"this was my first experience in a vegan matrix menu that was made a quite exciting beginning easy by choosing only for the full combo. the red lenses stood with a good chili heat. the shiro had a generous garlic quotient that was right on my road. they were smaller Veg stations, although on an enormous injera than the selection of sharing in some other restaurants, but still much for two. it is a cozy, informal atmosphere on the terrace, gently perfumed by Ethiopian weihrauch. you don't feel like you're on the cally road (for all his reize)!"

Food is superb, incredibly tasty and cooked at the perfection. We tried the combo 2 and two starters. Completely satisfied and highly recommended.

embedded in a part of london, which seems to change its character (there is a vegan shop further down the street of this restaurant is definitely the short walk that they bring there.

I hadn’t had Ethiopian before so we asked for a recommendation and were not disappointed! Perfect portion size and everything was very tasty and reasonably priced, we would definitely come again

A great little restaurant, serving authentic Ethiopian food and just a short walk along the canal from Kings Place. On a warm summer evening with Mulatu Astatke playing in the background its hard to beat.

great atmosphere, decoration and people, and I appreciated the vegan menu. Eating was in order, although the options we tasted quite similar. friendly and helpful service, and very cheap. it is worth visiting the experience.

Though we were in a rush, Freweini has been extremely accommodating and managed to fast track our order. The restaurant was very clean with a very calm atmosphere. Our food was fresh and absolutely delicious. Overall excellent food and fantastic customer service. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! 10/10

I love this restaurant! I've been coming here for years and it always hits the sign. it has real family vibes, they always make them so welcome and they are happy to explain the menu or recommend dinge. eating is delicious and incredibly affordable. the non- vegans I have taken have also made this non- vegan food available.

Ethiopian cuisine is for people who like to share food. After we have never tried, we have relied on the waitress to guide us through the menu, and we ended with the ordering of the most popular items currries and stuffing on the (lightly acidic) flat brot. it was all very tasteful, tasty and communal, made for a pleasant evening.

Great traditional Ethiopian food and amazing atmosphere. The staff is very nice and the menu is very flexible and affordable. They toast their coffee here, tastes and smells amazing but the best part about this place is the owner, she’s the sweetest and friendliest person I’ve ever met. I had an amazing experience and will definitely return.
