"Another version of tameeya, here it is worth ordering in a khobez wrap, which, in addition to fresh salad and a vinegar and garlic-laced tahini sauce, comes with the surprise of marinated aubergine. The tameeya themselves are well-balanced, with plenty of spice and herb that doesn’t go too far and overwhelm the fava bean flavour. One major perk is that it is less than 100 metres from Edgware Road station and at £3.30 for a wrap, falafel wraps don’t come cheaper." - Joel Hart
"Ahl Cairo, just outside Edgware station, serves some of London’s better falafel. It’s the arguably superior pistachio-coloured Egyptian kind, taameya — made with fava beans and plenty of herbs, it is moister and more freshly flavoured than its chickpea counterpart. Taameya is often eaten in flatbread for breakfast and is just £3.25 for takeaway, but later in the day, Ahl Cairo’s pasta offerings come into their own. Try the popular carbloader, koshary, which is a mixture of lentils, vermicelli, rice, and craft bead macaroni, topped with tomato sauce and crispy onions. Another favorite Egyptian pasta, baked macaroni bechamel, is also on the menu. Open all day every day, for takeaway right now." - Hester van Hensbergen
