The Best Ethiopian Vegan Food in South London - Edit
What a yummy food they make! It is really tasty and nutritious (and looks great). Very close to Elephant & Castle station in a part of revitalised area. The restaurant looks great inside and has got sitting outside. We had a sharing platter for 2 that had various veggies & pulses. Very filling yet light. Definitely will be back. Ps. The service was friendly & welcoming.

Excellent experience! - Edit
Very tasty food and big platter for sharing! Very friendly staff and outside seating is available. The only thing to be aware of is that there is a set menu with a price of £19 per person.

Finger licking food! - Edit
It's a snazzy restaurant in a new building of some kind. Based on Happycow we were expecting something less fancy. It was quiet at 5pm on a Saturday, great service and fancy tap water was good.
Read moreThe menu was pricier than we thought as Happycow gives it one $ but it was £19 per person. No choice of meal as it's a set menu but we hate making decisions anyway and you get to have everything which is great. We also added on the Shiro, which was a delicious chickpea satay sauce.
All in all we recommend but it's not a cheap place to eat, a main course anywhere will set you back less.
Pros: Clean, Very tasty, Relaxed
Cons: Expensive

Highly recommend - Edit
I recommend this place to anyone who will listen. I first had a meal with family at Beza about a year ago and couldn’t stop thinking about the food. When I found myself at a loose end in London, it was the first place I thought of, and I gladly spent half an hour on the tube to get there. The food was just as good as I remembered and so reasonably priced for the variety of different things you get to try on the platter. I’m sure I will be back again!

Quite expensive- but very good food - Edit
19 pounds per person here set menu - but the food is wonderful, and comes with hot sauces to add even more flavor. All the dishes were very tasty.

Food was amazing. We shared a plate for 3 between 4 of us. It was plenty. Our children enjoyed the desserts. Even the water was amazing. It wasn't cheap but was well worth it.

Really delicious - Edit
It was really traditional with wooden cups. The food was so good and you had everything on one plate that you'd share.

Flavorful food, cute space - Edit
A friend and I shared a platter, I liked the diversity of the different offerings. The location is cute, the staff friendly, and the prices alright. Delicious selection, you get 9 different things on the platter, of course served with injera and hot sauces on the side.

Delicious - Edit
I lived the vibe, and the food arrived very quickly. We shared between 3 and it was more than enough food. As a Zambian, it was nice to eat with my hands at a restaurant! I would recommend trying. It was a great way to eat, and try lots of different dishes and flavours!

Delicious Ethiopian Food - Edit
Really delicious and enjoyable food at a fully vegan Ethiopian place. We got a plate to share and it was more than enough for two people, it comes with various different curries on injera bread. It is also served with more bread and two sauces on the side (beware as they are both really spicy). Service is really nice and friendly and the prices are fair.

Huge sharing platter, I challenge you to finish the whole thing - Edit
The sharing platter, with a multitude of delicious curries, is excellent for communal eating. It sits on a bed of bread (which they superfluously provide more of). It’s just a great experience all round. Also the drinks come in cute wooden cups.

Really tasty, varied Ethiopian food - Edit
This is the standard Ethiopian style with lots of foods laid out on a big injera pancake.
Read moreEverything on that injera was lovely and there was more than enough for a great lunch. It was served with two chili sauces - mild and hot. I am usually ok with spice but even the mild was scorching for me so I left the hot one!
You can eat at a traditional Ethiopian table which is a nice touch, and the place is laid out with lots of space. The service was friendly and attentive.
All round, this was great!

Delicious food - Edit
We had the injera plate and the rice bowl and both were delicious and very generous portions. Be careful before you try the chilli dips though! Even the milder one is extremely hot!!

Service so so but good is amazing! - Edit
Nice setting, delicious food. Normally staff at Ethiopian restaurants are super friendly and maybe the owners are but our server was a little disinterested and forgetful. We’d come back though!

Mixed box on Uber Eats - Edit
I love Ethiopian food, I got it last week from another vegan place nearby, and I saw the 5 stars reviews on here so really wanted to try. I got a mixed box which had lots of options and came with injera so you get a great portion. But it came in a box that was leaking a bit and I didnt really like two of my choices for some reason - although thats just personal preference and the risk of uber eats. The injera was super salty too, like a bit more than normal, but perfect texture

A very fulfilling and colourful experience - Edit
Beza Ethiopian food did NOT disappoint. As our second dive into vegan food during our trip to London, Beza certainly displayed some of the city’s best. We ordered a platter for 4 people which included all available mains on a large dish of injera, all of which were very satisfying, delicious, and fulfilling, featuring a beautiful array of colours and flavours. Accompanying the meal we ordered a traditional coffee for two, which while initially we were warned of its bitterness, we endured and savoured its strong flavours and high level of caffeine. I would highly recommend Beza for any wishing to try some of London’s more adventurous vegan options.

The food is excellent! I came with a friend who is not vegan. He was in Ethiopia and introduced me to this cuisine and he absolutely loved our dinner in Beza.

Delicious. - Edit
I came with a friend, we ordered the platter for two. I've to Ethiopia so I can compare to what I ate there and it was as delicious as there, the platter was very big and I had a hard time to finish it (but I'm not complaining !). The two kinds of chilli sauces were very tasty as well.

Delicious - Edit
Very good food from this small vegan restaurant. You pay a fixed price for a mixed platter of excellently spiced, freshly cooked pulses and veggies. The sauces are very hot. Only real downside is it is very busy, I was able to sit outside on a warm March evening, if it had been typical March weather I would have had to go elsewhere, as the place was full. Deservedly so, it really is excellent.

Cons: Busy, Not the cheapest
