Interesting experience. Not often you eat with your bare hands nowadays. We ordered meaty sharing plater. Food was really good, but they home made Honey wine was a real MVP of that night. Sweet and sour flavour combined with strong aroma. Looks like they where accepting only cash in past, but now they are accepting cards so there was no need to look for ATM. That was a pleasant surprise.

I never had Ethiopian food, so I can't really compare it.

But it was delicious and nothing like anything I ever had. The staff is the friendliest I've seen in London and she even shared bread with us that she made for her friends/familiy. The portions were big enough that we ate the rest for breakfast.

You will eat with your hands, using the pancake-like stuff to grab the food :D

If you come here you should try the honey wine/drink.

Great food!! Have been here several times, and I love it. I usually meet a vegan friend, and he always has plenty of options, too. It's all bring your own booze, there's a handy news agent's across really close with a good selection of beers.

Wonderful, welcoming, delicious Ethiopian food.

Fantastic vegan and gluten free options, but also tasty meat dishes.

Service is slow because the food is made freshly for you but this is real food, with real flavours.

Communal eating, a place to go for a very sensory food experience.

The dishes are served on large plates on and with injera bread made from teff flour. This bread has a slightly sour flavour, and is delicious. As with South Asian food, you tear a piece of bread and use it to scoop up some of the dish. There is no cutlery and there are no individual plates.

If you like strong drink, try the fermented honey drink. It's home made and good!

The cafe is cash only and there is a free cash point across the road.

The owner/cook is a very welcoming and friendly person and will make you feel like a guest in her home rather than a customer.

Delicious food, some of the tastiest Ethiopian food I’ve had in London. I had the Awaze Tibs. Really buttery & yummy. I tried the Tej (honey wine) which was fermented and authentic too. Friendly service with a home cooked, welcoming feel.

It was the first time that my friends and I tried Ethiopian cuisine. In general it was nice, but all of us thought the sourdough bread (injera) was too sour.

I had Kitfo (marinated rare beef+ sourdough bread). The meat was actually nice, but I could not finish the sourdough bread ????

A delicious and family atmosphere. I've tried ethiopian before and this was the tastier one so far. The ladies who served the food didn't spare any energy to share with us their culture and their heritage. We ended up talking and sharing like a group of old friends. I absolutely recommend it to anyone!

Nice variety of Vegetarian options. Loved the service. Had a different experience.
