Flamingo in Hammersmith and Fulham

I give this restaurant a 5* for atmosphere only. The rest are very a disappointing 1*. I have been in many Ethiopian restaurant and this was not what I expected. They need to work on their cooking skills and customer service. Only one lady was serving.

I never saw and test such Injera since I came to this country 😢😢😢 I wish there was a better quality than quantity. Very poooooooooor test!

Excellent food and excellent service. Will be back.

Pretty good good at good prices

It been more than a month there enjera was so horrible the test the look and everything they are not even welling to receive the comment I am not going to buy again from this restaurant again.

Awful service by the waiter. She was very rude and unprofessional. We complained to her boss but he wasn’t bothered. We ordered Combo vegetarian which is good for 2-3 people and got absolutely minute food which is not enough for one person. We expressed our opinion but her response was unsatisfactory and borderline rude. We will never come to this place again.

This was a good location for us to go. We were planning to go to Westfield shepherd bush. We were fasting, so it is seemed a logical place to go there. We ordered a vegetarian Combo which it says for 2-3 servings. What we were served was an absolutely disappointing food. It was only four types of vegetarian cold food with a plastic injera of one person’s serving. It I was so small I don’t think we had two or three bites. We were quite shocked and asked the waiter to get an explanation. She was very rude in her responses. She told us we were meant to ask for more if we needed it and the combo was not meant for Ganesha customers. It is really bad that people are asked to beg for more after they paid their money. How we were meant to know this is extremely bizarre to say the least. We then complained this to restaurant manager and he didn’t bother to give any response. I didn’t see the reason why they have to do that and embarrassed in front of my guests which were from overseas. I have no plans to come back to this place ever again.

We had a great time, and a lovely meal, and we'll definitely be back!

We had a positive experience. The waitress was really friendly (with smiles and entertaining our curiosity) and the food was great! I'd go again!

First time trying Ethiopian food, I really liked it, good value for money, great location. Service was a bit slow, although food come at a reasonable time, to get attention from server was impossible.

I’ve been their customer for over ten year. I really enjoyed their food, it’s delicious! Moreover, I am not vegan but their vegan food is really good! Their staff are always friendly, helpful and polite.

Fantastic, Ethiopian cuisine! Highly recommend!

Food was decent but it was cold. Wouldn’t recommend, wouldn’t go again.

Arrogant Waitress and rotten meat very bad restaurant. This is not thr ethiopian food I know it is a scam to sell boiled meat that has been kept for a week as fried meat(tibs) which should be made fresh. Dangerously negligent staff even afyer informing the Waitress about the problem and we told her the food is smelling bad as the meat is rotten she refused to do anything. We had to pay for a food that we were not able to eat. I don't recommend at all avoid this restaurant to be safe from food poisoning. In addition to this they have no allergies information.

Very good an authentic. Portions are very big

It’s horrible food I’ve never had this experience since I come to London as I’m habesha The meat not fresh horrible tests

Very bad restaurant me and my friend ordered tibs ( fried meat)but they gave us rotten meat which was boiled some days ago and they don't want to correct their mistake. Very disrespectful Waitress and unpleasant staff. Will never visit again. I don't recommend any one to go to this restaurant, as it is highly likely you would be dissatisfied if not poisoned due to the unhygienic food like they served us.

I love the service, the food and the environment at the restaurant.

Take away <pickup > Vegetarian Good fresh and tasty vegetarian food. I've ordered in the restaurant and takeaway. Friendly and fast staff. Good value for money.

While the food was Okay the server was an absolutely unhelpful and untrained as she refused to acknowledge the offer scheme restaurant presented via Tastecard. Despite us making a phone call ahead of arriving and confirming that we would be availing the discount. She wasted nearly 20mins of our time stating that we should have mentioned the card again after entering the restaurant. She almost acknowledged that if we had stated it before the food offered would have changed. Which again goes against the policy of what they claimed to have offered. Disappointing to say the least.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. It reminded me of meals I once had in Sudan and I never expected to be able to get something this authentic in London. Great service and a decent price. If it's busy expect to wait a little as everything is obviously made to order. I would certainly head back there to try other dishes.

Brilliant food and great value.

Very affordable for London, especially considering the variation on the njera platter.

I went to Flamingo Ethiopian restaurant with my friends, I had bad experience at there. The food is very bad and no cleaning and also there is a bad smell👎 The owner doesn't know how to run the business and how to welcome customers😏

I came to London to visit my sisters from USA and I went to Flamingo Ethiopian restaurant, they serve very delicious dishes I really love it. Keep it up Thank you

Fabulous food Friendly Atmosphere Well worth a visit. Family Loves Ethiopia and Eritrean food

Excellent service food was not great.

Great food and a light beer for a mid week dinner was perfect

Best Ethiopian restaurant in London. Very tasty

Always excellent food and service 👍

Hadn't been there since last year. Went with a good friend and her parents. Nice meal, company. Pity the restaurant didn't have Tej . Typical Ethiopian honey based drink. Apart from that everything was great

Nice but didn’t give me the option to have the stew.

