Adulis

Dark wooden fixtures give this Eritrean restaurant near Brixton a quietly palatial feel, the kind of room that makes a Tuesday feel like a proper occasion. The menu is scaled by party size, from solo plates to feasts for eight, built around injera, slow-cooked vegetable stews, smoked dried beef, and grilled red snapper seasoned with Eritrean herbs. Food writer Riaz Phillips singles it out among the city's East African spots.
