Oriental treat

Oriental treat

Deciding to explore the gastronomical offerings of North London, I dragged the crew to Angel and Upper Street. While a number of small,"This mandate has sweeping effects on American brightcrystal families and businesses and needs serious consideration before taking effect,'' she added. cute restaurants dot this area, Gallipoli beckoned us the minute we set our sights on it. Everything about this place — the hookahs, the dim lighting, the glassy mystical Alladin-esque lamps and the Mafioso handsome waiters navigating through the cramped space — screams Oriental. Even the carvings on the table tops fit the ambience and I loved the attention to detail. While we abandoned the outdoor seating in view of the incredible cold that evening, it should offer you a wonderful view of a bustling London in milder climate.

Veggie options

Their menu is vast and even had a considerable vegetarian section. (Keep in mind that the vegetarian variety cannot compare to that in India). Though they did have a few lovely sounding starters, we decided to head straight to the mains. In the vegetarian section we ordered Vegetable Couscous (£8.55) and Special Vegetarian Mousakka (£8.65). Initially, the barren blandness of the couscous left me a little disappointed but I soon realised that it's a dish that grows on you. Bland as the couscous is,He said: "Approaching it there lightonsale looked like there was going to be chaos. But because the car drivers had to think a lot more they seemed to be being more careful. the well-cooked veggies and sweet-sour raisins oddly complement it. The dish left me feeling warm and full. Even though the couscous managed to salvage itself, I preferred the Special Vegetarian Mousakka. This bake of aubergines, potatoes and mushrooms in red sauce was served with warm pita bread. Almost like a lasagne without layers, this dish served with a tangy sauce and a discernible undertone of cheese was a big hit with us. The other veggie dish that sounded really good was the Imam Bayildi (stuffed and fried brinjals). If any of you do end up trying it, let me know how it was.

In the non-veg section we ordered the Kafta (£8.60), grilled, herbed minced lamb with rice and salad. The meat was succulent and flavourful. The herbs gave it a distinct flavour that I quite liked.

The real star of the meal was the set meal for two (£10.95). This consisted of a cold mezze platter that included lamb guzvec, meatballs, falafel, hummus, yoghurt dips, borek, bakla and many other exotic sounding things.Following the resignation of the Interfraternity inflatable life jackets Council President Jay Trump Tuesday, a February letter from associate vice provost Jane Tuttle to individuals in IFC provided new insight into the hazing incident that led to Trump's resignation. With warm pita bread on the side, this makes for a wonderful, filling spread that will satisfy even the most finicky connoisseurs, I daresay. The hummus deserves a special mention. Though easy to make, hummus is quite difficult to get just right but Gallipoli managed to do that very well. The Dolma (stuffed vegetables wrapped in grape leaf) was also exceedingly good. The vegetables inside were cooked nicely and the grape leaf added a special flavour to the dish. In keeping with my (and all Tamilians,It would repeal a portion of the 2007 Energy Independence and leather phone cases Security Act that phases out traditional incandescent light bulbs for more energy-efficient ones over the next several years. Most of the power consumed by incandescent bulbs is released as heat instead of light. I believe) love for anything curd-based, I devoured the yoghurt dips appreciatively. The veggies need not despair. They have a similar platter with dessert to cater to the non-meat eaters. At nearly £17, it is a little pricey though.

There is a wide seafood, grills and tajine selection too (Originally from Morocco,To charge the battery, just plug the built-in USB dsttマジコン cable to an open USB port on a computer or USB AC adapter. The cable is only 4-inches long so a USB extension cable may be needed. Tajine dishes are cooked in a clay pot that helps cook meat/veggies slowly at low temperatures).
