5/5 No Harm In T. 1 year ago on Google
What
a
lovely
independent
restaurant
within
walking
distance
from
Drayton
Park
train
station.
Note
that
the
front
door
can
be
a
bit
stiff
but
just
give
it
a
good
push
during
opening
hours
and
it'll
budge.
Upon
entering,
you'll
observe
the
authentic
furnishings
and
the
real
hanging
vines
on
the
walls
-
this
modest
establishment
quickly
reveals
itself
to
be
run
by
a
gentle
yet
multi-talented
lady
who
readily
plays
all
the
roles
of
owner,
manager,
chef
and
waitress.
Seating
can
accomodate
at
least
30
people
but
rather
unexpectedly,
the
place
was
empty
at
prime
dining
time
on
a
Friday
evening
-
usually
this
is
a
red
flag,
but
as
you'll
discover,
it's
completely
undeserved.
It
was
great
for
my
dining
partner
and
I
as
we
received
a
very
personalised
service!
There's
also
no
music
playing
which
is
refreshingly
peaceful
and
allowed
us
to
have
a
conversation.
Onto
the
food:
if
you're
not
familiar
with
Eritrean
cuisine
but
you
are
with
Indian,
you'll
feel
right
at
home
here.
We
indulged
in
the
course
for
two
which
includes
three
mains
and
either
pitta
bread,
injera
or
basmati
rice.
For
our
mains,
we
opted
for
atter
(chickpeas),
bamya
(okra)
and
ades
(a
spicy
daal-like
lentil
dish)
-
the
portion
sizes
of
which
were
slightly
on
the
smaller
side,
but
all
tasty
and
rather
more-ish
-
rest
assured
you'll
be
mopping
the
plate
clean.
These
were
accompanied
by
a
sourdough
injera
which
was
plentiful
compared
to
the
mains,
and
had
a
satisfying
sour
tang
to
them.
We
also
ordered
a
brownie
for
dessert
and
a
couple
of
drinks
between
us,
yet
somehow
altogether
the
bill
worked
out
to
less
than
£20
per
person
-
a
very
decent
price
for
London!
Give
this
restaurant
some
love
if
you're
looking
for
a
cuisine
and
dining
experience
off
the
beaten
trail.
Recommended!
