5 /5 Abraham Solomon: Lovely food and good service I recommended you to try it and have good time with plenty space to have gerat time with your family and friends h

1 /5 Hisham Alharbi: Really really bad. £15 chewy meet with no flavor.

5 /5 Will OConnell: Delicious. We had a mix of vegetable dishes on the pancakes with a spicy chicken dish. Very nicely cooked. Not at all oily, I suspect quite healthy. A lot of food for us so we brought home enough for another meal. Simple charming restaurant with delightful service. Great value. Choice of of beers. Well be going back.

5 /5 Derek Roberts: If youre looking to explore London and crave something flavorful, check out Elim Restaurant, an Eritrean gem. The owner is welcoming and ready to suggest dishes if youre undecided. I personally recommend the white tibs, red tibs, or shiro. For a bit of everything, ask for the bayanatu (mixed platter). Though theres a less favorable review about their English breakfast, my interaction with the owner leads me to believe its an outlier. So, give it a try and support this local spot, especially as many restaurants are still rebounding from COVID-19. Enjoy great food and contribute to a business with a heart.

5 /5 Spencer: An amazing cultural experience! I attended on a Sunday evening where they had a party downstairs with people wearing traditional dresses, a great never before seen insight into a unique culture. The music (from speakers) spoke in a foreign language and so did the people in the restaurant, the art on the walls were distinct, the table mats had character and I dare even the air felt different! A truly transporting experience, couldnt guess I was in Hammersmith from sitting in Elim! The food was incredibly unique. I had the Lamb Zgni which was very filling. The dish is served on a silver platter (literally) and I got the chance to traditionally eat with my hands which was a pleasant new way to consume food, I noticed I would take time to sense the texture more and by the end of the meal I got pretty good with my hands! The lamb itself was immaculate, soft and melted clean off the bone, I got to suck out the bone marrow which was surprisingly different and went very well with the stewed chilli paste. The taste of the lamb Zgni had a beautiful complexion of tangy lemony spice that caught me by surprise, the intense taste was extremely pleasurable and combined with the Enjera ( a foamy thin pancake-ish flour) created a well harmonised balance. They provided a complimentary welcome of vegetables which I really appreciated, the dark greens had a distinct sweetness I particularly enjoyed. Being a budgeted student myself, Id say this £12 experience was absolutely worth it. If youre looking for a delicious unique experience, Elim is a great choice.
