Korean fast food joints, fusion food vans, soju cocktail bars… London is on a K binge. Here's our guide to the dishes that are this season’s biggest food trend Bibimbap (bee-bim-bap) It might sound a bit like a jazz scat, but bibimbap is a dish of rice with other bits and bobs such as beef, eggs, vegetables and fermented chilli paste (gochujang). Dolsot bibimbap, served in a hot stone bowl to crisp up the grains of rice at the bottom, is a real crowd pleaser. It often comes with minced raw beef and a raw egg, which cook as you mix it all together. For variety, Bi Bim Bap – which has just opened a second branch in Fitzrovia takes the golden gong. There are ten different versions on offer, including a few veggie ones. The student’s favourite is Seoul Bakery near Tottenham Court Rd tube, where the walls are covered in cutesie Post-it notes from appreciative customers and a standard bibimbap (served in a cold metal bowl) costs a paltry £4.50. Bulgogi (bul-goh-gee) Any barbecue restaurant worth its salt serves this sweet and savoury beef dish. Using sirloin, or other prime cuts, the meat is thinly sliced and marinated in ingredients including soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil and puréed Asian pear before getting a good grilling. Korea Garden is one of our favourites for all things charcoal-cooked. For a filling fixed meal, order the bulgogi lunchbox – including rice, salad, pickles and more at Asadal. If you’re not in the mood to play it straight, there are plenty of jazzed-up fast fo

From restaurants serving classic Moghul food to modern interpretations of pan-Indian cuisine From homely, dhal dishes to Punjabi-grilled meats worth queuing for, get to know the best Indian restaurants in London. Do you agree with the choices? Use the comments box below or tweet your suggestions. Tayyabs We’ve featured Tayyabs every year since it opened in 1972, and every year it gets busier and busier. From its original premises in a small café, it has gradually swallowed up the pub next door. If you come here expecting a relaxing evening, cheery service or an intimate atmosphere, you’ll be disappointed: this is a full-on, massive, hectic, loud, in-and-out sort of place. Also, if you come here without booking, expect to wait up to an hour for a table. But we recommend this Punjabi stalwart wholeheartedly because of the cheapness and unreserved boldness of the food. Don’t even think about visiting without trying the fiery grilled lamb chops, which is still one of London’s best dishes. The rest of the menu is all about rich dahls and masala channa; unctuous, slow-cooked lamb curries; and good versions of North Indian staples – onion bhaji, spice-rubbed tikka, hot, buttery breads and juicy kebabs. Regulars look to the daily specials, such as Karahi lamb chop curry on Thursdays, or meat biryani on Fridays. The corkage-free BYO policy doesn’t do its popularity any harm either.
