When you think ‘Greek Food’ you might think long lazy lunches in the sun or a big sharing dinner with the family, but how about Greek breakfast? Believe it or not, us Greeks know a thing or two about putting on a proper brekkie, and it goes further than Greek yoghurt – although there’s no…
David Harfield brings his cloak and wand to the Aldgate East Greek street food restaurant, Hungry Donkey. I’ve smashed a few plates in my time, but it’s usually been due to a drunken accident and followed by the hasty dropping of banknotes into a waitress’s hands and a solemn promise never to try and perform…
Can you believe it was only a year ago that we were putting the finishing touches to our little restaurant on Wentworth Street? Next week I will be celebrating the first year and being the party loving donkey that I am, I’ve taken it upon myself to lay on some birthday celebrations. Next Wednesday 11th…
I don’t know about you, but traipsing around looking for somewhere for lunch in Liverpool Street when you’ve got a precious hour long off is not my kind of lunch break! Well, that’s why I aim to not only give you the option to reserve a table, or even pre-order your meal and simply collect…
Guilt free meat by the kilo! At first glance the menu seems absurd, a kilo of meat for between £50-60? No one will want this much meat and no one will pay that much money. But HD recommend a kilo between friends, four of them. So when you break that down and take into account…

In the last few years we have begun to see a change,…
As most of you may know, the 1st of May is Greek Easter 2016 (Pascha!) so whilst Easter might be in the past for some of you, for us Greeks we’ve got it all to look forward to. It’s set to be a weekend filled with sharing dishes, succulent souvla, homemade pastries and more. My…
You could call Greek food many things, but rarely is it ever complicated. Greek cuisine is laid-back. You won’t find many references to jus or specialist cooking apparatus. Fork, farm and fishing rod provide fodder for the oven or grill, and a smattering of herbs, flatbreads and sauces do the rest at this Greek restaurant…
Less than a week to go until Tsiknopempti on the 3rd of March and I’m already getting close to booked out! Well it’s not surprising – I’m having a souvla feast with spit-roasted free-range chicken, pork & lamb by the kilogram for everyone to share! Oh, and if you don’t know what Tsiknopempti is then…
