I loved the vegan platter here! They were even able to modify it for me to be their most mild offerings for vegans (I’m pretty sensitive to hot/spicy dishes, Of which a lot of Ethiopian is!) I was very thankful they were also open early on Boxing Day, when I arrived after a long day of travel. Very friendly service too. I’ll definitely be back during my trip as I’m staying nearby!
Really great Eritrean food in a cozy atmosphere. I came here for lunch with a friend after climbing. For starters we shared hummus which was delicious. For main’s I had the mixed meat platter and he had a sizzling chicken dish. Both were very tasty. The spiced tea was nice too. Service was good, the lady was very kind & polite. Will definitely return.
Food was not authentic- not true Ethiopian/Eritrean food, was showing my colleagues true foods from such countries but it was very disappointing. The coffee was watery ? The waitress (two working) had an attitude - not professional. I have come here twice now and I will not be returning. better to try elsewhere if you want true authentic food and with better customer service.
We went with a small group of friends to this Brixton institution and are glad we did. Aside from the very helpful and friendly staff and nice setting the variety of feed is great. From the Hoummous and butter-soaked injera (the slightly sour and soft 'pancake') to the seafood platter and Adulis spiced meat (which comes on a charcoal heater) we enjoyed every dish immensely. We definitely recommend this place, it is worth the trip down Brixton Road
