This is an unpretentious little jewish diner-type restaurant in an even less unpretentious…read moreneighborhood in the North of London. It is located in Edgeware, which I frequent a few times a year since I have a friend who lives there. However it was not until I googled: "best salt beef in London" that I knew that there is a hidden gem to be found here. To me, salt beef is the UK variant of pastrami minus the peppercorns on the outside. I love both but I've had bad versions of both. So when I learned that this is the best salt beef in London, I got excited. I came and found a little shop with a few tables to dine in and options to take away. The menu was your typical jewish fare: salt beef, salads, gefilte fish, dumplings and so on. I went for the salt beef on rye with mustard: simple but I took one bite and I was sold. I immediately regretted not knowing about this place earlier - this is sandwich heaven. Perfect beef, great bread and a little bit of mustard: delicious! You know you have yourself a winner when you find yourself craving more, even days after. Yes B&K Salt Beef Bar is far off everything and scores about minus ten on the ambiance scale. There must be much trendier and hipper places in Central London but do they also serve a AWESOME salted beef sandwich? I am not sure so until I know I'll stick with B&K. Highly recommended.

Not much to look at from the outside but don't let that put you off! The portions are huge so make…read moresure you only go when you're ravenous! Seriously, the salt beef is to die for and is very reasonably priced. It's only got a small seating area for about 20 people but you can also get take away. The staff are very friendly and it has a great atmosphere. Parking can be a little difficult as there are only a few bays on Whitchurch Lane and it's near to the traffic lights at a major junction in Edgware so you may have to park a distance away but the food it worth it! I would point out that the food is Kosher style - the meat isn't actually kosher but, if that doesn't bother you - you'll enjoy a great meal.

My Dad told me that Borehamwood is becoming the fastest growing Jewish town in London, which is…read moresurprising, because technically the Wood is actually in Hertfordshire not London. Anyway pedanticity aside, since I moved away ten years ago, the place has changed a lot. As I child if I wanted to dine out in Bwood, we just had to settle for Wimpy burgers on the high street as the only culinary option ( - it's kinda a restaurant as they have cutlery). Now days there are cafes, sushi places and *gasp* at least *two* restaurants on the high street. Oh Em Gee. Even better - there are delis like this that serve delicious non kosher jewish food. I had the chicken soup and latkes - both rather tasty. I've had so many disappointing chicken soup experiences at higher end central London restaurants like the Wolseley and Mishkins- it was so satisfying to finally get the soup akin to the type my yiddishe nana would make. With kneidlachs - light and delicious matzo-meal dumpling balls, floating in broth of Jewish penicillin aka the soup. The deli also specialise in salt beef - I've yet to sample this. All in all very good. the service could be a little bit more cheerful and the decor could be a little less sparse and basic - but overall I am happy.

Only problem was the super slow service - the waitresses were very sweet, but it took our food 45 minutes to arrive and it wasn't even very busy when we ordered. Not sure what happened.
