Brunch at The Good Egg was one of the highlights of last week’s food-venture in London and woah was it good!
AMBIENCE:
Approaching the restaurant alone was an experience as there was this narrow entrance that opened up into a beautiful atrium space with chairs x tables around.
We sighted the restaurant from a distance and made our way towards it. The interior was quite simple with wood finishings and the hint of green x pink furniture.
FOOD:
Who doesn’t love a good brunch meal? Good Egg prides itself in being the ‘best brunch in London”. I can’t say I agree with that yet cause I haven’t been to many brunch places yet, but I know for a fact it’ll be among the top 5.

Pumpkin Hummus – £5
Merguez Sausage – £6

SALMAH’S SIDENOTE:
Fun menu with a range of options to choose from! Reminded me of this Turkish place I once had breakfast in in Edinburgh. Mediterranean breakfast meals are definitely one of my most recommended!
REVIEW OF FOOD:
Fluffy pita – £4
(warm + lightly charred w/ za’atar + olive oil)
Again, can’t go wrong with pita bread. Never. Soft and tasted really good.
Pumpkin Hummus – £5
(za’atar-roasted squash w/ cayenne + coriander, topped w/ toasted pumpkin seed + chilli relish)
I’ve been so open to trying various types of hummus lately and luckily I haven’t been disappointed yet. Who knew pumpkin hummus would be one of the best things I’ve ever tasted?
Merguez Sausage – £5
(smoky, aromatic lamb + beef sausages served w/ tangy preserved lemon yoghurt + sumac)
Definitely can’t go into a middle eastern restaurant and not try the sausage dish. We went straight for it and it banged so hard!
Goat Shawarma Hash – £12.50
(crispy potato, sweet roasted peppers, fried egg, pickles, filfel chuma mayo + our slow-cooked, fall-apart tender goat shawarma)
I was waay too excited to try this dish. I was mostly triggered by the ‘shawarma’ bit cause it meant well seasoned x marinated meat would be involved! It was a really nice dish as there was a nice play in texture between the egg, meat and potatoes, but most importantly the flavours were good!
Salt Beef Reuben – £12
(New York-style heritage brisket w/ melted smoked cheddar, fresh dill, crispy onions, kraut, Russian dressing + pickles, sandwiched in our house pretzel challah)
This had amazing flavours bursting out of it, however we wished the bun was bigger as it got messy real quick.
