The best restaurants serving African food in Islington London

Fabulous restaurant great food friendly staff good service and great value will definitely be coming back again. I would highly recommend

Great location and love the quality

Fantastic flavours, very clean restaurant and welcoming staff. Having tried several Ethiopian places in London, this is the most consistent for both vegan and meat dishes. Service is not added to the bill but bring cash if you want to tip.

The owner of this restaurant is so lovely, and the food is excellent. Gluten free injera is standard.

Poor customer service . Such a disrespectful place 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤧

Amazing and authentic food. We got the share platter for two and was more than enough. The place felt authentic and the service was genuine and caring. A local gem

Fantastic meal, And great service. Well worth the 15 minutes wander from Kings Cross Station think this was our sixth visit over many years and the standards are still excellent

Great food at reasonable prices, with very friendly service, and no background music!(Yay!) Tiramisu to die for! Great veggie option.

La bonita decoración y ambiente acogedor, el personal era muy amable y nos ayudó a que nuestra mente en lo que a la orden, que no era una tarea fácil ya que mi especial y me encanta la comida eritreos demasiado! Ya tengo ganas de volver otra vez y darnos un capricho algunos más!

We ordered vegetarian ( Naytsom) and Keyih Tibsi, the portions was okay but the vegetarian was not fresh and doesn’t taste good. keyih tibsi compared to previous it wasn’t good. I don’t recommend any one to order the Vegetarian.

Fui a este restaurante con mi familia para celebrar mi cumpleaños. El restaurante es pequeño y acogedor. El anfitrión / servidor era muy acogedor. La comida era fantástica. Tengo dos hijos que son exigentes comiendo, uno es más exigente que el otro. Ambos niños disfrutaron mucho de la comida, especialmente porque podían comer con las manos. Todos estamos deseando visitar de nuevo.

We were looking for somewhere for lunch and this was the perfect choice. Although it is situated on a somewhat unglamorous parade, we ventured in and were treated by the presumed owner to a most hospitable meal and drinks. He gave sensible and genuine advice as to what we might like to order and most certainly didn't disappoint. They do two brands of beer - one Eritrean (quite malty) and an Ethiopian one (hoppy, German style lager). St Gabriel's deserves to be in a more appealing area, but meanwhile it is very convenient for the Elephant branch of Southwark Playhouse.

Lovely place to try Ethiopian food. The staff was very friendly and everything we tasted was delicious. Definitely recommend!

The best dish this side of the Thames, truly a one of a kind experience

All 4 of us were delighted with the experience. It was the first time we tried Eritrean food and we were greatly surprised. We ordered the meat and vegetarian combos and everything was lovely. Some dishes were too hot for me (as I am not very used to hot food), but everyone else loved them. The restaurant is cozy and very nicely decorated. Service was 10 🌟! The lady helped us with the menu and was very attentive (if you actually read this review: thanks so much!!) We will be returning soon!
