Eating at London’s Most Popular Food Spots 🇬🇧

Hello foodies! Today we're going to the most popular spots in London. Let's eat! Foodies, we have to start here as our first location and this is the iconic bagel bake which is right behind me and basically they make this amazing salt bread bagel sandwich and it looks like this. I got the mustard and the pickles in it. Also the way it's stuffed, come on! This place is known to be very fast and very cheap. Apparently their bagels are amazing and they do it fresh every day. So at the back they literally make the bagels and at the front they literally pack it up and give it to people and it's absolutely packed every single day. So let's taste it. How do I bite it? It's so huge! Oh my god, it's so good. It melts in your mouth. There's not even much chewing going on apart from the bagel outside. The bagel is nice and crispy, inside is really nice and soft but the beef is so nice and salty. The pickles are also very salty but it has that nice juiciness that comes through. The mustard is well needed though, it just breaks apart the saltiness a little bit and gives you a break. That is so good. That is honestly one of the best and the only salted beef bagel I've ever had. Definitely try this place out. They've been running since 1970s and see they've been serving up for the locals and the tourists. Foodies, just a quick update. This place, to show you how popular this place is, on Google reviews alone, it has 14,213 reviews. I got a smoked salmon for cameraman so I'll eat that as well. I'll try it and I'll tell you if it's good. Cameraman's not gonna agree with me. Foodies, I'm also gonna try cameraman's one which I took a bite because he got scared that I'll take a big bite. The greed in him innit? And he also called me a greed. What do you mean? Look Foodies, I'm only doing this because I want to show you, I want to tell you guys if the salmon one is better. Not because I want to eat his one. Wow, that's nice too. But yeah, your bagel is tough. His one is tougher, I don't know why. The salted beef one was way better. This is still good but I feel like in comparison to the salted beef, nah. I'm just living humbly alright. Yeah. Smoked salmon. Oh humble, oh humble bikini. Tough. I think they gave you the bad bagel because they just looked at you and were like why would I give you anything. Bad bagel. But yeah, here you go. I don't need it. Foodies, the greedy cameraman also bought the chicken one and the chicken one looks like this. Let's show you from this side and it's also really packed. It's almost as packed as the salt beef. Let's also have a bite of this. There's like three layers of chicken and some butter on the bottom but um it's a bit unseasoned. Shuttered. Foodies, this is the next location and it's Dishoom. Now I didn't even know this was Dishoom because that's the only writing we got. It's like a little um I don't know, street writing and basically inside it's fully packed so I hope there's these seating areas because I didn't I didn't book any tables and I think I should have. But this is a very very popular Indian restaurant in London and all my friends rave about it and I've never been to Dishoom before so let's go check it out. Also one of my friends said if you roll a dice or something and you get then you get like your whole meal for free. I'm going to test that as well. Let's go. Come on cameraman. Hopefully there's going to be a place to sit down because this is going to be mad otherwise like. We recommend two to three dishes per person and things are going to come out as and when they're ready. We don't really have traditional starters or mains and I find it useful to kind of break it up into a few sections. So we've got small plates and then I'd say main sized dishes and then sides. Chicken Ruby at the top is a best seller. Kind of like butter chicken if you've ever had it. Only chicken curry on the menu as well just so you know. And then we have two specials I just want to point out really quick. The Prawn Patia is our special here at Shoreditch. It's a really gorgeous prawn curry. Char-grilled prawns. We marinate them overnight in lime and garlic. That one comes with Romali roti and a small onion salad. Then there's a black dal. Super famous. A lentil curry. I'd say creamy, savoury, really delicious dish. Non-alcoholic drinks. I would go for maybe something like a sherbet or a lassi. Mango is probably the most popular. My name's Akshay. Yeah and yours? Aisha. Pleasure to meet you. Cheese naan. Yeah. Let's do a cheese naan. Yeah. I really like the chilli broccoli salad. I think it's like the best for sharing. Let's do that. Yeah. Through these my dad said to me if you don't ask you don't get. So I asked the waiter and he said to me that if he will bring us a key card. So apparently you need a key card and after you get the key card you get to roll the dice and if you get a 6-6 the whole meal is free. If my luck is on today I'll get the whole thing for free because I ordered so much but if I don't it's okay. Through this our waiter is a legend. He bought us this which has a