A much-loved Ethiopian restaurant in Upper Holloway, this family-run affair offers food from generations of passed-on kitchen wisdom, with each dish embodying one family’s commitment to the craft of Ethiopian cooking. Their most popular is doro wot, a flavoursome chicken stew served with injera, which goes down extremely well with tej (sweet honey wine). Keep an eye on their menu as they’re always adding new dishes or trying out seasonal specials, like quanta fitfit, specially dried meat cooked in a spicy sauce and mixed with injera.
Time Out tip
Wolkite’s set menus are a steal, especially if you’re dining as a pair - nab the mahberawi for a mixed platter of beef, chicken, lamb, cottage cheese and vegetables.
