Andu Caffe

Really lovely little place. We rang up prior to calling in as we were due to arrive only 15 minutes before they closed and they were very welcoming and said it would be no problem. The food was delicious and left you feeling really good inside afterwards. Quick service and friendly staff. Inexpensive and great value for money. We will definitely be coming here again when we visit London!

Yes! I would recommend this place 100%. Atmospheric and tasty.

You can get in and out in less than 30 minutes, the food is very nice and filling and it couldn't be cheaper!

Absolutely delicious
Amazing food
So healthy
And ran and cooked by the loveliest people ! Authentic Ethiopian dishes, fermented injira (gluten free sourdogh make from
Red) and all vegan! My favourite place in this area, visit every time I'm here. Thanks Andu!

I was excited to try this vegan spot after reading the reviews. As expected, it was a cosy little place with tasty Ethiopian food. We got the shared plate for 2, which includes lentil, split peas, spinach, bean, potato and cabbage dishes. Service was quick and staff were friendly... but we found the portion size to be quite small. We ended up grabbing something to eat after, as we were still hungry. So I do recommend this place, it was a nice experience, but on this occasion it was not enough food for 2 hungry vegans.

The shared meal is super cheap & very tasty. Tea was also nice. Very chill atmosphere, would recommend!

Delicious Ethiopian food. Cannot recommend enough. Super friendly, chilled and peaceful.

100% vegan and very delicious, authentic Ethiopian good. Great for a cheap lunch - £6!

Very happy to find this basic, friendly, healthy good value place, perfect for a 100% Vegan dinner before going to the Arcola Theatre 3mins away. Really enjoyed the warm welcome, will definitely be back. I've uploaded the menu pic, it's just that plus a choice of Ethiopian Beer and coffee; black chai/masala tea, lemon & Ginger tea, & cans of fizzy pop. Opening hours were very wrong on here, hopefully will soon be updated to 1-10pm every day. Also enjoyed the music. We had the platter to share one with rice one with the Injera bread (Teff flour pancake); saw someone else get theirs served all dishes *on* the Injera which I prefer and will do next time. I don't know if it's the best as someone said, ages since I've been to other Ethiopian in London, but really enjoyed & highly recommend :)

I have a very big soft spot for this restaurant. Living just a couple of doors down from Andu Caffe is a dream. The takeaway costs 5 pounds, and oftentimes, the portion is too big to finish. Andu is super friendly and cares a lot about health. He really takes pride in his cuisine and you'll be able to tell after one bite. The vibe is very 'local' and 'hole-in-the-wall', and it's perfect for large groups, as you can all share a massive platter of vegan dishes. If you're in Dalston, waiting for a show to start at Cafe Oto, Powerlunches or Passing Clouds, come down to Andu's Cafe - you won't regret it!

The food I had all tasted delicious and was served quickly. When I had finished the lady working offered me seconds! I take into consideration the food hygiene comment below but I don't think it is something that should put you off this place at all! Definitely recommend!

I was really pleased to find this place but while I waited for my take-away order, I noticed the state of the food containers (where they keep the food they then serve) and got worried about whether the food was safe to eat. When I looked up their food hygiene rating it was listed as just 1 out of 5.

I came to order a take-away on my way to Arcola Theatre, but you can also eat in. All dishes are vegan and delicious, portions are big and prices reasonable. The lade behind the counter was nice and helpful.

Dalston is the epicentre of hipster dome and so avoidable if possible but this little cafe is a delightful oasis of no thrills, no-nonsense, no hipsters basic old school Hackney culture. There is not a vast choice but as for the vegan platter to share amongst however many you are and you'll get interestingly shaped dishes with at least four different servings to eat with your Injera - soda bread pancake thing ! Tis good.
