Ethiopian kitchen with heart

In a relaxed atmosphere you can enjoy delicious food. The staff is lovely and just superb, we felt pretty good in this environment.

Because we hardly had experience with ethiopian kitchen we ordered the family plate. You can share one with others or everyone get an own plate like we did. It was great to try different things and I can’t tell which was my favourite, but i guess I would recommend the lentils dishes.

Fav Ethiopian in Cologne

I love it! If you know me you know, that Asian cuisine is my fav, but this restaurant here deserves recognition. I love the taste of the dishes and the Injera is really light and flavourful. The restaurant is family owned and they’re super friendly. Don’t get fooled by the area it’s in - it’s really good here!
Great service, great food and vegan options available. Only lunch would be great (they’re not open during lunch hours)

Pros: Vegan, Authentic and fresh , Service

Cons: Opening times
