If you’re familiar with Eritrean food, you’re likely to enjoy Mosob – but if you’re new to the cuisine, all the better. Service goes beyond cheery and attentive to positively educational, with a lesson in the communal eating style for all who need it, and a book on Eritrean architecture offered to look at between courses. There are African and European beers and a decent cocktail list (including the ‘sexy Mosob’), while the food centres on the staple that is injera: pleasingly sour, stretchy flatbread used to mop up meat stews, spiced split peas and vegetables. For the indecisive there are well-priced set menus covering the most popular dishes, with ample choice for vegetarians. Starters of crispy falafel and veggie injera rolls make a great introduction, served with a fiery dip and yoghurt. Next comes a belt-busting platter of lamb, chicken, split pea and veg stews, served just as happily with rice and a fork for those who don’t want to get hands-on. The meat is tender, the flavours fragrant and the textures deliciously varied. Regulars drop in through the evening, each time to a rapturous welcome. Service can be slow, and you’re seated pretty close to other diners, but that’s all the more reason to settle in for the night and make friends.

Truly special. Great food, even better people. A family-owned restaurant, our waitress (the daughter) was a real charmer who made us feel welcome and gave us sound advice about the food and about Eritrea. The food is spicy, the music is great and the decor simple. Very reasonably priced.

Fantastic food, friendly people, great value for money. We always eat too much, and never get enough. The locale may not be that poetic but the tibs, wot and kitfo (have it raw. trust me.), the amazing coffee roasted in front of your eyes and the laidback atmosphere are something for which I would travel FAR.
