"A Somali feast this good cannot be ignored. The lamb shank from Brother’s Cafe doesn’t need much help falling off the bone. Its proximity to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium means that collapsing is in its very DNA. But the vital point of difference between these two destinations in N17 is that Brothers is actually worth travelling for. The lamb and rice are both fragrantly spiced, mixing star anise with turmeric and cinnamon with melt-in-your-mouth fat. Throw in some basbaas—a sharp Somali chilli sauce—and you have an enormous meal that’s easily fit for two people. Or one that likes a second dinner." - jake missing, rianne shlebak
