Lalibela

Lovely food and great service! They were kind enough to make us a dish that technically they were not serving that evening. I highly recommend!

Great food, atmosphere, service, child friendly and superb value in a cultured setting.

very special and authentic cusine！nice coffee as well！great value！will come again

Have been here many times - beautiful place, beautiful people and food is amazing, would highly recommend.

Scrumptious traditional Ethiopian food. Great warm service. Must visit Restaurant.

Incredible food and atmosphere and the waitress was lovely. Amazing value too.

Slow service and mediocre food; vegetables apparently to be from a can and the meat was tough and not well seasoned.

Great food everytime. We have never chosen a meal option we weren’t happy with. Good customer service too, can’t go wrong chosing Lalibela!

Great atmosphere and lovely food. Would have liked some water to clean fingers and someone to ask if we would like desert. Will definitely go back

We went to this restaurant several times and in all these occasions we managed to find very good quality food and a nice setting. The personnel is quite helpful and friendly. Prices, too, are quite reasonable so I would definitely recommend it.

Excellent food and lovely restaurant at surprisingly low price. Service was a little bit slow but food worth the wait. i highly recommend this place!

Really beautiful setting for dinner. Service was friendly and polite. We ordered a platter and there were lots of dishes to try. Reasonably priced as well.

great food, good atmosphere and very nice staff. I definitely recommend

Three of us had dinner at Lalibela last Friday and had a great evening. The food was delicious and the staff were charming and helpful. We will be going back soon.

Excellent food! Very tasty and very well presented on the platter. Staff are very friendly and service was good. Enjoyed the whole experience of Ethiopian food.

I had a great experience. The food was fresh and very good. Ambient was very welcoming and the staff too. Highly recommended. I'll come back soon.

You shouldn't have to pay with cash, it's a bit outraged. Likewise the customers assistance should have been able to explain whay to eat and how to eat the type of foods . The pankcake was cold and sour and I didn't enjoy it. Customer service needs improvement .

Great food in interesting environment. Plenty of vegetarian options and gluten-free for a big group of friends . We had some traditional spicy lamb, I totally recommend it!

We come back to lalibela whenever someone comes to visit us in London. This time around was my mother in law, and we had a great time. Amazing food, quick and kind service. Quite possibly the best Ethiopian restaurant in London.

Really nice food and something I had never tried before! Nice people and service and decoration. Would recommend a visit! We had a really nice time.

Friendly Ethiopian family-run restaurant. Nice atmosphere thanks to authentic decoration and music.We had 2 sharing Vegan platters for four people. Delicious food. Great range of dishes for vegetarians as well as vegans. We enjoyed the experience and will return

lovely good value food, really warm cosy atmosphere and friendly staff . . highly recommended. the sharing platters are a great way to try different dishes . . and its fun to share

A really great restaurant, and one I will just keep coming back to. Great food, lovely atmosphere but slower service, so make sure you have a whole evening to enjoy it.

I like the food, the service, the decoration and the atmosphere. Everything here is perfect! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to people interested in African food and culture.

very friendly and helpful staff who weren’t over attentive which i prefer! very tasty food very relaxed atmosphere and we could really take our time and not feel rushed

Absolutely incredible food; will definitely be returning. Only slight downside was the service was a little slow, so not an ideal destination if you have time constraints.

This has always been one of the best Ethiopian restaurants in London but I have only been a handful of times due to worries about the price. How silly I was! It was a joy to return - the food is excellent but the prices are now extremely reasonable. Whereas having started off the most expensive of its peers they have subsequently increased their price such that Lalibela is now below average. Three of us ate and drank for under £50. The food covers the core of Ethiopian cuisine but also some dishes less seen. It was disappointing there was no Tej but there were other drinks to whet your appetite. The decor remains fabulous. Service was quite slow and disjointed but that adds to the charm. Go with plenty of time and you'll have a great meal.

This is a popular restaurant in tuffnul park so recommend booking. It has a great relaxed atmosphere with good survice. A good selection of veggie options and all delicious. Great place to go for a relaxed evening.

I phoned and left a message to book a table for 5 people and asked them to confirm because our guests were coming from far away. They didn't confirm and didn't answer the phone once the restaurant had opened or return any calls. That's why I booked through Quandoo - the website at least responded. Although the food was very good, the service was casual, unhelpful and uninterested. We finished our main course at 9.30, 30 mins before closing time and the waiter made it clear he didn't want us to order desserts or drinks. So we left and went to the pub instead. Lalibela used to be a welcoming friendly restaurant. It was neither of these last night.

