London’s Best East African Restaurants: Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Somali | Eater London
"Green Lanes battles probably only Seven Sisters for the title of the north London version of Old Kent Road. One of the longest roads in the capital, the thoroughfare features another host of global food offerings most dominated by those of Cypriot, Greek and Turkish descent, but Blue Nile marks out its place of proclaimed mixed Ethiopian and Eritrean heritage. The special reservations here are on the breakfast menu, not seen at many other east African restaurants. Foul (or Fuul) medames is a favourite morning starter across north and east Africa as well the middle east, a mash of fava beans, greens, and herbs. Kitcha fitfit shredded flatbread in berbere spice and tesmi clarified butter alongside the self-described “super-juicy eggs” with onions and tomatoes will get anyone’s stomach prepped for the rest of the day." - Riaz Phillips
