Asmara (Brixton)

• My mother in law is in London for a few weeks and that always means a daily overdose of great food
• My first experience of Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine was as a college student in Boston
• I remember falling instantly in love with the flavours and the unique
• The cuisine is very similar with a noticeable difference in the names of dishes on the menu
• If you are unfamiliar with food from this part of the world
• We ordered the Asmara vegetarian platter with a variety of vegetables and lentil based curries including the delicious Shiro (pureed spiced chickpeas)
• The service is quick but warm and the dishes are very reasonably priced
• Highly recommended the next time you are in the mood for something off the beaten path