key in it and basically if you open up you got this little card from them which is the location that you got it in and also you get this. This is what you need to have. It looks like a you know old Chinese coin. It looks like one of those. That is really cool. That's the that's the bag. Nice. First thing that we got is lassi and it comes with this spring green thing on the top which I forgot the name of. I'll put on the screen. Apparently they're very very popular here for this. Wow. Compared to other lassis I've had before the mango flavour is very intense and it's very nice and creamy. It is really good though. Foodie's cameraman has been here so he said to me I should start with the chicken ruby. So that's what I'm gonna do. This is the chicken ruby by the way. That looks amazing. It's really hot too. Look at the colour of that. Pure red. It smells like tomatoey, spicy. That's good. Wow. I know my chicken. That's chicken thighs. That it tastes so good. You know they sometimes do like just the curry powder sauce. It's not that. It's like tomatoey, sweet and it's very nice and spicy as well. Like it's not too spicy to the point your mouth is burning and the seasoning used is absolutely perfect. It's such a balance. That is nice and tender. So good. I've got no place on my table to settle things down. I also got this. I got the cheese naan. I'm gonna eat it now so it doesn't get cold. Let's break that apart. That looks amazing. Let's grab that chicken on the plate. It's perfect. That naan is so soft. So nice and cheesy. They did not skip on that cheese. It's so nice and buttery. Just look at it. Look at that. It's glistening. That is so good. I love it. Wow. Good start. All right. Let's get to the prawns. So this is the prawns. There's some fried greens on it and it looks like tomato sauce on the bottom but I'm gonna try it and some seasoning maybe. On the side they have some salad which is like red onions, peppers and carrots I see. And then on the side they give you lemon and they give you a roti to eat with it. So let's try it. That roti is buttered as well. It's very thin. Very stretchy. Let's grab a prawn from the side. You might be like, Fridy why are you eating with your hands? I'm sorry Indian food you have to eat with your hands. Look at that. Wow. I'm so confused. The prawns are very nice and snappy but also nice and tender at the same time. That sauce on the side is delicious. It's tomatoey, very nice and peppery. You get a little bit of smoky flavor from it as well. I'm gonna assemble it though because they give you lemon and some red onions as well. Also they marinate this so maybe that's why it's a little bit tender but the smokiness is absolutely delicious. You can see the smoky bits already. They've definitely grilled that. Put some red onions and yum it. The lemon brings out the freshness of the prawns. Those prawns are so amazing. I mean he did say they marinate it for at least a day and I think he said lime but that is delicious. The sauce is absolutely delicious as well. I love this. Let's also have the dal which is on that side. This is the house black dal. It's not that black so I don't know why it's called the black. It's more like orangey. It is pretty dark. Let's get some basmati rice which we got and the basmati rice is crazy as well. I've just contaminated it but look at the way it falls apart. I had better dals in my life. Yeah that's a disappointing dal. I mean it tastes like lentil soup but like very earthy lentil soup and I'm sorry I don't really like too much earthy taste. Let's taste a bit on its own. I always give it a second chance. No. Just no. I don't know. They should call it dal soup or something like that. Not even tomatoey. I don't know what they've done to it. I don't know why it's black. Does it say why it's black? And it's cooked over 24 hours. I don't know why they've spent 24 hours on that but it's not worth it. Don't spend 24 hours on something that tastes like the soil that I eat. But I think cameraman you've tasted a little bit as well. No. I've tasted authentic dal before from my Indian friend's house. A monkey cook. What is it? Dead. If you don't know what dead means it means it's bad. It's just salad but you know we always have to try it. This is the broccoli salad. Pumpkin seeds, broccoli and yeah. It's actually pretty good. Well that's nice and sweet. A little bit chilly. Very acidic. Unfortunately we couldn't follow the diet because they said that we should at least keep the key. We can use it for the second time and not the first time. So we couldn't do it but that's okay. It is what it is. But I just want to say this is a great place to come to especially if you're a beginner to Indian food and you're not really used to the proper deep spices, the deep flavours. This is definitely the first place you should come to try it and if you like it you can level up. Come and try it and see if you like it for yourself. Foodies this is our third location. This is Flatiron. This place is popular because they give you free ice cream at the very end. Also they have the best steak because I love