Yeshi Ethiopian Cuisine is a neighbourhood restaurant at 328 Hornsey Road in north London. Opened in 2019, it presents traditional Ethiopian cooking in a warm, unpretentious dining room where sharing food from a common platter is central to the experience.
Injera provides the foundation of many meals, its gently sour flavour and soft, porous texture designed to carry richly seasoned sauces. Diners can use pieces of the flatbread to gather lentils, vegetables and slow cooked stews, experiencing several flavours and textures in each mouthful.
Meat dishes include preparations such as lamb awaze tibs, where spice and the heat of the pan create a robust main course. Vegan combinations are equally important, bringing together pulses, greens and vegetable dishes associated with Ethiopia’s fasting traditions rather than treating them as an afterthought.
The generous platters make Yeshi especially rewarding for groups who want to explore the menu together. It suits both diners already familiar with Ethiopian food and newcomers looking for a patient introduction to injera, warming spice and a cuisine built around hospitality.
