About

Merkamo serves Ethiopian vegan plates and injera-based combinations from a stall in Old Spitalfields Market, with lentils, vegetables, okra and salads recurring in customer favorites. The Merkamo Special lets you sample several dishes at once; reviewers praise its generous portions and reasonable London prices, though a recent visit noted a slow queue and market seating can be busy.
