Delicious and friendly!

I was very excited to try Merkamo and was not disappointed at all! I went for the Merkamo special platter for one which had little bit of everything, and I also ordered the samosas. It was all very flavourful and brilliant to try. The portion sizes are very generous, I struggled to finish! What really makes this place though is the wonderful staff, they are so so welcoming. I was eating out by myself on a Monday night, and often feel a bit awkward or like I'm in the way, but I was so immediately welcomed and comforted it immediately put me at ease. Thanks :)

Pros: Flavourful food, Welcoming staff, Funky interior design

Great meal

I've visited Merkamo's stall in Spitalfields many times so it was great to sit down in their restaurant. The food was fabulous as always and I enjoyed a cinnamon and cardamom tea, my friend tried it and had to order one for herself. The server was lovely and we had a good chat with her. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Amazing flavours, friendly and helpful staff, be prepared to tuck in with your fingers! You’ll eat the rainbow and do your gut a favour with the wonderful fermented injera.

My favourite restaurant in London

I've tried Merkamo first when it was only a stall at Spitalfields Market. So happy to see what it's become. Real food for the soul, loveliest of owners, authentic Ethiopian experience. Love it here!
