Flamingo Restaurant
Experience authentic ethiopian quisine
Welcome to Our Restaurant
Ethiopian cuisine (Amharic: የኢትዮጵያ ምግብ?) characteristically consists of vegetable and often very spicy meat dishes.

We fancied a change and had heard of this place. I don’t know how authentic it is as I have nothing to compare it to, however it was full of Ethiopians having lunch, thus seems fairly authentic to me....Read moresteve_e_red

First time for us and Ethiopian food, and a rather nice experience it was too. Food extremely flavourful, plenty of it, and loved the Injera. Pity the Ethiopian beer had ran out as would have been nic...Read moreAnnieO844

I always welcome eating Ethiopian food but have it far too rarely (but there are an increasing number of restaurants in London). I had the Doro (chicken) Wot and Shiro (chickpeas?) served with injera...Read moreMagus2001

Visiting regularly food usually very good bit slow service. Nice atmosphere. The best Ethiopian in this area probably. They could deliver home 😀Read moretravelwithme247

The restaurant was very hot and didn't have air condition. The waitress took some time to return to our table but when the food came it was quite good, tasty, and filling. They have gluten free option...Read moreMelissa M

The meal was excellent, I must say, the service wasn't too bad and the food didn't take too long. On ringing to book with the taste card the first 2 people that picked up didn't understand English so ...Read moreJamesDUKz

This was my first Ethopian meal and I can't wait to go back for more. Everything was delicious with an amazing blend of flavours - even the bread. Service isn't fast but it isn't that slow either. We ...Read moreredrover045

We decided to try Flamingo after reading the recent positive reviews on here, and were extremely disappointed. We would not eat here again. The food was mediocre at best, and the service was terrible ...Read moreSpamandiz

This tired looking restaurant was a lovely surprise! I had never tried injera - the unleavened, fermented bread of Ethiopia and it did not look appetising at all when it arrived. However, I am glad I ...Read moreNorma H

We thought the food really very good (we already know Ethiopian food) and would go back often - but the pricing is wrong. The £32 price tag for the Flamingo Special is outrageous as it is not plentifu...Read moreMoira D

Sorry that others had poor experiences here. My (Ethiopian) friends and I (non-Ethiopian) had lovely injera and two meat dishes. Sure, the service is a bit relaxed but they are very family friendly an...Read moreFlamingo Inc © 2021 . All rights reserved
