Oct 2017 sign said Bucuresti (East European food) but it seems to have hardly opened here at all.
The new El Houma North African deli opened here at the end of 2016. They told me that 'El Houma' means the 'home', ie local corner shop. Their stated speciality is a delicious type of spicy sausage to be served with harissa. They painted the woodwork red and black, and have retained the original leaded lights in the window.
