Adam's Ethiopian Restaurant in Lambeth

We had an amazing experience at Adam's Ethiopian Restaurant. Everything was perfect from start to finish, from the appetizers to the tea. We dined with a family member who is vegetarian, and they absolutely loved it, especially since it was their first time trying Ethiopian cuisine! The variety of vegetarian options was impressive, and the flavors were simply delicious. The staff were warm and attentive, making the experience even better. I highly recommend this restaurant, whether you're a fan of Ethiopian food or trying it for the first time.

Great tasting food and cooked well. I've been to there restaurant and then the food was perfectly cook. So no disappointments on my side.

Excellent food and great service

The food is always very delicious. Thank you to Ben for the special kitfo. The service is impeccable!

Most amazing customer service!! the attention to detail is incredible and it’s a small family run restaurant in which they care impeccably for their customers, thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Personally i wasn’t the biggest fan of injera and i’d say it’s an acquired taste however i enjoyed the non spicy beef and spicy beef sauce thoroughly. I seriously recommend especially for vegan food and if you want to try something new!!

1st time trying Ethiopian food. Lovely food (had a veg and meat platter for2) and hospitality. Full feeling & nicely spiced.

Really good Ethiopian food, and they have Saint George's beer imported from Ethiopia

Great food, best Ethiopian I’ve visited. Clean, modern, friendly, well-priced. Recommended.

Really good food. Lovely service. Would vist again.

This is very much a local restaurant with amazing staff and lots of atmosphere. The food is good hearty fare but not the finest fare I’ve had in this cuisine. The place was empty when we arrived but soon filled up with people looking for the comfort food of home faraway.

OUTSTANDING! Truly delicious, good selection and very generous portions! I didn’t know the combination meal would include injera so needn’t have bought any, but that means there is plenty for tomorrow.

Amazing quality food, especially for the price. Would definitely return.

Thank you Ben for the amazing Awaze Tibs on Uber Eats order. It was an absolute class 🤩😊

Lovely takeout experience, got a 2 person vegetarian and 1 person meat and everything was great. I especially loved the chicken dish

The food was not flavourful at all. Came here on a lunch date a few days ago and ended up getting stomach flu a day later (don’t know if it’s from here but kinda feel that it’s correlated and I’m just getting over it). We had the lega tibs and the Difen-miser-wot. First time trying it and also the last. The service was good but at the end of the day it’s not about the service is it really.

My 1st experience with ethiopian food and I enjoyed! I don't remember a time I was at a restaurant where the good vibes were coming from the other customers as well. The sense of community is top tier

Great value for money. Delicious and authentic food. We had the vegetarian meal plate for two and it would surely have been enough for three.

food is good and the people is good...

What a gem! Incredible value and delicious food. Staff are really friendly and helpful, and if you’ve never tried Ethiopian food you’re in for a treat!

Great meal out with friends! Just order the sharing platter plus the bits you really fancy.

Lovely restaurant with amazing food. Very welcoming atmosphere, staff are very polite & friendly!

Wonderful food and wonderful staff!

Food was tasty enough, but selection was poor - we ordered the meat and veg combo for two, and got three stews (2 small, 1 large) all of which were meat. Really not worth the money.

First time trying Ethiopian food and as we were in Brixton for a gig we thought we’d give it a go. We weren’t disappointed! We went for the mixed sharing platter to try a selection and they were all tasty. I liked the beef dish and the red lentils. The Ethiopian beer was worth a try as well. If we are in the area again we will definitely give it a go again!

The food wasn't flavourful. I've had Ethiopian food many times and was disappointed with the taste. It was my first time having katenga which was a very nice. Staff were friendly.

Best Ethiopian restaurant. Nice food good service.

This restaurant is good! The food is authentic! and the service was good! The ladies were super warm and friendly. First time trying Ethiopian food and pleased

Adam's is very affordable and the food is amazing. The shiro wot and the chicken are so tasty, definitely worth it.

