Traditional Plate

Sorry about the terrible photo! I obviously blame the lighting! I had been to Merkamo's stall in Spitalfields market for many years so I was delighted when I saw they now have a bricks and mortar restaurant off Brick Lane. It's really nicely decorated and our server couldn't have been more pleasant! We went for a medium traditional plate to share and the food was so good! Three different types of lentils and various vegetables all loaded onto injera, what's not to love! If you haven't tried Ethiopian food before you absolutely must! A vegan heaven!

It’s cute how they roll the #injera like this. The traditional plate has a mix of many lentil dishes. It’s #protein packed and fiber packed. A fully vegan food stand in spitalfields market. #ethiopian #supportsmallbusiness

Great dish, full of beautiful flavours and colours. Minimal spice level. We ordered a large to share which was a perfect portion size.

I love this dish. Used to get regularly and this is my first time since the before days. The injera is gorgeous, all the different lentils are tasty and protein packed.
