Shawarma Named World's Best Sandwich, Indian Vada Pav Ranks At...
Popular food and travel guide TasteAtlas has unveiled the 100 best sandwiches in the world, updated as of July 2025. The rankings are based on 16,551 ratings submitted by the TasteAtlas audience. Shawarma, which originates from the Middle East, has been ranked the best sandwich in the world. It is followed by two other popular options - Banh Mi from Vietnam and Tombik Doner from Turkiye - at the second and third spots, respectively. India's Vada Pav also features on the list, ranked 26th globally. Although categorised as a sandwich, shawarma is often seen as a juicy and meaty wrap. This popular street food is filled with thinly sliced, tender meat. It can be made using lamb, turkey, chicken, beef, or a mix of meats, all of which are slow-cooked for hours and basted in their own juices and fat. While Banh Mi takes the second position, Vietnam stands out for having the most entries in the top 10 - a total of three sandwiches. India's Vada Pav has seen a steady rise in popularity and ratings, moving up from the 39th position in the January rankings to 26th in the latest list.

Katy Perry's favourite Australian food spot is revealed: 'So balanced and done superbly'
Katy Perry 's favourite Australian food spot has been revealed - and it just so happens to be on the West Coast. The Roar hitmaker, 40, who is currently on her Lifetimes Tour around Australia, is said to be a big fan of Perth Banh Mi shop Le Vietnam after her hair stylist raved about the haunt on social media. 'I randomly stumbled into @LeVietnamcafe in Perth, and this has got to be the best Banh Mi I've ever had — hands down,' Andrew Ly gushed in a post on Instagram. As for Katy's verdict on the Vietnamese restaurant's Bahn Mi, according to her hair guru, it's 'the best ever she's had, so balanced and done superbly, and she's had many across the globe'. The eatery's owner, DJ Lee, revealed to PerthNow that the popstar's stylist popped into the shop on Friday and enjoyed the meal so much that he came back the next Monday to pick up a mixed platter for Katy and her tour crew. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The Roar hitmaker is said to be a big fan of Perth Banh Mi shop Le Vietnam after her hair stylist raved about the haunt on social media Katy isn't alone in her love of the unassuming Perth spot. Le Vietnam has been visited by many A-list celebrities, including Lizzo and Ed Sheeran. Orlando Bloom joined Katy and their daughter Daisy Dove, five, in Perth on Sunday amid rumours of trouble in their marriage. The actor, 48, was spotted spending time with his little girl Daisy and was joined by members of Katy's entourage, including a man who appeared to be a security guard. Katy, who performed at the Perth RAC Arena that night, did not join the group. Ever the doting dad, Orlando carried Daisy on his shoulders as they took a stroll around the city's CBD. Orlando dressed casually for the outing, wearing a long-sleeve printed top and matching black jeans. He did his best to go incognito by wearing a baseball cap on his head. Orlando's trip Down Under comes after reports that Katy and Orlando are set to have serious conversations about the state of their relationship. From her controversial Blue Origin space flight to her absence from their Montecito, California, home due to her world tour – things have been a bit rough for the longtime couple lately. And while rumours may be circulating about the demise of their nearly decade-long relationship, an insider told The Sun 'no one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando.' 'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets,' a source told the publication. 'But Katy especially doesn't want to just give up,' the source continued. Katy has been in Australia for the entire month of June, with the last performance of her Lifetimes Tour Down Under on June 30 in Adelaide.

Are you a fan of Matcha? I may have found the best café for it in Colchester
Are you a fan of Matcha? I may have found the best café for it in Colchester I'VE never understood the hype around matcha. There, I said it. Every so often, I give it another try — convinced by glowing Instagram posts and gushing recommendations — only to be met with yet another overly bitter, grassy disappointment. But scrolling past yet another story of someone sipping a bright green iced latte on a sunny terrace finally pushed me to make one last attempt. This time, I headed to Ella's Ca Phe House on Sir Isaac's Walk — and I'm glad I did. Ella's ca phe house (Image: Newsquest Reporter) A well-known Vietnamese café and restaurant in the heart of Colchester, Ella's has already earned a loyal following for its coffee — so I figured, if anyone can change my mind about matcha, it's them. ADVERTISEMENT I ordered their Strawberry Matcha Latte (£6.50) and, to my surprise, it was fantastic. Strawberry matcha (Image: Newsquest Reporter) Light, creamy, not overly sweet, and without that overpowering grassy flavour I usually dread. The strawberry and matcha actually complemented each other — a rare feat, in my experience. While sipping on my very first enjoyable matcha, I scanned the menu and decided to try something more: their Pork Banh Mi (£9.50). A traditional Vietnamese sandwich, it arrived crisp, fresh, and absolutely packed with flavour — tender pork, crunchy pickled veg, and a kick of spice nestled in a perfectly baked baguette. Banh mi sandwich (Image: Newsquest Reporter) It was easily one of the best things I've eaten in town this month. The venue itself is just as vibrant as the flavours. The décor is colourful and full of personality, with a warm and welcoming vibe. The staff are lovely — friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they serve. ADVERTISEMENT The gorgeous interiors (Image: Newsquest Reporter) It's no wonder the place is always buzzing. With summer here, I have no doubt Ella's will continue to be a go-to hotspot in Colchester. From refreshing drinks to flavour-packed bites, it's a café that delivers — even for the matcha sceptics among us. So if you, like me, have never been sold on the green stuff, give it one more go at Ella's. You might just be converted.
