Nice manager, very attentive to you. Food was delicious (Ethiopian cuisine is my favourite) - the portion was really good as was the price. I tried Ethiopian coffee for the first time today (ceremony), the price was actually very good and it was a lovely experience for the family.

You have successfully captured the ambiance of the establishment; however, subsequent experiences were less than satisfactory. The premises were adequately cleaned, including the bathroom.The culinary offering, while deemed passable for its price point and location, fell short of embodying true Ethiopian cuisine. The fusion was characterized as suboptimal at best and lacked authenticity. It is suggested that measures be taken to refrain from misrepresenting the traditional flavors and techniques of Ethiopian cuisine. While elements of authenticity were observed, the overall execution suggested that corners were being cut in the preparation of the dishes.

The food here was delicious! I went with my dad and we had the vegan meal for two. It was beautiful and tasted delicious and a very generous portion. The staff were super friendly and the atmosphere was very nice and authentic. I will definitely come back soon! Great value and delicious food.

We came here over Christmas to try something different and we got what we wanted. Very authentic Ethiopian/Eritrean food in an authentic atmosphere. Service was excellent and the food was amazing. Thoroughly recommended. Especially to anyone who has not tried this cuisine before.

I ordered the vegan mixed platter, it was delish, mildly spicy individual dishes on a tasty sponge like bread. Friendly service.

A hidden gem of Birmingham, this place is amazing in every way. When you see it from outside you think it's a tacky, but the decor is outstanding, the atmosphere is epic and the food is to die for. Reasonably priced as well, honestly a must go to if you in Birmingham. Price is unbelievable, we had starter, mains for 3, cold drinks and hot drinks and desser for little man all just over 60 pounds. Keep it up guys. My only little advise, just upgrade your shop front because it doesn't represent how truly brilliant you are.Vegetarian options: Brilliant

Had never tried Ethiopian/Eritrean food before and this was amazing. The hospitality of the restaurant owners was so heart warming. They greeted us with smile ever since we walked in. It's a family run business I am told and the owner Kassim is a lovely gentleman who goes out of the way to make your time at his place special. We ordered for Ethiopian beers Asmara and Habesha which tasted rather good. For starters it was vegetarian samosas and fresh salad to go with it. We order or injera bread which was soft as butter, fermented for four days and a little salty but perfect. Tastes so much like the South Indian dosa. We had that with telapia fish curry cooked with green peppers while my husband had a lovely chicken curry served with steaming hot rice and salad. The spicy curry was just perfect and carried a homemade touch. To owner even served us extra two extra injira bread which was huge in size and we could not finish so got home packed up! To end it all we opted for the Ethiopian offer ceremony, traditional and homely. The coffee beans were toasted for us, served in Ethiopian cups and a beautiful coffee pot. It's a bit bitter but so very aromatic! We dunked it in with sugar and popcorns. Not to miss is an aromatic incense which comes with the pot and paraphernalia. It was my husband's 52nd birthday and we came home so full and content! Would definitely like to go there again. This place is special and it's the people who make it that way. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant was beautiful, it was a Monday and quiet and we were treated like family! Would definitely like to come back again. Definitely recommending it to friends! Thank you Kassim and friends.

Very friendly staff and the meal was equally good. An authentic experience of true Ethiopian cuisine matched with a cosy atmosphere.
