A taste of the Middle East.
Felt a bit homesick last night, popped out to a club in London called Umbaba which has a strong African/Middle eastern type them...a few drinks later i had a major urge for a chicken shawarma.
Off i go in a taxi to Edgware road.
It would seem that you cannot find any decent shawarma's in central or south London, i dont know why, but once you hit Edgware road there are loads of them.!!
Anyway one giant shwarma and pickles later, all is well with the world..
just thought id share that with you...............
hope you all have a great weekend
