Pleasingly presented parcels, wrapped in delicate coatings with invigorating fillings that pack a crunch.

Ugly Dumplings

Streetfood favourites that now have a permanent site. There are the classics — aromatic duck, pork and prawn, satay chicken, but also delectable veg and vegan options.

My Neighbours the Dumplings

As the name suggests, dumplings are a speciality here. The pork belly and five-spice parcels are particularly delicious.

Manti

Turkish style dumplings, which means thicker dough on the outside and a rounder shape. They’re filled with British ingredients — fusion in action — and served with a tangy garlic yoghurt dip, smokey black chilli butter and deep-fried breadcrumbs on top.
