Merkamo was the best meal we had so far in London! Thoughtfully plated and perfectly spiced, the dishes were nourishing and we were refreshed after our meal. I enjoyed the sample of all the dishes offered (red lentils, yellow lentils, beetroot, spinach, etc) in the traditional Ethiopian style. The atmosphere is peaceful right off the bustling Brick Lane. We enjoyed the relaxing music as well. ? Highly recommend this completely vegan feast.

Outstanding vegan Ethiopian food and lovely staff. Can strongly recommend the spice tea and the samosas (as well as the injera platter of course). As always with Ethiopian, the platters are shared between the whole group and are available in many different sizes.

Amazing fresh Ethiopian vegan food.
Two of us just managed the small sharing dish and the chickpea dish. Any more than that would have been too much.

I ordered the Injera Small Platter, and it was a feast for the eyes as well as the palate! The food was colorful, flavourful, and every single bite was packed with depth and authenticity. This was my first time trying injera, and I absolutely loved it ? soft, slightly tangy, and perfect with the variety of dishes.
The lentils and split peas were cooked to perfection, rich and hearty, while the ground chickpea was incredibly tasty. Ethiopian vegan cuisine is such an interesting and unique experience, and this place delivers it beautifully.
The staff were very kind, and the restaurant itself is cozy, clean, and welcoming. I highly recommend it if you?re looking for a satisfying and wholesome vegan meal in London!

Merkamo is hands down mine and my partners favourite restuarant. The staff are absolutely lovely and always greet us with great service. This is definitely a hidden gem, with great food and drinks. Absolutely love this place!

We?ve had lots of Ethiopian, and this was pretty poor. The food wasn?t very seasoned, the lentils were a bit hard, and the veg didn?t seem very fresh. Great that it?s all vegan though!

Glad this place is vegan! But the food unfortunately was not very flavorful or tasty, especially when compared to other Ethiopian restaurants I?ve been to (especially the Wthiopian restaurants in DC). Basically all of the dishes (misir wot, shiro wot, etc) felt unflavorful and didn?t taste great. Service and atmosphere were fine though.

Tasty food, calming atmosphere. Really appreciate all the attention to detail the owner had with regards to the design.

I?ve eaten Ethiopian food all around London, and Merkamo is by far the best!! The quality of the ingredients is just unparalleled, and the staff so so so lovely. Highly recommend the Merkamo Special at the stall in Spitalfields market or the restaurant!
