Flying Pie

Loved the atmosphere of the place! Great pit stop for food and resting our tired feet after much walking around the market. The staff was extremely friendly and nice, offering our children balls of dough to play with. To be honest, we were expecting pie along the likes of shepard pie (crispy pie crust with chicken and mashed potato fillings) before we entered. Nevertheless, the pies here are really tasty and filling. Watch the crowd go by as you fill your belly with tasty pastry filled with melted cheese and ingredients of your choice.

I had never heard of this place before nor knew of the this egyptian "pie". I had stumbled on this place after a bit of shopping and walking from covent garden to Leicester sq. I looked through the window and studied the menu and thought "why not" and I wasn't disappointed, I really enjoyed it. Firstly, its not a pie in the traditional british sense, more a light pastry parcel which is filled with some delicious filling. It comes in a big square which is divided up. The place is in a nice location, pretty cramped but aren't all eateries in the west end? But I really liked the concept and the dish, its something different. I had the spicy chicken pie and it was very very filling. I will be back, maybe try a veggie option next time. Service was fine, everything arrived speedily and overall it was a very pleasant lunch.
