Friday Night Take-Away

It's Friday afternoon.

 Your brain is not in work mode anymore.

 You're thinking about going home, having a cold one and probably going for (or ordering) a curry.

 Well I might be able to help you out there by sharing one of my favourite places to have a curry in Ealing.

 Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Zayka!


I know people are passionate about their curries so there might be some Ealing folk with other favourites, but Zayka has been a constant in our lives since we first moved to Ealing 4 years ago.

Coming from Birmingham (where people worship at the alter of the balti) and having lived off the curry mile in Manchester for 3 years, I like to think I have enough experience to know a good curry when I have one, so trust me when I say that Zayka is worth the trip down St Marys Road (or picking up the phone - 020 8579 7278).

They offer the usual Indian menu but also have a lot of Nepalese dishes that are great to try if you fancy something you probably haven't had before.








As well as giving you something new, they also employed a pretty smooth move that is a sure fire way to my heart.

 A complimentary after dinner drink! (his whiskey, mine a slightly softer amaretto).


 SOLD!

 So, there you have it - this is my recommendation for tonight but I'd love to hear what your plans are?

 Happy Friday x

ABBOTSHILL - Ealing's newest wine bar

Image
Last night I had the pleasure of being one of the first people to enjoy the newest drinking (and nibbling) establishment in Ealing, Abbotshill Wine Bar & Deli. The bar (which is opening today!!) is a gorgeously friendly and stylish bar / deli at 20 St Mary's Rd run by Suzy & Tom.  This lovely couple have quite different backgrounds (being a food photographer & plumber respectively), but are obviously united in their passion for exclusive, but familiar, wines; cheese that is to die for, exceptional deli meats and handmade truffles. So, we're pretty lucky that they met and decided to open up this new spot for us all to enjoy. Even though today is their first, I believe they already have bookings (you can make reservations by contacting Suzy - here is  THEIR WEBSITE  & here is  THEIR TWITTER ) and I really hope that as a community we get behind them. I know that Mr Rev and I will be paying them a visit over the weekend & I hope you all do the same.

Limeyard Ealing, new menu & competition!

Image
Today you're in for a treat, Limeyard Ealing have a new menu - launching today - for me to tell you about AND I have my first ever blog competition for you to go and try it for yourself! First and foremost though, I must tell you about the night I had at Limeyard last week. Along with some of the great and good of Ealing (note to reader - I do not consider myself to be either of those things!) I was invited along to try the new menu that Limeyard are launching today. Having been to Limeyard a few times ( more about that here ) I was pretty excited as I love the people there (special shout out to geordie waitress Sam who is pretty awesome!) and the food is always good, plus I was told we'd be trying the majority of the new menu...........including new cocktails. Unsurprisingly this sealed the deal and it was a date. We turned up to be greeted by a lot of cocktails to taste including the Smokey Joe (mezcal, triple sec, lime, grapefruit bitters & ginger beer served

SOANE'S KITCHEN BRUNCH O'CLOCK

Image
This morning I had the pleasure of experiencing brunch at  Soane's Kitchen , the new-ish restaurant, cafe, cocktail spot located in our beloved Walpole Park. Despite quite a few dinners there, this was my first brunch and it was rather excellent! As someone in their 8th month of pregnancy, I naturally avoided the bottomless Prosecco option (additional £20 for 2 hours) but compensated by having extra bacon (it's allowed!).  The shakshuka was really good, very fresh with lots of seasoning and perfect poached eggs - I also had a flat white, pineapple juice (much to the terror of my companion who was convinced I'd go into labour immediately) and sourdough toast. Additionally, we picked up a few cakes - initially intended for later on this afternoon, that actually got eaten with tea as soon as we returned from our walk around the park.  So good to have another strong brunch option in Ealing and I cannot wait for Pitzhanger Manor to reopen next door with the ut
