Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Not a swanky restaurant, this has real charm and a warm welcoming feel from the lady we met. Were given the option of hands or cutlery, went with hands and let them recommend our food - a mixed dish of meat and vegetables, and the...crispy beef, which was all delicious. Great place.More

First time in a Ethiopian restaurant and I will go back surely. Small location with about 20 seats, Spicy food like the tradition and service time quite long. If you are vegan/vegetarian the options are various. I recommend book in advance

We found out this restaurant while we were looking for an African restaurant near our home. The prices are low, the portions are huge and the dishes are flavorful and spicy just right. Last time I had gotten a plate so big we could have...eaten for two. We will come back for sure!More

I was at this restaurant and I was so happy. When I entered, there was a kind of Tigrgna music which I like most as Ethiopian.And We ordered beyayinet which was so special. She is also nice.

Had a very high expectation based on TA’s reviews but got a bit disappointed. There was no English menu so was quite hard to understand (had to google translate the menu), family owned who are friendly but having said that the space is quite limited...and the service is quite slow. The lady (whom I assume to be the wife) seems to be doing most of the works, taking order, perhaps cooking, bringing out order, serving drinks and clean dishes while the gentleman was looking after a toddler and taking payment only. It took about half an hour to finalise our order, an hour for our order to come, 15 minutes to eat and another 15 minutes for the bill to come. It seems to be a popular choice as a the restaurant was a full house and being that the place was quite noisy which is quite lively but hardly able to speak gently as the tables are close to one another.More

Food is amazing, owner is amazing, everything is AMAZING! It was the best meal we've had all throughout Europe in the past two weeks (Bruges, Paris, all throughout Italy). If you have the opportunity to enjoy a meal here, take advantage of it and you...will not be disappointed! Only wishing we had another day in Bologna so we could come back...More

We found this place by chance and we left very pleased. The food was even better than expected, a true African experience not diminished by any "local" approach. Which is what we wanted. The owner's smile makes you feel very welcome. Not a fancy restaurant...but worth going back several times!More
