2 for 1 at Merkato

To taste real African cuisine, step no further then Merkato, superbly located in Kings Cross, central London.

Merkato Restaurant specialises in Ethiopian and Eritrean dishes; recreating traditional recipes for the enjoyment of its guests. If authenticity and honesty are important factors influencing your dining decisions, then Merkato Restaurant will score highly indeed. All dishes are freshly prepared to maximise the distinctive flavours and pungent spices used in their creation. Each order is accompanied by the traditional injera flatbread which is also available gluten-free.

Kick off an African feast with a starter plate of beef sautéed with tomatoes, onion and pepper. Alternatively sample a hot beef stew to fully awaken jaded taste buds, or calm the palate with a mildly spiced chicken dish accompanied by a boiled egg. Fried ribs, lamb, and minced beef feature in some of the tasty main course options; catering for differing taste distinctions with each offering a different flavour experience. Vegetarians are well catered for too, with options including split chickpea stew; fried cabbage and carrots, and lentil stew. Don’t leave without sampling the restaurant’s ktfo dish which has proven to be popular with regular visitors.

Merkato Restaurant is a lively and sociable venue perfect for a gathering of family and friends; what’s more, Kings Cross is a fantastically accessible location. Its casual ambiance creates the perfect backdrop for convivial conversation in an unhurried setting. The vibrancy of the food is mirrored in the décor, and as such, provides diners with a well-rounded experience of African gastronomy

Next time you’re booking a meal, if you’re bored of the same old restaurants, why not try something a little different with Merkato?

    " MAYBE MORE SUITABLE FOR LUNCH THAN DINNER

    The atmosphere was cosy, the lady (presumably the owner) was kind but the place was definitely not clean enough to be a dinner restaurant. Menu covers, plastic table cloths, trays and even glasses were visibly dirty. The bathrooms were so dirty and dismissed to be unpresentable. Food was fine but the beef came out too cooked and hard.
    In sum, you may wish to try it for lunch or to discover ethiopian cuisine but you will then probably not go back. "

    We were group of 6..3 vegetarian and 3 meat eaters. vegetarian food was horrible..just tinned or frozen veggies boiled with no taste whatsoever. the main part of the food is injera which was so sour that we couldn't taste anything else...it was possibly stale/overly fermented. Meat dishes were ok..vegetarians had to find another place to eat after this. never again. using taste card was ok. "

    If you've never tried Ethiopian or Eritrean food, make Merkato your first experience. The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food is delicious and unusual. The food presentation is unlike most other food and is great for sharing and socializing. There are many vegetarian dishes to choose from too. If you are a coffee connoisseur, the traditional coffee is a must and you have a sweet tooth, you'll probably like Brle Tej, the local brew. "

    Very nice people, warm and welcoming. However there is no consistency in the food recipe so the same dish is different every single time. Their mead (tej) is mostly great, but again different everytime. Prices are fair with the taste card but it would get too expensive to make it worth a visit without.
    All in all a good spot for the occasional visit. "

    " Overall i left feeling disappointed with this place and i will definitely not go back.

    The food for me was very mediocre - the vegetarian dish i ordered was quite obviously frozen or tinned veg as it had those baby cut carrots in and it was so over cooked that the texture was just mush. The fish stew was ok - but thats it, just ok.

    We had 2 gin and tonics each(a total of 4 drinks) during the course of the meal both with ice but when the bill came we had been charged for 8, presumably she served doubles which we did not ask for nor did she tell us she would do. Having a price on the menu for singles and then serving and charging for doubles is dishonest. If you are only going to serve doubles then only have that on your menu. It just felt like a really underhand way to make more money out of us.

    food not brilliant, service pretty poor. advice to possible future diner is try somewhere else first. "

    I booked this for a group of friends and it was a bit if a disaster. They had no record of the booking though there was space for us anyway so that was ok. Only got about half the order right first time, bringing us some stuff we hadn't ordered and missing out several people's meals altogether. One friend didn't get hers till the rest if it us had all finished and when it came it was literally just a plate of boiled cabbage. To be fair, they didn't charge us for that one. I would go to the other Ethiopian place further up Cally Road next time. Will not be returning here! "

    We were group of 6..3 vegetarian and 3 meat eaters. vegetarian food was horrible..just tinned or frozen veggies boiled with no taste whatsoever. the main part of the food is injera which was so sour that we couldn't taste anything else...it was possibly stale/overly fermented. Meat dishes were ok..vegetarians had to find another place to eat after this. never again. using taste card was ok. "

    If you've never tried Ethiopian or Eritrean food, make Merkato your first experience. The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food is delicious and unusual. The food presentation is unlike most other food and is great for sharing and socializing. There are many vegetarian dishes to choose from too. If you are a coffee connoisseur, the traditional coffee is a must and you have a sweet tooth, you'll probably like Brle Tej, the local brew. "

  • Yayo said: "Okay
    Very nice people, warm and welcoming. However there is no consistency in the food recipe so the same dish is different every single time. Their mead (tej) is mostly great, but again different everytime. Prices are fair with the taste card but it would get too expensive to make it worth a visit without.
    All in all a good spot for the occasional visit. "

    " Overall i left feeling disappointed with this place and i will definitely not go back.

    The food for me was very mediocre - the vegetarian dish i ordered was quite obviously frozen or tinned veg as it had those baby cut carrots in and it was so over cooked that the texture was just mush. The fish stew was ok - but thats it, just ok.

    We had 2 gin and tonics each(a total of 4 drinks) during the course of the meal both with ice but when the bill came we had been charged for 8, presumably she served doubles which we did not ask for nor did she tell us she would do. Having a price on the menu for singles and then serving and charging for doubles is dishonest. If you are only going to serve doubles then only have that on your menu. It just felt like a really underhand way to make more money out of us.

    food not brilliant, service pretty poor. advice to possible future diner is try somewhere else first. "

    " I went here with a friend. We had a very nice meal with good service. I was disappointed when at the time of paying the account with my tastecard.I was told the 50% was on main course only and not starters and desserts. I have been using my tastecard for the last 3 years and always got 50% on all food. Very disappointed . I will not return here "

  • Shona said: "Average food, terrible service
    I booked this for a group of friends and it was a bit if a disaster. They had no record of the booking though there was space for us anyway so that was ok. Only got about half the order right first time, bringing us some stuff we hadn't ordered and missing out several people's meals altogether. One friend didn't get hers till the rest if it us had all finished and when it came it was literally just a plate of boiled cabbage. To be fair, they didn't charge us for that one. I would go to the other Ethiopian place further up Cally Road next time. Will not be returning here! "

    " First time trying Ethiopian food, but thought it was delicious and different. Lovely flavours, went for one of the deluxe sets and liked everything on the plate. Bit unusual with no cutlery but added to the experience! "

    " I didn't really get to taste the food. I booked a table the previous day. When I showed up the place was rented out to a private party. We were offered a table outside in the cold. So we left, and nobody seemed to care much. "

    " I expect more of this restaurant because of the over-rated reviews. Food is ok but some dishes are too small. Good price due the tastecard. It's ok but i can't see myself coming back again. "
