4 Dendy Deli is an institution and has been operating since the 90's I think. Have been here many times either to eat in or to takeaway a coffee and falafel wrap. I really like their falafel wrap with its pickle. There is lots of seating inside and out too. They have a large selection of cakes and my husband's favourite is their cheesecake. 5.6.25 called in for late lunch and I had falafel wrap and bowl of chips while husband had Aussie breakfast. Food was good and as usual could only eat half the wrap. Place was deserted and the usual display of tempting cakes was seriously underwhelming. Look it's good for a quick meal and as long as you don't expect anymore you'll be fine.
