I never had Ethiopian food, so I can't really compare it.But it was delicious and nothing like anything I ever had. The staff is the friendliest I've seen in London and she even shared bread with us that she made for her friends/familiy. The portions were big enough that we ate the rest for breakfast.You will eat with your hands, using the pancake-like stuff to grab the food :DIf you come here you should try the honey wine/drink.

It's a lovely, comfy place to try Ethiopian food.We were completely new to Ethiopian food and the owner recommended dishes to us based on our preferences.This place is definitely vegan-friendly and also suitable for people who like gluten-free food. It's also got a great selection of meat options.Things to note before you head over:1. If you're new to Ethiopian food (like us), you may find injera (the bread you use to eat your dishes with) too sour for your liking. It is healthy, but if the sourness isn't for you, get strong-tasting dishes that can mask the sourness. We got a spicy mutton dish that worked well for this.2. They don't do small individual plates - my picture below is the 3 dishes we ordered put on one platter. It makes for a nice communal dining experience. I really enjoyed the mutton dishes.All in all, I definitely enjoyed it - it was new to me and I came away with a greater appreciation for Ethiopian food.

Genet's is such an amazing restaurant! When you enter, she welcomes you as though you are her own family. The food is absolutely delicious and comes in fantastically sized portions. You'll leave feeling completely fed and delighted with the experience at Genet's!

Interesting experience. Not often you eat with your bare hands nowadays. We ordered meaty sharing plater. Food was really good, but they home made Honey wine was a real MVP of that night. Sweet and sour flavour combined with strong aroma. Looks like they where accepting only cash in past, but now they are accepting cards so there was no need to look for ATM. That was a pleasant surprise.

Absolutely delicious, would come back weekly if I was local. The chickpeas and the green beans were my favourite. Very friendly family run business, made authentically. Highly recommend.

Wonderful, welcoming, delicious Ethiopian food.Fantastic vegan and gluten free options, but also tasty meat dishes.Service is slow because the food is made freshly for you but this is real food, with real flavours.Communal eating, a place to go for a very sensory food experience.The dishes are served on large plates on and with injera bread made from teff flour. This bread has a slightly sour flavour, and is delicious. As with South Asian food, you tear a piece of bread and use it to scoop up some of the dish. There is no cutlery and there are no individual plates.If you like strong drink, try the fermented honey drink. It's home made and good!The cafe is cash only and there is a free cash point across the road.The owner/cook is a very welcoming and friendly person and will make you feel like a guest in her home rather than a customer.

Genet serves very authentic (it seems) and delicious Ethiopian food in Tottenham. Everything seems to be made by the one lady that runs the show, cooking and serving. She's not only a great cook but also very nice to talk to if you'd like to get some tips about what to eat. I'd highly recommend the mixed platter for the group. Bear in mind that no alcohol is served there in case you'd like to accompany your food with a beer. A selection of soft drinks is available tho.

The food really was really nice. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. If you order the Ethiopian coffee then order it while you have your food ha it takes a will to come. One little issue with this restaurant there is no toilet

Really delicious, authentic Ethiopian cuisine. I've come back here a few times now and the dishes are always great. The owner is also such a lovely lady, always enjoy speaking with her. Nice , rustic Ethiopian vibes, and it's low-key in a good way! Try the honey wine too.
