👍👍 We are so happy we found this place. The food was absolutely delicious and we would be back for more if we weren’t leaving tomorrow! It was really easy to reserve a table on Messenger and they remembered we were vegetarian as soon as we walked in. First class service and friendliness. The chef even...

    We are so happy we found this place. The food was absolutely delicious and we would be back for more if we weren’t leaving tomorrow! It was really easy to reserve a table on Messenger and they remembered we were vegetarian as soon as we walked in. First class service and friendliness. The chef even came and asked us if we were happy with the food. Highly recommended.

    Resturant with a descent selection of East African food, with 5/5 tasting food. Very good and polite service Prices are relatively very cheap compared to other resturants and norwegian prices with alot of food for the money. The resturant size is rather small and limited space. At peak hours it can be quite full, make sure to reserve tables if you plan to eat around peak hours. But the best experience is early in the day when there are few to no customers. Very good and relaxing atmosphere.

    Have to give this a five star.. It's a little half hidden oase, where they make true Etheopian dishes.. the place is not that big, seven smaller tables, but done in a cosy way, so u truely feel relaxed and welcome.. I never tried Etheopian food before, but it was delicious, and got served in a way I have not tried before, where u where eating with your hands.. But no worries the friendly and smiling host, are there to help u all the way, both on what way to eat it and the technics.. and u felt almost as if at home.. I was very happy with my visit there, and will just say this.. go and try it, especially if your tired of all the boring same same Norwegian food or pizzas they normally serve u here, I'm pretty sure u will not regret it..

    (Translated by Google) Great food, nice people and certainly a place to visit. The only thing that is minus is that the tables are a little small and the restaurant small, but it also says something about how popular it is. 😉 (Original) God mat, hyggelige folk og absolutt en plass å besøke. Eneste som er minus er at bordene er litt små og restauranten liten, men det sier også noe om hvor populær den er. 😉

    (Translated by Google) A most unique experience. The food was lovely and not least the service was very nice and helpful. You get tips on what suits each one. Here you eat your hands and leve, so maybe not suitable for the most conservative. Looking for something more unconventional and exciting, so it is highly recommendable. No doubt this is a little gem in town. (Original) En høyest unik opplevelse. Maten var nydelig og ikke minst var betjeningen veldig hyggelig og behjelpelig. Man får tips om hva som passer hver og en. Her spiser man med hendene og lefser, så kanskje ikke passende for de mest konservative. Ser man etter noe mer utradisjonelt og spennende, så er det å anbefale på det varmeste. Ingen tvil om at dette er en liten perle i byen.

  • 5/5 Njal A. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely little Ethiopian café and restaurant. We had coffee served in a traditional coffee pot - strong black coffee sweetened by the optional white sugar on the side. A small bowl of snacks came with on the side. The food here is amazing as well, particularly the Ethiopian savoury pancake with meat and/or vegetables that you eat with your hands. The staff were really warm and welcoming as well. The funniest thing was when we went to pay, we could guess the date and location of a picture on the wall to get a discount. I failed miserably and had to pay the full price, but had a good laugh with the waiter. Would warmly recommend this place (:

    Excellent experience here, we were recommended this spot when we were asking about walks on the mountain. It turned out to be an excellent spot great food and the helpful waitress got us not too order too much food for the three of us. Just enough for us to be full and happy and a really tasty dinner!

    They took us in close to closing, and were very kind and served without any hesitation. Absolutely delicious Ethiopian food :)

  • 5/5 Teti L. 9 months ago on Google
    Big portions, ordered a mixed plate for 1 person and one extra meat dish for 2 ppl and it was more than enough! Better order less and finish all - a great sign of respect to the cook and culture. A bit spicy but not over the top. Also try Ethiopian tea spiced with cardamon.

  • 5/5 Peter LeFanu L. 9 months ago on Google
    Beautiful place! Some of the best Ethiopian food I’ve had anywhere, and generous portions, but also the cheapest restaurant meal I’ve had in Norway! Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Great vegetarian options, and lovely Ethiopian coffee afterwards.

  • 5/5 Ivo C. 9 months ago on Google
    First time in an Ethiopian restaurant. Fantastic experience, warm and friendly service, with charming smile for all the guests. We (my Wife and myself) took the plate for two, the mixture of most of the dishes from the menu. Relatively hot and spicy dishes (which I love) served with abundance of injera pancake, you eat with your hands. Pricewise, excellent value for the money. Coffee was out of this world. Overall, brilliant, would definetly come again and again.

  • 5/5 Isabelle R. 10 months ago on Google
    This was good fun to have an Ethiopian diner. First time to eat without fork 😀 I had the vegetarian plate . All was very tasty. Don’t hesitate, try it. It is a very cheap journey to Ethiopia . Staff is friendly and efficient

    Lucy's dishes were delicious and exactly what we were expecting and more. We highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Henrietta H. 1 year ago on Google
    The people working here are great fun, the food was good but I'd go back just to see them. The chef was not impressed by us eating with a knife and fork (!) and the waiter took time to chat with us about a photo by the till. If you're vegan I'd just recommend being really clear when you order. There was some confusion and we were at first given a mixed platter with some vegan food, but also containing meat, eggs and cheese. However, they replaced it without any problem. I'd also say the food is good value.

  • 5/5 Bora D. 2 years ago on Google
    Superb food for anyone looking for a bit different experience than the ordinary. Sharing plate with the spiced tea were perfect.

  • 3/5 Berni B. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff is 5 stars, but the food is only three. I lived in Ethiopia and been to many Ethiopian restaurants in many countries. Unfortunately here the sauces and as well the injera lacks the usual blissful taste that Ethiopian food can give you. It's OK food, but the spices of the vegan dish do not really surface. Maybe I'm spoiled, but usually Ethiopian food makes me super happy. That wasn't the case here. Hope they do better soon, because as I said: the staff was great and I loved as well the original music and the atmosphere of that place.
