    Keren View is the best place I know of around Holloway road for simple and delicious vegan food. We love the meals and always feel so well looked after when we come to Karen view. Zeba and the rest of the crew are absolutely amazing. I especially recommend this place for groups - I was with a group of 8 volunteers and we had lunch at Keren View a couple of times a week for 6 weeks and it worked perfectly. We prearranged meals so that they were ready when we arrived, and we knew how much we'd be paying (which was very helpful for us as a charity). I couldn't recommend this place more. Thank you Zeba! Vegetarian options: Perfect for vegans!

    What a lovely independent restaurant within walking distance from Drayton Park train station. Note that the front door can be a bit stiff but just give it a good push during opening hours and it'll budge. Upon entering, you'll observe the authentic furnishings and the real hanging vines on the walls - this modest establishment quickly reveals itself to be run by a gentle yet multi-talented lady who readily plays all the roles of owner, manager, chef and waitress. Seating can accomodate at least 30 people but rather unexpectedly, the place was empty at prime dining time on a Friday evening - usually this is a red flag, but as you'll discover, it's completely undeserved. It was great for my dining partner and I as we received a very personalised service! There's also no music playing which is refreshingly peaceful and allowed us to have a conversation. Onto the food: if you're not familiar with Eritrean cuisine but you are with Indian, you'll feel right at home here. We indulged in the course for two which includes three mains and either pitta bread, injera or basmati rice. For our mains, we opted for atter (chickpeas), bamya (okra) and ades (a spicy daal-like lentil dish) - the portion sizes of which were slightly on the smaller side, but all tasty and rather more-ish - rest assured you'll be mopping the plate clean. These were accompanied by a sourdough injera which was plentiful compared to the mains, and had a satisfying sour tang to them. We also ordered a brownie for dessert and a couple of drinks between us, yet somehow altogether the bill worked out to less than £20 per person - a very decent price for London! Give this restaurant some love if you're looking for a cuisine and dining experience off the beaten trail. Recommended! Vegetarian options: All menu items are 100% vegan 🌱
