A humble, cash-only kiosk deep in Shepherd's Bush Market serving hefty, heart-warming Algerian sandwiches stuffed with fries and eggs.
Ordering Strategy
Bring cash. Expect a wait of around 20 minutes as everything is cooked fresh. There is very little seating, so plan to take it away.
What to order
Minced Meat Sandwich
Often referred to as the 'special mince,' this is a core staple of their Algerian spiced meat offerings, cooked on a flat-top grill and chopped together with chips and egg for a 'joy to eat' experience.
Sam’s Special 2 Meat Sandwich
This 'heavy duty' and 'generous' option allows for two meats of your choice; it is described as 'hearty cookery' that perfectly satisfies 'diabolical drunken cravings.'
Lamb's Liver Sandwich
Listed as a highlight by multiple critics, this 'marinated liver' option is 'tender, flavourful,' and part of a menu that reviewers claim is 'some of the best street food' in London.
Merguez Sandwich
A traditional pick featuring 'Algerian spiced sausage' that is slathered in harissa and mayo, then stuffed into 'Matlou’,' a fluffy, round, leavened bread made with semolina.
Fish sandwich
Featured as one of London's top 50 sandwiches.
