London’s Best East African Restaurants: Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Somali | Eater London
"An outright Eritrean locale, this Woolwich restaurant takes heed of Italian colonial presence in the country and uses it to its advantage to provide an experience unlike any other. Lunch features a pasta of the day, and from start to finish the menu features a fusion of Italian and Eritrean classics. The Eritrean side showcases kemem tea, infused with cloves, cinnamon, star anise and ginger, warm ful meat stews infused with cardamom and cinnamon and cooked in tesmi, a warm and comforting spiced butter and a delicious homemade sweet cardamom flavoured bread called himbasha. For dinner vegetarian stews like the duba stebhi of pumpkin and beetroot, tumtumo lentils, and various meat stews scooped up with injera will leave no one wanting." - Riaz Phillips
