  “First time eating Ethiopian food. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Had stuffed peppers for starters, and a wonderful spicy lamb dish for main course. Washed down with two Ethiopian beers. Would definitely recommend and return.”

  “What a random little restaurant, very deceptive from the outside as it's just a door followed by stairs. But once inside it's a very nice place, very friendly owners and excellent food at an excellent price. I've marked down slightly on atmosphere as I was the only person in there, but I was there quite early. I'd definitely come back to Newcastle for this place!!”

  “The vegan sharing platter was all incredible, and the enjera (bread) naturally gluten free and delicious too. Really enjoyed the honey wine. Beautiful artwork and inexpensive. A hidden gem!”

  “Absolutely incredible dining experience at this Eritrean restaurant in Newcastle! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. What really stood out was the way the food was served — most dishes came as a shared family platter, which made the whole experience feel so authentic and communal. The flavours were rich, vibrant, and completely unforgettable. Every dish complemented the others perfectly, and eating together from one large platter made it feel like more than just a meal — it was a cultural experience.”

  “Lovely restaurant, we got the sharing platter which had lots of choice. Some of the dishes could have had a bit more flavour, but overall was very nice and would go back.”

  “What a fantastic, authentic experience! My first time trying Eritrean and Ethiopian food, and what a treat it was! I'm vegetarian and I was surprised by how much choice their was for vegetarians and vegans. A very welcoming environment with friendly staff where the dishes were explained, it was so nice learning about the culture. I loved the way the dishes were presented, and tasted delicious! Will definitely be recommending to friends and family 😊”

  “Delicious food, generous portions, great value for money, fast and friendly service. New owner recently took over about 8 months ago and he was very helpful and friendly. Had the Awaze Tibse which was a spicy lamb dish with pepper, it had lots of flavour. It came with enjera, a sour bread which has consistency of pancake which was nice too.”

  “Food is phenomenal, real authentic Eritrean and Ethiopian food. I had the vegan combo for 1 and the okra stew which was more than enough as the portions are very generous. Customer service was lovely and I’d definitely return.”

  “I don’t know how many times I’ve been here…I just love everything about this place. I always get Injera for two people, which offers super generous portions and price. It tastes amazing and has vegetarian options so it’s perfect for everyone. The sauce has got depth and very tasty. The staff is absolutely lovely too - I’ve had an issue with my card and thought I paid for the bills twice. The staff was very patient and made sure we can come back anytime and get money back if I overpaid. Absolutely wonderful place. Highly recommended.”
