Best, Ethipean food I've ever had, so much flavour, beautiful atmosphere. Really feels like an amazing home cooked experience. Lots of love goes into that food you can tell.

What a genuinely delicious restaurant. They probably have the best Vegan food in North London. The honey drink/wine is highly recommended. Great place to bring the family and a very welcoming cosy atmosphere.

Our visit to the restaurant was overshadowed by discriminatory treatment from the owner towards us due to tribal differences. It's disappointing to encounter such behavior in a place that should celebrate diversity. We hope for a change in attitude and a more inclusive atmosphere for all patrons.

we were craving for enjera, so I took my friend there. The way the owner looked at us and her rude behavior made us uncomfortable. When we asked her about the toilet, her response was dismissive, saying there should be one. We couldn’t tolerate her disrespectful attitude, so we decided to leave the restaurant while she was preparing our food.

The owner of the place is not welcoming and dismissive. The food is good but paid over 50 pounds for two people. I felt robbed. I tried to ask her about the menu and just let me do a wrong over order that was obviously two much for two people. The food was good but not 55 pounds

The Ethiopian food served here is outstanding and the atmosphere is welcoming. Whether you have eaten injera many times before, or if you haven't heard of it, you should definitely taste the food here. Genet and her chefs have mastered the art of Ethiopian cuisine and I definitely recommend visiting her restaurant.

Words can't describe how deliciously lip smacking this food is. And don't even get me started on the service, how yummy the food is and how quick it was served. Genet deserves a certificate. As an injara lover and taster, it is like nothing I have tasted before. If you want an introduction to Ethiopian food, you should DEFINITELY go to this restaurant.

Genet serves very authentic (it seems) and delicious Ethiopian food in Tottenham. Everything seems to be made by the one lady that runs the show, cooking and serving. She's not only a great cook but also very nice to talk to if you'd like to get some tips about what to eat. I'd highly recommend the mixed platter for the group. Bear in mind that no alcohol is served there in case you'd like to accompany your food with a beer. A selection of soft drinks is available tho.

It's a lovely, comfy place to try Ethiopian food. We were completely new to Ethiopian food and the owner recommended dishes to us based on our preferences. This place is definitely vegan-friendly and also suitable for people who like gluten-free food. It's also got a great selection of meat options. Things to note before you head over: 1. If you're new to Ethiopian food (like us), you may find injera (the bread you use to eat your dishes with) too sour for your liking. It is healthy, but if the sourness isn't for you, get strong-tasting dishes that can mask the sourness. We got a spicy mutton dish that worked well for this. 2. They don't do small individual plates - my picture below is the 3 dishes we ordered put on one platter. It makes for a nice communal dining experience. I really enjoyed the mutton dishes. All in all, I definitely enjoyed it - it was new to me and I came away with a greater appreciation for Ethiopian food.

Back of Genet! Mild-mannered and low key hosting put us at ease in a modest setting the moment we sat down. Two of us are vegan and the third an omni and we opted for #3 for 3 people. Decent portions of seven varieties arrived on a generously sized sharing plate lined with injera [bread] which also included four individual rolled injera. I am a pie and always want Asian sized portions so I was delighted with the size of our order, even shared between three! But what is quantity without quality? Rest assured; the chef at The Genet has you covered, delivering wonderfully well-balanced flavours, beautifully seasoned, and although some varieties looked similar and shared some vegetable ingredients, they all tasted different with each offering something to please. This is not my part of town but well worth the trip. Exceptionally good food and the best Ethiopian I've had in a good while! Please keep doing what you're doing - I will be back!!

Absolute delicious and fantastic value. The two of us were served a mixed vegetarian platter for 25.99, which you can see in the photo below. It was huge and absolutely delicious. Every part of it was unusual, flavoursome and delicious. The waiter(/cook/owner?) was an absolutely delightful woman who did everything she could to help us and make us feel at home. We were the only people in there, but there should be queues out the door, it's honestly wonderful. It's BYOB as well! Couldn't recommend more highly.

Hard to find little gem at the bottom of a housing block, serving Ethiopean/eritrean food. So just to be aware, service is a little slow, but this is more than made up for by the very accommodating prices, and the BYOB policy (no corkage!). I would go for one of the larger meat or vegetarian platters (think I have asked for both on the same injeera!) as they give you a great introduction to this place. Highly recommended!

The food is always absolutely incredible, Genet is a genius cook. I always have the same thing, which is the mixed vegetarian dish and it never fails to delight. I've had Ethiopian in a few other places and they honestly haven't come close. Portions are generous, prices are very reasonable and I love the family and community atmosphere of the place. Staff (the kids) and regulars are very friendly and you might get to learn a bit about Ethiopian pop music, if they have the TV on the music channel. I usually hate TVs on while I'm eating but the fact that it's only Ethiopian channels really adds to the cultural experience and is good fun.

Public aren't my usual thing but when it comes to the best food I've ever eaten in a restaurant then it'd be rude not to share 😋. By recommendation we happened upon this unassuming Ethiopian place run by the chef and her husband who were gentlest loveliest people who somehow managed to pass on some sort of arcane wisdom through the medium of the tastiest, cleanest, inexplicably delicious and stratospherically gorgeous OK shut up Dan. 1) It's called Genet Restaurant. 2) It's at 4 Victoria rd, Seven Sisters 3) Go there 4) The vegetarian buffet thing for two.

Two friends asked me to visit this restaurant with them. None of us had been before but my friends had heard of the restaurant from a third party and as they enjoyed Ethiopian food wanted to try it out. I'm not very adventurous so had reservations about eating a new cuisine. We went on a Thursday evening for dinner, about 7:30pm. When we arrived we were told that we had arrived during the fasting period so the restaurant could only serve vegan meals, we also found out that there was no alcohol licence but we could bring in alcohol for a small corking charge (there's an off licence opposite so we quickly grabbed a couple of drinks). The welcome was great and the staff (I think owner) very friendly. They helped us understand the menu and we opted for a large selection plate for three people. When the plate arrived it was huge, smelled and looked beautiful (see image). The host explained each item to us and was happy to answer any questions with a smile. The food was delicious - we ate everything and asked for more. I was really surprised - everything had a great flavour and lots of different flavours without being too overpowering with spice or heat. The fact it was all vegan - you would never have known! I can highly recommend this place and we will be going back... This restaurant is within a small shopping arcade by a social housing estate that doesn't have a great reputation - do not let this put you off! You won't regret it if you go - the decor is a bit tired but the place is clean, welcoming and friendly.

Eli's Pizza is hands down the best pizza place around! Every time I visit, the food is always hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The pizza is incredible – perfectly cooked, flavorful, and just what you'd expect from a top-notch pizzeria. The dining area is spotless and always feels welcoming. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. I've visited all of their locations, and every single one is consistently perfect. I wouldn't waste my money at any other pizza place from now on. Eli's Pizza has won me over completely!
