They have so many great menu choices and a selection for every diet! They also serve it under an Ethiopian traditional dinnerware called Messob! !

We got the doro and gomen which was my favorite because it was packed with flavor and the chicken was tender, the lamb tibs, and the shiro wet. All of it was good and kept me wanting for more at the end. We are the very last bit of injera just to soak up the flavors left on the plate. So yummy!

After a hot-long-day of playing tourist in London, we decided to eat Ethiopian food per my…read morebrother-in-laws request . Not knowing where to go, we asked our friend "Yelp" to recommended a highly rated place...so we ended up at Mosob. The restaurant is decorated with artifacts from Ethiopia. It has two rooms, one with a regular dinner table and another room with traditional table (shorter table almost close to the ground) if you want the full experience. They serve different sets of trays, with choice of meat (lamb, beef or chicken) and vegetables. Each sets comes with 2 sets of rolls and 2 types of dips for the rolls. The trays are served on different sizes depending on your group size. Some of our orders came with their house salad with really good dressing, but I'm not sure if it came with the tray. If you want your food spicy, you have options to include that with your food. I also ordered their St. Michael's beer and it was a refreshing and perfect pair for my dinner. The service in this restaurant is amazing! The owner, Ben, gave us the introduction of what kind of food they serve. He was such an excellent host and that made our experience extra special. He showed the kids how to write their names in his Eritrean language and asked the kids to draw something for him so he can put it on his wall. That definitely entertained them while waiting for our food. I'm extra thankful of him for being quick on his feet when my daughter had an accident, hitting her head, while we were eating our dinner. If I'm going back to London, I'll make sure to stop by in this restaurant. Great food, good host= great experience.

So, I think I must've had an off experience tonight at Andu Café…read more First of all, my partner and I went earlier when they opened & she told us to come back, because they were waiting on supplies to arrive. Sure, no problem! We decided to walk back over for dinner & we were directed on where to sit & asked what we wanted to order. So, we told her what we had in mind from earlier. She returned within a few minutes with our platter for 2 & told us drinks are self-service. We started to eat and the food was good. I don't really have any complaints there. To me, the spices are very similar tasting to soul food, but just a healthy version of what soul food is. More than halfway through our meal, we were told they're a cash only establishment. This sent us into a little panic, because we weren't informed of this information before being served food. All we had on us was tap to pay, so of course imagine the predicament we were in when uninformed. We definitely wouldn't have stayed to eat had we known this information. We ended up having to get back to where we are staying to grab a debit card to go to an ATM and return again. I think just the misinformation for us, not so friendly service, and having to run around town to go grab cash is what put this right down the middle for me. Yes, the food was good... but, the experience felt a bit tarnished for me. Don't let it deter you from going to enjoy this spot... just BRING CASH. Save yourself the trouble.

Andu Cafe is amongst the best and the fact that all dishes are not just vegetarian but vegan is an added bonus! I used to live in East London a very long time ago but now only visit once or twice a month. This part of London is changing dramatically and Kingsland Road isn't spared from gentrification. Andu Cafe feels as if it has been here forever and reminds me of the old days ... ironically it is relatively new but blends in well with the multicultural vibe. The food is simple and the menu even simpler. You are encouraged to share a sampler consisting of six delicious vegetable dishes. The only decision you have to make is whether you would like these served with rice or injera, the traditional Ethiopian bread. I think they are BYO which makes me love the place even more as you often end up spending more on booze than on the food it is accompanying.

Warming both in temperature and in their rich taste, each went down beautifully on the injera (flat bread) they came with. The injera itself was also a treat with a lovely big portion to ensure you end up at 11pm a few hours later still full. My only negative comment which may be blasphemous for all I know was that I found the injera a touch too sour but it's a minor comment if anything. One last thing is to recommend the Ethiopian herbal tea which complemented the meal wonderfully.

I got the zimamajut (homemade cheese with goman kifto (diced, spiced greens) and my husband got the laga tibs with rice. Mine was presented beautifully with lots of injera rolls. I think my husband was surprised his lamb was diced so finely and mixed with the rice as he expected a small bowl of meat. Mine was definitely the tastier option; a bit spicy but more bursting with flavour. Well-done and a good-sized portion with the Injera. For £7.50 it's a steal. My husband praised the Ethiopian coffee as well as strong and not bitter. I would definitely return here again with the huge menu including loads of veg options. We've missed solid Ethiopian food and this hit the spot!

Alright alright, I was so excited to get some Ethiopian food....but there was a bit of a situation…read morehere. When we walked in....this dog lover seen a dog an was excited so I didn't realize the smell that the other two people I was with notice right away. It was a strange smell....that I can't put my nail on. After the dog lover excitement wore off I definitely smelt it. Fast forward we were not able to sit in as the owner stated she was going to close in an hour and 30 minutes and you could only do take away at that time. Was not happy about that but just went along with it. Placed out orders for a veggie platter and made sure the injera was gluten free. Walked next door to take a look while she was preparing our food for take away. Came back and the food was packed and ready. Oh and just a heads up they do take card and cash. If you have a US card her machine does take it even if she states she doesn't think it will. I did it and she was shocked lol. Food is packed and we leave. After getting back to our rooms and opening the food...that smell I was speaking about in the beginning we can all smell again. It was a unbearable smell that made it extremely difficult to eat the food. I was able to eat the injera and it really smelled and taste (maybe in my head) like the smell. I ate the veggies and even though it had a slight smell I was able to complete that but the injera was a BIG NO! All in all we could not figure out the smell. The owner was a sweet lady, but I wished she wouldn't have told us to take away as it took away from the experience. I wish I was able to give 5 stars like most folks...but I have to be honest with my experience.

Kokeb is the perfect example of a spot I would have never found without Yelp! Lost in the middle of an unknown neighbourhood (at least to me), Kokeb's street isn't precisely the busiest when it comes to restaurants. 18 amazing reviews and great Yelper pictures convinced me...and oh my this was a great lunch. I wanted to go for the lamb but Genetesh advised me to pick the N°21, "Spicy" beef with 1 injera and a local ethiopian beer to get it all down...perfect combo. Kokeb is all-in-one. Excellent ethiopian food comes together with the local decor & music...and Genetesh is there help you feel welcome, relaxed, at home...she'll also help you out if this is your first ethiopian experience (bye bye fork, hello right hand). A family run business with great taste & heart, and I love that.
