"If you’re unable to leave your politics at the door, then Gadz may not be for you. The Lebanese spot in Finsbury Park is a Jeremy Corbyn fan club disguised as a coffee shop and deli. Pictures of the ex-Labour leader line the wall and the owner is as committed as they come. He’s also got a fair bit of enthusiasm for Elvis too. Heroes aside, this place is excellent for a falafel-based lunch. Freshly made falafels are crisp and soft, glowing green from broad beans as is the Lebanese recipe. Salad boxes, drizzled in tahini and pomegranate molasses, are also a great shout." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, jake missing
"Perhaps best known for its teenage fandom-like Corbyn worship (think Smash Hits or Match magazine wallpaper cutouts, but with the 70-something MP for Islington North), Gadz should also be known for its falafel wraps. The Lebanese cafe in Finsbury Park makes its falafel fresh and it comes out both crisp and soft, as well a little crumbly. Filling-wise, the tabbouleh salad has crunch and a sweet but sharp hit of vinegar and pomegranate molasses. Ask for a generous helping of hummus and tahini just to be on the safe side when it comes to moisture." - jake missing
"Your order: Falafel wrap (£5) Falafel wraps aren’t as easy as they seem. They err between stodge and less internet-worthy versions of the cinnamon challenge, but Gadz’s is almost spot on. The freshly made warm falafel is both crisp and soft, the tabbouleh salad has crunch and a sweet but sharp hit of vinegar and pomegranate molasses, and then the whole thing is (perhaps controversially) stuck under a panini grill. You probably want to ask for a generous helping of hummus and tahini just to be on the safe side of moisture, but all in all, it’s a delicious, fresh option." - jake missing

"Jeremy Corbyn has many favourites — he’s a man of the people! He offered to do the dishes here! He also loves the falafel here! The rumour is that the cafe’s Christmas tree has a picture of him on the tree instead of an angel or a star." - Adam Coghlan, Apoorva Sripathi
