The Genet Cafe - Review - Tottenham - London - The Infatuation
"The first thing you should know about The Genet Cafe is that it’s cash-only—shoutout to the cash point at the Post Office on Broad Lane that doesn’t charge. The second thing you should know about this laid-back Ethiopian restaurant is that the must-order misir wot is £12. This is satisfying self-care by way of lentils, berbere spice, and a heavy dose of garlic, all hypnotically shovelled from platter to palm to mouth with sublimely tangy rolls of injera. Locals and long-term couples wander into the warm dining room—dotted with woven mesob baskets and clay jebenas—to chat over tender, ginger-fest lega tibes and inevitably squabble over who gets to eat the majority share of the stew-soaked injera at the bottom of the platter. Also, it’s BYOB so pick up a bev on the way if you want something to drink alongside the upbeat soundtrack of Mulatu Astatke songs." - Heidi Lauth Beasley
