So anyone that knows us at Melbourne Culture Eats knows we go absolutely CRAZY for Ethiopian Food! 
We are always on the journey to try different cuisines from different cultures! Honestly Ethiopian is still our NO 1 and nothing has beaten it yet! 
In saying that, as we have eaten Ethiopian numerous times! We know good Ethiopian when we taste it! This place was up there as one of the best we have found in Melbourne!
The Atmosphere is Homely - there is nothing like walking into a cultural cuisine space and feeling like you have been transported to the country itself! The service was so genuine and friendly - as you would expect from Ethiopians!
The restaurant is usually targeted for Vegan/Vegetarian - please note that they did offer to make a beef dish for us to cater for my husband who just loves his meat protein! 

The Combination Platter is the way to go! a sample of everything! That Berbere spice drives us to a wild taste sensation! 

🍴: Combination Platter inc the following ......⁣

🍴: Foul ⁣

🍴: Miser Wat ⁣

🍴: Beef ⁣

🍴: Ater Wat ⁣

🍴: Defen Miser ⁣

🍴: Key Dinich ⁣

🍴: Tikel Goman ⁣

🍴: Dinich Ena Carrot ⁣

🍺: Walia Ethiopian Beer ⁣

To end - for the savvy purchaser the price point is great value for money! we promise you wont be disappointed. 

We will be back Addis Abeba !

An unassuming little restaurant that nonetheless, completely knocked my socks off. The service was excellent in an attentive, understated way. Water was brought to the table and poured on arrival by the host when she brought out the menus and seated us.  My companion and I shared the mixed vege combination, which consists of eight different wats and stews served on injera, with an extra injera bread per person served on the side. The food was fresh, superbly cooked and the flavours were amazing. Even though I over ate hugely (my taste buds weren't going to take no for an answer!), I still felt as if I'd just eaten good wholesome food, and didn't get that 'God-I-wish-I-hadn't-eaten-that-much' feeling afterwards. I had an Ethiopian beer on the side, and my companion had a lemonade and we walked out of there only $38.00 poorer. I can't recommend this restaurant enough, and we will most certainly be back there soon.

The kesir is fantastic, the meat zigni is excellent, the location is divine, I highly recommend this place, unless you are not a spicy food fan.

This is the best Ethiopian food that I have had in Footscray so far. The meat curries and dhal were so delicious. My only issue was that the food was pretty cold when served. Service was okay. The atmosphere is very casual, perfect for an impromptu catch up where you don't want to be rushed through your dining experience. Generous servings and very reasonable prices. Would absolutely go back.

Best Ethiopian we've had in Melbourne
Very friendly staff with smiles on their faces
Relaxed atmosphere
The mixed meat with injera was so delicious and filling we couldn't finish it
Injera is light, fluffy and a lovely lemony taste
Highly recommended, we'll be back!

First time having an ethiopian food. Its very interesting the place reminds me of a traditional family run establishment. The dishes are great. A little bit in the spicy side. Finally got the chance to try an ethiopian soundough bread. It works well with the meat / curry dish.

The food was great, the owner came to speak with us directly and even hand fed us injera in the traditional Ethiopian way. Overall fantastic customer service and ambiance.

Came along during Melbourne's Food and Wine festival and was delighted. Gorgeous family feel, tiny cafe but feels cosy rather than cramped. The food was divine, will definitely be returning :)

Fantastic African restaurant in a town that is dominated by African restaurants.

A word of advice, don't try to order take away over the phone, it never ends well. Just go in, be served by the lovely student who does her homework in between taking orders and enjoy the food. The take away menu is much more limited anyway so you will be missing out if you don't eat in.

The dishes are very filling. My 6ft 3 partner and I order a salad, entree and meat dish of some sort and always walk out stuffed. Our favourites are Special Tibs (cubed lamb with onion, rosemary, garlic, and jalapeno peppers on a hotplate) and the spicy lamb curry (without the butter).

We also highly rate the vegetarian platter (veganised) and the Sega Firfir (spicy lamb stew with tomato, garlic and onion tossed with injera). Plus, sometimes they have live music, which adds to the experience.

Westside best side AGAIN. Be ready and be hungry, this is a feed not to be missed. Amazing flavours, the flat bread is everything you’d ever want and more. Highly recommend coming here if you’ve never had Ethiopian before AND if you have then be prepared to have the bar raised in your mind. Come with a group and enjoy a a great time sharing!

This is a little and no pretentious place, but the essential for a restaurant is there: excellent and tasty food, generous portions and very good service. We tried a vegan plate for two, with lentils, mushrooms, potatoes and vegetables prepared with curry and tasty sauces. Absolutely delicious. The owner is also a singer, and her Ethiopian music was sounding as background. This is a must go if you like tasty and exotic food.

Food was absolutely delicious, the staff were friendly and attentive! The red lentils and salad doused in dressing were our favourites. We got the sharing platter for four, more than enough food for all of us!

Great experience, great food, great service. Quiet as we went outside busy time and the lady who served us was so helpful as we are beginners. Don’t mind the pic, kids never take good pics but they really enjoyed the meal particularly the potato in brown sauce. And they were very impressed with the fancy bread under all the meal!

Amazing food and the host/chef makes you feel like she is welcoming you into her home. The food is incredibly delicious. The have the best injera I have had. Make sure to ask for the special chili powder on the side, it really elevates the meal (if that is possible)
