Ordering Strategy

It is BYOB, so bring your own drinks. The menu is perfect for sharing; order a mix of the Misir Wot and Tibes to share on a large injera platter.

What to order

Safe first

Misir Wot

Described as 'satisfying self-care', this £12 lentil dish cooked with berbere spice and garlic is considered the critic's must-order.

Hungry

Lega Tibes

One of the best versions in London, this dish features tender cubes of beef tossed in a 'heavy-handed' ginger and garlic paste.

Wildcard

Dulet

For the adventurous, this 'wild card' dish of finely chopped tripe, liver, and lean beef is sautéed with spiced butter and mitmita.

Wildcard

Genet Salad

A fresh and 'zingy' recommendation that provides a sharp contrast to the rich, buttery meat and lentil dishes.

Good to know

Cash-only (there is a free cash point at the Post Office nearby). It is BYOB. Some reports suggest there are no restroom facilities on-site.
