Sunday Lunch - Evil Eye Still on the hunt for York's Best Sunday Lunch we finally managed to get the Evil Eye Sunday Lunch after a succession of failed attempts where we were either too late, or they weren't serving them that Sunday. What's on offer? Throughout the week Evil Eye serves up wonderful South East Asian dishes, including my favourite Nasi Goreng in York. On Sundays the kitchen is handed over for a traditional Sunday Roast that come in either "Regular" or "Monster" proportions. I didn't see a menu but there was beef, lamb, pork, chicken, and nut roast options. We ordered a couple of glasses of wine and went for the Regular size beef, I've seen the Monster portions and knew in my hung-over state I'd struggle to finish it. What worked? Everything about this plate screams of a home-cooked hearty roast. The flavours were simple and bold with charred rosemary needles littering the roast potatoes giving a powerful aroma and crunch, a big slab of pink beef dominated the plate alongside a large Yorkshire pudding, and a straightforward mix of vegetables completed a delicious and substantial roast. What didn't work? If you're out looking for top restaurant quality with inspiring flavours or a wow-factor, this isn't it. If you want a decent Sunday Roast that you could cook at home but you can't be bothered with the hassle of the washing up, this is spot on. Also be aware that Evil Eye is primarily a cocktail bar so if you normally like a pint with your roast you'll be stuck with wine, bottled lager, or one of the hundreds of cocktails on the list. I'll recommend the Bloody Mary - it's got a real kick here! Is it York's Best Sunday Lunch? No, but I'd recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat. If you're starving, upgrade to the Monster.
