Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years, you’ve most likely heard of Deliciously Ella (aka Ella Woodward) who is passionate about following a healthy lifestyle, but not sacrificing delicious food at the same time. Ella has recently opened up a Deli in London with her fiancé, and I was lucky enough to pay the Mae Deli a visit recently.
Before I even saw the sign of the Deli, as I walked up the street and saw a line of people queuing outside, I knew instantly that this must be the location of the very popular Deliciously Ella’s Deli.
It was incredibly surreal meeting Ella in real life, particularly after following her on Instagram for such a long time. It was great to see that she is so involved in the running of The Mae Deli, and she was even at the till when I paid for my lunch. She was incredibly friendly, and this added to my positive experience at the Deli!
My lunch was definitely delicious! I decided to go for a Mae Bowl- and I had a choice of 4 different dishes to put in the bowl. I chose honey-glazed sweet potatoes, hummus, a quinoa salad, and a green salad. I also tried one of the juices- I decided to go with the Roots one and was not disappointed! Both the meal and the juice were really tasty, and the best thing was that I truly felt healthy and fantastic after eating it. Although some would say the Mae Deli is too expensive, I think everyone has to remember that it is all very good quality food and that does come with a price tag!