The food was great as it has always been. Service was a bit slow but friendly. It could be because there were only two of them serving. There seems to be less African decor though compared to before. Otherwise great food and value for money.

Great choice for vegetarians and great value as the portions are large. Really tasty authentic Ethiopian food.

Great food and lovely staff! We had a really nice evening there and enjoyed a variety of dishes that I’ve never tried before. Gluten free injera too!

Amazing restaurant with great service. We loved our food and appreciated that the restaurant took the time to talk to us and adjust our orders to reflect our dietary requirements and at times, just odd preferences. Definitely would recommend!!!

Excelent Ethiopian food and atmosphere. Very friendly staff, good Ethiopian beer and traditional wines on the menu and a wide rande of dishes - you want to try them all!

This was an amazing experience, very casual and very cosy. Would recommend to book since people were coming in and waiting to be seated. Had an amazing vegan sharing platter and the staff were lovely enough to give us the last two lentil samosas on the house since they had run out of a full portion. Lovely staff, lovely food.

By far one of the best Ethiopian restaurants, I've been to and I've tried quite a few. Quality is great and taste will want you coming back all the time.

Lovely Authentic restaurant. Low key and very relaxed evening with an amazing choice of food for meat, fish and great for vegetarians. Great value with warm, friendly service. I’d definitely recommend Lalibella

Food was great and the setting very nice. Good value for money, also. We will definitely be visiting this place again in the near future.

Went in the evening with family - very friendly staff and atmosphere, lovely decor. Food was delicious and fresh, with lots of options for vegetarians and vegans. Will be returning soon!

Delicious as always; grateful and mystified that we could get a seat so easily on a Friday night. Maybe it's the World Cup working in my favor?

I once adored Lalibella; now less so. this was my first time after 3 years and much has changed. We went there on Saturday around 7 and were told upstairs is closed and will open at 8. We were seated downstair, where staff were happily busing themselves with drink deliveries, using front door and not minding guests at all. We ordered coffee before the main meal as I love the coffee the serve there, and the ceremony. I specifically asked to give us at least 20 minutes to enjoy the coffee before the meal is served. However, the food was served 3 minutes after the coffee arrived. and this wasn't the food I expected. We ordered a shared platter, and the food was served on injera and not in the lovely iron pots it used to be served in. Needless to say, it got cold quite quickly (and it didn't look great, either). We also had to request anothet plate with injera for the othet dish we ordered, as the waitress insisted one plate is enough. No, I said, I ordered two dishes, may I please have two injera plates. The second dish was served in the pot, but then she put the contents on tje plate (annoyed?) and took the pot away. So before we had coffee, this wascold, too. Not a very enjoyable everning. Gone are the warm towels to clean hands aftewards, too. Wil I come again? The food was ok and the restaurant itself is lovely, but for showing off or celebrating I will go to other places.

Amazing flavourful Ethiopian food in Tufnell Park. The restaurant is a nice environment decorated with traditional decor. The servers are all kind and pleasant. The Timatim tomato salad is wonderful.

Always an amazing meal. Every time I come I fall in love with the foot all over again, it really is a special place with a special atmosphere.

Charming service in a relaxed ambience. The food was excellent - a real taste of Ethiopia. the only thing that was less than perfect was that not all the items of the main course arrived together. They were, though, all delightfully freshly cooked. It won't deter me from looking forward to going again.

The food was excellent, but it took absolutely forever to arrive. Service was OK but largely inattentive. If the food had arrived in a timely way (in 15 minutes instead of 45) it would have been a perfectly lovely dinner.

A good authentic Ethiopian restaurant recommended by an Ethiopian. We loved the food and environment - we will definitely be going back again and again!

Been coming here for almost 20 years! They change chefs every 4 years and the current guys are fantastic! Delicious - especially the Beg Wot.

Delicious, Big servings ! Beautiful atmosphere in a beautifully decorated restaurant. I will be coming back. The staff are good. Very good for vegans, lots of choice.

The best Ethiopian food in London with great service :) Friendly staff and flavoursome food. What more could you ask for? Very close to Tufnell Park station too.
