5/5 Paul H. 2 years ago on Google
We
were
wandering
the
streets
of
the
Manchester
Northern
Quarter
and
wanted
something
to
eat
but
not
usual
burger,
chips
and
pizza
that
seems
to
be
standard
fayre,
in
many
of
the
bars.
We
stumbled
on
Asmara's
completely
by
accident,
looked
through
the
window,
checked
the
on-line
menu,
worried
a
little
that
it
might
be
too
exotic,
and
went
in.
Had
no
idea
what
to
order
and
asked
for
ideas,
the
Mosob
2
person
platter
was
suggested
so
we
went
with
that.
The
presentation
was
lovely,
a
huge
plate
of
assorted
veggie
and
meat
dishes
served
with
and
on,
a
sort
of
flatbread
called
Injera.
The
flatbread
was
a
cross
between
crumpets
and
large
pitta
bread.
You
tear
it
apart
with
your
fingers
and
dig
in,
very
messy,
very
enjoyable.
Forks
are
available
on
request....Good
for
when
you
are
breaded
out
but
can't
resist
the
treats.
The
food
was
super
tasty
and
palatable
with
a
nice
amount
of
heat,
every
flavour
was
different.
The
closest
cuisine
I
can
liken
it
to
is
Indian,
but
it's
definitely
not
...it's
Eritrean/Ethiopian.
We
need
to
go
back
and
try
more
dishes
now
😀
Parking
is
awful...
normal
North
Manchester.
The
restaurant
is
on
2
floors
and
downstairs
is
only
about
14
covers
but
if
it
looks
full,
go
in
anyway
as
upstairs
is
bigger.
Nicely
decorated
and
clean.
You
can
go
in
just
for
drinks
if
you
wish,
there
is
a
bar
and
a
coffee
machine.
Toilets
were
clean
and
functional
but
warning,
they
are
upstairs.
Service
was
good.
Visit
was
Saturday
mid
afternoon
and
it
was
quiet.
Piped
music
is
ethnic,
presumably
from
the
region
of
the
food.
Family
friendly.
