Restaurant Review: The MaE Deli - Good Things

Sophie Ritchie tries lunch at The MaE Deli for a meal that tastes every bit as good at its Instagram photos suggest.

We arrive on a busy Sunday afternoon and as the deli is fairly small in size, this means there’s a small crowd of hungry folk almost lining up outside the door.

Rather than selecting set lunch options, the deli works by creating your own personalised bowl from four of the numerous bright dishes.

There’s plenty of colourful creations that catch my eye – but eventually, I opt for a bowl brimming with Roasted Sweet Potato with Coriander Tahini, Butterbean & Cauliflower Falafel, Olive & Sundried Tomato Quinoa and Grilled Pepper, Courgette & Aubergine with Sorrel Pesto – accompanied with a cinnamon cold-pressed ‘Mylkshake’ and a trendy turmeric latte that arrives in a cup almost bigger than my bowl.

Whilst everything at The MaE Deli is wheat, dairy and refined sugar-free, this doesn’t equate to being bland or boring in the slightest.

Grosvenor - Deliciously Ella to open 'MaE' in Mayfair following the ...

After successfully launching The MaE Deli in Marylebone, Ella Mills and husband Matthew Mills open MaE, in Mayfair.

Internationally recognised cookery author and entrepreneur, Deliciously Ella, (aka Ella Mills) and husband Matthew Mills, have today announced the exciting news that their second site, ‘MaE’, is opening its doors in Mayfair in October.

Following on from the huge success of The MaE Deli in Marylebone, which opened less than a year ago to rave reviews, the new site will bring a delicious food offering to the heart of London’s West End.

MaE will be just over double the size of the existing deli, to create more space for customers and meet the growing demand for fresh, natural food.

With the anticipated arrival of The Elizabeth Line at Bond Street station, Mayfair is adapting and attracting enterprising new businesses such as MaE to ensure it continues to flourish and thrive.”

Lunch at The Mae Deli by Deliciously Ella, London | Handbags and ...

My lunch at The Mae Deli was as fab as I'd been hoping.

If you haven't heard of The Mae Deli yet allow me to introduce it - the deli-slash-café is the latest venture of Ella Woodward aka Deliciously Ella (aka my healthy eating crush.)

And I've now concluded that I need to move somewhere in London with close proximity to The Mae Deli.

I really like mixing hot and cold foods too.

I may have to try and resist going to The Mae Deli every time I'm in London.

Deliciously Ella opens a new deli in the Herne Hill neighbourhood

The healthy eating genius behind Deliciously Ella, Ella Mills, tells The Resident about her new deli, The Kitchen Counter, in Herne Hill Back at the tail end of my university days, I started following an inspirational blogger with a fresh take on healthy eating on social media.

Although Ella Mills’ (née Woodward) trademark tone and branding was already fully formed, few would have predicted that her rise and rise as an entrepreneur and as a spokeswoman for plant-based eating would be quite so stratospheric.

The Kitchen Counter follows in the footsteps of The MaE Deli on Seymour Place and MaE on Weighhouse Street near Hyde Park with an ethos of natural, simple and honest food – but the concept is slightly different, as I discovered when I caught up with her at the launch of her summer herb garden pop-up in Exchange Square, near Liverpool Street.

Recipes she’s been serving up recently include courgette muffins, banana and walnut bread with berry compote, Tuscan bean stew and Thai curry.

‘We’ve got sweet potatoes with coriander and tahini dressing, which is bright orange and green, and wild rice salad, olives, tomatoes… all of these yummy things that you look at and think “ooh, that looks incredible”, rather than, “oh, that’s really virtuous.

Seymour Place Deli - Deliciously Ella

Best-Selling Author Deliciously Ella Closes Two London Delis ...

Former clean eating advocate and vegetarian recipe writer, Ella Mills — who goes by the name Deliciously Ella — has announced two of her three London deli-restaurants, in Marylebone and Herne Hill, have closed.

It is in part, she says, so that she can focus on the new, bigger venue which opened, also in Marylebone, on Weighhouse Street.

Mills, who has 1.2 million Instagram followers, is among the UK’s most high-profile food personalities — certainly a progenitor of the clean eating and wellness narrative that gripped the nation three years ago.

To her Instagram audience, Mills announced: “We’re going to be saying goodbye to our deli[s] at Seymour Place and Herne Hill.

She added: “We’re really going to miss Seymour and Herne Hill and both will always have such a special place in the Deliciously Ella journey, but we’re excited for all of the things to come at Weighhouse Street, and look forward to seeing you there soon.”

Pachamama, London W1: 'Unlikely to trouble the Deliciously Ella ...

We’re instructed to order “three to four dishes each” from an eccentric menu, kicking off with “snacks” and “sweets”, before moving to “sea”, “land” and “soil”.

Chunks of almost caramelised aubergine are cooled by a pool of smoked yoghurt and given texture by toasted pecan; what with these and fried plantain in a mulch of black olive and feta, sweetened with that yacón syrup (from the root of an Andean plant and touted as the next superfood), the vegetarian pal is in a state that can only be described as blissed out.

Chicarrónes are like the best sweet’n’sour pork you’ve never had, flesh luxuriously tender, fat melting, the small chunks crisp on the outside from a thorough deep-frying and slicked with a sticky glaze.

Rawson’s background in everything from streetfood burgers (Lucky Chip) to fine dining (Viajante) means food as rollercoaster, swooping from huge, trashy flavours (those chicharrónes) to nuanced delicacy (sea bream ceviche, beautifully balanced, with the occasional “Eek!”

Rawson moved on last month – I’ve heard possibly to a higher-end version of Pachamama – but he’s left a hell of a menu behind.

Farmacy, London W2: 'I pray I never eat here again' – restaurant ...

Deliciously Ella with her Mae “delis” (although she has now, in a slightly panicky way, distanced herself from the word “clean”); M Raw, “London’s first 100% gluten-free fine dining restaurant”; Vita Mojo, which promises to “put you in control of your diet”; the Detox Kitchen; Rawligion; and too many more.

But my main event is this glittering, plant-filled restaurant from Camilla Fayed, daughter of Mohammed Al, in west London, clean eating’s spiritual home.

In what’s something of a portent, ingredients are repeated all over the place: the frijoles, salsa, guacamole and “sour cream” (grouty stuff made from nuts) that feature in a plate of nachos also turn up in the Mexican bowl; ditto the meze – clunky, pasty sweet potato patties (“falafel”?

A vast, Instagram-worthy sundae, a “Berry Mess” of mostly blueberries, “cream” and “coconut nice cream” with, lurking in its depths, dusty shards of “maple meringue” (made of, I dunno, actual dust?)
