5 Great Things To Eat On Holloway Road - London - The Infatuation

"One of the best things about Holloway Road (of which there are many) is that it caters to all types of people, from those looking for a cheap pint at The Coronet, to Arsenal fans wanting a pre or post-match Neapolitan pizza. For vegans and vegetarians, it’s particularly good, and Keren View should be top of your list. The Eritrean spot has been around for years and after a portion of injera and a choice of dishes with it - we recommend dnish (stewed potato and peppers with chilli) and brsen (stewed brown lentils with kale) for sure - you’ll understand why. Or you can always grab a little sweet something from Cookies & Scream, a great little vegan and gluten-free bakery. Otherwise if you’re willing to turn a corner onto the Seven Sisters Road, then Mao Chow have a spot in Nag’s Head Market." - jake missing

I was a little disappointed as I came in craving okra, however it was not available. The staff there though were really nice and gave great recommendations although red lentil needed a little more flavour. Also wish they had some music playing. The Eritrean tea was stunning

Absolutely lovely experience. Fully vegan, so filling and tasty, yet light and delightfully not greasy or heavy feeling. The injera was amazing and topped up as needed. Tangy but light, similar to dosa /crepes for those that haven't tried before. Highly recommended. Had the hibiscus and lemonades, be warned, these are very tart, not sweet, but sugar was provided. Very good value for money. We had the platter for 3 people, options 1-5 (see the menu). Excellent service too, only one member of staff, but not overly busy, and we werent in a rush. She was so friendly and helpful. Overall, a 5* experience, would certainly visit again - soon!

This is a beautiful unassuming spot with lovely food and incredibly lovely and welcoming service! My first time trying Eritrean food and, though usually not a vegan, the food was incredible! A small but exciting menu with delicious options, the injera was particularly tasty! Felt like proper homemade cooking, obviously made with love! I can’t wait to go back, thank you!

I came here one day randomly almost five years ago. And year after year I just find myself always coming back. It is a vegan Eritrean restaurant ran by a lovely lady from who cooks the food and serves herself. Price is affordable and the service is immaculate. 100% recommend. 201 Holloway Rd, London N7 8DJ

Such a cozy little place! If I could give service 6 stars, I would! The host was so lovely and sweet, I really enjoyed conversing with her. Food was so hearty, and there was plenty of vegan options. The dishes taste incredibly fresh too.

Don't miss this fantastic restaurant in Highbury - an Eritrean vegan place. Family owned and operated, this authentic spot serves up incredible food (including excellent options for sharing) prepared by the lovely owner herself. In a time when it's not always easy to find small restaurants like these serving traditional food, with incredible hospitality and humility, Keren View is an absolute gem!
