Duck & Waffle gets a bad rep.  The highest restaurant in the UK, with 360-degree views, an expensive menu and snooty staff is bound to ”“ but the fact that it is so difficult to secure a table must be for a reason, right? If you only remember one thing from this article today, let […]

The word “Dishoom” is the old Bollywood sound effect when a hero lands a good punch.  So it’s fitting that the “Bombay café” of the same name, in Shoreditch packs quite a punch.
