Lalibela

The aroma of incense & spices hits you when you step inside this two-floor Ethiopian restaurant, where exotic decor & African artefacts add to the atmosphere. Overlook starters, as main courses arrive in huge portions: piping-hot, cauldron-like pots full of spicy, rich meat stews that are spooned onto torn pieces of spongy injeera (an Ethiopian flat bread) then rolled up & popped in the mouth. It’s hearty, filling stuff with a fiery kick that really gets the tastebuds going. Staff are sweet natured & happy to help with ordering, while the wine list is short, cheap & full of chunky wines that suit the food. A great local, but also worth the journey if you’re after something a little bit different.
