Review of Parveen Tandoori Restaurant
24 May 07, 16:43
Islington gem 
I've been to the Parveen quite a few times and only once had a bad experience, they seemed to have forgotten our order so it took a long time. The food is always great though and the service is usually very good. The seating is a little tight as they have packed in so many tables but on the plus side I've rarely waited for a table or had to book, even on a Saturday night. I totally agree with Holly J, if you're hungry in Islington, head to the Parveen.

Review of Apostrophe

Delicious pastries
A visit to Apostrophe can be test of willpower. I can never resist a pastry or a cake to go with my coffee. They also have a good selection of breads and sandwiches, all of which you can eat in or take out. It's not the cheapest bakery but everything looks gorgeous and the things I have sampled have been very tasty. The shocking pink colour scheming doesn't hurt either! Perfect for an afternoon coffee break.

Review of Hamburger Union

Fancy burgers 
We chose this restaurant because we were in a hurry and there was no queue, but I was pleasantly surprised. You order at the counter, this is a burger chain after all, then choose a seat. But unlike a standard burger chain, your food is brought over to you on a plate and you can have a beer or a glass of wine. The menu is fairly typical with the odd exception; a chorizo sausage burger and three different vegetarian options. The prices are a bit steep though at £4 for the cheapest burger.

Review of PizzaExpress

Express pizza
When you go to Pizza Express you know pretty much what you're getting and this branch is no exception. It was a Saturday lunchtime and pretty busy but we were seated and served promptly. The food was also quite speedy and our waiter was very friendly. We both had salads which come with dough sticks and are a good size so you don't feel like you're missing out.

Review of Zaffrani

Smart and tasty
Tucked away off Upper Street, this great Indian restaurant is easy to miss but well worth a visit. Inside the decor is contemporary and the service is good. They have a range of delicious dishes that are not the usual Rogan Josh and Jalfrezi so be prepared to actually read the extensive menu and not just choose your usual. Best of all the portions are a sensible size so you can have a starter, main course and a dessert (which are also very tasty) It does get busy on a Saturday night though, so go early or book in advance.

Browse or buy
This is a great shop for quirky, pretty bits and pieces, perfect gifts for those hard to buy for people. They also have a range of retro toys and a great selection of stocking-fillers. Well worth a look for the last minute shopper.

Cute yarn shop
What a great shop. A huge variety of yarns and patterns are crammed into this tiny shop. They also run classes for beginners and the more advanced.
