Fresh flavours in NW3

My date, Herbivorous G, was delighted.  My ‘Red’ juice and her ‘Feeling 21’ (if only) had us glowing in minutes. But it’s not all raw bites and abstinence.

Because no one can be saintly 24:7, there are plenty of food options for the ‘dirty’ vegan. The dishes we shared were deliciously far from prim. Stars of the show were crunchy-coated BBQ cauli wings with sticky sweet and smoky sauce. The Colonel would have been lickin’ his fingers. The Kojo Burger was meaty textured and definitely far from with its sweet Thai chilli sauce, squidgy bun, potato wedges and garlic aioli. Teriyaki chick’n bites were chewy, but their bowl-mates - saintly brown rice and veg - were easier on the teeth. A side of broccoli was simply served strewn with raw red chilli.

Not really needing any more, we shared a miso chocolate brownie, which, although not pretty, was a rich, gooey and dark with cocoa content.

Around us yummy mummies with or without their children; loners with laptops and young couples were stocking up on nutrients.

Kojo is worth a visit — you’ll be making a mitzvah for your health and the planet.
