oh my goodness those fish balls appear to have my British Bangladeshi Muslim name all over them!! (I've been on the hunt for decent ones ever since M&S inexplicably stopped selling them). Thank you for another excellent piece, I had no idea about the Selfridges connection.

Thank you, very interesting article. I have been getting salt beef sandwiches, fish balls, salad and chips from the Edgware branch for 42 years. Still come back there with my family who live in South London.

Even if I am not in LDN and won't be there for some and probably when I will get there, I may forget to check out this place, the storytelling short-circuited something inside my brain when thinking/talking/discussing restaurants! The emphasis on the community, long gone in post-communist Eastern Europe that has been doomed by high prices and neoliberalism, brings hope.

Thank you for spending so much time writing this piece.

I am not Jewish but have grown up in North West London in between Golders Green and St John's Wood.

Loved the detail and am happy to report I will pop over this week for a much needed top up
