Kokeb Ethiopian Restaurant in Islington

We were welcomed and made to feel at home right away. This was a really good experience, I felt like I was in the owners living room and having a real Ethiopian experience.The food was tasty and had a real home cooked feel about it. The owner knew all her customers and did everything by herself which was very impressive.A real cultural experience and hopefully will be back for the coffee soon.Thank you

My friends and I loved this place. The host was the best!! Super lovely and friendly and the food was amazing. Incredibly wholesome and tasty. My favourite sides were the veggie ones.Amazing value for money too! I was shocked when I looked at the bill!!!

Amazing food! Getenesh is a lovely lady, offering delish Ethiopian food in this space for over 20 years. Well worth a visit and good value for money!

Tasty food delicious Good customer service affordable price & large portion of food. I will be back very soon & I will recommend friends and family to go there for a nice dinner 🍽

This lovely place is full of character with such a great host. She clearly puts a lot of time and love in to her cooking and business. She is very accommodating and friendly. And the food was delicious. A recommended experience for anyone who is interested to try Ethiopian food for the first time.

I cannot recommend this place enough. It's tasty. It's reasonably priced. It's authentic, home made food. But most importantly, it's the lady who works there that makes this place. Not only does she work hard to cook and wait herself, but she does so with a caring and human attitude that makes you feel like you are visiting family for dinner. Carry on Kokeb, I will definitely be back!PS: I also really appreciated how COVID safe the place was. I was a bit worried going to a restaurant for the first time after restrictions ended, but the owner was wearing a mask the whole time and was super considerate. Thank you!

My second ever Ethiopian experience. Cor Blimey! Tasty would be an understatement. Not only did my pallet have a revelation but Auntie Kokeb made me feel like I visiting my mother for dinner. What an amazing woman with a great story. We asked what she recommended and she asked all the other customers what they liked the most that night and then came back to us and told us to get that. Will definitely be popping into this little gem again.

Looking forward to come back to this relaxed and welcoming restaurant, with a warm and friendly atmosphere.The lady who owns the restaurant works really hard to do everything herself, from cooking to waitressing and everything in between.She was really helpful and recommended some dishes we could have on the platter to share, and we were very pleased we chose to go with her guidance as the food was beautiful, especially the lentil dish and the mince.Next time we hope to try 'tibs' as they sound incredible.Definitely recommend!

Absolutely amazing. The lady running the place has a heart of gold and spent time with us to genuinely understand our taste, budget, etc (which was good as we had no idea what we were doing)We trusted her judgement and the food was to die for! My friend didn't like the bread which has a slight vinegary taste but I thought it complemented the food so well. I'll recommend to all my friends and make the trip back soon

An absolute gem of a local restaurant! The place is run by an amazing woman. Beautiful Ethiopian food. She can always recommend great dishes to try. A fun and delicious option for date night or dinner out with a few friends.
