As an Ethiopia I'm proud and happy to recommend you this place. So far this is the top Ethiopian Vegan cuisine I've ever seen in London. It is Cosy, welcoming and clatter free. The food is delicious the customer service and presentation is top class. give it a try you will never be disappointed.

Really good food and very friendly staff. The bread is very original and watch out the hot sauces. Some of them are really fire in the hole. Only week point is about the desert. Sometimes there is no option for that Beer is ok but tap water is really tasty. I would recommend it for the food and the experience.

Lovely platter to share with lots of variety Friendly staff Nice and cosy atmosphere Several tables booked when we were there, definitely a place the neighbourhood is enjoying! Will come back

Really enjoyed the Ethiopian platter here with great injera bread and lovely stews and tasty bits all over it. The dips / salsas they gave on the side had real heat, even the mild one was so spicy but really tasty. Service a bit slow and the drinks were the only alright, but the nice food made it definitely worth a visit.

It is a busy place and I learnt it the hard way. Take a booking, I went twice without one and they were sold out. The second time I opted for a take out. Food was nice and a regular portion will suffice for one person. The Ijera combo was very nice and filling.

Very good food and interesting spread. It's a unique way of serving all dishes in a large platter. The seating and the ambience is quite unique and traditional. The team at Beza is welcoming and hospitable. They also explain the dishes for newbies trying Ethiopian food. Overall a wonderful experience.

Incredible food, so many flavours and the Injera is such a different flavour to anything I've tasted. Not having to choose your food makes it easy and there's something for everyone on the table.

Delicious!! A pleasant find down the road from us. They only do one option for food, and you decide how many people you share it with. Very tasty, and a great variety. Service was very quick, and staff were lovely. We had the blood orange drink and it was delicious too.

Great service and super yummy food. Lots of wonderful different flavours, textures and colours on top of injera (sour fermented flour bread). High recommended

The food here was delicious with a very generous portion (we didn’t manage to finish it all, but we tried our best). The atmosphere was great too. A lovely spot to come for dinner and a catch up.

Absolutely delicious vegan food and very generous portions, I had it again for lunch the next day.

delicious and full of flavours! we could tell each dish has been well thought out. very rich and umami flavours. very spicy sauces too! would be better if there was a draught beer option but the bottled ethiopian beers were nice. the staff were friendly and informative about the menu, if a little laid back, which was fine because we weren’t in a hurry. would go back!

Top place to eat for Ethiopian food 🥘

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough - it is so cute and food is amazing. Both the outdoor and indoor seating are very cozy. The food is really delicious and the serving size is really good. My friend and I ordered their meal for 2 to share and we were very satisfied with what we got. The customer service is also really good.

Very, very tasty vegan food. I was impressed by the subtle flavours for many of the stews placed on the injera; my husband who is not vegan in particularly loved the red lentils in the middle. I also really liked the mushrooms and the white sauce drizzled on one section. The injera is darker than normal and has a bit of a lime taste in additon to the typical sour injera flavour. It’s quite nice. The plate for two is HUGE and we had leftovers. The interior is industrial + cozy at the same time. Light music playing in the background. The small staff is efficient and pleasant. Would definitely return! At £14 a head, a great bargain for dinner (and lunch leftovers)

Enjoyable and very fun restaurant. Happy meat eaters and vegans alike. Some lovely flavours, served in a unique way. Incredibly good value for a group. The restaurant lacks atmosphere so it doesn't get full marks from me but definitely worth your time if you're to try something different in a way that's very accessible.

I’m not vegan but got attracted by the nice look of the restaurant and the menu. Finally I’ve found a place where I can eat healthy, yummy food! #lentilsarethebest! Make sure you book first as they follow the COVID measures seriously to keep their staff and customers safe! I definitely recommend Beza’s Ethiopian Food and would continue to go back again and again

This hit the nail on the head. As an East African it so lovely to see our food being represented and especially when it's VEGAN!! Such a clever idea in the way you're seated and share the food. The taste combinations and ability to mix and match is also fantastic. We ordered for 3 and it filled 3 with smiles! Each person that walked by us and the restaurant comments on how beautiful it smelt/looked/the vibe the restaurant was giving off. This family run business should be greatly supported because they're truly brought something unique to the dining world. Absolutely loved it. Oh and to top it all off it is so well priced, one of the cheapest meals I've had in London so it's fantastic!

Incredibly delicious! I was quite thrilled about trying Beza since I was curious about the mix of flavours of the ethiopian vegan cuisine, and guys, it does not disappoint a single bit. We went for the Vegan Menu for two with all the available options. It had such an interesting mix of colours and flavours ranging from red lentils, spinach or mashed potatoes to reddish, with mild and stronger spices and also couple of spicy sauces in case you like stronger experiences. Quality-price unbeatable and the service was so friendly and attentive that it just made the whole experience over the top! Definitely a must go!

