Useful signal, but still lighter than the standouts.

A blink-and-you'll-miss-it Algerian hole-in-the-wall serving viral, massive baguettes stuffed with fries for a fiver.

Ordering Strategy

Strictly a solo or duo mission due to the tiny size. Plan to take your sandwich to Finsbury Park nearby rather than eating in.

What to order

Safe first

Merguez & Chips Baguette

One of the standout 'Algerian sarnies' on a compact four-item menu, praised for being 'ridiculous value' and proof that the simplest things are often the best.

Hungry

Mincemeat, Potato & Egg Baguette

Described as containing 'crushed up chips,' this substantial sandwich is noted for its size and value, representing one of the 'best feeds Londoners have had in ages.'

Wildcard

Chicken Liver Baguette

One of the four specific Algerian sandwiches offered; it's a unique option for those wanting to try the full range of this 'unassuming Finsbury Park spot.'

What to skip

Skip
Chicken Breast SandwichCritically panned as a 'soggy mess' that 'practically fell apart' after only two bites; reviewers suggest steering clear in favor of other menu items.

Good to know

There are only about four seats inside. The menu is very limited (only 4 options). Service is fast but expect a queue during lunch.