this place. Cameraman come on we need to eat. Foodies I love this place. I literally come here on my birthday, on my brother's birthday, on my sister-in-law's birthday, my dad's birthday and basically I love this place. They give you also a free popcorn and it's got beef drippings. So everything in this place uses beef and that's why I love it because everything just has a really deep beefy flavour. Not the drinks. Maybe the tap water as well. Maybe. It's looking a bit murky. It's looking a bit murky. Maybe it does. It's delicious though. Just smell it. I always order flying steak. £15 and then get some sides. Nice mocktail. Bish bash bosh. Bob's Uncle. Let's get it. You also get this really cool cleaver. Very sharp. I think it's really sharp at least. We can always test it on camera. I'm kidding. Yeah but it's very nice. The fact that they trust me with this is also that's a very cool of them as well. Wow look at that. Look at that. Look at my skills. Okay anyway I'm gonna put this down because clearly I can't be trusted with it. Oh wait you got something on your on your face. Let me wipe it for you. Oh it's gone. Oh yeah. The food looks amazing. Let's try the steak. So this is the ribeye steak and I got medium rare. Look how nice that looks. That looks juicy. That looks amazing. It is moving. Let me hear it. It's definitely moving. Let's have a bite. I love you. That's a delicious delicious steak. I do want to say though they put a little bit of salt on it and it has a very nice butteriness. I did get the peppercorn sauce as well next to it which is an iconic sauce that you have to get. It's so beefy, so sweet. It's delicious. Very slight peppercorn-ness even more than the steak itself. I love the size in this place because everything uses beef dripping. This is the mash. So on top of it is crispy batter as I asked and that looks delicious. Their mashed potato is so creamy and it's so beefy. You can see the beef dripping on top of it as well. That batter on top of it has a really nice and crispy texture. Honestly if you're a texture person you will love this and I'm a texture person so I love it. We also got this. This is the creamy spinach also beef dripping. Look how creamy that looks. This is going to be great for my iron deficiency. Still keeps that spinachy flavour but it's so nice and creamy. You need to taste this. There's no best way to explain it than you actually tasting this for yourself because it is delicious. All of them work really good together. Actually let's have them all together. What's stopping us? Nothing. I mean I already knew this was going to be good. I love the steaks here. They're very simple but classically simple if that makes sense and the the sides. Don't skip on the sides. The sides are so amazing. They also have mocktails and this is the lime one. They're perfect. They're perfectly sweet. This is exactly the way I like it. All of this if you eat it you'll be so satisfied and then obviously we got free ice cream. Let's finish this and get the free ice cream. I will definitely try my luck there. Oh they do? Okay perfect. Foodies I got my ice cream too. Let's have a little bite. Nice and creamy. Very chocolatey. I'm joking. This is camera man so I'm not gonna touch it. Also shout out to Theo. Legend. He gave us five of these. These are basically what you do is you get one of these on the table for each person and you exchange this for the ice cream. A little cleaver. I'm gonna keep these and go to every single Flatiron and get myself ice cream. Foodies. A very popular dessert place in London is Chin Chin's Lab which is right behind me and this place is known for their hot chocolate which I got and the reason why they're very famous for chocolate is I mean just look at the way it's presented and you will know. They are collaborating with a company called Mellow and they sell strawberries and chocolate I think but they also sell their hot drinks. Now this hot chocolate looks absolutely delicious. That's the toasted marshmallow on the side which is vegetarian and there's cream on the other side and a little waffle. Let's taste it. I feel like we should go for the marshmallow first and eat it. Let's just go. Oh my god. Yeah that's that's squared. By the way he had the tray of marshmallow. That's crazy. I want to have a tray in my house with marshmallow. Wow that's a delight. Let's drink it. I want to make some space. Oh my god that's a dark chocolate hot chocolate. That is delicious. So rich. The cream and the marshmallow really help it because they're both very sweet and the hot chocolate's not too sweet so it really works well with it. I think this is a really nice thick hot chocolate that you can definitely have. I really like this. Definitely try it. What is it called? Mellow. By the way we're in Seven Dials Market so as soon as you walk in you'll see Chin Chin Lab. Let's go to Italian restaurant. Sweeties we're here at Chilcolo Popolera and this place is honestly the prettiest restaurant I have ever been in. The interior is absolutely crazy. It's crazy in a sense that there's so much details. There's