Review of Tinseltown 24 Hour Diner
15 Apr 08, 12:32
Not all bad 
Its not all bad at Tinsletown - the milkshakes are quite simply amazing - you can have any flavour that you wish.
The veggie food is ok - the chips are great as are the veggie burgers. We've always had an ok meal there - its no american bar and grill but you get what you pay for and its quite reasonably priced.
The bonus is they are open late on a saturday night - its always nice to get a milksahke on the way home from a night out!

Review of Tootsies
15 Apr 08, 12:22
Nice Meal 
I diasgree with the earlier review - i have been to tootsies a number of time now and have always had good service at good prices.
There is loads to chose from on the menu and there is even an Annabel Karmel menu for children - which is fantastic.
The staff have always been very friendly and attentive.
Don't be put off - give it a go

Review of Golders Green Kosher Delicatessen and Butchers
15 Apr 08, 12:18
Meaty Feast
Its often hard to find good quality kosher meat at a reasonable price - so finding a deli that provides just this is great.
The service is great in there - its gets very very busy and the staff can be a little short with you but thats only because they are so rushed of there feet.
They do great rotisserie chickens and fresh cut meats at good prices.
You can call and place an order for pick up or pop i anytime - its open really late during the week which is great for those of us that work.

Review of Scotts Sandwich Bar
15 Apr 08, 12:14
Lovely Spuds
I was hooked on Scotts the minute someone introduced me to it.
I went off it for a while - being a veggie i didn't like the fact that they didn't claen any of there work surfaces or knives between customers - so i would always have random bits in my sandwich - but i stay away from sarnies in there now and go for the baked potatoe with fresh ratatouille.
It really is delicious (if a little garlicy) but certainly fills a gap at lunchtime.
Friendly service - but i do find they charge me something different everytime i go in there!

Review of Brent Cross Shopping Centre
15 Apr 08, 12:06
I Love shopping
I am a massive fan of Brent Cross - its local (to me) easy to park and has a great selection of shops.
It does get slightly mad at weekends and i would go as far as to say it is mayhem - especially if you are trying to push a buggy round too.
The selection of shops is great and food court is good for an informal bite to eat.
With John Lewis at one end and Fenwicks at the other end and loads of slection in between you are bound to find what you are looking for.
All it is missing is a Primark!

Review of Bens Cookies
15 Apr 08, 12:01
a piece of heaven 
These cookies are quite simply the most amazing things i have ever tasted. They make Millies cookies look drab in comparison.
Not only are they thick - with chewy centres...mmmmm... they are freshley made on the premises and often still hot when you buy them.
They are sold by weight so can be quite costly but worth every penny when you sink your teeth in!
My mouth is salivating just thinking about them...maybe i'll pop down there at lunch!

Review of Thai & Co
15 Apr 08, 10:26
Cheap and cheerful
If you are looking for a cheap lunch with a difference then try Tuk Tuk.
I often take my niece and nephew for lunch on a Saturday - its a set lunch for £4.95 and there is loads to chose from on the menu.
Its a bit 'one in one out' at lunchtimes because of the set menu but in the evenings a little bit more relaxed.
The service is very good and they will make something for you that is not on the menu which is always good.
worth a try if you fancy some Thai.

Review of Gold Shoes
15 Apr 08, 10:21
Cheap n Chic
This is the most random shop i have ever visited. On first look you think its all old peoples shoes from Van Dal and brogues that your dad would wear!
On closer inspection its a bit of a find. You have to be lucky and they are normally a season behind but if you are going on holiday and in need of flip flops you are bound to find a suitable pair here.
It has all the latest fashion 'ugg'esque boots at cheap prices and worth a look if you have a spare 5 minutes.

Review of Carmelli Bagel Bakery
15 Apr 08, 10:16
mmmmm
If you fancy a hot bagel on your way home from a club - Carmeli is your man!
This bakery serves everything from fresh Borekas to wedding cakes - its all fresh and smells amazing.
The service is a little brash - there certainly is no chit chat as they serve you and move you on to the cashier - but the cakes and biscuits more than make up for this.

Review of Timpson
15 Apr 08, 10:10
very generous
Lat week i visited the this key cutters on my way home to see if they had any soft keys that i could buy for my son - long story but he loves to scratch key accross my wooden floor!
The man in there was very kind and gave me 5 brightly colored uncut keys for my son the play with - they still scatch my floor but not as badly -i should have gone to toys r us for soft keys!!
He just asked me to give a donation for charity - really very kind.
