We went for a sharing dish which was said to consist of six different dishes, but unless the potato wedge and single egg count as dishes, I can only count four. The doro wat chicken - delicious! The beef was served cold, not sure if that's intended? The meat was also a very lean cut which led to it being a bit bland and "hard". The Lentils were good, well seasoned flavors. The spinach dish was unremarkable. 75kr for a tiny cup of coffee also felt too steep, despite the popcorn it came with. Cozy...

All in all it was fine, but I've had much better Ethiopian

Got the veggie platter with injera - it was sensational! So many great flavours, and very wholesome too. Lovely decor in the restaurant, fun music, and the service was very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!!

My friend and I shared the vegetarian platter which was really delicious! Some of the sauces have a decent amount of spice which we liked and it was nice to get different foods to eat from. The restaurant owner was very friendly and well informed about allergens (one of us is glutenfree). She also brought us warm and damp towels to clean our hands which was really nice after a day outside! The atmosphere was also nice and calm so we definitely recommend this local business!

Delicious food. Don’t be in a hurry. This place is run by just one person. If you are a patient and thoughtful eater you will enjoy your food. We recommend the vegetarian for two. Pictured is that plus a meat for you and a chicken stew. This was plenty for two.
