New Sudanese restaurant in high street

Toteil - near Zahra pharmacy and opposite town hall - only opened about a month ago. It’s an authentic Sudanese restaurant and really enjoyable.Service is a little slow - still finding its feet and it seems everything is really freshly cooked. The food is both amazing and stunning value. Seven of us ate ourselves to a standstill for £120.We were lucky and guided by two Sudanese chaps in our party and they chose well: the chicken coated in peanut was delicious and I loved the lamb stew - which you eat, messily with injeera-style Ethiopian bread. There’s also kofta and a delicious foul madama. Apart from the latter, it’s hopeless for vegetarians. Sudanese baklava (no nuts) or sort of doughnuts - delicious - for dessert.Not licensed and like the Somali place we also like, you can’t take in alcohol. At least we didn’t see anyone do so - unlike Anokha or Java Fusion.Will definitely go again…

Mmm...making me feel hungry.

Under order rather over…portions seemed on the large size.But one beef stew with injeera (which it isn’t called here - I’d steer clear of the polenta-like dumpling) and one chicken with peanuts would be enough for two-three.

Thanks for review. We'd been planning a trip and I'd been researching Sudanese food to have an idea what to order. It's a big investment in the area by someone so deserves support if it is serving good food.
