I went for lunch to the newly opened Mavalli Tiffin Room, the outpost of a famous Bangalore restaurant. The delicious, if sleep inducing masala dosa, with a little pot of ghee to pour over it, and a rava idli, made me feel very sad indeed to be leaving Asia where the food burns so brightly. Not that London has bad food, but I rarely crave it aside from the occasional longing for a good cheese or cream, while I certainly dreamt of biryani and dosa whilst in London.
My favourite lunch spot in London was a small dosa place on the Euston Road, but it’s sad to think that is will be the best I’ll have access to.
