I'm working back near Leather Lane this week again after a year away. The famous market is one of my favourite places in London for lunch, there are soo many halal options now, even more so than when I last was here. We are talking street food, restaurants and cafes. Love it here .

Whilst walking up and down the market spending most of my lunch break on what to eat I spotted that @tongue_and_brisket had a halal sign in the window. So I had to finally try a salt beef sandwiche. They also have a beef bagel as well. I sampled the roast beef and salt beef, but opted for the salt beef as its something different .

Price is £5.90 for a small sandwich, nothing really special. Pretty simple. With so many choices around I doubt I'll try again, but at least there's finally a place to try salt beef. I confirmed that the meat in all locations is halal and is purchased from Spitalfields Market

Pure heaven! Ordered classic salted beef with chips and drink and the sandwich was just amazing! The only thing I'd change would be adding English mustard. Highly recommend this place

Had a salt beef sandwich as a filling breakfast, along with a latka. Service was quick and very friendly and the sandwich was absolutely packed with meat. The mustard and pickle add flavour and we are definitely coming back to try a Reuben. Warning that the potato latka is incredibly filling-seriously makes a McDonald's hash brown look tiny in comparison.

The service was very polite and friendly (5 stars for them).
We've ordered the salty sandwich and a portion of chips. Everything was fine. I didn't like the meat that much, but I don't like meat that much anyway. Although the taste was ok, but it smelled like tuna to me. That's why I didn't like it.

Family business. 50-year meat salt recipe: 2 weeks in fridge and 21 days in a pickle juice.

Roast Beef 🥩 sandwich with baguette is delicious!

Salt Beef sandwich with toasted bagel 🥯 with chicken soup 🍜 is a nice lunch combo!

Place has hand sanitizer zone and tap 🚰 to wash hands.

Great food and staff!

Fantastic! and year later and Still even more Fantastic. Had the opportunity to visit again the other day and ordered a large salt beef sandwich with Gherkin for £7.50. Now that might seem quite a lot of money but for a very good and well packed salt beef sandwich it represented very good value. Of course it was also very tasty indeed!

We've had to change some of our suppliers since COVID19. Our salt beef and tongue is no longer Halal. But all other meats such as roast turkey, roast beef, chicken schnitzel, chopped liver and chicken soup are all still made with Halal meat.
