Absolutely delicious food. Great service. Every single bit of veg was so yummy. Beer went nice with it also. Portion size was fantastic. Well worth the money. I will be returning. Also was an absolute pleasure that the record shop next door was playing Dilla. Toooo good.

Small but mighty vegan Ethiopian spot in Tooting market! They only have 2 tables so it feels a bit tight - in fairness because the restaurant is right at the entrance of the market, so it was pretty nice and intimate (and not too busy & loud especially in the evening). We went for mix veg platter for two which is an absolute great deal!! 4 types of stews presented nicely on a massive bed of injera. All stews/dishes were delicious - good amount spices and kicks. We appreciated that all of them had different taste/profiles and they made it perfectly. Almost like we had a good party in our mouth. Can't recommend more!!!

Absolutely delicious! I always feel better after an Ethopian, so I had to try the traditional doro wat on injera. My friend ordered the chicken brine and I got to try some. I would return again even though it's quite a journey from where I live.

In the heart of the market you’ll find Elsa’s Vegan kitchen, but is it actually “vegan”? There were some dishes on the menu saying it included chicken or meat and didn’t seem like it’s vegan alternatives, however the food was delicious and we loved it and enjoyed our meal. Portions are generous and reasonably priced. Their fresh mango juice is amazing as well.

Picked up a lunch suprise bag from Too Good to Go, it was delish! The owner heated up a lovely mix of vegs and the injera was soft and fresh. Would definitely go again to try a proper sit down meal.
