I still haven't cooked the promised first dish, but I will make it on Saturday. However, I have to talk about the BEST falafel in London and it's actually down the street from my work. It's a small stall on Goodge Place and their falafel sandwiches are very close to what you get in Lebanon.
The falafel stall belongs to a bigger chain called Hoxton Beach Falafel, please check them out

The guys over there always greet me and give me sandwiches for free, few days ago my colleague Andy (http://www.andyhau.com/SPLASH.html) got a free sandwich and today Sachin did! Lucky boys!! Must be my charm (joking...or maybe not) ;-)
Today, they served Taamiya instead of Falafel, it's the Egyptian version of Falafel, to show their support for the Egyptian protestors against Mubarak. They called it "Making the Mubaraks feel at home in London". By the time I arrived there with Sachin, they have sold out, so next Monday it's Taamiya day.

I actually never had Taamiya, can't wait to taste that popular Cairo street food next Monday!
