You know you’re in for an interesting experience as soon as you enter, care has been taken to create the perfect atmosphere for casual dining.
A professional & friendly greeting, run through of the menu & we were left to browse a diverse range of dishes.
The food came quickly & our group of 10 praised every meal. Highly recommended!
Great atmosphere and friendly service. Food tasted and looked really authentic. Be prepared to eat with your hands, although thats half the fun!
Twelve of us had dinner there and choose the banquet. The food was very good, our host was very attentive and accommodating and the restaurant itself was good and clean. In regards to cost the banquet was well priced. In regards to authenticity - I figure if other African folk eat there it must be authentic.
Note- No knives and forks, so be prepared to eat the traditional way - which is no problem. Also they have back room with a couple of pool tables if you feel like stretching your legs. Would recommend this restaurant.
This is a hidden gem. It's not widely known outside the small African community here but it ought to be. Full marks for the food and the decoration which the proprietor has gone to great efforts to install.
The food alone here, is worth contesting over a car park in the busy street for. This place serves up tasty, authentic & well priced ethiopian food! Greeted by the smiling owner you immediately feel very welcomed. He takes the time to talk you through the menu & how to eat the delicious dishes with the injera (pancake style bread). This place is value for money & offers a very speakeasy kind of vibe. Always busy which is a good sign but not a surprise.
This place is not well known outside of the Adelaide African community. Hidden off Henley beach road, it's a rather large restaurant presenting East African cuisine. The food it flavoursome with very generous portions, all will a price you can't complain about.
If you haven't had food from this region do check it out. They don't seek alcohol on the premises, so be mindful if you like a drink with your food.
Ate here with a big group and everyone was very impressed with the quality of the food and the overall service! Will definitely be returning, and I recommend other people try this place - the food is delicious!

Ordered the Doro Wat. Perfectly tender chicken and a generous spicy stew with plenty of the traditional bread to mop up all the sauce. Perfect. Great customer service also
I recently dined with my wife on a thurs afternoon and was pleasantly surprised as a first time at having African food. the food was very reasonable[$30 in total including 2 soft drinks].the staff went out of there way to accommodate my wife who cant have any of the onion family, and explained all the dishes and modified one for her.Staff were friendly ,efficient and courteous and .asking if everything was satisfactory.The food was enjoyable and delicious and more than reasonably priced .very clean establishment and very friendly and welcoming atmosphere the chef also took an interest in customers dining there.All in all a great 1st time African food experience.which will see Jill and I returning again when I next return to Adelaide.
Delicious food, just walked in and tell Mo to make a share plate for as many on your table and let them weave their magic. Carnivore or vegan options and it's all delicious! Prices went up recently I think to about $25 per head which was a big step from the early days, but you are supporting a great effort to bring community together, do you get a triple bottom line!
My first experience with African cuisine. It was like travelling. I loved the place and the vibe. Something really unique and different. I highly recommend the experience. Food was tasty and great portions
Absolutely beautiful food, fantastic tea. Set in a unique beautiful setting accompanied by friendly polite staff. Everything was served with a beautiful smile from both the waiter and waitress.
The food was absolutely delicious and wholesome. It was also my first time trying Ethiopian tea and I loved it. Thank you for the wholesome feed.
The food was awesome, customer service is fine, limited place to park on Friday night, and limited seats options. Positive experience in general
If you want to taste some amazing food made to perfection and want to immerse yourself in this cuisine, then definitely check this place out.
I recommend first timers get the Taste Of Ethiopia plate which gives a little bit of everything, served on delish injera bread.
Forget the cutlery, the injera bread is for ripping up and scooping the food up with your fingers. (There's napkins and hand sanitiser on every table, don't worry!)
You will leave feeling full and satisfied. We have always left raving about our visits and bring friends... who then visit again and bring their friends!
One of our guests had a peanut allergy and they accommodated it flawlessly.
Finally we finished up with a huge pot of delicious traditional tea with cinnamon, thyme, mint and clove.
Make sure you book.

Really - amazing!
Sometimes it is hard to describe why you should visit a place but in this case it literally was every piece of the experience from the time of opening the door.
Lovely staff, well educated and super helpful....a really nice local feel, yet we'll appointed....and the food...WOW!
Go for the tasting plate and really get a full experience and then you mist mistrust have a tea or coffee.
The food is richly flavoured but not too spicey (hot), and fresh, it has zing, personality, texture and thought.
If you have never tried the lovely stews and fresh food of Ethiopia- don't be scared, it's amazing and something for every taste.
Highly highly recommend it and will be a repeat visitor for years to come.
We were guests at a party held at the centre / restaurant. Lovely African feel and experience. The food, I believe was traditional and well made. There was no alcohol - and none needed.
