Amen Catering — Restaurant in London

I must have walked past this place 4-5 times today trying to make up my mind what to eat for lunch down Maltby Street Market. I've never seen Ethiopian Cuisine anywhere else but it kept catching my eye so eventually made my mind up to try it.

My choice was the Mixed Combo of Beef/Chicken dishes which came with rice and a choice of 2 sides.

If you asked me what the best meal you can get on Maltby Street is, I'd have to say it's Amen's vegan combo: a selection of moderately to strongly spiced vegetable dishes served with rice or the preferable injeera bread and an optional very spicy sauce.

[Goes well with a Bad Brownie to compensate...] The Amen team are extremely friendly, efficient, and lovely to talk with. I have seen so many people asking for free samples, scared of committing to an unfamiliar cuisine. If you read this review, don't worry, buy first and then try. You will not be...
