Wolkite Restaurant offers a cozy spot for authentic Ethiopian dishes served with a side of warm hospitality and an atmosphere filled with vibrant African flair.
"Wolkite’s goden tibs—sizzling lamb ribs with crisply rendered fat—are superb. Especially with a few spoonfuls of spicy awaze sauce and a cold bottle of St. George lager. This Ethiopian restaurant in Holloway is where you go for generous baskets of injera, kitfo, and plenty of vegetarian options, too. A word of warning to anyone averse to Arsenal—Wolkite is moments from the stadium." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"Wolkite’s godin tibs—sizzling lamb ribs with crisply rendered fat—is superb. Especially with a few spoonfuls of spicy awaze sauce and a cold bottle of St. George lager. In fact, it’s this combination that has got us through a few years of paying to enjoy distinctly less fantastic stuff at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium that’s a hop and a skip away from Wolkite. The Ethiopian restaurant is a true Great Little Place, tucked away on Hornsey Road, making generous and delicious food that insists on big groups tearing at its injera with reckless abandon.

"There are few bigger groups than the 60,000-odd people who walk past Wolkite, towards Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium, and, quite frankly, we’re wary of this superb Ethiopian restaurant being too full for us to get in one day. It’s slightly hidden on Hornsey Road, but those who know, know. Wolkite’s godin tibs—sizzling lamb ribs with crisply rendered fat—are superb. Especially with a few spoonfuls of spicy awaze sauce and a cold bottle of St. George lager. Combined with generous baskets of injera, it’s a restaurant that insists on big groups sitting down and getting stuck in." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
"This Ethiopian spot is part of a low-profile parade next to the Emirates Stadium that’s easy to stroll past, but this is a north London restaurant everyone should be seeking out. Wolkite specialises in kitfo, an Ethiopian dish of raw minced beef mixed with warm spiced butter and seasoned with mitmita (chilli powder). It’s a complete joy to scoop with injera, stuff in your mouth, and pay a tenner for." - Team Infatuation
"Two minutes from the Emirates is Wolkite—a wonderful, low-key Ethiopian spot ideal for lunch or dinner. It specialises in kitfo, a dish of raw minced beef mixed with warm spiced butter and seasoned with mitmita (chilli powder) that’s best paired with an ice-cold bottle of crispy St. George lager." - jake missing
