👍👍 I've tried many Ethiopian places in the area and this is by far the best I've had.. I now order nearly once a week from here and it never disappoints. The injera is the best I've had, so fluffy. We always go for the vegan special with some shiro wot- really good portion size. It's just so tasty, one... People often mention Ethiopian, good, nice, injera, service,

    This was the first time I was having Ethiopian food. O my my it was delicious 🤤. I really enjoyed the food. Waiting time was too long. Like 40 minutes but the food was really good👌🏽. I was in that area wanted to try something then I went to this place and ordered food. They told us it’s going to take long so I went around do some shopping for home and went back to the restaurant. That’s why the waiting time didn’t bother me much. Maybe you can call the restaurant before you go. Staff was very nice and friendly. Highly recommended. 👍🏽

    Delicious home made food, cosy local place and a very reasonable price. By far the best injera and coffee in town *hands up* 🙌🏽 and a fantastic service. Definitely recommend it! P.s the new young manager/Barrister is very attractive (partly why I keep going back).

    Very welcoming service, shame the place is too far for me to get to, but I love ordering their food. It's remarkably authentic and bursting with flavour, truly reminiscent of Ethiopian cuisine - a distinction from some other Ethiopian restaurants in London. Massive fan of their shiro wot. In fact, all the vegan meals with chickpeas, lentils and split peas are 10/10! And their injera is also divine. Thank you for making my fussy tummy happy! (;

    Friendly staff, nice food and lovely space. Just to let you know that they serve halal meat, and their food is as fresh as you can get. In addition, they have the bolt external charger that you can rent.

    Seriously delicious food! The vegetarian combo and, salad and the spicy beef Awaze are amazing. You can tell everything is fresh and made to order. In this light, the wait is a bit lengthy for the food to be prepared, but it is completely worth it! The dining area is basic and quite loud with regulars carrying on enjoying their conversations. However, it is exactly this atmosphere that really makes it feel like mum’s kitchen! My first visit here was just 4 days ago and I’ve already been back another time. Don’t hesitate to try this place. It really is a hidden gem!

    Service was great and friendly, but the various stews served had a lot of gristle left in them, and the ambience was dominated by a really loud TV. Otherwise, really good lunch.

    Ethiopian food is amazing and the Awaze Tibs from this place is incredible. It's one of the best dishes I ever tried. I order six every time they deliver so I have a supply at home in the freezer! Their Bozana Shiro is also delicious. Both come with fluffy white rice. It is the perfect comfort food. But yeah, the Awaze Tibs. As good as anything you will eat!!!

    I bought 10 injeras from there. They are very efficient. The injera is plate size and good if you are serving multiple single plate. They are also tasty!

    I eat Ethiopian food often and this is the best I have ever tried. The food is absolutely delicious and the injeera is extremely fresh and tasty. The portions are very generous (of stew and injeera). The Ethiopian salad is absolutely yum as well. I order the vegan mix special and it is truly special and super healthy.

    Best Ethiopian in London… just one try and I know this is going to become a regular lunch spot for me. I had their vegan plate with injera.

    Food was decent and service was fine but very crowded with Algerian men that were loud and made it very uncomfortable for us. They wernt even consuming anything, very bizarre atmosphere. Unfortunately not going again.

    I order every week and love it. Spicy food with nice veggie options as well. Big portions which come with loads of injera so v good value for money. Thank you Enat Guada!

    It’s a small local place where you can have delicious Ethiopian food! Not at all expensive, good service and a really nice owner! We really enjoyed our meal! If you’re looking for a nice place to sit, eat or just have a good coffee, this is the place to be!

    Great service, friendly, talked us through the menu. We enjoyed all the dishes, a nice variety. We would go back! Lovely to find Ethiopian Vegan food nearby.
