Vegan-friendly
African, Ethiopian
Non-veg
Serves meat, vegan options available. Small Ethiopian restaurant with traditional Ethiopian dishes. Specialties are injera, a sour-dough pancake with spiced lentils and vegetables on top, and Ethiopian coffee. The owner is passionate about cooking vegan and everything is made-in-house fresh daily (which means there is only a limited amount available, so a reservation is required). Open Tue-Sun 18:00-22:00. Closed Mon.

amazing - Edit
the owner was so welcoming and happily seated me and my mum despite not having a reservation. she was honestly lovely and very attentive to what each customer wants (eg spice level). the menu is clearly labelled and we had a vegan platter for two. the portion was very generous (good value for what you pay) and was all delicious. neither of us are familiar with ethiopian cuisine but really enjoyed it, i’d highly recommend visiting. we were also given some extra chili power and sauce we could add ourselves if we wanted to up the spice level.

Eens iets anders - Edit
Leuk om in groep te gaan, samen van 1 groot bord eten. Als je op voorhand belt, voorzien ze extra vegan opties.

Expensive, but okay I guess - Edit
The waiter was very kind. Unfortunately the food tasted pretty much all the same and was quite expensive, around 40 euros/2p. For that kind of money I would definitely expect more..

Authentic rich flavors - Edit
Our "big treat" restaurant. It's been around since about 2005 and the quality of her food remains top notch. We always order the vegetarian sampler plate (always vegan) which is 40€ for 2 people. We always leave so happy and more than full! They are now experimenting with vegan "meat" samplers so you can ask to have some incorporated into your sampler plate if you wish.
Read morePros: vegan sampler plate, always leave crazy full, cozy atmosphere
Cons: not cheap

very good Ethiopian - Edit
This place looks a little chaotic from the outside, but it's really worth going in! The Vegetarian plate is vegan and consists of things like sauteed spinach with garlic, lentils, cabbage with potato and mushrooms served on a big teff pancake (injera) and share with whom you're eating. It's really authentic food and the owner is very friendly and aware of veganism. You have to eat with your hands. Price is fair!
Read morePros: Nice vegan option, authentic food, friendly owner
Cons: no website, difficult to make reservations, opening hours not clear

A bit underwhelming - Edit
Vegetarian options standardly available on menu, and are also vegan.
Read moreWe had a mixed platter (several dishes, with pancakes to scoop up the food). 40€ for 2 persons.
The food was a bit underwhelming, monotone. We expected more flavours, more variety.
Colourful interior, but a bit disorderly. Doesn't look very inviting from the outside (drapes in front of window).
