in Lisson Grove for a rather underwhelming production of Medea we wanted quick eats out of the sun. Firebrand Pizza looked a good bet. It’s a shady room with a big window to watch the folks of the Grove go by. The menu is standard pizza and starters so went for a platter of meat…
Where Kho went wrong Khoai goes right - keep it simple on service and dish up the good stuff.
Do not under any circumstance play jazz lite over your sound system. Combined with the enervating combined effect of high amounts of caffeine and bad service this could result in a Falling Down style situation. You don't want that. And more to the point nor do your other customers.
Now that A Midsummer Night's Dream has finished it's time to flag up my own next production with the Crouch End Players as part of the Crouch End Festival. As part of an evening of new writing I'm directing a new translation of the French classic, A Door (Should Be Either Open Or Shut).
A gaggle of friendly fellers behind this counter make this the perfect place for authentic Greek cooking in a chilled atmosphere. One of the best so far this year.
Maybe it's more of a lunchtime joint but it's a good post-exhibition option if you want straight up modern cooking at a good price.
For a total of £13 you'd find it hard to eat that well for that kind of money elsewhere in Stroud Green.
Calamari, smoked aubergine and good pizza. Radici delivers superior Italian at a mid-range price.

Stodgeless pheasant in a much improved room. Shame about Freddie Mercury and the gang.
