Historical version 1 of Beza Ethiopian Food, SE17 1AY (view current version)

  • Unit 14 The Artworks, Walworth Road, SE17 1AY

This is an Ethiopian place, I presume a cafe, in the Artworks, a cluster of shipping containers associated with the gentrification of the Elephant and Castle. It delivers via Deliveroo and UberEats. secretlondon has only had the delivery.

Like most Ethiopian food it is very vegan friendly. However if the menu on their website is up to date you pay a lot more for it to be delivered - a large meat dish in the menu is £8, the same delivered is £15.50 with a £2.50 delivery fee on top. All of the online delivery services charge the restaurants a fee (probably a percentage) but I've not seen it passed onto the customer quite like that before. JustEat requires restaurants to charge the same, so in their case other customers are subsidising those who order online.

I've had a couple of deliveries from here. You get more options when you order via UberEats - large portions and a mixture of dishes. It comes in a box which is lined with injeera. A portion of spicy sauce is provided separately. I found it a bit under seasoned for my taste - its not bland, but it's more bland than I'd expect for this cuisine. This may well fit with it being targeted at a non-Ethiopian audience. It has the option of rice instead of injeera and according to some reviews serves hummus.
