I am truly delighted to put this place on the [yelp] map. Everything about this little tucked away…read morebasement restaurant from the humble proprietors, delicious food, amazing prices to the cosy interior generates a wonderful atmosphere. I was brought here by a[n Ethiopian] friend who claims this is the most authentic food he's discovered in London, I cannot pretend to have done such extensive research myself but I certainly enjoyed everything we sampled here. Generally, I would always recommend sharing platters anyway as a way to try as many things as possible and at Gojo, for only £8 (!) they are an absolute steal (easily feed 3 people). They arrive with a splayed injera (pancake-like bread with a porous texture to absorb all the flavours and spices of the accompanying dishes), onto which various curried lentil, chickpea, spinach, green bean and cabbage stews are served. There is a vegetarian, meat and fish option, but extra or alternative dishes of any variety can be ordered to accompany the feast. Additional rolls of injera are used as edible utensils (and appear to be delivered from a bottomless supply), and the whole meal experience is enhanced by getting to scoop up large juicy morsels of food (dipped in chili powder if you're brave enough!) and eat everything with your hands. One of the most interesting dishes was a sort of minced, seasoned beef tartar, which, if you're a little squeamish about can be cooked longer to brown it up. My favourite was certainly the cold curried lentil salad served in the middle of the sharing platter. Our hostest was so generous with all the serving portions, and threw in some additional complementary salads, that embarrassingly we hugely over ordered so left with handsome take-out boxes stuffed to the brim for tomorrow's feedings... Also I have no idea how I have got his far into the review and not even mentioned that this amazing institution is also BYOB! WITHOUT, I repeat, WITHOUT a corkage fee. Absolutely fantastic. Be sure to round off your delectable feast with a coffee ceremony, or spiced tea. I truly recommend Gojo for small groups who want to try something different and experience a low-key, but certainly vibrant and hospitable evening.

We visited Mildreds in Covent Garden during our trip to London, and it completely exceeded…read moreexpectations. Widely regarded as one of the city's most popular vegan restaurants, it delivers food that is satisfying, hearty, and packed with flavour. I ordered the Chick+n Caesar Burger, which featured a plant-based chick+n patty, Caesar mayonnaise, lettuce, and red onion relish. My wife chose the Beetroot Carrot Vada Burger, made with a masala-spiced beetroot and carrot patty, mango lime slaw, green chutney, and tamarind chutney. Both burgers were served with a generous portion of fries and made for a very filling meal. What stood out most was the quality of the flavours and the portion sizes. Every ingredient felt thoughtfully chosen, and the combinations worked exceptionally well together. As someone who regularly eats meat, I was genuinely impressed by the texture and flavour of the Chick+n Caesar Burger. We also ordered two fresh juices: the Cucumber, Celery & Apple and the Pineapple, Apple, Ginger & Turmeric. Both were refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or simply looking to try something different, Mildreds is well worth a visit. The menu is creative, the food is delicious, and the overall experience demonstrates just how good plant-based dining can be. Highly recommended if you're visiting London and exploring the Covent Garden area. Service was great - super friendly staff Ambiance was nice - a chilled, quiet, progressive crowd

When we walked in....this dog lover seen a dog an was excited so I didn't realize the smell that the other two people I was with notice right away. It was a strange smell....that I can't put my nail on. After the dog lover excitement wore off I definitely smelt it. Fast forward we were not able to sit in as the owner stated she was going to close in an hour and 30 minutes and you could only do take away at that time. Was not happy about that but just went along with it. Placed out orders for a veggie platter and made sure the injera was gluten free. Walked next door to take a look while she was preparing our food for take away. Came back and the food was packed and ready. Oh and just a heads up they do take card and cash. If you have a US card her machine does take it even if she states she doesn't think it will. I did it and she was shocked lol. Food is packed and we leave. After getting back to our rooms and opening the food...that smell I was speaking about in the beginning we can all smell again. It was a unbearable smell that made it extremely difficult to eat the food. I was able to eat the injera and it really smelled and taste (maybe in my head) like the smell. I ate the veggies and even though it had a slight smell I was able to complete that but the injera was a BIG NO! All in all we could not figure out the smell. The owner was a sweet lady, but I wished she wouldn't have told us to take away as it took away from the experience. I wish I was able to give 5 stars like most folks...but I have to be honest with my experience.

Lost in the middle of an unknown neighbourhood (at least to me), Kokeb's street isn't precisely the busiest when it comes to restaurants. 18 amazing reviews and great Yelper pictures convinced me...and oh my this was a great lunch. I wanted to go for the lamb but Genetesh advised me to pick the N°21, "Spicy" beef with 1 injera and a local ethiopian beer to get it all down...perfect combo. Kokeb is all-in-one. Excellent ethiopian food comes together with the local decor & music...and Genetesh is there help you feel welcome, relaxed, at home...she'll also help you out if this is your first ethiopian experience (bye bye fork, hello right hand). A family run business with great taste & heart, and I love that.
