  “Do NOT sleep on this place !! Really beautiful Ethiopian food, personally I had the Lega Tibs which is perfect if you aren’t a spice fan but still want something warm. My two associates had the Doro Wot which is a bit more on the spicier side but still comfortable and both dishes were delicious. What we did not know is that all dishes are served with Injera bread, which is perfect to dip with any dish, and very delicious. Food was so filling I could barely finish my plate. Absolutely beautiful, would recommend to anyone looking for real Ethiopian food.”

  “This restaurant was a real culinary discovery for us - it was our first time trying African food, and the experience was both interesting and memorable. We ordered chicken doro wot, beef kitfo, and a vegetarian platter, all served with sour flatbread. The flavors were rich and original, and everything tasted very good. However, even though I asked for medium spice, the dishes were still a bit too spicy for my taste. The service was excellent - the lady who served us was very friendly and took the time to explain how the dishes should be eaten, which we really appreciated. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the central location in Manchester. The only downside for me was the interior of the restaurant. Part of the space near the bar was used as visible food storage, which did not create the best impression and slightly affected the overall atmosphere.”

  “Definitely a five for the quality of food and amazing service. We had the two veggie options and two beers. The owner was so nice and I love the food so much! It is also very affordable as we pay £33 for two people with a full stomach!”

  “Habesha is my favorite restaurant in Manchester. I’ve visited it at least 15 times, and I keep coming back for the same consistently amazing quality. It serves the best Ethiopian food I’ve ever had, and the staff are always incredibly friendly and welcoming. The prices are very reasonable, especially since we usually share one meal between two people. I highly recommend trying the Yetsom Beyaynetu - it’s my absolute favorite, and I also recommend trying their coffee. Pictures attached are from multiple visits to Habesha.”

  “The service was very nice and friendly, we arrived when the restaurant was half empty, we waited half an hour for food. We had beef and chicken with their traditional pancake. I have to praise the chicken which was made tasty and interestingly seasoned. On the other hand, I did not like the beef at all, the meat itself was of poorer quality and it was seasoned with very different spices for my taste.”

  “Authentic and very different place for the UK and europe in general. I’ve only had Ethiopian once in my life before (in France) and this place didn’t disappoint. It was very authentic (you could see so many natives eating there), delicious and the portions were very generous, and the people very warm. The service however was very slow - I think they were understaffed and couldn’t handle how busy it gotten for a Saturday afternoon. Highly recommended tho if you want to try sth different! We go 2 mains to share and a vegetarian menu as salad and they came with tons of 🫓 their local bread. The lady showed us how to eat with the pita bread as spoons. The prices were super honest but they could work a bit on the interior (it was inside a kebab shop on the top floor) all I. All tho the food and the experience were delightful!”

  “An amazing find. Truly authentic with a lot of attention paid to the the quality, taste and presentation of food. We shared 3 dishes between us and were unable to finish despite wanting to eat more since the flavours are so amazing. There are 2 amazing vegetarian options, we had one and it really was great! Great service, comfortable environment and service was first class. Will definitely be back!”
