Great Ethiopian/Eritrean with vegan options - Edit
All vegan options are clearly marked. Several to choose from. We had the vegan injera for 3, very tasty selection of curries and sauces, generous amounts that nearly defeated us! Will be back to try some off the other vegan dishes.

Great first experience - Edit
Great first experience of Ethiopian food. I had a mix of curries on injera which was delicious, could barely walk after all that food! The ful was incredible and the popcorn coffee ceremony was a great way to end the meal. Surprisingly cheap for the amount of food you get and staff were so friendly and accommodating. Vegan and vegy options were great. Would highly recommend to any cuisine adventurers or Ethiopian/Eritrean fans!

*Finger Food* yup, hands on - Edit
It's an interesting experience - you get a lot of injera (spongy bread) to pick up your food with.
Read moreSo, like chopsticks it's not for everyone.
Food tasty, not as spicy as Indian, maybe comparable with Lebanese.
They'll get more repeat business if they have cutlery......but then why? Sandwiches, burgers, pizza are all finger food too. Every table has a box of tissues to keep cleaning your fingers.

Soak up the rays - Edit
We've been a couple of times and love it here, the vegan platter for two more than fills us and we're quite greedy. If you haven't experienced Ethiopian food and how to eat it the staff will show you, they are very friendly and welcoming. My coffee loving OH goes into raptures over the coffee and the ceremony. Very cheap, the platter and a couple of soft drinks comes in under 30 quid, a real rarity. It's on our Regulars list now, especially after a swim when we're starving.
Read morePros: Very cheap, They know what Vegan is, Injeera bread

Delicious food - Edit
My friend and I shared the Beyanetu which was a mixed platter of bread, fried spinach, several lentil dishes, curried onions, and rice. This dish was large enough to be shared between two - wouldn’t recommend having one to yourself as you get so much food! Was absolutely delicious and I wish I could eat it again 🤤🤤
Read morePros: The Coffee Ceremony, Plenty of vegan options, Very reasonable price
Cons: None
