Qype: Adulis in London

London - Restaurants - African

This time yesterday if you asked me to point to Eritrea on a world map, i probably would have directed you to a small village just outside Hartlepool. I hadn't the foggiest where this place was (a bit naive, i know). But now i have been enlightened! Eritrea is a tiny little country in North-East Africa just above Ethiopa and if Adulis is anything to go by, they have the amazing cuisine!

Adulis was recommended to me by a friend, who heard about this place from her Mum. The restaurant itself is on Brixton road with Oval being the nearest tube station. I'd definitely recommend trying "Eritrea's no. 1 Organic beer" called "Asmara". Very nice and infinitely better than some of the cruddy beers you find in East Africa. The food itself was delicious. There were 5 of us so we ordered the sharing plate for 5 which basically gives the chef creative license to produce a platter suitable for a bunch hungry people.

We were not disappointed. Excellent lentils, lamb, chicken, some sort of egg thing and some really interesting sour bread. All very different and delicious! Service at times was a bit slack which is why i am only awarding 4 stars. Nevertheless, i will definitely be coming back.
