The yellow split lentils and Shiro stand out, though one diner found the beetroot lacking freshness and the potato and carrot dish bland. Staff are consistently called warm and welcoming.

“Great food, great vibe. Everything tastes fresh and authentic, especially the combo platter with soft injera and flavorful stews. Cozy atmosphere and welcoming staff. Definitely coming back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Generous portions and friendly service. I got the 50/50 which was great value to try a couple of dishes and our table shared hummus and samosas. The waiter was friendly and helpful with the suggestions he made. Couldn’t fault anything, we left super full and content. Will definitely be coming back to this gem!”
- Jonathan
“The waiter/owner was very kind and generous. We were given treats and samosas to try "on the house". We ordered a vegan platter for two, which was only £20! Most dishes were good, especially the yellow split lentils and the Shiro. However, the beetroot didn't feel as fresh and vibrant as it could have been, and the potatoes and carrot dish was a bit bland. Overall, considering the amount of food, the price and the hospitable service, it deserves a 5-star rating.”
- Marty Cleary

“Dropped in here at 9pm on a Saturday night and had the meat platter set - delicious food, good service and generous servings - we took some home with us! Would definitely revisit.”
