Food review: falafel, freshness and flavour at Wollaton’s Zhug

The phrase ‘hidden gem’ gets thrown around a lot these days, but Zhug is the type of underrated spot that truly deserves the title. One of Nottingham’s best-kept secrets, we’re almost reluctant to share this with anyone else, but in the spirit of championing our local independents (we don’t gatekeep here at LeftLion HQ!), this eatery is too good not to mention…
