Zamzam

London’s Best East African Restaurants: Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Somali - Eater London

"On a road full of east African cafes and hangout spots, Somali restaurant ZamZam’s double floor layout and energetic name sticks out. While some Somali chefs showcase their own version of injera, the breadwinners here are bariis isku karis or isku dhez karis, featuring a flavour-packed one pot concoction of vegetable rice and goat meat. The Italian presence in the region is also shown here, with baasto, a spaghetti pasta also accompanying meats like digaag, a spiced and diced chicken. Don’t be surprised by the banana — it’s a customary accompaniment." - Riaz Phillips
