    The food was amazing and the atmosphere of the restaurant is very cozy and pleasant. The staff were super friendly and they also gave short interesting snippets of information about the east African culture behind the food! They have good vegetarian and vegan options, I especially enjoyedthe vegan platter. I would definitely visit again and would recommend others to visit for some authentic east African food! :)

    First time trying Ethiopian & Eritrean cuisine. Incredible! I wish I had it before, their food (Tibs, Shiro etc.) and bread (Injera) have unique tastes! Also halal 🙂

    Very Good Food, they serve Halal meat and chicken, alcoholic beverages are available as well. The restaurant is run by a family, they are very friendly, they will go ahead and explain every dish, the composition and what's special about it. It's cheap, the quality to price ratio is very good. Ask them for their recommended dish, I bet you'll like it.

    This place is amazing! It's an authentic place ran by two Ethiopian brothers. While the service is not amazing, they make your feel right at home! Food is AMAZINGLY good, samosas were very good and the beef dish I took was excellent! Prices are decent, not cheap but not too high, and it's definitely worth it :)

    The vegetarian shared platter tasted good and was definitely plenty of food. The service was great. Only surprise at the end was that we couldn’t pay with Visa nor Mastercard. So be prepared to bring cash or some german EC (?) card.

    A very cozy and friendly restaurant with equally endearing staff. The food was good and I would definitely go with friends.

    I went to this restaurant because of the many vegan options they offer. It was definitely a good choice. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly. Unfortunately they didn't have any vegan dessert but they offered a mango alcoholfree shot which was very good. I would only suggest to have a vegan option also for the dessert.

    I was waiting to try the food for a while and finally it opened again. First, this is an expensive place. The portion size is very small. You can get the same taste in any other Indian restaurant. The attendant speaks English which is really nice thing. We have had a mix platter with 4 veg and 1 nonveg dish. The national beef dish was really nice and all the veg options were also good. I was expecting that we will get additional free breads with the platter. However, you have to pay 1 euro for another bread. The rice was really good. The service is very slow and food was not hot.

    Super delicious food & warm welcoming staff. Highly recommended 👌

  • 5/5 jordi morales d. 1 year ago on Google
    Super good experience and food. The only problem you might have is that they have a lot of good choices (also many vegan). The waiting time was a bit long, but it was not a problem to me. Just keep it in mind. Thanks to the waiter. He was very nice and helpful. I wish you the best.

    Although it might take some time to be served, the staff and the food are amazing. They also speak English, which makes things easier.

  • 4/5 Suhas S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and ambience! Couple of comments: the sides — injera and rice — were a bit insufficient in quantity and had to order extra, and the service was quite slow (about one hour wait for food to be served).

  • 5/5 Christian S. 5 years ago on Google
    Very cozy and homey feel to it. The food was delicious and something unusual for the area. You'll get some basic(s) like thin bread, rice, etc and a selection of different sauces. They offer a variety of flavors, none of which I disliked. The best part was when they started to roast some coffee by the fire. Best smell ever.

    A beautiful dinner for our first night in Göttingen! Child-friendly with excellent vegan meals!

  • 4/5 Saraswati M S. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best places to enjoy East African cuisine if you have never tried it before. Their banana beer is worth trying, the way they serve is classic. You will leave feeling happy 😊
