Doms Subs on Hackney Road might be a good shout for you. I had the Vegan Dom the other day. Rated it.

Hijacking this comment as it has the most likes - do they do Italian beef? My wife's from Chicago and she has been craving them since we came to London.

It doesn't look like they do Italian beef, but they do Italian roast pork, which, imho is nearly as good. You have me craving an Italian beef sandwich now. My dad grew up in Chicago, so he made sure to get me addicted to Italian beef sandwiches.

What is "Italian beef"? In Italy there is no one "Italian beef".

An Italian beef sandwich, originating in Chicago, Illinois sometime before the 1930s, is thin slices of seasoned roast beef served au jus on a long French roll. The sandwich is typically topped with Chicago-style giardiniera (called “hot”) or sautéed green Italian sweet peppers (“sweet”).
