Roti King


Address:
40 Doric Way, London NW1 1LH
Telephone:
0796 609 3467
Website:

Description: Those Goodenoughers studying at UCL without the time to hurry back to college for lunch have an excellent option, just the other side of Euston Station. Roti King is, like many authentic restaurants, oddly signposted and requires going down a flight of stairs on a street that at first glance isn’t too salubrious. Go to the east side of Euston station (use the cash machines there too, because you will need cash, as they don’t take cards), turn left/north, and head to doric street. Ignore the sign

Description: Good Indian vegetarian spot on Chapel Market near Angel. Everything is vegetarian and many things vegan. It is self service buffet and you just keep going back as often as you want and all for about £6 (drinks extra). They only take cash and don’t serve alcohol but you can bring your own and there are lots of places locally that sell cold Kingfishers or Cobras. Best about this place is that it is plastered floor to ceiling with vegetarian propaganda – even in the loo.
