"Through the maze of aisles stacked with bags of Kurkure Masala Munch and piles of onions, you’ll find Best Foods Supermarket’s hidden Sri Lankan and South Indian food counter. There are inviting trays piled high with smoky aubergine and rich mutton curries. But of all the takeaway items, our go-to order is: the spicy chicken samosas, crispy mutton rolls, and the sweet paneer curry." - sinead cranna, jake missing

"With mountains of vegetables, rows of booze, and gargantuan bags of rice, Best Foods Supermarket in Walthamstow is one of those sprawling corner shops everyone dreams of having. Even better is its little Sri Lankan and South Indian food counter in the back. There are trays piled high with rich mutton curries and fragrant biryanis. But of all the well-priced takeaway items, our repeat order is: the spicy chicken samosas, crispy mutton rolls, and the sweet paneer curry. It’s a grab-and-go spot, so you’ll have to take your haul elsewhere." - jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
"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
