I discovered Lem Lem Kitchen last year when I returned to my familiar haunt in London on a Saturday; Broadway Market. Street food abounds and you can pretty much find any food from any country right here in this market (well I might be exaggerating there but not too far off the mark). I used to go for the fantastic Gujurati food (another story) but last year I found Lem Lem Kitchen in the permanent pitch in Westgate Street). Alongside the Texan barbecue and the bao stall you find the perfect Eritrean food. They specialise in 'African tacos'; an enticing mix of injera (teff flour tortillas) and wheat tortillas with spicy fillings.

So what do you get; these great 'tacos' with a split pea spicy filling and two flavourful slaws with fennel, beetroot and carrot. This street food is fresh, zingy and probably some of the best food I have ever tasted. I think I will be saying bye bye to fine dining food if you can get reasonably priced street food like this. I cannot sing the praises of Lemlem Kitchen enough. Desperate to get back and try it again.
Oh, and they served these tasty fries as well - shiro fries with a spicy chickpea sauce and asmarino salsa.

If you live in London or nearby hastily beat a path to Broadway Market on a Saturday and make sure you try
Lemlem Kitchen. You will not be disappointed.
