Ordering Strategy

There is no menu anxiety here because there is no menu. You sit down, they bring you the vegan sampler platter (usually £12-£15 for two people). Bring your own wine or beer from the off-licence nearby.

What to order

Safe first

The Sampler Platter

It is essentially the only item on the menu—a six-dish feast of stews and greens served on sour, spongy injera.

Hungry

Misir Wot

The spicy red lentil stew component of the platter is rich, garlic-heavy, and the most comforting element of the mix.

Wildcard

Shiro Wot

A dip-like stew made with chickpeas, tomato, and ginger that demands to be mopped up with extra bread.

What to skip

Skip
RiceYou have the option of rice or injera—always choose full injera to soak up the sauces properly.

Good to know

It is strictly BYOB and 100% vegan. While some sources suggest they now take cards, it has historically been a cash-only establishment, so bring cash just in case. There are no desserts.
