New featured article — Flavours of Paani Puri, Kingsbury, NW9

[ewan]

Hello and welcome to another week of RGL.



The featured article this week is Flavours of Paani Puri, NW9 9EG, a vegetarian Indian cafe in Kingsbury. It looks from the outside like a convenience store but don't be fooled! It's great value too.

There are three new articles this week. We have for you Tea Cosy, a cafe in Upminster, like an upmarket greasy spoon I suppose, is that what "British cafe" means? There's also Ashley Brook Fabrics, a rare article about something not food- or drink-related, this one being a Romford fabric shop. Finally, there's Little Coffee Shop in South Croydon. I have a small quiz for you: guess what it is. Those who answered "it's a little coffee shop" win!

We have an update to the Crumpled Horn article, a pub out Upminster way.

Finally a bunch of reported closures for you: Muncho cafe in Croydon; The Case Is Altered pub in Harrow Weald; The King's Arms pub in East Molesey; The White Horse pub in Hampstead Heath (this one is always opening and closing); The Railway Wetherspoons pub in Putney; The Goldsmiths' Arms in East Acton; and The Duke of York in Chiswick.

Flavours of Paani Puri is a cafe, not a restaurant! And a British cafe is a cafe serving British food.

I've corrected the description of FoPP!

Thanks! It really is a very casual sort of setup.

MUNCHO. What a name. I might start calling the cat that.

Also I didn't realise there was another The Case Is Altered in NW London - I went to the one in Pinner about 4 years ago after a charity swimathon with my Dad...

Heh, I've been there too. I wasn't impressed, though this was back in 2009 and maybe it's improved.
