Amazing experience. - Edit
I would give 5 stars if I could. From the moment we walked in we knew this was going to be a great experience. Warmly welcomed by our server we were delighted with the vegan options on the menu. We had a banana beer and a coconut beer , both served in coconut cups - really refreshing and unlike anything I’d had before. We were then invited to wash our hands, both before & after our meal as we would be eating with our hands. We opted for 2 different vegan plates with were served ‘to share’ with injeera bread. The dishes were explained to us and more bread was offered if we needed it. We had coffees (aromatic, strong, quality) & vegan cake for dessert. Served in a traditional manner & again our lovely server took time to explain the ceremony & its importance

A really nice experience - Edit
I'd never experienced Eritrean food before, so this was quite the experience... They make you wash your hands before and after the meal, which is needed. Eating with your hands, scooping up the dishes with the injeera bread, is something different, and actually enjoyable. And the food is delicious. I had the mix & match vegan platter, which was really good, although I wouldn't have minded a larger portion.
Read moreThe restaurant is beautifully decorated and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They also roast their own coffee beans, which they then let you smell (wow, so aromatic!) before you can have a coffee from it. And the (spiced) coffee is really, really good! Great way to end an already amazing evening. Highly recommended!

Great experience - Edit
Very nice place with super friendly and attentive staff. It really is an experience to eat here, especially if you’re with people who are not familiar with Eritrean food / culture yet.
Read moreI always order the vegan plate that they mix and match, which is tasty and filling enough (although when they bring it you think it will never fill you up). So would recommend this option. And I’d also recommend the (sweet) banana beer that is served out of a coconut.
Highly recommend this place! For both small and larger groups. Be sure to reserve a spot on busy days (weekends).
Pros: Nice atmosphere , Friendly staff , Great experience

Recommend when in Eindhoven - Edit
Amazing vegan food! Really an experience, since you eat with your hands. They wash your hands at your table before and after the meal. They offer several vegan dishes and desserts, also the Eritrean coffee is amazing, would recommend! The staff are most friendly, always a nice vibe!

Great for mixed groups - Edit
We went here with a group of friends. The atmosphere is very nice and in theme.
Read moreThe portion was good, even for the big eaters among us. I simply shared two vegan dishes (clearly marked on the menu) with a friend on one plate.
The only point we had was the long waiting time for our food (45 minutes).
We wouldn't definitely come back here.
Pros: Price , Atmosphere , Shared fingerfood
Cons: Long waiting time

Dear Leanne, we will keep doing our best to keep waiting time short. Thank you for the lovely review and pictures!

Sanitary and savoury dining - Edit
Service was very friendly. I really like that they come by the table to bring soap and water to wash hands before and after dinner. It makes for a fresh and clean start and end to your dinner experience. This should be mandatory for any restaurant where you eat with your hands (or at least offer automated water taps to wash your hands without contaminating them again by touching the taps and door handles). So definitely a lot of plusses in the service department.
Read moreThen the food: vegan options are clearly marked and there is a lot of choice. I had the Vegan Mix - Bebiaynetu. The food is very coarsly cut. I really don't like that for the spinach for my Hamli. I don't like the texture and it's not very easy to eat because it gets all tangled up. The biggest problem is with the pumpkin for the Duba and potatoes for the Alicha: there was a big variation in tenderness, with some pieces bordering on still begin raw.
The atmosphere is quite cozy, despite this being a pretty big restaurant. I really like it when you can settle down in a secluded corner and relax your food in relative privacy.
The service, atmosphere and large selection of vegan options upgrade the 3-star food to a 4-star experience.
Pros: Hand-wash service at the table, Very friendly staff, Intimate atmosphere
Cons: Coarsly cut vegetables

Laatst voor het eerst gegeten en mix van van alles besteld. Het was voor mij de eerste keer Eritrees eten. Alleen een hoofdgerecht besteld en zaten bomvol. Niet eens alles op kunnen eten, maar wel proberen ervoor te strijden omdat het zo lekker was. En dan ook nog eens betaalbaar.

Verrassend - Edit
Omdat ik niet eerder 'Eritrean' gegeten had, was de hele sfeer nieuw voor me. De bediening was erg vriendelijk en het hele systeem werd duidelijk uitgelegd. Mijn partner koos voor vlees, maar ik kon prima veganistisch eten. Smaakvol en ruime porties. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar.

Nice and inexpensive food - Edit
Had dinner here tonight with my non-vegan friends who ordered the meat dishes for sharing. I had a selection of 4 vegan dishes that included pumpkin, lentils, potatoes, spinach, etc. Everything tasted great and was not too spicy. I also really liked the flatbread you use to eat with. Large portions (I could not finish all the food because it was too much for me) at low prices (16 euros for my vegan dish). Will definitely go back.
