Running both a restaurant on Hanbury Street and a stall inside Old Spitalfields Market just down the road, the Merkamo Ethiopian team specialise in traditional Ethiopian dishes, and it’s all 100% vegan (most of it is also gluten-free). The lentils, spinach, okra, soya, rice, couscous, salad and injera combo is always a winner – healthy, filling and it doesn’t break the bank.