so much to look at and every single inch of the place has different Italian vibes basically. There's no other words to put it apart from it's Instagrammable. But if you want to see more of the pictures and more of the atmosphere check out my Instagram. Also my Instagram is in the description below. We are going to order some Italian dishes like pasta. Pewdie's cameraman wants to say something about this place as well. When he walked in his words were wow. Yeah it looks so good. I love this place. Okay let's see if we love the food as well. All right sweeties we've got a pasta and a pizza just like a true Italian. I got this pizza and the sides are very nice. Nicely cooked. Let's check the bottom. It's very nice. Yeah. As you can see it's got some pesto on it, some olives and tomato and then I think some ricotta as well. They said this was one of the best selling ones. So let's try it. Wow everything works so well together. The pizza is absolutely delicious. The crust on the outside is so so nice. I'm gonna leave it. I just don't like crust. End of story. Like it's really thin and nice and then you got the ricotta on the top which is very creamy. The pesto works really well with the ricotta. It has like a nice nutty flavor coming through and then you got some basil on top. This basil actually has such a delicious flavor. In the pizza the olives work so well. I know sometimes like some people are really iffy about it but I actually do like olives in this. This is really good. Nice salty, nice balance. All right this one is the truffle pasta. It's very creamy on the bottom. As you can see I'm gonna mix up. Wow that is a pretty pasta you know. That looks like a flower. Wow that's very creamy. That is very nice and al dente. That pasta is delicious. Wow. Forget the sauce. I love the pasta. That pasta has such a nice chew to it and on top of that the cream sauce is very very truffle-y and the aftertaste is like very creamy. This is more worthy if you're coming here for a like a special occasion. Especially the atmosphere itself, the decoration, the way it looks. It's very instagrammable and the customer service is top-notch as well. Everything together it definitely makes sense why the price is so high. Everyone would love it. Cameraman loved it. He was in love with this place. He walked in and yes and he was like wow. I've never seen cameraman ever say wow when he walks into a place before. That says a lot. Yeah popular for a reason. Right after six the atmosphere has changed and it's now it's dark in here. Actually it's quite nice. It feels more private now and it's completely packed. By the way this is the back of the restaurant so even the back is packed and the front is completely booked. So yeah book yourself a reservation before you come here. Food is our final destination. Our final destination. Our final location is Padela. Padela is right next to Borough Market. That could be one of the reasons why it's very popular but it's also because of the pasta dishes. The pasta dishes are absolutely good looking. I don't know picture perfect. If you get the menu what you get mainly is very small pasta menu and you can see over here these are all pastas and then you get some of the you know the appetizers. I'm gonna get a pasta that they're well known for and we're gonna taste it and see if it's really good. It's always packed by the way and we had to wait for around 30 minutes. So what you do is you scan the code at the front, you get into the queue and then you can wait anyway. We just waited in the coffee shop. I don't think there's a reservation that you can make. It's always packed and this is a weekday so weekend is absolutely chaos here and it's right next to London Bridge station which is behind cameraman. Can you see it? It's right there. That is a pretty pasta. It's green because it's infused with spinach and it's got nettle sauce. It's like stinging nettles. I've never had that kind of sauce in my life before. It's got yolk on top of it. We have to mix it up. Yeah this is Grinch pasta. All right let's have a taste of this Grinch pasta. Like Shrek pasta. I'm really confused. That's really really good. It's like really creamy because of the yolk but it's also very like starchy I think from the nettle sauce. It's very nice and chewy and al dente and that sauce is sticking onto that pasta like it's clung onto it. That is a delicious pasta. I'm so surprised. You know lots of places in the in London Bridge area like Borough Market and in the surrounding area usually has a lot of tourist restaurants and street food. This is not one of them. £15 is a great value though for this pasta. It is delicious. Like the aftertaste is very green but not in a like unpleasant way. It's quite pleasant. I really like it. Oh my god I found the nettle. Look it's right there. Look I found it. They've definitely used some sort of cheese because it does have that nice layer of like creaminess and cheesiness. Also if you're if you're deficient this will be a lovely meal for you. Foodies we have come to the end of today. We did the most popular spots in London.
