Simon's - Eritrean & Ethiopian

Restaurant African restaurant Ethiopian restaurant

👍 Such warm hospitality of service and good Eritrean-Ethiopian ambient! I dined in with no knowledge background on their food. They can recommend and serve like a big plate for everyone to share. They serve enough carb!! Each recipe is unique and fresh cook. Me, I ate with my hand and it was best.... People often mention Essen, waren, lecker, restaurant,

    (Translated by Google) The first time African tasted, the dishes were delicious, the dough with which you ate the meat was ok, just a bit sour. But maybe that was just the unfamiliar taste. Otherwise everything was great! (Original) Haben das erste Mal afrikanisch probiert, die Gerichte an sich waren sehr lecker, der Teig womit man das Fleisch gegessen hat war auch okay, nur etwas sauer. Aber vielleicht war das auch nur der ungewohnte Geschmack. Ansonsten alles super!

    Such warm hospitality of service and good Eritrean-Ethiopian ambient! I dined in with no knowledge background on their food. They can recommend and serve like a big plate for everyone to share. They serve enough carb!! Each recipe is unique and fresh cook. Me, I ate with my hand and it was best. After the meal, I recommend ordering ‘local coffee’. it is a special brewing and provides a bit of good smell. It is black coffee and you can add sugar by yourself. Good experience and reasonable price :3

  • 5/5 LOFI S. 4 years ago on Google
    Cozy and beautiful place. Very tasty food. Price okay for the portion that we got. And there are also vegan or vegetarian options. Me and my sister were so pleased to eat there. We love to try different cookings of other countries, and are so happy if they have vegan options too. And this kind of 'cuisine', is something we never tried. So special! Especially recommended for those who love spicy meals. If you are not a fan of spicy things, you can just ask for a spicy-free dish. The waiters and owner of the restaurant were so gentle and kind. Totally worth it. :)

    (Translated by Google) Great restaurant, the whole seems a bit unbehalfen, the decor is not quite perfect, but the food, which is why we were there, was outstanding. I can only recommend and hope that it stays that way, because then I like to come back. Simon says, give 5 out of 5 stars;) (Original) Super Restaurant, das ganze wirkt noch etwas unbehalfen, auch die Einrichtung ist noch nicht ganz perfektioniert, aber das Essen, weshalb wir ja da waren, war herausragend gut. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen und hoffen, dass es so bleibt, denn dann komme ich gerne wieder. Simon says, 5 von 5 Sterne geben ;)

    I am just adding a review based on me going and then being closed despite clearly stating they are open on their door and google map. I travelled just to eat something home-like and I couldn’t get anything.

  • 4/5 Velon K. 1 year ago on Google
    Das Ambiente erinnert an eine Kneipe der 80er, ist also eher "mau", die WCs sind auch eher mittel. Das Essen ist aber tatsächlich gut. Es wird mit den Fingern gegessen, wir haben vier unterschiedliche Gerichte ausprobiert, alle waren lecker und die Art zu essen war eine Erfahrung. Für das drumherum ist der Laden eigentlich nichts zum Wiederkommen, für das Essen aus meiner Sicht durchaus.

  • 1/5 ETuS Wedau V. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice service, but with 4 people overwhelmed. Food typical of the country, but quality (tough meat) not good. Significantly too expensive. Sanitary facilities were in function and cleanliness left to be desired. (Original) Sehr nette Bedienung, jedoch bei 4 Leuten überfordert. Essen landestypische, jedoch qualitativ (zähes Fleisch) nicht gut. Deutlich zu teuer. Sanitäranlagen lagen in Funktion und Reinlichkeit zu wünschen übrig.

    (Translated by Google) We have never eaten Eritrean before and loved it. You have to get involved, of course. There were four of us and ordered four main courses and one chickpea sauce as a starter. After the order was taken, the landlord offered to serve everything on a plate so that everyone could try everything. So all the dishes, including the starter, came on a platter covered with flatbread (large pancakes). There was also an extra plate with pita. The dishes were rich, delicious and well seasoned. The food was eaten by hand using the flatbreads. For safety's sake, there was still cutlery. We drank local Asmara lager. The establishment of the restaurant is rather simple, the tables are covered with wipeable film. But you shouldn't let that irritate you. If you have a little courage, you can have a new culinary experience at Simon's. (Original) Wir haben vorher noch nie eritreisch gegessen und waren begeistert. Man muss sich natürlich darauf einlassen. Wir waren zu viert und bestellten vier Hauptspeisen und einmal Kichererbsen-Mus als Vorspeise. Nachdem die Bestellung aufgenommen wurde, bot uns der Wirt an, alles auf einer Platte zu servieren, damit jeder von allem probieren kann. So kamen dann alle Speisen, einschließlich der Vorspeise, auf einer Platte, die mit Fladenbrot (große Pfannkuchen) bedeckt war. Dazu gab es noch einen Extra-Teller mit Fladen. Die Gerichte waren reichhaltig, lecker und toll gewürzt. Die Speisen wurden mit Hilfe der Fladen mit der Hand gegessen. Zur Sicherheit gab es allerdings noch Besteck. Dazu tranken wir heimisches Asmara - Lagerbier. Die Einrichtung des Lokals ist eher einfach, die Tische sind mit abwischbarer Folie bedeckt. Davon sollte man sich aber nicht irritieren lassen. Wer ein wenig Mut hat, kann bei Simon´s eine neue kulinarische Erfahrung machen.
