The 38 Best London Restaurants, According to Eater’s Local Dining Expert | Eater

"This small Stoke Newington cafe seriously overdelivers, preparing some of London’s best American diner-style smash burgers, Nashville hots, playful samosas, and the inimitable chicken makhani sandwich come the weekend, with a solid core menu for weekday visitors. Its sweet offering isn’t half bad either; cookies are particularly excellent, as is the seasonal ice cream from Crabtree and co-founder Feroz Gajia in warmer months. Must-try dish: Do not miss the ingenious creme brulee cookie, developed by pastry chef Chloe-Rose Crabtree from a recipe by Los Angeles’s Dough and Arrow. And the makhani chicken bun at weekends." - Adam Coghlan
