"Our go-to pick-me-up method involves scream-crying “we’ll always have Paris” between mouthfuls of pasta bake while watching Casablanca. But there are easier, more uplifting fixes when the weather is a bit rubbish. Like Nandine, a family-run Kurdish spot in Camberwell, whose top priority is making you feel good through a chat at the register, a bit of baklava as you eye those clouds, and through all the food coming out the kitchen. The freshly baked borek is pillowy enough to take a nap on and the shawarma is a warming seven-spice hug." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
