Addis Ababa - London

Our second visit to this restaurant was a delight! Our daughter raved about it, and now we understand why. The atmosphere, delicious food, and attentive service made it a fantastic experience. Plus, ending the meal with the aromatic coffee bean presentation was the perfect touch. Can't wait to return!

We’ve been looking for different taste experiences lately. Tonight we tried Ethiopian fare. What a great experience! Samson is a very gracious host. We began with a beautiful herbed tea. Dinner was served on platters, with a selection of eight different dishes. They were served with spongy pan bread. To eat, we tore pieces of bread and scooped up the food. Aside from the fun of eating in a new way, each dish was flavour packed. There was a rich variety of spices, all very nicely balanced. Lentils, a type of fermented cabbage salad similar to sauerkraut, collard greens, sweet mashed split peas, chicken, and lovely spicy beef were cooked in sauces that we soaked up in the fresh made bread. This was an amazing, filling meal. You really need to give this a try! Samson, thank you for the wonderful meal. We will be back!

Incredible experience! A random date night turned into a romantic evening and the tone was set during dinner. The food was amazing! The server was patient and understanding as it was our first time. I can not say enough good things about this place. Please, do yourself a favour and come eat here!

Tonight, I got to eat at a special restaurant. One that delivers all a restaurant could ever offer. Its name is TG’s Addis Ababa Restaurant. The appetizer I always get is Chechebsa. It is the single best appetizer I have had in London, period. It’s made of flat bread, butter, berbere, beans, and honey. It all combines to a sweet, chewy, addictive taste. My main was the Shuro Wott. In this dish, seasoned and powdered chickpeas are cooked in a mild sauce and Ethiopian spices. This is all served with injera bread and greens. Injera is a spongey flatbread that you use to pick up other ingredients and eat. The prices are affordable. All the appetizers (including Chechebsa) cost less than $3.50, but most mains cost around $16.00. Inside the restaurant, you get a sense of Ethiopia’s culture. Everywhere you look there are items like paintings, wood carvings, tea pots, and portraits of Ethiopians. The owner and server always take care of me and even gave me extra food to take home, free of charge. TG’s Addis Ababa Restaurant is a jewel in London’s culinary world. And they rightly deserve more business.

A blissful soul enriching experience. I would call this a spa of food. Everything from food to ambiance to the great care that they took for us. It was amazing. We didn't feel like we were in London, we felt like we were in Africa. The chef/owner came and met us and was so hospitable, something very very rare to find in North America. I would go there everytime I am in London.