A really nice and homely Ethiopian restaurant in Brixton, London. It was my first time of trying Ethiopian cuisine and I wasn't disappointed at all. The attendant was so friendly and chatty. He gave me injera and rice as a side dish because I have not had injera before and he wasn't sure whether I would take to it. It is clearly a family-owned and I loved every bit of it. Definitely returning to try something else on the menu when next I am in London. Did I say that the food was delicious too 😋

Lovely food and wonderfully generous with the injera!

Thank you, lovely food, staff and restaurant. See you soon.

I really liked this place. I'd been wanting to try Ethiopian food for a while and looking at recommendations, this place seemed highly recommended. It was really good and I enjoyed it. We were there very early so it was quiet, but it seemed like a good place

Amazing food, friendly staff and really quick service ! Thanks

I have been to several Ethiopian/Eritrean restraints in London, but I never had such a fresh and tasty food. I am originally from Ethiopia and I know the real test of our dishes! We ordered Meat and Veg combo and it was testy and fresh except the Doro Wet. Doro Wet is not easy to cook to get the right taste!!! I highly recommend to any one who wants to try the real Ethiopian dish. Thank you guys for the hard work and honesty to provide the right Ethiopian dish. well done!!!

This restaurant never disappoints. Delicious food and the platters are the best thing to order as you get a taste of loads of different dishes!

A great experience - phenomenal food, nice portion sizes, great value for money and excellent service :)

I didn’t think that food could affect your emotions but here it did and it’s remarkable that after all these years I can have these feelings about food. No word of a lie, I had a another food organism ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ five stars from me…

Most delicious food, and lovely friendly people running the place. Generous portions too, we tried to eat everything as was sooo good, we had to take doggy bag home and enjoy it the next day as home :) Very popular place, good crowd eating there.

Really lovely authentic Ethiopian food. Very glad we went. Very generous portions, too!

It was our first experience eating at an Ethiopian Restaurant. We managed to walk in and grab the last table on a Saturday prime time. Thanks to having read the previous reviews, we were patient as they do take their time to prepare their food but it was well worth it. We also did not over order as the injera will fill you up and we only had one meat combination for one (for 2 of us), side salad (a little difficult to eat with hand or even with the injera) and the samosa. Really happy to have tried. The spices are different from typical Indian and it felt less greasy than typical Indian. Highly recommend and we will go back with a bigger group to sample more dishes. House wine was absolutely fine.

Food was plenty and very tasty and the staff is friendly and attentive

Fantastic food and friendly people running it. The lighting was a bit mad but go there for the food! Yummy and affordable!

Best Ethiopian food ever-- do get the lentil extra. Such lovely hosts. recommend. will come again

Super tasty veggie dinner. I'm not a vegetarian but my friends spoke highly of the restaurants veggie options so I went for it! 3 of us had a starter and the large veggie sharing platter and it was amazing. Really tasty food with Ethiopian bread, huge portions. Staff was lovely and helpful. House white wine was tasty and my friends enjoyed the Ethiopian beer. Great value for money. Would recommend and will be back!

amazing restaurant with great food and friendly, attentive staff.

A wonderful restaurant, food and staff really great

Lovely place to eat. Food was perfect and the service was great too.

Amazing value delicious food and great service will definitely be returning

I loved every part of it. Than you

This place is a hidden gem, the food is amazing and very reasonable. Staff are really sweet and it has a lovely family atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Monday night out for dinner on my birthday. Love love love Ethiopian food and Adams Ethiopian definitely made my evening. Nice relaxed atmosphere and wonderful food means I'll back with friends.

Had a great injera, we ordered a veg and meat one. Waitress was lovely and welcoming :)

Fantastic food and service. Catered very well for vegan/veggie

Nice place to go, Excellent treatment.

Really pleasant experience eating here while we were in the area. Friendly staff who greeted us with smiles when we walked in, a clear menu with lots of options (including lots of vegetarian options). We had the vegetarian combo for two people and it was delicious. Good injera, well-spiced dishes. Would recommend!

