"When it gets to thermals-under-pyjamas level of cold, the hearty birria ramen from Birria Tacos in Kensal Rise is the answer. The tacos at the Mexican restaurant are excellent, but the rich broth, soft ramen noodles, and tender, stringy, slow-cooked beef and lamb birria is the kind of comforting dish that will warm you from the inside out. It’s also notorious for leaving its mark on whatever you’re wearing, so we’d recommend assembling a makeshift bib with tissues before getting started. Head here the next time you feel a sore throat coming on." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager
