Hackney Bridge Kitchens

Hackney Bridge Kitchens is home to many food traders - offering everything from Japanese inspired soul food, to Indian street food, Filipino barbecue, Neapolitan pizza and juicy burgers, as well as, plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. The space is divided into two sections: the ground floor, housing the food traders, and the upper mezzanine with plenty of seating.

Bovine Burger

Bovine Burger specialise in NYC-style smashed burgers. Knocking together otherworldly beefy smashed burgers with a concise list of toppings (cheese, bacon, you know the drill) and gorgeous house-made sauces, all crammed inside a glossy, bakery-made bun. Classic burgers, done right.

Don’t miss: The Bovine OG – the double cheese burger. It’s a real patty party.

Filigrillz

Filigrillz are the Filipino BBQ dons. There’s three things you should know about Filigrillz: prepare for bold flavours, grilled Filipino food and more BBQ’d meats for your British buck. Expect rice boxes and wraps filled to the brim with jasmine rice, salad and the choice of chicken thighs, pork stew or pork belly. Even on the greyest of days, these guys always bring the sunshine.

Don’t miss: The Gangsta Box ft not one, but two choices of meats, salad, and chilli oil for some bonus spice.

Made in Puglia

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Rainbo

Japanese soul food experts Rainbo are famed for its East Meets West flavours, with the menu a love letter to Japanese street food. Think pudgy, pillowy gyoza with a range of fillings, chicken katsu, bao, and the unbeatable Japanese fried chicken – it’s the perfect drinking food. An excellent taste of Japan, via Hackney.

Don’t miss: A tray of mushroom gyoza. Great for sharing, but absolutely not a requirement.

Tamila

South Indian curries are the order of the day at Tamila. Fragrant, warming and hearty, dip a flakey, layered roti into the spicy mutton/paneer butter masala/chicken curry/channa masala and you’re in for a one-way ticket to flavour town. Don’t miss the onion bhajis for a slap-up Tamila feast.

Don’t miss: The chicken curry. It’s a Tamila staple for good reason.