Wonderful place with amazing food and excellent service . This might just be the best Ethiopian in London!

Amazing, authentic restaurant - some of the best Ethiopian food I've had. Recommend the vegan platter for two with shiro and tej (honey wine). Reasonably priced with friendly service.

Food was *great*! We had the vegan combination plate for two with the hot chickpea dip, and it was more than we could finish. Loved it. Price was very reasonable. Service was very friendly, but the "tag team" approach made it a little difficult to know who to ask for what. It was very clean, comfortable, and pleasant, except the music. Initially it was fairly traditional, and I don't know if they realized I was American and thought we all loved country music (we don't!) or what. Suddenly, in a traditional Ethiopian restaurant in the middle of London, I heard American country music twanging out! It wasn't so much an irritation as it made us laugh. But would definitely recommend! --- Update Sept 21 2023: Travelled halfway across London to make sure it was still a good place to eat. 😉 Confirmed. It was delicious, and my husband almost had to roll me out the door due to food coma. We had the vegan combo with the hot garbanzo dip; were both stuffed and still had enough left over for another meal. Amazing.

Really warm and friendly local Ethiopian place with lots of veggie and vegan options.

Has the veggie platter takeaway it’s so tasty fresh , service was good too , recommend!

Everything perfect, quality food and very good. I would definitely repeat, very nice staff.

really nice food, deffo recommend it!

I had been wanting to try Ethiopian Injera for a while especially as Im veggie and it's a great option for vegetarians. I got the veg mix and really enjoyed most of the dishes, i felt some of the lentil dishes could use a bit more flavour. Overall, i enjoyed the experience of eating with my hands with the tangy injera bread. The lady serving us was lovely too. Also decently priced for the size and variety of the dish.

Amazing food and caring experience, very homely atmosphere. Deserves way more customers! Would 100% come back, thanks Adams :)

Had such a wonderful meal and evening here while visiting London. Excellent food and lovely service, can’t recommend more :-)

Great place to sit, relax and eat amazing food. Ethiopian coffee was so rich. Both staff very friendly too. A must visit.

Peters was amazing! Appreciate the great service😁

Amazing Ethiopian beer with excellent warm service from Ben. Can’t recommend enough!

Had the most amazing experience at Adams Ethiopian. Incredible service, super friendly staff with a special thanks to Ben and Nathan. Definitely recommend getting their authentic Injera. Will be back soon!

Absolutely amazing. Took my cousin and his family. The girls were very happy

This was the best Ethiopian food I have ever had. Flavours were incredible the meat was succulent and soft, the restaurant was super clean and staff were so welcoming and kind. I would definitely recommend!

Great food and very friendly service. Fairly small, but definitely worth a visit.

Nice lunch experience, but not as good as visit couple years ago. Injera top notch, but veggies lack seasoning and salad was boring. Frozen baby carrots? Host/owner lovely, good value.

Family run small business , great customer service , great atmosphere , delicious plant based and other options tasty meals 😋.

Amazing night out. Will be back

A very friendly and welcoming restaurant, with delicious food, served with great courtesy. Several people in my group had not tried ethiopian food before, and the restaurant staff helped us work out what to order to suit our taste, even kindly bringing rice for a friend who found that injera was not to their taste. I had a sharing plate with my partner, and found it absolutely delicious. The menu has instructiions on how to use the injera to pick up your food, but staff were happy to provide cutlery for those in our group who wanted it. Portions were generous and the food filling, so we didn't manage to finish ours, but I was very happy to be offered a takeaway box so I could take my leftovers home.

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food. The food was freshly made, and because of this, the wait was reasonable. The injera was quite sour, but the vegetable and meat dishes went well with it. We got the meat and veg combination for 3 people, and it was more than enough for the 3 of us! Overall, this was an enjoyable new experience.