The best restaurant, best food and service

I been a different ethiopian restaurants can't compere The place , food , food price and service was great , I love to go back again and again with a friend and family

I can say the food is moderate, its not that much.

I am half Ethiopian and I can honestly say that this is the Best ethiopian restaurant in London. Very traditional flavors, excellent quality and quantity and cozy environment. Prices are great as well! I go there at least once a month.

Decent food . With a lot of variety and fair price.

Amazing! Food, service, everything is astonishing!

Food was very awful and the resturant smells like a toilet.A bad smell was emanating from the toilet that is located in the basement.we had to move to the tables located in the first floor but still that area was also smelling like a dirty toilet.it was disgusting to eat food while breathing a bad smell. The waitress was not welcoming and the service they provided us was also very poor. I don't recommend to anyone to go there and dine and l will never go back there until they improve their service.

So terrible disrespectful waitress and unfriendly

The food is really good but, there is one waitress that she has a very bad attitude and unfriendly.

Warm welcome, good price, and delicious food in a cosy atmosphere. Poor wine choice but we'll be back again.

Lovely staff, homely setting, and amazing food! Been so many times and it's always consistent and delicious

Amazing place to be in after along in day shopping or working good food good people they treat you like family great place

Good person, good Ethiopian restaurant, good injera

I opted for the flamingo £30 VEGETARIAN platter. The price increased by £5 ,not updated on website( still says £25) I was shocked, when I saw how little good there was and doubled checked in case that had made a mistake,they hadn't. The amount of food was a pitiful disappointment and clearly over priced. Dishes were MISSING. I will not be going there again.

Good food. I have ordered a take away and it prepared in a timely manner.

Customer service is excellent and the food is so delicious.

Tasty food, large portion, good service, affordable price 👍

My first time here and I have to say the food was brillian! Unlike any other cuisine. A large platter of meat and veg dishes served with flat bread to eating all with. No cutlery needed!! Amazing experience and so cheap in comparison to other restaurants but excellent quality and taste. Will definitely be returning!

This was my first time eating ethiopian dishes. Flamingo Special Meat & Veggie Selection I'd say is the perfect item to order for first timers like me. I absolutely loved it! The flavours of the spices made a huge impression on me. This has been a great cultural experience. Looking forward to getting introduced to more ethiopian dishes and culture!

Love the food, good portions, nice and beautiful ethiopian deco excellent hospitality. Coffee over priced, otherwise will go back again.

Good customer service all of them politely

Really lovely place great food nice staff .I would definitely recommend it

Very good food and I love their injera somuch 😁

Cool for family gathering, nice food!

I like eating and drinking in the Flamingo.

Authentic Ethiopian food and atmosphere

Good Ethiopian food and drink I love it.

I visited this restaurant yesterday, the food was out of this world! I have not stopped thinking about it 😍🙌🏾I can't wait to go back!

I went there last Monday very unprofessional staff and they served me meat which had gone off. The waitress she doesn't even know what to do. Seems they have a poor Food and Beverages management system. They must be well aware that they are representing and promoting the food and culture of Ethiopia. They must be happy I didn't call police! I won recomend

It’s always one of the cleanest restaurant but very bad enjera

Food was nice. Nice service too.

Filamingo is very tidy food everything is clean..restuarant..w🍊🍊

Super bon, pas très cher, typique

I was taken to this restaurant by a friend of mine who is Eritrean and as I had never had Ethiopian/Eritrean food. This is a lovely little restaurant that has seating as you walk in and then downstairs there is a load more seating. As I didn't know what to order my friend ordered a lamb dish with a number of vegetables/sauces. The flavours were wonderful, complimented each other and the Injera (sour dough risen flat bread) the main part of the meal. The price was good, the transport links are good and a lovely little setting.

They are not welcoming to come back again

Very tasty food! The service is wanting however, but a good meal is a good meal.

Great value for money and friendly staff, only slight critism was that the service was a bit slow. Otherwise very happy.

Het is al even geleden, maar wij hebben hier heerlijk gegeten, het was ook mijn 1e keer dat ik Etiopisch at en dat is prima bevallen. Als ik weer eens in London ben, kom ik hier heel graag weer.

Very friendly authentic atmosphere

ጥዑም መግብን መስተን፡ ፍሕሹው ኣቀባብላ ደስ ትብል ኣሳሳይት።

Moderate quality. A welcome unpretentious vibe.

For any person like to tray African meals

Great place for Ethiopian cuisine

Do something different. Try Ethiopian you won't be disappointed

Second time I've been here. So far the food and service were always outstanding. Thanks!

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food. The place is very easy to find, with good trasport links (Shepherds Bush, White City, Shepherds Bush Market and Woodlane Station are all very near by). The food was quite flavoursome, cheap and a delight to try - the injeraw as to die for! They don't give you cutlery; you have to eat with your hands, which was a fantastic and nice social way of eating. Unfortunately, I have since tried better Ethiopian food,so I won't be going back.

Great, unique food options and experience. Communal style eating, and eating with hands makes for a more involved meal. Portions were average - a chicken dish (doro wit) came with one small, somewhat dry chicken leg, but there was plenty of injera. Server was excellent and friendly and taught us about Ethiopian food and culture.

