, west is definitely best!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 10:50, Reply)

That's because there are certain gaps in your experience portfolio.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 10:51, Reply)

there's an offer to plug my gaps
in there somewhere isn't there?

Yes. What some people call 'predictable' I prefer to think of as 'reliable'.

Oh gerrout
You don't have a liscense and I'm not old enough to drink.
(Himjim died a little more inside on, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 10:52, Reply)

But are they twatmagnets?
I want a place that you can talk, not have "tribal house" pumping or whatever the kids listen to nowadays.
(Himjim died a little more inside on, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 10:51, Reply)

There's a place down near Aldgate that's pretty decent.
It's also rather 'gangster' so it's a bit scary.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 10:53, Reply)

By a bit scary
do you mean that a pansy with a silly haircut would get jumped faster than an Grand National hedge?

Don't worry, I'll look after you.

Theres a place near me that I've left at 7am before
The license doesn't cover it, but no-one checks, and no-one cares.
