Mamalan, whose success stems from serving street food many moons ago, have spread their wings to open up a fifth London venue. Boating 28 bird cages and a shiny new cocktail list, the people of Shoreditch can now count on quality evenings fuelled by flavoursome Beijing food. Handmade dumplings, spicy chicken wings and slow-cooked pork buns are amongst the many dishes to choose from, all of which go hand in hand with the new selection of cocktails on offer. If you’re after a heady drink to wash down your food, you can’t go wrong with Lucky Number 8. It’s spiked with Absinthe and comes presented with a neat staircase of freshly sliced apple.
Weaving its way through London hotspots like Brixton and Dalston, Mamalan have made one thing clear; Londoners are hungry for traditional Chinese dishes. With reasonable prices and a 24 seated venue screaming industrial chic, this place is sure to be packed from opening to close.
