Great Food - Edit
Came back after a few years and still enjoyed the food, my friend and I didn't manage to finish our medium platter. Only downside is they don't accept cards which seems a bit wild in 2023 in London

Everything is vegan! - Edit
Fast, friendly service and good food. The portion sizes are so generous I can’t imagine anyone having an issue with the price. I will be going back.

Expensive and undercooked - Edit
I had the medium size portion for 1-2 people costin £18 and I was satisfied (no drinks and nothing else), not very full, I can eat more for less money in other places.
Read moreThe lentils were all very undercooked.
Very tasty flavours, the greens were really nice and the rice too.
Pros: Tasty
Cons: Expensive

Very nice cosy place - Edit
A nice place where you can have a quick meal, but feel at ease and enjoy a comfy feeling, the choice on the menue is limited, I actually like that and we ordered the traditional plate. It was very very tasty and we will come back!

Quite nice - but prices rose 25% this year - Edit
Price has risen by 43% since my last review and by 25% in the last year, the portion size has shrunk too, and the proprietor is borderline rude. There is better and cheaper vegan Ethiopian at Spitalfields Market.
Read moreOriginal review: Maybe the fourth time in my life I've had Ethiopian, definitely the best. The injera bread isn't as "bready" as usual, which is a good thing! Good portion size, healthy food, each thing was delicious. £7 eat in. I will definitely return.

Pros: Delicious food, Used to be good value
Cons: Shocking price rises, Cash only: they don't ring the sale into the till, And we wonder why we don't have money for the NHS

Good food but could improve. - Edit
Good meal but there's better Ethiopian food in town (or in Ethiopia, eheh).
Read moreVery generous portion : I took the sampler/small platter for one person with rice.
Parts of it are pretty good, other a bit bland, the rice a bit too salty, but possibly because I'm not used to cook my rice with salt. I presume that the lentils contained some berbere but it was not the best I have eaten.
Very friendly person.
Pros: Good food, Big portion, Friendly staff
Cons: Could improve the taste.

A New Favourite - Edit
I’m new to Ethiopian food. But, I think I’ve come in at the top. This is so tasty. Portions were very generous. Staff were laid back but friendly, and always ready to help. Menu is simple. Went for traditional and didn’t regret a thing. The sample also looks good.

Pricy and service not good - Edit
It was quite expensive for what it is. If you eat in is £10 but if take away is literally half, which for me doesn’t make any sense.
Read moreFelt like the service could improve quite a lot. Don’t offer even water.
And the fact that they don’t accept card payments is quite uncomfortable.

Very good value - Edit
The food never changes, but you know what you’re getting: pretty tasty food, a lot of it, and at a really low price. Service is casual, and the plating basic, but I don’t mind this. This is a great spot to bring your own drinks and eat good value food.

Cheap but not so good this time - Edit
Hate to be a contrarian but failed to see the merits of this otherwise charming place. Brusque service aside, the food was immensely disappointing. The injera was cold. From a no-choice of 3 dipping dishes only the greens were flavourful enough. The mince alternative was non-descript and the loose sauce lacked... identification. Perhaps it was an off day.
Read morePros: Price
Cons: Lacking fresh flavour

Small menu which basically consists of a platter for on or two with injera bread or rice. Well worth the money and perfect place to meet friends and you feel immersed in Ethiopian culture as soon as you step inside. Food was really good with decent portion sizes.

good food, not so good service - Edit
Food was amazing! no question about it. and great value and big portion for what you pay. The only disappointment is the service/server!
Read moreWhen we entered the place and sat we asked for menu and were told since only type dish served, we can order for to people (the sampler) so we didn't bother looking at the menu from the next table. we ordered 1x can of coke which should be around £1. when we asked to pay the server had told us £17 for two people (when it shouldn't have not been more than £12-13 for two people sampler dish plus 1x can of coke so £14 ish as is what I just found out is what my friends paid. It's not even about the £4 more I feel I had paid but I feel cheated by the server trying to pull one on us not giving receipt and telling us the amount to pay with words to whom I gave £20 with the change to keep.
so words of advice. check the menu for the price if there's any price update and ask for a printed receipt.
kennyp353
I understand it's a fixed price per head, £8 each would make your coke a bargain £1. It was £7 when I went several years ago. Not really sure how you can complain at £17 for two in London anyway.
