I have heard a lot about Corarima and thought it was about time to try it for myself. Warm welcome from the owners and made to feel very comfortable from the start. The restaurant is cosy and spotlessly clean with a minimal feel despite plenty of traditional Ethiopian and Eritrean decorations around the room. It really is very nice. Having never tried food from this part of the world, we decided to put our trust in the chef and ordered a sharing dish for three with a starter of hummus (made in house), flatbread made from chickpea flour and potato wedges spiced with berbere. All incredibly delicious and the softness of the flatbread was a welcome change from pitta. The main arrived with some theatre, presented on a slate with a selection of main dishes spooned on top of a large piece of injera, a flatbread made from teff flour - a grain native to Ethiopia and Eritrea. Encouraged to eat using the injera to scoop up the vegetable based dishes in front of us. Everything was beautifully flavoured with numerous spices (in some dishes as many 18). The meal was completed with a pot of coffee, poured for us from a beautiful jebena into tiny decorated cups. The flavour of the coffee was intense with the beans roasted and ground in house before being flavoured with ginger, cardamom, anise and presumably various other spices. The saltiness of the popcorn, traditionally served with coffee in Ethiopia, really added something to the coffee. Wonderful restaurant, lovely warm and hospitable hosts and exceptionally flavoursome food. It was a pleasure to be served a meal which came with a little insight into the traditions and culture of what I am sure is a fascinating country. Looking forward to returning to try more dishes.

We travelled to Cambridge and my young son was extremely keen to try Africfood given the reviews. What a terrible experience. For £7.50 you get one piece of goat ' meat' ( bone surrounded by a minuscule amount of meat) with a lot of rice. He was extremely disappointed and I was kind of furious. This is really a bit of a scam. In a market with lots of amazing food stalls, why would anyone spend their money here for a ridiculous amount of goat curry.

I absolutely loved this place! It's so colourful and engaging and it has a very wide array of vegan food options. I loved the Africando. The prices are also a great rarity in London in still being actually affordable! I will try and make it back whenever I am next in Brixton.

Delicioso y auténtico almuerzo vegetariano etíope fue la llamada del día esta tarde. El combo de verduras que comprende más de seis variedades, todas bien preparadas y presentadas, acompañadas de un gran servicio al cliente. Recomendaría el combo de verduras etíopes en Piassa Restaurant and Bar durante este período de ayuno (etíope). Gracias por todo el personal y YAYA.

Really chill vibes, just off the high street of salcombe so you miss the manic foot traffic. Really tasty food and beer and both the owner and staff were incredibly friendly. Would recommend to anyone in Salcombe who wants to stray from the usual pasties or pub grub and eat some healthy and delicious South African food.

Excellent food, Hatem the chef is very friendly and goes out of his way to make us feel welcome. He is passionate about his place of origin and it shows in his culinary skills.

Very friendly service and excellent food. It was so cold today and they even put a heater on for us. The samosa starters were great too.

Estaba deseando cenar en Akoko y experimentar la comida de África Occidental elevada a un buen nivel gastronómico. Al final me fui con la sensación de que algo faltaba. Hay pocos platos como el arroz Jollof y la carne de res, que eran realmente de primer nivel, pero en pocos platos faltaba algo, como un poco de textura o toque de condimento. Realmente no había un factor sorpresa, realmente no sentí que la vitalidad y la alegría de África Occidental se tradujeran en la comida. La carta de vinos está bien, pero 3. 6 veces el margen es uno de los más altos que he visto en el centro de Londres. El servicio estaba un poco apurado. La música de fondo era demasiado alta y nuestro camarero estaba hablando demasiado rápido y no podíamos entender la historia sobre los platos, necesitábamos pedir que se repitieran dos veces. ¿Está bien, sí? ¿Es nivel Estrella Michelin, no estoy seguro?

We would TOTALLY agree with the One review. A gem of a find. It has been a very long time since we have enjoyed such finger-licking (yes, we had the tiger prawns; exceptional, as were the samosas!) unpretentious, tasty, expertly prepared, top quality food, for a very reasonable price. All freshly prepared, as we waited. Met with a warm welcome, with an abundance of enthusiasm to check we were enjoying our flavoursome Portuguese fayre. Our taste buds had a full workout! Our hosts are rightfully proud of their mama’s culinary skills and the evident love and care she lavishes on her creations. The menu is simple, but powerful. We will definitely be back for more. Thank you for making my husband’s birthday lunch an absolute delight. Obrigado! Tina & family

Es la primera vez que pruebo comida etíope y no decepcionó. Ambiente encantador, la comida era increíble y el servicio de los propietarios era brillante. Teníamos el plato de compartir para dos y la cantidad de comida era genial. Bien vale la pena el viaje desde Kent! Recomiendo encarecidamente a cualquiera que quiera probar la comida tradicional etíope.

Esta es la 4ª vez que he visitado. Siempre tengo el plato vegetariano seguido de café. El chef asa los frijoles ella misma mientras comes. Maravillosa variedad de gustos. Bien vale la pena la visita! !