Good Ethiopian tradition food and drink. Recommended by me.

Superb food and friendly staff!! Perfect to take a break, disconnect and enjoy : )

By far the best Ethiopian food in London.

We like to try new food and I'm grateful we came here because the food was absolutely amazing. We enjoyed the Tej too, delicious!

Absolutely delicious authentic food. I went with my friends used taste card and enjoyed so much traditional flavours. I am South Indian and we have similar pan cake type meal (Ingera) called Dosa. This was my third experience in Ethiopian restaurant.

Great food and wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

Lovely food, a bit of a language barrier with the staff, but they seemed really keen to help. Massive portions!

We fancied a change and had heard of this place. I don’t know how authentic it is as I have nothing to compare it to, however it was full of Ethiopians having lunch, thus seems fairly authentic to me. The man serving is was very friendly, however it took a very long time for our food to come out, and other tables of locals were being served before us even though they came in after us. The food was interesting and tasty, although the sour bread became a little monotonous after a while. You need to eat this with every bite as you eat with your fingers (which we actually enjoyed doing). Good value, especially local beers at £2.50. No service charge and a nice experience. However we are unlikely to return.

Friendly down to earth service and delicious authentic food. Drinks are really good value and no service charge, meaning you can show your appreciation by adding your own generous tip. Will definitely be back!

Had nice food and staff were very friendly

The Service given by the waitress or the owner seems to one of the worst I have experienced. I and my friend went to on a Saturday afternoon, there weren't many people and we thought we found a gem that wasn't crowded. Things went downhill from there, the waitresses were not respondent initially and when they came they were half-assed. we were confused but we managed to order in the end but then they brought us a wrong order which they refused to return, by this time we were already just trying to eat anything and leave asap. The end was the icing on the cake, let's just say we left the food with just one bite. absolutely horrible.

Lugar de comida, sabrosa, interesante, auténtica, excelente elección ya un buen precio: si fuera por la comida en sí, sin duda volvería muchas veces. Ahora, para el servicio, usé tastecard, que llamé el día anterior para reservar mesa para 4 personas en el teléfono que tenía un inglés muy pobre, pero en mi opinión, lo reservé para mí. Llegué a almorzar el jueves con colegas y todo estuvo genial hasta que llegó la cuenta. No se aplicó ningún descuento, la persona que sirve tampoco podía hablar mucho inglés como ninguna otra persona de 20 personas que trabajan allí. . Primero escuché que no lo aceptan, luego que no funciona el jueves, luego tuve que reservar mesa en el teléfono y que el registro de llamadas no funcionó, quería que le dijera con quién hablé: cliente ¿Le dice a un camarero que trabajó allí el día anterior? Luego terminó hablando con el manager que también era difícil hablar. . al final conseguí comida a mitad de precio, quería pagar con tarjeta y ellos querían cobrarme 1. 5 como era tarjeta de crédito - ESTO ES ILEGAL desde principios de este año. Terminé pagando con tarjeta de débito. Mientras hablaba con el camarero, había muchas personas entrando y entregándole dinero en efectivo sin ninguna razón, muy dudoso. . . si está solo por comida, hágalo, almuerzo, ocasión, reunirse con amigos, traer vegetarianos, veganos, hacer cualquier solicitud adicional, querer hacer preguntas, ¿qué incluye la comida? - Evitar.

Ethiopian resturant. Well cooked and nice

Booked a table for 2 with taste card which was easy. On arrival the service was poor / non-existent. Went to order a main and was told they don’t have it. Ordered a different main and told yet again they don’t have it. Told the waitress we’d decided to leave and go somewhere else, and was met with a blank look and no apology. Food may have been nice but the service was disappointing. Would not recommend.

Go and try something new - we did and really enjoyed it. Ethiopean food is delicious. We got the large Injera bread with a spicy lentil stew and a milder chickpea stew. It was superb, plus its a really nice social way of eating. The stew is just spooned onto the bread, and you all just rip pieces of the bread (which is more akin to a thin pancake) and scoop the stew. Really nice and very inexpensive. Pity the Ethiopian beer had run out as I would have liked to have tried that too - maybe next time.

Food, the fresh one is quite good ,the service is OK for the standard of this kind of restaurant. As all restaurant in London is missing the personality that welcoming you and explaining the food.

Best Ethiopian restaurant and very friendly staff

Really excellent food, friendly staff, good menu, and fair pricing. 10/10 would recommend and go back.

First time for us and Ethiopian food, and a rather nice experience it was too. Food extremely flavourful, plenty of it, and loved the Injera. Pity the Ethiopian beer had ran out as would have been nice to try it. Good service, and would definitely visit again. Very reasonably priced.

Goed restaurant met een ruime keuze aan gerechten, die met een soort pannenkoek wordt geserveerd. Vraag aan de ober wat niet heet is, want pittig is daar echt heel heet. Met een paar flessen Ethiopisch bier is dat enigszins te blussen, maar wel jammer van de andere gerechten. De ober wil ook aan de kok vragen om het niet te pittig te maken.

Great authentic food! And good value for a group... Would definitely recommend
