A legendary no-frills BYOB spot in Dalston serving just one thing: a massive, affordable vegan tasting platter.
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
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.
Misir Wot
The spicy red lentil stew component of the platter is rich, garlic-heavy, and the most comforting element of the mix.
Shiro Wot
A dip-like stew made with chickpeas, tomato, and ginger that demands to be mopped up with extra bread.

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.
