Looking for a restaurant with an authentic eat-with-hands experience in London

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a restaurant in London, where you can sit on the floor and eat with your hands? (and no i am not wanting a kebab shop where i can sit on the sidewalk after a night on the piss).

Preferably a restaurant of Middle Eastern or African cuisine?

Cheers

    If you want both sit on the floor and hand eating then you could go to Pakhtoonkhwa Restaurant on Green St for Afghan/North West Pakistani food. I wrote a post on it earlier. It's basically lamb heaven.

      Maybe somewhere ethiopian? They are almost all eat-with-hands, but I'm not sure if any of them deliver on sit-on-floor.

      I'm quite a fan of Marathon near Kings Cross station.

        Addis has an area to sit on the floor and you eat with your hands http://www.timeout.com/london/restaur...

        Didn't love it, but was an interesting experience
