Flamingo, an Ethiopian restaurant nestled in Shepherd’s Bush, London, has garnered an impressive reputation among its visitors. The warm atmosphere and welcoming staff create an inviting dining experience that keeps patrons coming back. Customers rave about the generous portions and reasonable prices, making it a standout in the area. One reviewer, Luca Dileo, reminisced about the delicious food he enjoyed during his time in London, highlighting the charm of both the dishes and the people.
Another patron, Eff Ra, described it as “the absolute best Ethiopian food” she has had, noting the delightful combination of flavors in the Vegetarian Combo served on Injera. The atmosphere, while already great, could benefit from a touch of dim lighting to enhance the experience further. However, the exceptional service from the staff, recognized by Wongele Emanuale, adds a personal touch that makes diners feel valued and cherished.
Flamingo has undoubtedly earned its place as a hidden gem. With its delicious Ethiopian dishes, attentive service, and great value, it’s a must-visit for food lovers looking to explore authentic Ethiopian cuisine in London.

Such an awesome find, with warm welcoming staff and the absolute best Ethiopian food I’ve had in London . Very generous portions for a good price , you won’t go home unsatisfied! I’d personally love dimmer lighting / candles for ambiance in the evening but aside from that 10/10 , favourite restaurant in Shepherd’s Bush and a hidden gem I’m so glad I stumbled across last weekend , will defo be back !

We had the ‘Vegetarian (vegan) Combo’ - with a variety of vegan dishes served on a platter of Injera (Ethiopian traditional stable bread). Absolutely delicious! We had a great experience at Flamingo - great atmosphere & environment - followed by excellent service - and great value for our food! Definitely recommend!

The food is so good, the portion is good and the price very reasonable. More than everything.... THE! services is out of this world. The man and the Girl (I wish I take their name, sorry for that) but they're really really good at there job. They're so kind and respectful. They make you feel like you know them for long time. So friendly and familiar. I really appreciate it. Definitely I will visit them in the near future.

Really great food at such a low price. The meat and veggie selection was 35. The vegetarian dishes in particular were delicious. We also had some Ethiopian beer which was nice.

It’s the first time I’ve tried Ethiopian food or Injera. I loved it, bursting with flavour. 2 of us had the vegetarian (Vegan) platter and we were too full, and a little leftover. It’s cheap at 15 per person.

I went in very late after a gig, they were cashing up, but we're still willing to serve me, which I was so grateful for. I had ingera with a spicy lamb stew, and it was absolutely delicious. I would travel back to Shepherd's Bush any time just for this food, and the friendly, kind staff.
