Global Street Food Kitchen

Was invited to check this place out by a professional cook friend of mine and was discouraged when I hear that it was a multi-​cuisine restaurant. I thought of ‘Jimmy’s’ and its Jack of all trades, master of none approach to food. I could not have been more wrong. Global Street is not a buffet and every dish is cooked to order by chefs with a pedigree (Dorchester Hotel if you please!). The cuisines on offer encompass India, China, Mexico, Italy, Thailand, America and the UK. I had Mushrooms on Toast (for which the phrase ‘to die for’ must have been coined) as a starter and Penne with Creamy Chicken Mushroom Sauce (I like mushrooms, OK!). All the chicken is free range and sourced from a farm in Yorkshire. My companion opted for Fiery Chicken Wings and the Curry of the Day. We chose Mocktails for drinks and these were freshly made and served in jamjar glasses which is fun. My Strawberry Basili was refreshing and not too sweet while my friend loved her Mojito Virgin. The service was extremely efficient and friendly and the décor is colourful and arty (don’t be put off by the rather drab exterior, the ambience inside is warm and buzzy). They’ve not been open long and I hear that there are plans to open a Covent Garden branch in the future. If they carry on serving fresh food at a very reasonable price like this, they’ll do very well.
