The 13 Best Ethiopian Restaurants In London - London - The Infatuation

"The first thing you’ll notice about Blue Nile is that you’re surrounded by people who definitely aren’t on their first visit to this Ethiopian and Eritrean restaurant. On a busy stretch of Seven Sisters Road near Finsbury Park, regulars wander in to wordlessly pick up their go-to order and older gents share family gossip and a steaming combo platter in a quiet back corner. Follow their lead and request the refreshingly gingery alicha kik and tongue-zapping doro wot as part of the meaty injera-loaded platter. When the sun’s out in full force, the little pavement terrace out front turns into its own buzzing scene." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
