Still no wine list and terrible glass ware. So much potential lost. So tired. Was a favourite. Not any more. Cheers.

Nu-Deli has never been my favourite haunt. The decor is aging and the menu plain and uninspiring. Anyway to tonight's dinner. The evening started with a Bruschetta following an unduly lengthy wait to be served, however we were ushered to a better seat by the waitress as a reservation had fallen through. The two were not linked. Service at other tables was also noticeably slow. It's Tuesday evening so it's also a slow night for customers. I had Moroccan Chicken and she had Gnocchi Lamb. The lamb had to be deconstructed prior to eating, the presentation was done with such aplomb even Sir Les Paterson would have blushed! The chicken was on the tough side. I've added pictures of our meal. You can tell the Lamb, it's the one with chops swimming in a sea white liquid. A woeful exhibition of restauranting.

The coffee is delicious, although there is often a long wait for it, with meals sometimes arriving before the coffee. Despite this, I like Nu Deli and would recommend it.
