I've come back to visit London several times since then (most recently in September) and its amazing how all the shops have changed on this block but this sandwich shop still remains! I am sooo glad it's still here! Seriously the best sandwiches, hot dishes such as Samosas- still cheap and fast service! Love that the locals come here everyday and know they can get the best sandwich or hot food from here! I'm obsessed with their simple bacon and egg sandwich (all comes on a baguette) I get it with no sauce of any kind. My second choice- chicken with corn. Simple yet so tasty.

I came here 9 years ago when I was a student and vowed to come back to try more tasty treats. I did just that and brought my husband this time! We ordered: -Tandoori sandwich (hot) -Peri Peri Chicken sandwich (hot) Both were so delicious, huge, and under 3 pounds (which is unbelievable)! I would say peri peri chicken was the tastiest. The flavor was on point and had a good kick of spice.

We decided to brave the line for the cheese toasties - a few others hopped out of line into the raclette line, which was much shorter - and were able to order our sandwich after about 15 minutes of waiting. The cheese toasties were made fresh-to-order, and our sandwich was freshly scraped from the griddle as soon as we got to the front of the line. Unlike basic grilled cheese sandwiches, Kappacasein includes leeks and a blend of cheeses for a decadent, gooey bite. We ended up sharing a sandwich, which was the right call. I'm glad we tried it!

Tourist trap, but delicious strawberries…read more You probably don't need my review to tell you this is a place to visit when in London. Going in for the first time, don't expect to have a place to stand or sit. We struggled a bit to enjoy our food -- hovering over a flower planter box while the wind blew away all of the cheese from our sandwiches, haha! We had to visit this place two times because there were too many items we wanted to try. The first experience felt like a disaster. Everyone was packed in like sardines while the loud speaker was warning us of pickpocketing on a weekday. The second experience, we arrived at 10:30AM and had a more enjoyable experience, hence the 3/5 rating. Items we tried: 1. The Ginger Pig - Sausage roll was too greasy in my opinion. 3/5 2. The Black Pig - "The Best One" was delicious and very filling. It's ideal to split since there are two sandwiches in one tray. The parmesan was flying everywhere because it was a windy day. 4/5 3. Bread Ahead - We tried a few donuts, but the stand out was the Crème Brûlée. I may have eaten too much, I couldn't enjoy this one 3/5 4. Kappacasein Dairy - "Toastie" was absolutely as toasty as it sounds. The bread was crispy and crunchy, the cheese was unreal. 5/5 5. Bomba Paella - Lobster Paella was expensive and the portion was small. The paella was average. 3/5 6. Turnips - viral chocolate covered strawberries. They're expensive, but worth it. This was the only thing we went back twice for. It's that good! Super refreshing. The strawberries were exactly what we needed after eating a ton of heavy food. 5/5 Everything at Borough Market was quite expensive, but that's expected at a tourist spot.

Execution of the food was great, but flavor wise was hit and miss. I wanted to try so many pastries but I know desserts from other countries can differ greatly. I had a spinach and cheese pocket and ate some of a veggie sandwich. The pocket was good and savory with a flakey phyllo dough shell. The veggie sandwich was lacking in flavor and on the bland side. The pastel de nata pastry was delicious. It was the same as an egg custard tart. The apple pie however was disappointing. Nothing like the chunky spice laden apple pie filling you find in the states.

So basically the El Jefe has ruined other sandwiches for me. Thanks, Project Sandwich. Sure, I can…read morestill get a decent sandwich elsewhere, enjoy the first few bites but then I realise, oh, this isn't a delicious cuban sandwich lovingly prepared with good quality ingredients that's so huge I could never finish it all. All sandwiches should strive to this level. The first time I had an El Jefe I even saved the half I couldn't eat (I don't do leftovers) as consigning it to the bin was just too sad of a fate. The second time I had one I brought someone else along. The pork has some really interesting spicing - to the point that at first, I wasn't sure I even liked it. But yes, it's delicious. Even the ham is warmed through on the flat top before going in. It's all generously sauced before being pressed into a flat, hot, crusty delicious hunk of food. Just try it. If you don't like it, call me. I'll come have the other half!

But they all pale in comparison to the Sandwich Project and their El Jefe. It was a drizzly day when I came here on the recommendation of my wife. I dare say it was because of the iffy weather that they weren't all that busy - in fact on this particular day, none of the collection of excellent stalls at Kerb at Kings Cross were busy. Ordering is simple - they do two sandwiches, one was the El Jefe, the other was a club sandwich of some description with a fried egg. You pay, get a number and then wait. But don't go too far, because watching the detail and effort they put into the sandwiches is worth the price of admission alone. For example, with the El Jefe - they put the ham and pork on the flat top. I've only ever seen that done for a sandwich on shows like Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, and films like Chef - I've certainly never heard of it being done in a British restaurant or streetfood vendor. The best I've had before was someone fried the sandwich in butter, but the ham never touched the grill. Immediately I'm enthralled. Then they finish the up on a plancha! They had an actual plancha! Ok sure, it could have been a panini press in another life, I'm no expert, so I wouldn't know the difference by looking at it. But it did the job - it pressed it down into an edible size and toasted the bread. As for the sandwich? Sublime. I no longer know whether this or Liberty Cheesesteak's original cheesesteak is the best sandwich in London (that Cheesesteak has been my undisputed king for several years). It's a close tie, certainly. That is how good the El Jefe is. The London sandwich scene has a new challenger!

It is strictly takeaway as there is really no place to sit and eat. The small shop is very straightforward with just a deli-like counter from which to see the goods and order. We were there on a very busy Saturday morning. We queued up in a line of people that extended out the door. They were pretty good about keeping the line moving, however, and we placed our order within 6 or 7 minutes of joining the queue. My wife had a Peanut Butter-Filled Plain Bagel, which she liked quite a lot. I had Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese on an Everything Bagel. It was very good. The service was very efficient and reasonably pleasant and the prices were quite fair. We will go back if we ever have the chance to do so in the future.

They are best known for their salt beef bagels. At the front, in their store window, premade salt beef bagels are ready to be fixed with either or both mustard and pickles. Various pastries/desserts are displayed in their counter ready to go. Note: no table seating inside, just counter tops. Ordered : Salt beef bagel- bagel warm, generous amounts of salt beef, mustard, and sliced pickles. The bagel was over slathered with a horseradish mustard, so much, that it overpowered the taste of the beef. Smoked salmon bagel without cream cheese- underwhelming. Bagel was cold and hard. I did not eat the top half of the bagel. Minimal amount of smoked salmon. The girl behind the counter looked like she could care less to be there and wasn't super friendly or helpful.

I'd be there everyday in the short queue looking up and down at the freshly made arancinis, pastas, chicken cutlets and other Italian classics but never deviating from the sandwich menu and never choosing anything other than "No.1 on ciabatta, not toasted" Recipe: 1.

You won't need crisps or anything else to complete your lunch. One Dino's sandwich should suffice, but I bet you'll still be tempted to get some of the other Italian goodies in his shop. It's hard not to.