Great food, very aromatic & unique! Friendly service & adequate portions. A bit pricey but worth it for the quality ingredients. Would definitely recommend for those that are keen on vegetarian options

If I could give this place an extra star I would. Have been here around a year back, was in the area today and paid a visit and was greeted, served a delicious injera platter and coffee with the height of hospitality. Thank you Beza. Highly suggest this gem of not only an venue but an experience.

It is disappointing that the quality of the food does not match the prices charged. It might be a good idea to explore other food options that offer better value for money. I paid 51 pond for this food 🤢

We really enjoyed our visit to Beza, very refreshing food and flavours. I loved the variety of lentils and chutneys they had, it was very interesting. Their Affogato and Ethiopian coffee were also yummy, however the banana bread was very okay and nothing special. The only feedback I’d like to give though is that it would be nice if they had an A la carte menu as well for people who do not wish to eat so much, as the food in their Set menu really is quite heavy and difficult to get through, and they only offer Set menus. Another bizzare observation is that all three of us who visited and had this food at Beza experienced a very upset stomach the next two days. I’m not sure if this is due to the quality of ingredients used and whether they use tinned or fresh lentils. I hope they look into it because they can improve the experience by miles, and I really do like the concept and what they had to offer in general.

Really enjoyed the food with my partner. Staff friendly, decor lovely 😊

Reasonably priced food. It is hard to find vegetarian/vegan food that tastes/looks and smells good. This ticks all those boxes. We went for dinner [between 1900-2000]. The area was much relaxed during that time. The portion size was very generous also you can adjust your spice levels and experiment.

We had a great meal here, very tasty food and we were made to feel very welcome!

We shared a platter of Ethiopian dishes which was tasty and massive. We couldn't finish it all. We sat outside which as nice. The staff were super friendly. Great place to eat at if you want veggie/vegan platter.

Stunning food and service. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! Vegan heaven!

Delicious and authentic Ethiopian food

Absolutely fantastic place where staff are friendly. Great food and drink too.

this place is essential for anyone who is vegan or a fan of plantbased food! the injera is delicious and there wasnt a single thing we tried that we didnt like. my favourites were the red lentils, onions and split peas but honestly everything was stand out. for dessert we also had the carrot cake which was the perfect finish. the price here was great and serving sizes were very impressive. you wont be leave here unsatisfied! i highly recommend!

Amazing food, nice atmosphere and great prices! Loved it

Friendly staff and great food 😋 Highly recommended

I am a massive fan of this restaurant! I was sure Ethiopian food was not for me until a friend made a dinner date plan here with me. The set-up, the food, the sauces! (watch out for the red one) and the owner are brilliant! I would come here once a week if my budget allowed me to! The only time gripe is the servers can be hit (and we’ll above average hit !) or miss. Nonetheless, I strongly recommend! (And challenge you to try the hot sauce!)

Finally visited Beza and wasn't disappointed. 2nd time having Ethiopean food but 1st time for my partner. The portion was just right for 2 people(we went with the set vegan menu for 2 people). I ordered the sorrel tea (good for high blood pressure) and this was served cold. Owner and other member great hosts. Deffo coming back here for my little one 💖💖💖⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👌🏻

Good food and portions are just right, you won't waste anything or leave hungry. Surprised by the fact food was not very spicy, yet tasty. Starters looked similar to main platter so they could improve on that. Single platter at £16, discounts for more people sharing the whole selection. Closed on Sundays

I loved the place. It’s small yet so cozy, clean and full of character Ethiopian restaurant serving authentic dishes. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Great service and most welcoming environment. Definitely recommend.

Typical Ethiopian food served as a sharing platter. There’s only one option so no need to think too much… I’d say I expected a bit more variety and a bit better service but overall food was good and the restaurant is quite nice.

Very nice food and ambience. It is a vegan place. The staff was very welcoming and warm. All the curry and gravy was amazing. The injera however was a little extra sour for my taste buds.

A little gem of a place. Petite, very welcoming, with gracious service. If you are familiar with Ethiopian cuisine you will enjoy the customarily delicious food beautifully presented on a communal platter for sharing. Ideal for close friends and family but probably not ideal for a first date, unless you really want to get the measure of someone!

