Lena's Deli in Hull is a real find. In a city surprisingly bereft of decent non-chain eateries, Lena's serves up wholesome Ukrainian-style nosh with a deli twist.
Today I had a toasted ciabatta with russian sausage (basically a light-pink garlickly salami thinly-sliced), cream cheese, pickled cucumber and tomato. Delicious! One of those sandwiches where you think it's going to be a struggle to finish, but oh no, no issue at all!
They had home-made fishcakes behind the counter which would be great I suspect with their curious salads, which include buckwheat, spicy carrot, vitamin and others. We tried the salad last time, was marvellous.
And cakes too. Today they had slices of Sharlotka, a Russian apple cake. Plus some very moreish-looking muffins.
Where is it? Across the road from the BBC building at the western end of Queen's Gardens. Stop by from 9am - 3pm Monday to Saturday - there's nowhere to sit inside but that's what the park's for - at least after it warms up somewhat!

Just bumped into this little Gem today, looking for reviews but strangely not much out there! I had a Roast Beef, Horseradish stuffing sandwich with roast potatoes. Wow, probably one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten. The place is clean, friendly and will definitely be going again to try one of their salads! They look awesome!!!
