Haminados — Restaurant in London

Haminados

I’m writing to some dear ones to me

There be a Jewish cafe in my neck of the woods Downtown in Notting-hill. Yes, I was partially raised in this hub Be it city entanglements within maps Leave many a borough in the light to overlap

This enchanting cafe was my under the green umbrella starting point.

I’m now in the early stages of launching my first copy of Under The Green Umbrella’ magazine, You might recall I’m actually’ The Green Umbrella Queen’.

I wish to raise a New Year toast with champagne bubbles Later on from my present green location For every umbrella Joseph the cafes proprietor opened was basked with many culinary delights.

At the time my youngest sons were but still ripe bambino’s,

Joseph be one fine chef 👩‍🍳 His wife holds a smile that sends your eyes into dreamland Together, they mould Baking every moment of every day Freshly baked cakes will send your tastebuds watering Longing for more

My youngest son’s inkling was apple strudel I’m certain Joseph still rolls his sleeves up Amongst all his café delicious temptations Along each wall are photographs of the beetles band in their prime. Well Joseph was a sixties dude, I’m guessing !

Amongst other exotic music photos lining walls dressed in odd interesting crafts. There’s a photograph of me Alongside the beetles They have tried to crawl into my soul Well, I wouldn’t be writing poetry if I couldn’t string words into a dish. Would I now ?

I had to reminisce on old times In old city lanes Tis my favourite part of town We don’t always end up where our heart beats Yet, we can dream on Nothing’s impossible Remember those old days where everyone held hands Under a bandstand

I’m going to do my inner city rounds Joseph my dear one If you happen to catch this poem Whilst mixing your next dish Do remember that Apple strudel I’ll have a slice in your charming garden News Year day I’ll be arriving in my other sports car Well. angel’s must never open wings without Israel’s permission.

Haminados God be with you Congratulations on your cafe’s success Expect me at crack of dawn on the first day of the new year 2023

This lovely, tiny, quirky cafe is an absolute undiscovered jewel of London. Please forgive me if i do not remember the owner's name correctly but I think it was Joseph. He and his family make the most astonishing pies, quiches, baklavas, cakes, brownies and and and. A huge selection of stunning delicacies, always made fresh. And Joseph is not shy to present his mouth-watering creations with a passion for his craft burning in his sparkling eyes and gentle voice when he walks directly up to his customers presenting his freshly made new creations. Everything, the atmosphere, the products, the prices, and Joseph himself are as genuine and honest as humanly possible. Forget Buckingham Palace, forget the Gherkin, forget the London Eye... Haminados is the most stunning attraction in London.

Update: you might have read the two one star reviews on here and those people must be the must stuck up people ever to have walked the planet. If you want pretentious, nose-in-the-sky and tie-around-your-neck service and food, dont go to Haminados. You will hate Josephs warm, welcoming, personal, embracing, genuine, easy-going and passionate...

​Stepping into this charming spot, we were immediately welcomed like family by the husband-and-wife duo – their genuine warmth was evident from the moment we walked through the door. The delicious aromas from their homemade, scratch kitchen were what drew us in, and the food certainly didn't disappoint! Beyond the daily special, their selection of homemade desserts was a highlight. A pleasant surprise was the outdoor patio in the back, completely surrounded by fascinating Beatles memorabilia, adding a unique, nostalgic touch to the whole experience. It's clear the owners take immense pride in the delicious food they create and genuinely compliment each other's dishes, making for a truly...
