Ethiopian restaurant on New Kent Road between Elephant and Castle and the Bricklayers Arms roundabout. It has live entertainment at weekends and the main eating area surrounds a space in front of a stage with traditional instruments and neon Ge'ez characters on the wall. A leaflet secretlondon has says they have weekend shows with "full traditional instruments and clothes". Some of the tables are 'traditional' with different seats and circular tables.

secretlondon popped in here on a whim one Monday evening in May 2010. I had some spiced tea (£1.50) and awaze tibs (£8.75) which arrived on the traditional injeera. It was nice and spicy.

There was background recorded Ethiopian music and it was quite dark. They are licensed but I didn't have any.

secretlondon liked the food and would like to try some more and see the live entertainment.
