"In football, they say that form is temporary and class is permanent. Wolkite, a few steps away from the Emirates Stadium, seems to live by this. We’ve sat in this easy-going restaurant as the only guest, as well as when it’s been spilling out onto the terrace, and the quality of its godin tibs remains absolutely stupendous. These sizzling lamb ribs aren’t the only reason to come here. The kitfo has an irresistible, buttery hum to it and when it comes to under-the-radar restaurants for big-ish groups around Holloway Road, Wolkite should be close to the top of your list." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
"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
"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
"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
"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." - team infatuation
