Where to Eat Balkan Food in London | Eater London
"Elena and Jana’s Euro-fusion lunch and dinner spot brings a Macedonian twist to modern dinning. In the Stoke Newington-based restaurant there’s both Middle Eastern-inspired falafel and halloumi dishes and Balkan specialties, such as cevapi, red pepper sauce (ajvar) and localised cream cheese, kajmak. Lacy Nook’s chefs use distinctly Balkan flavours, while producing accessible, contemporary dishes. Its newly added braised sauerkraut, leek, nduja and grilled merguez dish is a perfect example of this. To get a better sense of traditional flavours from the region, Lacy Nook’s Balkan stew, Balkan shepherds salad and cevapi with lepinja bread are a must-try. Drink Macedonian wine, or home-made spirit, rakija, which the owners keep behind the bar and serve on special request." - Kaltrina Bylykbashi