My partner took us here for a date night and it was an amazing experience- the set menu platter for two came with a colourful, flavourful array of dishes, as well as two sauces. Everything was delicious! We had St George’s beer and banana cake for dessert. The interior and furnishings are beautiful! I’d highly recommend this place to vegans and non-vegans. Thank you ☺️

Incredibly good food, healthy, homemade with care, comfy place to sit down. Highly highly recommended.

I don’t often leave reviews but I just had such a wonderful evening here I would like to share. The food was really amazing. I have had Ethiopian food a few times and this was definitely the tastiest. And above all, the service was incredible - very warm and inviting. I definitely recommend trying this restaurant. Thank you for a fun and relaxed evening.

An absolute gem of a place. Super friendly staff, delicious food, and a cute setting.

Amazing place to go. Recommend everything from menu.

Fantastic food served by lovely people, in a nicely decorated cafe. Definitely worth a visit.

By far the best place to eat on Sayer Street, food cooked with love instead of just made quickly and thrown into a box. So many flavours and Beza helped introduce me to a type of food I never knew I would’ve loved. If you’re ever in the area then I recommend you go to Beza before anywhere else if you’re hungry.

Amazing vegan food. Great variety and value for money.

Absolutely delicious food! Beza has become a firm favourite of mine. Really tasty vegan dishes - not too spicy but full of flavour - great value and as I usually avoid delivery or takeout food because of all the plastic it creates, I was delighted to find that Beza use cardboard containers and carry bags. Very quick and friendly service too - I cannot fault this place - Beza definitely deserves five stars!

Love the decor, atmosphere and the owner who is beza is really sweet and caring. Had an amazing experience. The food is delicious! Thank you so much!

Amazing food, friendly staff. Vegan food that will satisfy even the most devout carnivores.

I went there on a day when it was pouring outside, so when I was greeted by the wonderful Beza, the owner, it was a refreshing change. A beautiful soul and its's a joy to interact with her. The food is vegan, delicious, authentic Ethiopian cuisine and seriously bursting with flavor. I have already ordered a few more times from Beza and will surely be ordering again. And why not? It's tasty, healthy and makes you feel satiated. Absolutely fantastic! and Thank you, Beza, for creating such a wonderful cuisine and restaurant for vegans!

Went back many times this year, good tasting vegan food. Though as they've got busier through Aug/Sep they don't seem to care anymore, almost rude to you for ordering, like it's an inconvenience. Asked the owner if something had changed and she just shrugged disinterestedly. In these times, when all restaurants need customers, and there are so many good restaurant options to choose from, a little care and service, or just a warm smile is so important. Hope they up their game.

I went with my two kids, and the host was excellent. She provided us with all the varieties of food and gave us free drinks! The food was brilliant, and at the end she gave my kids free ice cream, she's great with kids too!!I will recommend everyone to experience her home made food!! My kids want to come back again!!

This place is Fantastic!! I cannot rate this highly enough, the food is delicious, inexpensive and plentiful. Vibrant colours and decor with chilled but attentive service, what more could you ask for? Absolutely must return.

The food is AMAZING! The service is bespoke, suited to your needs...quiet brilliant. Relaxing atmosphere with seats inside and outside. The Ethiopian culture and tradition is expressed visually and through the soft background music. The pricing is very good considering the quality of the food and the location of the area, Elephant Park. And more importantly, the restaurant is very clean with and kept in high standard. So stop licking your lips!...and give it a try!

Plant-based vegan at this restaurant. We were two people and shared an “Eat-In Menu for 2“ and I am really amazed what I have eaten there -even after almost an hour later!- the owner (I believe) and the staff are offering the nicest and friendly atmosphere and filling vegan food! We loved every piece of our dish but since I love the red lentil and its taste, “Misir Wot” was my favourite on the plate.

We went there as it was the nearest place to eat as vegan food. We had combo and whatever we eat in the plate we liked all. Everything was delicious, the vibe was so friendly as they were celebrating the first anniversary of the shop. The owner took care with all the customers or her friends in person. The waitress also was so helpful. I highly recommend this place and definitely will be back.

This was such a lovely experience. The food was so tasty the service exceptional, we were made to feel very welcome. I will be returning; would definitely recommend this restaurant to sample the delicious Ethiopian cuisine.

The most delicious food I've eaten in a long time! Such a wonderful local restaurant. The food has so many rich flavours and the owner is lovely with so much charm. Decor was vibrant and welcoming! Definitely a restaurant to support in this un-fortunate time. I will definitely be back to eat this again 🤤❤️

Absolutely beautiful food Never been on an Ethiopian restaurant before so didn't know what to expect, but the staff explained it graciously, the service is friendly and attentive and everything is sparkling clean. Loved the experience, eating even the plate where all the colourful food is served, the music and the ambient. Food is vegan (I think, at least is definitely vegetarian 😅) and reeeeally tasty and is absolutely affordable for all pockets. Definitely coming back.

