Wolkite Kitfo in Islington

It's been an amazing night with my friends! Our african friend brought us here and ordered all the most traditional dishes. She said this restaurant is famous in the Ethiopian community in London because is very very good and authentic :) she was actually right, the food was tasty and the atmosphere very nice and authentic! Just go there and enjoy the Ethiopian vibe!

My friend and I had an excellent time here! We ordered the sharing platter for two. The server was very attentive and friendly, when my friend said she couldn’t eat anything too spicy the lady said she’d reassure the chef made the dish less spicier than usual.The honey wine was delicious and worth trying, not too sweet and nice fermentation. When my friend had a fly dive into her wine, the server was gracious enough to give her a fresh glass at no extra charge. The injera came hot and delicious. The quality of the curries were top notch, with the ribs highly recommended. Am definitely coming back!

Updated review 26.02.2022. One star because of the extremely rude customer service. I came to eat here second time since my first visit a week earlier was very pleasant. This time the food was good again but the customer service was outrageously rude. When I asked for a side dish, I was told that I am stressing them out, even if I patiently waited my turn while they were talking in phone. Next when I asked more water, I was told that I can't ask water all the time. It is quite unbelievably outrageous if a customer cannot ask more water in the restaurant, or that customer is blamed for asking water.Review 19.02.2022: Four stars. My first visit. The food was delicious, well cooked and fresh. The customer service was friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant is very cozy. My only objection is that the portions of stews in the vegan combination dish are very very small, and will leave you hungry even if it should be a main dish and priced accordingly.

This is the first time we've tried Ethiopian food and we were delighted! The restaurant is super friendly and the food was very well priced. Loved it and we'll be back!

This is great Ethiopian food. I worked for six months in Addis Ababa and this is the best Ethiopian food I’ve eaten since I returned to the UK. And the coffee is wonderful, too

The restaurant is in the shadows of the stadium of Premier League strugglers Arsenal, and was a really interesting dining experience!Neither of us had tried Ethiopian cuisine before, and this felt very authentic - we enjoyed not being given cutlery and were keen to eat with our hands and this felt like a really enjoyable part of the experience.Our dishes all came in a big plate for sharing, and we especially enjoyed the little vegetable sides. The meat dishes were a little sweet for our tastes and could have done with a touch more spice, but it was good to try something new!Service wasnt great, and we waited about an hour to eat, and a coffee was also forgotten, but all in all this was an enjoyable meal and was definitely good value at around £60 for two including several drinks.

Absolutely delicious and freshly made food served to us with lot of love! We will definitely be regular here for sure 👍🏼🙌🏼

This place is a hidden gem. We got the platter for 3 and the lamb ribs and it was all DELICIOUS! Amazing flavours, reasonably priced and generous portions, and the staff were all super friendly! Would definitely return and recommend. Also the honey wine was really good!

I think it's the best Ethiopian restaurant in London. Recommended by my friend from back home and it's always a pleasure to go to Wolkite.

So delicious! Great waiter/host with good advice on what to order (1 x vegetarian). Lots of options including veg. Platters are large and filling 😋. Very tasty food!!!! Will defo be back
