Asmarino Café in Islington

Great location and love the quality

This place is always so warm and welcoming. The coffee is always excellent and so are the baked goods!

Amazing food and service. The old man who served us was so sincere and kind and genuinely delighted by us ordering their Eritrean dishes. The food was absolutely delicious and spiced to perfection, we got the ful medames (sooo wholesome) and the fatta which was super indulgent and good for the soul. The gentleman serving us looked so happy to see we had polished the food off the plates clean. Also really recommend their spiced tea! Fantastic value for money in a really relaxing environment

The hot drinks & food will explain why I have rated this place a 5*.

You get a personal service here that you just don't get elsewhere anymore. There's a story behind each dish. If you're looking for something different to a supermarket meal deal or a café owned by some big corporate, give Asmarino a go.

The owner is a lovely, genuinely caring lady who would easily take a few minutes out of her busy day running the Cafe, to have a little chat. The customer service is unmatched.

Asmarino is one of those small family owned businesses, they have one of the best coffees if not the best. The food is great too. The place is very clean and there are plenty of seating areas.

Great food selection love this place been coming here for the past five years.

Came in here today and had the kitcha fit fit and a glass of tea. Both were delicious. Clean and nicely decorated cafe. Makele was very courteous.

Debo decir que el servicio al cliente es excelente y la comida es muy sabrosa. Lo recomiendo a las familias que lo visiten, ya que es muy amigable para los niños y está limpio.

Este es un gran café con un excelente servicio al cliente. El personal es muy atento y educado, y la comida es muy buena.

This is the place where you can get refreshed

Tuve el pescado blanco frito y el plato de arroz para el almuerzo que sabía increíble! Encantador, cálido y comida casera a precios realmente razonables. También probado los cafés que sabía increíble!

Realmente encantador chocolate caliente en esta sencilla cafetería eritrea no afectada, servida por un personal muy agradable. Bonito lugar.

Absolutely amazing place. It remind me of back home. The food was amazing. We have had kixcha fitfit. Love it. Staff are very friendly and multilingual. Good bus services. Finsbury Park station is not far. And there is Holloway station.

The food was amazing and the service was brilliant. This is a lovely little cafe and I will definitely be returning

There are lots of good food options on Seven Sisters Road, but Asmarino is the one I always return to. This is not only for the food but for the friendly staff. I'm particularly happy when they are serving spinach or spiced lentils. On the occasions I fancy meat their chicken and lamb dishes are always delicious.

Nice friendly place, clean .... and great coffee!

Fantastic food and amazing service! Thank you.

So fantastic and very pleasant well prepared and presented

Traditional Eritrean breakfast was lovely, frittata was superb

Brilliant cafe with very friendly staff & nice atmosphere, food is delicious, I highly recommend it.

I really love being at Asmarino because whatever it is every single food is DELICOUS!!! I even wish I lived here because all my meals would be worth living for. The staff are very friendly, kind and polite and never make you spend a lot of money. The atmosphere is very peaceful and I love coming here either with my friends or family. The WiFi also makes it a place where you can relax and work, you would never think that would be possible! The giant painting of the Cathedral in Eritrea makes it more comforting. I hope you go to Asmarino soon.

Amazing food! And lovely service, I would recommend the sweet potatoe mixed with vegetables and chicken! Yum 👍

I had a genuine traditional Eritrean breakfast here this morning and it was amazing! Delicious food and lovely and friendly staff. I have annoying food intolerances which were patiently accommodated by one of the owners. I certainly felt well cared for and I really enjoyed the food which was very reasonably priced.

Fantastic coffee, cheers from phil

Really nice cafe the food and the place is very nice and clean excellent costmoer service

Really lovely, nicely spiced, authentic Eritraen food with European twist, and very decent coffee. Its family run, so a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. And the prices are very reasonable. A hidden gem that is well worth a detour.

Friendly staff, free WiFi, great coffee! Lovely place!

Such a lovely little cafe. Marvellous place for a quick delicious lunch. Incredible lovely and friendly staff. D finitely come here!

The woman behind counter was very nice and made a great latte. I stopped in for a late breakfast and it was delicious. Eggs just the way I liked. Would definitely recommend.

Friendly new cafe. Coffee is delicious. Had some food and really enjoyed it. New place and finally a place in Finsbury Park I like.

The staff are nice friendly. The place is clean and has a nice feel to it. I really enjoyed the food for lunch. It was also a relaxed place to have a coffee and work on my laptop. If I'm passing by at lunchtime in the future I wouldn't think twice about eating here again.

I haven't been there yet. I am looking forward to my first visit soon!!!
