The name comes not from the antelope but from a cherry-red 1964 Chevrolet the chef drove around Egypt as a kid, which tells you most of what you need to know about how personal this Soho restaurant is. Egyptian and North London cooking wind together across a menu that moves through wood-oven breads, grilled meats, pilaf, and pasta, with duck roasted in molasses and fig sauce as the dish people can't stop talking about. It landed at number 15 on the National Restaurant Awards list.
