London’s Best East African Restaurants: Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Somali - Eater London
"In a rapidly changing Brixton that represents food scenes from the entire world, Asmara has now become a local hub, a respite from the creep of gourmet burgers and sourdough pizzas. While natives and the more experienced may opt to individually pick and choose from the elaborate menu, a couple or small group will be floored by the Messob dinners, described by the restaurant as a “royal feast.” Presented in a messob — a large woven straw bowl — the platter comes in two options. The “traditional” features an array of spiced mixed meat and stew, and the vegetarian/vegan messob offers a rainbow-esque selection of greens and pulses." - Riaz Phillips
