Nestled in the heart of Oval, just on the outskirts of Brixton, London, Adulis Eritrean

Restaurant offers an authentic and delightful escape to the culinary traditions of Eritrea.

Since its establishment in 1996, Adulis has been celebrated for its commitment to

delivering an exceptional dining experience, blending flavorful dishes with a warm,

welcoming atmosphere that transports you straight to Eritrea.

Upon entering Adulis, you are greeted with a tastefully decorated interior, adorned with

Eritrean and Ethiopian art and photographs. This attention to detail in decor not only

enhances the ambiance but also provides an immersive cultural experience.

Cleanliness is paramount here, and the restaurant maintains a pristine environment,

ensuring a comfortable dining experience for all patrons.

Adulis prides itself on its menu, which showcases the best of Eritrean and Ethiopian

cuisine. One of the highlights is the Injera with Tsebhi, a traditional dish that is central to

Eritrean dining. Injera, a tangy, sourdough pancake made from Taff flour, is served as the

base for Tsebhi, a savory stew that can be made with beef, chicken, mutton, or

vegetables. The beauty of this dish lies in its communal nature, as diners tear off pieces

of injera and use it to scoop up the flavorful stews, all enjoyed without the use of cutlery.

For those new to Eritrean cuisine, the meat and vegetable Kirchat is highly

recommended. This dish offers a generous sampling of various stews and is perfect for

sharing. The Adulis Mies, an in-house honey wine, is a must-try accompaniment that

enhances the flavors of the meal and adds a touch of sweetness to the dining

experience.

The menu at Adulis also features an impressive variety of vegetarian options, ensuring

that there is something for everyone. From the creamy Hoummous to the seafood

platter and the Adulis spiced meat, each dish is thoughtfully prepared and presented.

The spiced meat, served on a charcoal heater, is particularly noteworthy for its rich

flavors and aromatic spices.

Getting to Adulis is convenient, especially if you take the Tube to Oval Station on the

Northern Line. From there, it’s a short walk across Clapham Road towards Brixton Road,
