Food Quality and Taste
Pros:
"The bread is very original and the dips/salsas they gave on the side had real heat."
"I loved the variety of flavours, from red lentils, spinach, or mashed potatoes to reddish, with mild and stronger spices."
"The Ethiopian platter here with great injera bread and lovely stews and tasty bits all over it."
"As an Ethiopian I'm proud and happy to recommend this place."
"The injera is darker than normal and has a bit of a lime taste in addition to the typical sour injera flavour."
Cons:
"The food wasn’t hot, one or two dishes were missing in the platter."
"Starters looked similar to main platter so they could improve on that."
"Had dinner last night and did not like the flavours much... everything tasted pretty much the same."
"Unfortunately, we had a very poor experience. The staff were rude."

"Service a bit slow, but the nice food made it definitely worth a visit."
"Service was very quick, and staff were lovely."
"The small staff is efficient and pleasant."
"The women who work there is sooo nice very friendly."
Cons:
"Service was horrible, we been waiting for ages to be seated by the host."
"The service was slow and lazy."
"The second time I opted for a take out. Food was nice and a regular portion will suffice for one person."

Ambience and Atmosphere
Pros:
"The interior and furnishings are beautiful!"
"It is Cosy, welcoming and clutter free."
"The atmosphere is warm and inviting, it’s the perfect place whether you’re stopping off for a bit to eat or getting together with friends."
"Beautifully decorated restaurant."
"The place is super cozy without too many tables so booking is suggested."
Cons:
"The restaurant lacks atmosphere so it doesn't get full marks from me."
"It’s pretty cold inside, when I’ve ordered tea to warm up it arrived 25 min later with the meal."
"The restaurant wasn't full but considering Saturday evening, one person serving didn't seem enough."
"The general impression given was that we simply weren't worth the time and energy for attentive service."
Price and Value
Pros:
"Good price deal (£30 for an Injera platter for 2 people, £3.50 for a Coke and £5 for a beer)."
"The portion was just right for 2 people (we went with the set vegan menu for 2 people)."
"Reasonably priced food. The portion size was very generous."
"Single platter at £16, discounts for more people sharing the whole selection."
"Absolutely stellar: top-drawer, perfectly traditional (vegan!) Ethiopian food; bottomless pitchers of water stuffed with cucumber and lemon."
Cons:
"This used to be my favourite Ethiopian restaurant in the whole of London. But recently they have increased their prices."
"If you’re planning your meal for a weekend night be prepared for the options to be limited as they might run out of some things displayed on the menu."
"The prices are nowhere to be found in this venue - you need to ask the staff."
"Deliveroo service. Ordered in the sauces were tiny pots. And it came with NO INJERA!!!"
