"Not every corner shop is made equally, and at Best Foods Supermarket there’s a lot more going on than an imported Kinder Bueno. Work your way to the back of this Walthamstow corner shop, past the sacks of rice, via the Bombay Mix, and you’ll find a stacked Sri Lankan and South Indian food counter. Inviting trays are piled high with smoky aubergine curries, rich mutton curries, and fragrant biryanis. Sadly, you can’t pitch up here. But get a crispy mutton roll and a curry to go. The bus stop opposite makes for a lovely little lunch spot." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
