Delish Deli, 2, The Chronos Building, 9-25 Mile End Road, Stepney, London, E1 4TP

Delish is clearly an eatery which is trying to make itself a bit different from the rest.  It sells breakfasts, salads, a range of hot dishes, sandwiches and jacket potatoes.  So far I have tried the salad bowl, a shepherds  and a breakfast.  The salad bowl consist of choices of vegetables and cheese.  You have the usual lettuce tomato and onions but you also have carrots, sweetcorn, mushrooms peppers, sun dried tomatoes and also things like bean sprouts and bits of fruit.  It was really quite an extensive salad bowl which can be mixed with various meats such as chicken or turkey or you could have Tuna or prawn.  These ingredients  are available on their own or spicy so there is, for example, a Mexican spicy chicken.

 

The only hot lunch I have tried so far is the shepherds pie was quite good.  The potatoes were creamy and well mashed.  There was plenty of mince gravy and peas but I would have liked a richer tastier gravy.  Still I have had a lot worse.

 

The breakfasts  are acceptable though The sausages are really just average café quality.  There is no bacon though you can get turkey ham instead. coffee is filter coffee.  It is acceptable but it won’t blow your mind away! I find they tend to make it a little weak.  This may not be my first choice for breakfast.

 

Delish is really a cut above most of the rubbish found in Stepney.  It attracts a wide range of people including students and hospital workers and it seems to be quite successful. 

 

I was impressed by the range of food and the helpfulness of the staff.  Men and women work there and the level of English spoken by the staff is certainly reasonable.

 

In general then this is a decent place to eat and I would give it 7 out of 10.
