When I forget my lunch... or haven't had time to do the shop for the week, I find myself wandering Broomhill for something quick, but also satisfying. Before Med Food Co, I found myself at a chain sandwich shop, so this has been a nice change for me. When they first opened, this was a takeaway place only... now they have a few tables and chairs so you can have a seat while you eat.
The menu isn't massive, but sometimes simplicity is better. The food is delicious and I've not had a bad lunch yet. They offer a light breakfast menu with pastries, porridge, and omelette wraps. For lunch you can have a wrap, a rice box, or a salad box. While it isn't on the website, they also have a deal where you can have a half and half wrap... last week I tried a half chicken and half Halloumi wrap. While I like the wraps, I really like the rice box. Today it was a Lamb Kofte Rice Box. 2/3s of the box is filled with buttered rice, 1/3 fresh slaw (red cabbage, white cabbage, and cucumbers with a slice of lemon... no mayo), and the rice is topped with your choice of meat (or Halloumi or Falafel). There is also a choice of three different sauces: mint yogurt sauce, chili sauce, and/or barbeque red pepper sauce.
If that isn't enough they have wonderful desserts: custard tarts, baklava, brownies, and lovely meringues. Today they the meringues were Rosewater flavoured and were a beautiful pink and purple colour. They also have specialty items that you can buy... Turkish salsa, olives, feta, peppers, spices, Apple tea, and Turkish coffee.
You can call ahead if you are in a hurry and they are now available on Deliveroo. The most expensive item on the menu is £8, so you can definitely get lunch for under £10 and there are a number of options for under £5... so very much a good value! read more
