Great handmade food coming out of a very simple and small kitchen. Recommend everything on the menu! Could do with some more comfortable seating but the food is excellent and the owner is just lovely.

Just popped in for a takeaway coffee and hands down it's the best one I've ever had in Tottenham. There was something cooking that smelt amazing too so I'm certainly going back to eat this week. Open late seven days a week, apparently. Well worth going out of your way to find if you like proper coffee. Amazing.

My favourite restaurant, best Eritrean/ Ethiopian food, customer service was 10/10! the tibs&injera dish is so good, or shiro&injera if you want to try something with unique taste!