We've been here just on a date night and out with friends and it's always great. The food is fresh and tasty and the portions are always generous. Make sure you save some room for the honey cake!

Genuine Ethiopian food from an adorable family run restaurant. My partner is vegan and couldn’t have been happier at the amount of choice on offer for vegan/vegetarian food.The dish that we’ll both be dreaming about for a long time is the Veg combination large that we shared, the flavours in each small dish were so well balanced, each with their own unique taste. When you go in say hello to Ben the owner from me. You’ll know who it is by his infectious smile and energy, the kind that makes you feel like you’re home. Definitely an our new favourite restaurant in Brixton!

I was excited to try ethiopian food and even though, I didn’t necessarily enjoy everything it was great to try it. The food is very well seasoned and decent portion sizes and prices The staff were very friendly and happy to answer questions. A great place to try ethiopian food a go!

This restaurant was quite simply one of my best culinary experiences in London! So many flavors, tastes, diversity on a single platter, not only is the food very good and of high quality but eating there is a unique experience, we show you how to eat like in Ethiopia and it's magical! The service, the advice, the location, everything was perfect! Thank you with all my heart, I will not forget this rich experience!

Amazing food. So different but tasty. The staff were wonderful. This is the second time I have been and it was just as good as the first. So much food but they let you take it home if you cannot finish it.

Delicious food (large veg platter with chickpeas) and lovely service. Not as spicy as some of the Ethiopian food we’ve had, which suited me perfectly. We’d love to return when we’re next in the area.

Lovely people here, great spot for a bit of grub

Ethnical African food Interesting experience 😁

Amazing food. Generous serving. Wonderful staff. 😍

Amazing staff and atmosphere, good choice of traditional Ethiopian dishes, affordable prices. Food was delicious! Thank you!

We were greeted by the friendliest staff here and were then treated to some of the most delicious Ethiopian food. We ordered the vegetarian combo with the chickpea sauce - it did not disappoint!

It was healthy, fresh and ok. I rate it only 3 because it lacked the little extra that makes Ethiopian food special. This is a perfect spot for European taste buds, but as an Ethiopian I found the food plane and boring, not too much spice or taste.

7 Star Ethiopian Food , Great Atmosphere and Excellent service. True value for money 👍

Super clean restaurant and very attentive staff. Plus, the menu features a quick guide how to eat with injera, great for first-timers. Food was ok, I ordered Alecha wot and Difen Miser wot, probably I should have chosen the spicy options, flavours were very mild. Prices are reasonable and you can get a vegan side for £4.9 with any meat main. No service charge so bring change for tips.

amazing service & authentic experience!

Really delicious food and good service

Never had Ethiopian food before so nothing to compare this to, however the flavours were fantastic and service excellent Recommend booking because only a small place

Great food and service. Our waitress was very warm. Would recommend particularly as it has a great range of both meat and vegan options

I took my dad and his partner here tonight. I tried to park right outside and the owner came out to ask me to park elsewhere. However when he realised that my dad would really struggle, even though I offered to move it, he very kindly let me stay out front. He helped me to move the car against the fence. The food was delicious- we had a meat sharing platter, served on Ethiopian enjera bread and it was so tasty. My dad had a vegetarian platter. The owners couldn’t have been kinder, more welcoming or more hospitable. The restaurant was nicely full and had a happy buzz from contented diners. Thank you

I spoke with the proprietor who was very informative and kind. As an Ethiopian who can’t cook his own traditional meals, I was over the moon to hear that Adam’s carries Kitfo. Adam‘s sent over the combo we had ordered AND threw in Kitfo for my homesick heart. I will remember this forever, thank you again for the amazing food. Will be eating here again soon.

Highly recommended, good value for a tasty meal, big portions and friendly service. We finished off with a glass of their honey/sweet wine.

Loved it. Best example of Ethiopian food I have had in London. Will definitely be visiting again

Friendly restaurant and food was healthy and delicious
