Shuq Cafe ሹቅ ካፈ -
Nelly Currie Definition of hidden gem! Such flavoursome food, lovely service, great atmosphere. We got the Shuq special and it was £15 and served two! If I lived locally I’d be back all the time
4 /5 Alice Gee: We got a Deliveroo tonight. We have eaten here in the past and thought it was terrific. They do the best pho broth of all of the Vietnamese places near us.
We ordered quite simply, We shared a pho with rare beef, some papaya salad and a starter of honey chicken wings.
The pho was very good but arrived with most of the broth spilled and wasted. Not sure if this was the fault of packaging or our Deliveroo driver. Beef was tender. Garnishes were a wedge of lime, and a scant quantity of bean sprouts and mint. No little tubs of hoisin or sriracha so you need to have that in the pantry if you are going to order a delivery.
The starter of wings were good. Roasted rather than fried and a nice sauce that was sweet but not cloying. The papaya salad was a disappointment. There were plenty of prawns but the nuoc cham dressing was used too sparingly.
I think I enjoyed 3 Mien better during restaurant visits than as a takeaway.
