@jamesdimitritieats 🥪🥪🥪 Searching for the best sandwich in Soho I asked you where I should go. Here’s five places that came up a lot; – @tongue_and_brisket are the sister restaurant of B&K Salt Beef Bar in Edgware. They serve a decent salt beef sandwich on rye, Reuben or roast beef sandwich. The bread was fresh and the meat was moist. – @miznonlondon Tel Aviv pita-based restaurant serve some great pitas for eat-in or take out. You can also order them from across the road at The Blue Posts. My favourite pitas are the minute steak & cheeseburger. We also tried the house gazoz to drink too. – @keudelilondon have locations in Soho, Shoreditch and the City. They serve a good bahn mi. We went for the crispy pork and duck. Both were good and served warm. – @barbruno101 is the only proper greasy spoon in Soho. The sandwich was a little dry and could have done with some mayo but the fry up is pretty decent. – I Camisa & Son is 60+ year old Italian deli on Old Compton Street. The ingredients in the sandwich were great but foccacia was a little dry and the sandwiches were lacking some kind of sauce. Also mentioned; – @bar_kroketa crab toastie (not tried) – @shackfuyu sandos – I made an exception for pita but @bao_london definitely don’t count for the person who mentioned that #sandiwich #soho #london
