We came in a little late but they were more than happy to make a meal for us! We ended up getting a vegetarian sharing platter that was absolutely delicious, and had it with the spiced tea and honey wine. Best meal I've had out in a while.
So glad to be able to give this 5, it's everything I was hoping for and more. Super relaxed atmosphere with beautiful fitting music. Helpful staff doing their best to be accommodating. Food, I think was authentic and just fantastic, some spicy dishes some not. If you are not familiar with Ethiopian food, be prepared to share. Meat dishes will often contain bones but it is so well cooked the meat will just fall off. But what I always love is you can really eat a lot and feel full, but not uncomfortable and bloated. Absolutely try the Asmara beer! Cash only.
I live outside of the U.K. most of the and I miss this place more than my parents. Gods honesty, the greatest food in the city, if not the country. Me and partner have been coming here for 5 years and will always continue to do so.
Gorgeous food, perfect presentation (I forgot to get a photo before tucking in!), great vegan options. The restaurant was very quiet when we were there, it deserves to be full at all times!
AMAZING FOOD! So flavoursome! Service was great. Staff were amazing too! We had the mixed meat meal which had different curries and a salad, with a pancake bread to dip. Incredible!! Couldn't recommend enough. Best food I have had in a long time!!!!
Great experience trying Ethiopian cuisine. Works best if you order sharing platters with a larger group. Would definitely recommend both veg and meat options. We used our hands to eat. Staff was helpful and made us feel at home.
SO GOOD. I usually eat meat options but had veggie shared plate with a vegetarian friend and it was 10/10. Im so pleased because I'd been craving Ethiopian food a while and this did not disappoint.
Love these guys. This place has been so reliable since they opened, a few years back now. Ethiopian food is uniquely delicious and they do it very well. Pretty relaxed, informal atmosphere with good, friendly service.
