Janna Cafe - Tower Hamlets
Linda Talos Its a West African casual dining place in Whitechapel. The entrance is located a few meters away from the back of the East London Mosque. We popped in after going to the cinema (Curzon) nearby. We opted for the meat platter for 2 as it was recommended. The food was amazing, especially the lamb, which was juicy and tender at the same time. our platter also had beef cubes on it which was also good but i preferred the lamb. The dish itself is not spicy at all so it has mild flavours, cooked with peppers, onions and their one herb blend but not spicy. The spice, if you want some, comes from the 2 side sauces the medium heat red one (slightly peppery and maybe has come cayenne in there) and the green sauce which is the real spicy one (i assume green chillies or similar) and the good news is you can use both sauces as much or as little as you like. For me it added depth to the dish. I also enjoyed the Guava juice. The dish is very big so we hardly finished 1/3 between the 2 of us, and ended up taking home the rest. Good food, nice spot for a quick and tasty halal meat lunch or dinner.
