🤲🏼 share the love

First time trying Ethiopian food and what a wonderful surprise !!!
We were 3 sharing in the same big plate eating with hand. I did love the experience and highly recommend! The pop up ends 10th April 2023 but they might open a full time address. I hope so 🤞🏼

Little Restaurant with open kitchen

It is just a small restaurant with an open kitchen and you can see how this special food is cooked. The taste was totally different from my usual food routine. The food is served with some explanations and then you eat it with your hands.

Pros: 100% vegan , New experience of spices and way of eating

Cons: Not cheap

Good but too expensive

Ordered a lunch menu at 17 euros and got :
- A portion of lasagna with layers of delicious vegetable purees between slices of crepes. Served with few steamed veggies.
- A spiced hot tea.

It was good & healthy (not too salty nor too fat), but honestly... the price is just too high and doesn't reflect the quality or quantity of what is served. I'm not sure I would go back there. Pity.

Pros: Tasty, Varied, Flavourful

It's good but perhaps not worth the price

The food is good. OK. Nothing unique, but I would go there again -- if it wouldn't cost an arm and a leg for a few spoonfuls of (mainly) different lentils, potatoes, cabbage and a bit of greens with a few Ethiopian pancakes (viz. €47 for the dish for two and then a full €9 for each of the desserts (which again are good, but e.g. not super big either)). Perhaps it's the food inflation that's currently in the news, but the place is also rather simple. I guess the business model of a pop up is to take what it can as there is little point in building up a group of regulars...

Tarifs élevé non justifié.

47 euros, 2 grandes galettes et 6 purées à partager à 2.
Le meilleur, ou pas, le dessert affiché à 9 euros, une demie poire au crumble est passé à 13 euros sous prétexte de St Valentin !

Pros: Repas éthiopiens original

Cons: Bien trop cher.

Bonjour!
Merci pour votre feedback.
Nous sommes désolés d'apprendre que vous n'êtes pas satisfait de nos services.
- Notre plateau à partager pour 2 à 47 euros est en effet accompagné de 2 grandes injeras et de 9 mijotés et sautés différents.
- Le dessert aux poires n'était disponible que le jour de la Saint-Valentin et n'est pas autrement sur notre menu régulier, d'où le prix exclusif. Nos desserts sur notre carte habituelle sont en effet à 9 euros.
Merci et au plaisir de vous revoir afin que nous puissions vous dédommager ! :)

Authentic Ethiopian food!

Homemade vegan Ethiopian food, great taste, friendly staff. In the beginning, only for delivery or pick up. The food is really tasty and staff is super helpful and friendly. It's definitely worth trying out!

I also had the chance to taste Vegitopia cuisine at Judgy Vegan, they organised 4 special dinner nights in June 2022. It was great, even more special served in a big plate of injera, beautiful food, made with care and of course very delicious :)

More recently visited their pop-up in central Brussels, the deco and atmosphere is vey authentic and food is simply amazing. And of course, their 5-star staff, super friendly and helpful ! Highly recommended!

Lunch with friends

Went with two friends, we weren't super hungry, so we shared the menu for two. We all liked it. Had a cheezcake to top it off.

Absolute gem! Amazing flavours

We went for the share plate. 9 different stews and sauces to eat with the traditional bread. The balance and variety of flavour was incredible. I totally loved all of it. I couldn’t pick a favourite from the 9, they were all perfectly balanced with spice, flavour and texture.
I also had the spice hot tea, another real flavour explosion yet with a clean soft and sweet finish.
These guys are incredible. Get behind them, Brussels is lucky to have them.

Pros: Flavour sensation, Variety of flavour, Great people

Original et délicieux

Cuisine éthiopienne pleine de saveurs à manger avec les doigts. La reine ici est l’injera, sorte de grande crêpe à base de teff, la céréale locale, qui sert à la fois d’assiette et de couverts. On la plie pour attraper les sauces et ragoûts servis avec. Les « three stews » à la carte sont délicieux, pleins d’épices et de goûts très marqués. On reviendra tester les autres plats !

Cons: Peut-être un peu cher

Nice encounter with Ethiopian food

We tried the Ethiopian style lasagna at the Vegan summer Fest in Gent. It was surprisingly not to spicy. I always assumed that it was. Nice flavours. Would try Ethiopian food in the future again.

Pros: Nice flavours, Not to spicy , Friendly staff

Surprisingly delicious!

We rarely try African food that isn't North African so when we saw their stand at Vegan Summer Fest we had to try it. Food was tasty and looked pretty with the different coloured layers. I normally don't like beetroot but I didn't ind it in here. Definitely want to try Ethiopian cuisine again!
