Recommended by a friend as a fun, delicious and relaxed dinner spot. Loved the vegetarian set menu. Flavourful, generous portions and great value. Be sure to try the honey wine.

WK is very conveniently located 100m from the Emirates Stadium so we went there after a match. It's not gourmet cuisine but it is a lot of fun and they cook and serve authentic Ethiopian cuisine well and it was very enjoyable. I will certainly go there again some time.

The restaurant owner Isaac made us feel welcome from the start and catered for our group of 15 with great care. The food was absolutely delicious (made by his sister). A real tastebud explosion. Only slight downfall was the long wait for the coffee at the end but that's nothing compared to the great evening we had. Thank you!

I went there for dinner. It is a small basic restaurant with the decoration giving some Ethopian feel to it. Service is very friendly. The food is basic, but good and I enjoyed my meal there. Prices are also very reasonable.
