As London continues to embrace world cuisine, it's not surprising to notice Eritrean fare making inroads onto British palates and Mosob Restaurant has pioneered the way forward in the Westbourne Park area. For homesick Eritreans there is hardly a better place to congregate as this family-run place captures the warmth and zest of this East African culture.

Injera, a thin, soft pancake like bread, acts as a communal platter to share, accompanied by seafood, meat and vegetables that are both fresh and flavoursome, while the lentil rolls stuffed with herbs pack in plenty of punch. A special Mosob salad could grab the attention of light eaters, and robust main courses of awaze qulwa, cubes of lean beef, fried with onion, green chillies and pepper, and okra and lamb, simmered with tomatoes, onions and spices make for a full throttle dining experience.

Desserts are equally memorable with torta della nonna, layers of short crust pastry filled with lemon flavoured patisserie cream and decorated with pine nuts, dusted with icing sugar.
