Arancini Brothers - London

Had the chkn and mayo with citrus dressing wrap from here and it was very tasty! The mock chicken is delicious and the wrap is stuffed to the brim with salad and the chkn. Marked down a point just because I couldn’t actually taste or see any of the arancini balls in my wrap so I’m not sure if they were in there or were forgotten but it was still delicious.

I was so looking forward to some tasty arancini after a swim. I had been to Arancini Brothers in the past, (probably been a year) and had arancini with cheese and I think meat in it and thought the food was good. However, it seems to have gone vegan in that time. I found the vegan arancini not impressive: sticky in a strange, synthetic way, tiny, lukewarm rather than hot and for 7 tiny arancini and a can of soft drink I paid £9.58 which I find ridiculous. Shame. The staff seem nice and it is a nice place but I think they need to improve the quality drastically.

I was excited to revisit Arancini Bros after enjoying their Old Street location last year. I went for a late lunch in May, hoping to try something new, and ordered a classic wrap. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my choice. The risotto balls were hard and dry, unlike the ones I had at Old Street, and the salad they were served with appeared to be past its prime. I suspect that my late timing played a role in this, as the balls and salad may have been sitting out for a while. Despite this, the wrap was generously filled and reasonably priced, so I am hopeful that this experience was just a one-off.

The restaurant closed over a year ago, so I wouldn't recommend going there. However, there is a place next to it called Albion's, which is pretty good. It has everything you need.

We visited the restaurant after seeing pictures of their burgers online, and the food didn't disappoint! Good value for money and generous portion of fries, however found that the restaurant itself was unkempt and could do with a refurb!