Amazing food and I’m not even a vegan, beautiful place and lovely staff 👌🏼

Very friendly and cozy environment, the best Ethiopian food I've ever had! Fresh and tasty, lovely experience. will definitely be back again.

Great food, really generous portions, great service. Would definately recommend

Delicious vegan food, I would definitely come back again! Excellent service*****

The food is AMAZING, so delicious and wonderfully spiced. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, it’s the perfect place whether you’re stopping off for a bit to eat or getting together with friends. A hidden gem in Elephant & Castle

Amazing food , absolutely mouth watering, great super food menu, nice calm atmosphere with knowledgeable staff and excellent service, absolutely loved it 💚💚💚

The ladies cooking here were so friendly and brought over complimentary flavoured water and tea to warm us up. Incredible value for the sharing plate between 3 of us and such good food!!

Delicious, Friendly, Authentic!

I would recommend this place to everyone (vegan or not!) Delicious traditional Ethiopian food, friendly and welcoming staff (felt like I was welcomed into someones home not just at a restaurant) and also very affordable! You won't regret going!

I love Ethiopian food and Beza does not disappoint. This is up there with the best Ethiopian food I have had. The flavors are excellent and there is no skimping on the heat which I appreciate.

Delicious food, eco-friendly packaging for takeaway, generous portions, lovely service, thank you!

Phenomenal scenes at beza, massive portions, amazing, friendly service. Honestly couldn’t recommend it more, the sourness or the injera that cut through and held its own against the hearty savoury flavours of the stews!!

Upon entering I was greeted by the wonderful Beza, the owner. Such a joyful soul and very spirited. Authentic Ethiopian cuisine and a well designed cute space to dine. There are few tables, but this is an experience in itself. The food itself was outstanding and bursting with flavour. Beza’s passion behind the local ingredients and the story she shared about her dishes just defines the reason why this place is one you shouldn’t miss. Book a table!!!

Lovely food

Great vegetarian food. It's a pretty easy choice: you tell them if you have any allergies then they bring you a giant plate of vegan food. You can eat traditionally with your fingers using the bread, or use a knife and fork.

Wow wow wow just a lovely experience with great food served by happy professional and beautiful people. And 100% healthy too. Awesome thank you.

This is a total hidden gem & my first experience of Ethiopian cuisine. It was a fireworks display of flavours in my mouth, absolutely stunning flavours that I could eat again & again! Beza was very warm & friendly & offered her knowledge & was very attentive to our requirements.The restaurant is beautifully decorated in traditional Ethiopian style & has an awesome vibe & is overall a wonderful place to be. 10/10, can't recommend enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I ate here in August with my two friends and the food was absolutely delicious. The portion size of the sharing plate was very generous. Not only was the quality of the food top notch but the service was incredible. Beza gave me a cake for my birthday which was very thoughtful. I loved the interior too, it has a warm and welcoming ambience. Thank you very much Beza! I would definitely recommend coming here, whether you are vegan or not

Enjoyed a beautiful bowl of authentic cuisine. Smashed it !! Great vibe

Absolute gem! The food is fantastic, the place itself is cosy and everyone working there is genuinely nice making you feel welcomed. No doubt i am coming back soon. It is busy for a reason, we were lucky to get a table though i’d suggest making a reservation.

The place is nice, as well as the service. We were really surprised by the menù. Basically we had no choices on what we could order since only one unique main course is available. We checked the menù before to enter the restaurant but this was not clear at all.. indeed, you could also check the other reviews on Google and you will see always the same pictures.. there is no point of having a menu if you do not have the possibility to choose the dish. Regarding the food.. the only main course included about 5 small dishes ( a spoon of spinach, a spoon of onion, etc..) combined all together with a lot of bread.. everything for a very "convenient" price of 19£.. I had the impression that the price was more related to the beauty of the place and to the fact of being a "vegan" restaurant rather than to the food itself.

Nice spot in the renewed elephant and castle. The food was nice but I have had nicer Ethiopian food. The atmosphere was nice but the service was very slow probably because the server was on her own, perhaps short staffed or it’s normally that way but it meant there was a lot of waiting. We spent about £54 for the platter and side of rice and salad. We ordered 3 soft drinks. I tried the sorrel tea which is a nice but bitter tea like an unsweetened sangria. Very impressed by the bathroom offerings of female sanitary products which is a rarity and nice touch and the bathroom was clean. I think it could be even better with more staff and faster service. There is no parking nearby there is only a waiting area allowing 20 minutes so we had to park behind in one of the residential streets.
