Tavolone with Sammi from Meraz Cafe

 

Last month MiniBar and OpenBusiness launched a monthly dining experience called Tavolone. Frank Hannon was our gue

st chef, cooking Mediterranean style food. Sammi of Meraz Cafe Karahi house will be Tavolone’s second guest chef on 25 October. Sammi has been a great friend to us at OpenBusiness and we’ve been regulars at Meraz Cafe for over 6 years. The cuisine for the evening will be a mixture bagladeshi ,pakistani and indian food. Amongst the different dishes on our special menu for the night Sammi will be cooking a dish made from dried Jute leaves that he can remember his mother making for special occasions,  Sukhna Nalee Saag, home style  Korma (no cream in here) and Christian’s favourite Saag Gosht.

 

Meraz has been running from the same site on Hanbury Street off Bricklane since 1974 – and the food is still the same genuine, home style fare.  Have a look through the window and you’ll always see a bunch of Bangladeshi locals having a meal or a cup of tea. If you want to try what is absolutely the best curry available in London, before you come to Tavolone find Sammi at Meraz Cafe.

But you don’t have to believe us- check this review from the East End’s favourite artists Gilbert and George.

Tavolone will be hosted by Mother.
