Addis Alem

The food was absolutely incredible! I love that Ethiopian food is naturally vegan (by simply not adding meat), and this place was really delicious! As no one has shared, they do have a 5* food hygiene rating!! The restaurant is a little confusing to get to, you need to go through Nags Head market at turn left when you get to the back! We got the Vegetable Samosas and veggie mix plate for 2 (between 4 of us) and the coffee ceremony. It was more than enough food for us and so delicious! Huge portion and very affordable - bill came to £39 including drinks! Greta place for food! Bonus if you are vegan or trying to reduce meat because everything is naturally vegan and Gluten-Free!

Had a wonderful Ethiopian meal last night in the smallest place at Nags Head market. The women on the left did all the cooking whilst the women in orange translated between Aramaic and English as we chatted about Ethiopia and the links to my home town of Bath. Proper Ethiopian coffee freshly made and served with popcorn and burning incense kept me awake during the long drive back home. Injera was 100% teff, so completely gluten free and everything was vegan. Food was delicious and the women cooking was happy to share some of her recipes. Good portion sizes too. I have a large appetite and couldn't quite manage to eat it all. Cost Inc a soft drink was just £15 #glutenfree #ethiopianfood #injera #vegan #nagshead
