Lalibela

Friendly staff, brilliant food and Ethiopian comics on the wall!

Quite a long wait to get served, but when it arrived the food was delicious. Atmospheric place. Good value too. Will definitely go again. A very good experience.

The food is really good and authentic (I've been to Ethiopia so can confirm ;) ). The staff are very helpful and friendly and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere.

Overall OK. Good service but food not especially tasty. I would have preferred both the "pancake" and the plate to be hot. Atmosphere was good

The restaurant had warm and colourful décor, the food was tasty and the service was good. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian tastes were well covered, and I would happily recommend this restaurant to others.

Excelent food and atmosphere! Great Service, you need to be patient as food is cooked on the order, it will take a while. It's my second visit and would go again whenever in London

The food is wonderful and staff are lovely and very friendly.

Incredible food at a super reasonable price. The staff were so lovely and attentive. It was really relaxed and fun. We went as a big group (8 people) and the service couldn't have been better. Great menu selection (especially if you have anyone at your table that is vegetarian/vegan or glutenfree). Cheap and fantastic drinks menu. Love this place!! Will definitely be back!

A really authentic Ethiopian dining experience. Friendly service and generous portions. Serves a number of traditional vegan-friendly and gluten free options along with the fantastic drink tej.

Delicious and interesting food, nicely decorated and a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Excellent restaurant, fabulous dishes on the menu. I used to come in the 90"s and came back last week during a short trip to London, and that's the only things that has not change in London ! which is good ! The cafe is fabulous.

This place is a little gem, very friendly staff and great food. The sharing plate is great and very rich. Only recommendation is to go early as it is a tiny place and gets quite noisy as people start flowing.

Great food served with smile. It was a really good moment. I recommend the coffee ceremony. We certainly come back but not now as we live in france !!

Food is legendary. Very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. I love this place.

We enjoyed our visit to Lalibela on 23rd April - though we were a little disappointed that they were not celebrating St George' Day (given that he is patron saint of Ethiopia as well as England). They were out of St George beer too - a delivery hadn't turned up - but the alternative Ethiopian brew, Amber, turned out to have a picture of George and the Dragon on the label anyway, which pleased me. Lots of fascinating things to look at downstairs and the food was great too. We will come again when next in Tufnell Park!

Wonderful food, lovely staff and most of the menu is gluten free. Service was a little slow at times, as a family run business I think they might struggle with a lot of covers, but the staff are so nice about everything you don't really notice.

it was a reasonable meal but expensive and didnt like the service charge.l dont normally frequent restaurants that make a service charge out of principle.ln short l have had better meals that have cost less and although the meal was fine it didnt warrant a second apperance

Brilliant food and brilliant service. This is by far the best Ethiopian restaurant around.

My friend and I had a lovely, relaxed Wednesday dinner at Lalibela. The food and wine were absolutely delicious and the atmosphere with incense and traditional African crafts on display really took us a thousand miles away from rainy London. The waiting staff was friendly although quite laid-back which meant slightly slower service than we're used to, so I would recommend this place for slow dinners in good company (they have great dishes for sharing, too!)

We had a really nice time here. The sour bread (injera) took a little bit of getting used to but it was fun and delicious. We had a platter which was probably the best way to have a little taste of everything. Milk and honey cake for dessert also delicious! Service was very polite and great. Thanks for a fun evening!

Ask for coffee at the table. Food was great. Service a little slow

Lalibela is a very interesting restaurant. The food was special and excellent, and even healthy, the atmosphere relaxing, the staff friendly. I highly recommend a visit!

Very plesent experience, staff was very friendly and made us feel comfortable and welcome. Cultural escape with a culinary twist. Would recomend it for anyone looking for a out of the ordinary dining experience.

Great food, lovely staff and nice atmosphere. So happy we visited here, definitely worth taking the time to check it out. Will definitely be back again

The food was delicious and the portions enormous and the decor gave it an authentic feel. Service could have been quicker but I strongly recommend.

Good impressions comes when you enter restaurant (cosy and warm). Enjoyed food and staff were very friendly and positive.

Nice relaxed atmosphere. Polite staff offering recommendations as to what to eat. Quick service, drinks topped up regularly. Food was excellent. Will definitely come back!

The food was really good and the service very friendly, just prepare for it if it is not too fast paced. I will definitely go again

Nice people, but didn't appear to have our res...and no alcohol license.we left but perhaps in the future the new owners will have got things organized a bit better.

Wonderful, friendly and so tasty as always. Will be a 6 when they get a drinks licence. Thank you so much for a lovely evening.

Really tasty food- we had the vegetarian player/njera. Great interiors (rustic, full of African art/Knick Knacks). Service was good, at times a tad slow as the restaurant filled up quickly. As management had recently changed, they were unable to serve alcohol. Overall would highly recommend- we will be back!!

They don't serve alcohol but it still appears in the online and hard copy menu. When questioned, the manager said it was due to new management and the license being recently removed but still stopped us for bringing our own without a good argument. We also waited 55 minutes to get the starters...they pretty much forgot about our order😞. Food was good though

Good food and ambience, service was very attentive. Sadly no mention about suspended license prior to our visit so don't count on wine for the time being. Worth a visit though!

Great food and even better service. Would definitely recommend this restaurant though I must admit that I don't like the smell or smoke of incense so that was a bit of a turn off but the staff moved it once I asked them to do so.

A fun restaurant, new flavours and textures. Recommended. Service was a little slow and there was no alcohol on sale but the latter is temporary.

Lovely staff. The food is fresh and seems authentic. It's a difference experience as you eat using sour dough pancakes to scoop up the food with your hand. We had to wait over half an hour for the food. The restaurant did not have a drinks license at present. Pleasant evening.
