The Best London Pasta Dishes That Aren’t From Italy | Eater London

"Paneri Taverna’s generous portions and complimentary mezze make the Green Lanes old-timer one of the road’s most celebrated restaurants. The pasticcio, or makaronia, is a heavy hitter: it’s a 15-tog duvet of creamy, nutmeg infused bechamel, minced beef sweet with onion and cinnamon, and soft, pillowy pasta. The popular chargrilled chicken and lamb souvla are served alongside kritharaki — also known as orzo — couscous, or rice. For those seeking youvetsi, beef and orzo stew, it’s best to head down the road to Asteria, where pasticcio is also on the menu. Open for takeaway." - Hester van Hensbergen
