Absolutely my favourite Ethiopian food in London. The food is delicious, Berhanu is very knowledgeable on the spices and has great cooks. The ingera is made fresh on the premises and is delicious.The cafe serves the surrounding Ethiopian community and is very busy.If you haven’t tasted Ethiopian food – this is theplace to tryUnlicensed so if you want alcohol take your own!
Amazing hope in the wall that must be discovered! Probably the best Ethiopian food I’ve had so far in London set in a low key casual cafe. Extremely reasonably priced and lovely staff. A homey environment with excellent food- it’s a must!
I love Ethiopian food – I crave the slightly sour tasting enjera (flat fermented bread) that’s used to scoop up the delicious selection of vegetarian dishes .That’s why I regularly stop off at my nearest Ethiopian cafe – St Gabriel Cafe in Newington Butts – for my favourite -Ye-Tsom Beya’aynetu – a selection of vegetable dishes – spinach; yellow split pea stew; cabbage, carrots and potato; lentils, garlic, onion, chilli pepper – each cooked with subtly different spices – some hot and tangy, others mellow and buttery – with a side dish of tomato, onion and zingy green chilli salad. Portions are large, enough for 2 – especially if you ask for an extra enjera – and very reasonable priced at 8.00.They do meat dishes as well, which I haven’t tried, but I will be trying the Special Foul – which is on the breakfast menu at 6.50 – mashed broad beans with Ethiopian butter/ olive oil/ green chilli/ shallot/ tomato/ spicy herbs served with French bread as that sounds like it’d set you up for the day.This is a low key little cafe, offering excellent and reasonably priced home cooked food, managed by the very friendly Berhanu who let me taste some fresh, light, curd-y Ethiopian cheese while waiting for my order, which is served with minced beef or spinach and spices. Berhanu says he is happy to lay on a coffee ceremony – with incense and roasting beans if you like – just ring beforehand to ask.If you want reasonably priced, authentic and delicious Ethiopian home cooking to eat in or takeaway, this is a great place to try.
