My Village Hawraman Cafe Bar is a welcoming independent cafe at 38 Chalk Farm Road in Camden. The Hawraman mountain region of Kurdistan inspires its food, warm interiors and emphasis on hospitality. Books, chess and backgammon take the place of wireless internet, encouraging guests to talk, linger and treat the cafe as a genuine neighbourhood gathering place.
The menu is entirely focused on vegan and vegetarian food prepared with vegetables, grains, herbs, seeds and Mediterranean flavours. Falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, stuffed vine leaves, halloumi and toasted wholemeal bread can be combined as side dishes or ordered in generous plates. Pomegranate syrup and house basil dressing bring brightness to salads and mezze.
A vegan village plate brings biryani rice, aubergine in tomato sauce, baba ghanoush, fresh salad and toasted seeds together as a complete meal. Wholemeal wraps are filled with falafel, feta, aubergine or halloumi, while the daily soup can draw on lentils, mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower or roasted peppers. Kurdish breakfast, granola and homemade sweet treats broaden the choice earlier in the day.
Fresh juices, smoothies, coffee, tea, beer, wine and cocktails make the cafe useful from morning into the evening. A garden, regular live music and the bookable Dewakhan room add character beyond the food. The combination of nourishing plant based cooking, Kurdish inspiration and a deliberate focus on face to face connection gives My Village a distinctive place in Camden.
