For years, there has been a donkey sized hole in Greek street food restaurants in London. While burgers turned gourmet, bao buns went viral and tacos took over, Greek cuisine got somewhat left by the wayside. This is a crying shame. After all, we were well ahead of that trend; street food in Greece goes…
Just a two-minute walk from Aldgate East tube station in the borough of Tower Hamlets, to the east of the City of London, you can find our modern Greek restaurant, Hungry Donkey. You can find Donkey where he resides, on the bustling, trendy Wentworth Street, one of East London’s little gems. Our Donkey is versatile,…
I am excited to announce that I’ll be bringing our brand of delicious and simple street food to the Maltby Street Market this July and August in association with one of our suppliers and supporters, Maltby & Greek. For those who don’t know the Maltby Street Market (made up originally of former traders from Borough…

We can’t be certain whether or not the first hipsters or the earliest examples of street food began in…
If you, like me, love all things Greek, then I imagine you wonder Why are food blogs so popular? Well it of course has something to do with the first person point of view. When reading a review or a recipe on a blog you are doing so because you often have more faith in…
Summer has come to East London (well, almost!) and as we head towards July, with the hope of sunnier days, there’s only one thing the people of East London are looking for – a sunny terrace! On the corner of Old Castle Street and Wentworth Street you’ll find my brand new outside area enclosed by…
For restaurants in Spitalfields it’s easy to take for granted the market itself and the history of the area, and not fully appreciate it. Coming over the the UK only last year from Greece, I’m the first to admit that I don’t know nearly as much as I should do! I thought I’d do a little research…
