There’s a new Israeli in town.
We’re a little late to Strut & Cluck, which opened in June. But London’s newest Israeli-inspired restaurant has been getting such ravesthat we wanted to give it a shout-out.
Chef Amir Chen’s turkey-centric menu includes harissa-coated wings, halloumi salad, meat-free koftas and “pita balagan” — an anything-goes, daily-changing concoction. There’s even a baked haroset and almond cake for dessert.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
