Gaby's Deli

After I've heard a lot of great things about Gaby's,  I went there with my partner. The service was horrible! The first waitress that wanted to take our order seemed to be quite nice but we weren't ready to order. That was a big mistake, because the next one ruined my day! I politely asked for a minor change (cous-cous instead of rice). Her response to that was, that she actually moaned, rolled her eyes and crossed out my order with an attituded I've never experienced in a restaurant before. I was nice to her anyway, but she smashed the plates on the table and ignored me when I said "thanks". I've never been treated as badly in a restaurant before and I have no idea what I did to deserve that. Even my boyfriend, who normally doesn't care if the service is good or bad found her intolerable. Of course we didn't tip and we won't come back!

The food was ok. The falafel and the mushroom salad were quite nice (the only reason why I give 2 stars), but the soups were pretty much tasteless and the skin of the chicken was flabby.

Das scheint ein echter Geheimtipp im Theatre-District zu sein. Sieht etwas schlicht aus, hier kann man aber lecker orientalisch Essen zu wirklich guten (für London) Preisen. Direkt neben dem Leicester Square, gut und günstig und äußerst frequentiert. Wir kamen an einem Samstag um halb sieben und mussten etwa eine viertel Stunde auf einen Tisch warten. Das hat sich aber gelohnt. Und drei Matt Damons, die per Foto an der Wand ihren Besuch beweisen können einfach nicht irren!
