A lot of the reviews for Delaziz have focused on the rather delicious savoury menu, but I haven't yet seen any that mention the mouth-watering selection of cakes, tarts, tortes and sweet pastries offered by this restaurant. I was introduced to it over the weekend by a friend who is an authority on the best cake shops in London, and I was not disappointed.

I had a strawberry and custard tart which was almost too rich to finish and my dining companion ordered a slice of marble cake which would more accurately be described as a slab - very generous portions indeed. This will definitely become one of my regular haunts. :-)A lot of the reviews for Delaziz have focused on the rather delicious savoury menu, but I haven't yet seen any that mention the mouth-watering selection of cakes, tarts, tortes and sweet pastries offered by this restaurant.

Local Hero Deli has huge potential; charming atmosphere that elevates it from the dreary-ness of the chains and an ace up its sleeve of a pretty little sun-trap of a garden at the back with un-cramped seating.

On a further cheery note the coffee was delicious.

On the downside: the very appealing quiches were let down by the rubberising effect of being heated in a microwave (I assume), the slight nonchalance of the staff (who, for example, let it be known that splitting 2 quiches between two plates for the sake of variety was something they would rather we did) and the rather lame/ unloved salad that came with it. These downside issues almost reduced the review to a 3 stars but I think this place has too much potential/ charm not to highlight it to shoppers/ local dwellers.Local Hero Deli has huge potential; charming atmosphere that elevates it from the dreary-ness of the chains and an ace up its sleeve of a pretty little sun-trap of a garden at the back with un-cramped seating.
