Tolle Philosophie, sehr leckere vegane Platten

Die veganen Enjeraplatten sind eine Offenbarung! Auch der Humus als Vorspeise ist sehr lecker! Sehr nette Atmosphäre und colle authentische Design!

Pros: Gewürze, Einrichtung, Philosophie des Ladens

Very good food with generous portions

The restaurant has two different rooms with two different entries, so if one is full (and that place does get busy!) you might have a table in the other room. Fun fact : the room where we stayed has sand on the floor, so it's like if you're in the desert or the beach. You can have hummus to start with and then a mixed platter with only vegan dishes. We went for the vegan mixed platter that had injera, the four vegan dishes of the menu and salad in the middle. All of this was super tasty. The staff is also very nice and fun .

Tasty food

This place gets a lot of hype and the vegan platter was indeed quite good - I would not say it is my favorite place to get Eritirean in the city but it's a great option if you're nearby

Pros: Atmosphere

Atmospheric eritrean restaurant

You can have a mixed vegan plate as a main course and hummos as a starter. There is also a vegan dessert available.

Variety platter is perfection

I got the vegan variety platter for dinner. Chickpeas, lentil, spinach, and potatoes dishes were all delicious. Potatoes were magically spiced. Chickpea dish was a bit sweet and gave my mouth the most lovely coziness. Would recommend.

Pros: Every vegan option is delicious

sehr empfehlenswert

ich kann afrikanische/ethiopisch/eritreische küche immer empfehlen, einfach von der erfahrung ist es etwas komplett anderes. es ist meistens alles ohne fleisch sofort vegan (außer die nachspeisen) und man kann auf einer platte alle speisen probieren. sehr schöne atmosphäre, es gibt auch ein bauhaus! für sonderplätze muss man früh reservieren

Komplett neue Erfahrung

Wir hätten auch Besteck bekommen können... Aber die ursprüngliche Art afrikanisch zu Essen ist mit Brotstückchen Sauce aufzunehmen und zu Essen: also Essen mit den Fingern😄wir haben es probiert, was gerade am Anfang gewöhnungsbedürftig war - hat Spaß gemacht und lecker war die gemischte vegane Platte obendrein. Absolut empfehlenswert

Awesome experience

My first time eating african food. You don't get cutlery and eat everything with "bread". The hummus was literally the best hummus that I ever had. It had so much flavor and had the perfect level of spice. I think it's a great idea to have a small menu because choosing is really difficult for most vegans I know.

A fun experience!

When people visit me in Frankfurt, this is the first place I take them. Atmosphere is lovely, staff is always charming, food is PERFECT. Book the tree house seat for a good time!

Tasty food, good Drinks

I was there with some friends and had a good time. My vegan mixed plate offered 4 tasty dishes - all good on their own. Also, the homemade drinks were creative and good! Seating is quite unique and I have never seen a restaurant with a sand floor!. Would come back!
Prices are quite high, but that is how it goes in Frankfurt.

Secret spot in ffm only a local will show you

You can sit with your feet in sand indoors and they take really good care of you and your needs. Love to eat with my fingers. Great to go in a small group.

Eritreische Küche

Das Feeling wenn man ins Restaurant kommt, ist einfach der Hammer! Richtig coole Atmosphäre. Ich hab bisher immer die vegane, gemischte Platte genommen und es war richtig lecker.

I'd give 5 Stars...

...if Happy Cow allowed me to. Most amazing food. The spices they used were amazing, the bread exquisite and the staff super friendly. I'd highly recommend going there!

Tolle Atmosphäre und super Essen

Wirklich ein tolles Lokal mit zum Thema passender Einrichtung. Das Personal ist super freundlich und war auch bei der Reservierung flexibel und hat auf Änderungen super reagiert. Das Hummus als Vorspeise kam schnell und wr sehr lecker! Wäre aber nicht nötig gewesen da die vegane Platte als Hauptspeise echt riesig war. Aber auch extrem lecker! Als Besonderheit ist sicher zu erwähnen, dass traditionell mit den Händen gegessen wird!
Zum Glück konnten wir den Rest einpacken (hier wird das mittlerweile weit verbreitete ReBowl System verwendet! Super!). Definitiv einen Besuch Wert am besten mit Reservierung.

Pros: Faire Preise, Tolles Ambiente , Große Portionen

Immer wieder ein Muss

Ich liebe die Eritreische und Äthiopische Küche und freue mich immer wieder hierher zu kommen. Einzigartiges, kreatives Ambiente und gemütliches Flair kombiniert mit leckerem Essen machen das Restaurant einfach zu einem absoluten Favoriten. Das Essen ist total lecker, der Service ausgesprochen freundlich und die Preise angemessen. Immer wieder gerne ☺️

Pros: Viel vegane Auswahl, super lecker!, Super Ambiente , Sehr freundliches Personal

Cons: Kleine Getränke, Teils nicht so bequem um lang zu sitzen

Lively Ethiopian/Eritrean restaurant with huge vegan plate

This had a buzzing atmosphere. Highly recommend to make a reservation as people kept coming throughout the night starting from 6pm and needing to stand for a while to get a table. Fun décor inside although we sat outside. Excellent Ethiopian/ Eritrean food – I had the vegan plate of injera (the fermented bread) served with four curries (spinach, potato, red lentils, and chickpeas) plus little salad in the middle. Tasted great. I was hungry and couldn’t finish it! Really recommend it. Please note they do not accept credit cards - only debit cards and cash.

Pros: Buzzing atmosphere, Excellent vegan plate

Cons: No credit cards

Go here. You will not be disappointed!

We opted for a vegan platter for two. 12.50 euros each, which consisted of Eritrean injera, two ground tomato Chickpea dishes, one tomato lentil dish, one potato, carrot and tomato dish and one sautéed spinach dish. The portions were huge. We went in very hungry and could not finish it! The food is eaten with your hands.

Pros: Very tasty, traditional dish. , Cosy atmosphere.

Cons: Very busy, you will need to book or go early.

Super special and romantic dinner

This place is great for a date with someone you really care about (great for any other occasion as well I suppose). You only eat with your hands, no cutlery allowed! It created a very intimate atmosphere if you share. The veg sharing plate is huge, and it's amazing! I want to go back ASAP.

The restaurant is really cute as well. Love this place, food is amazing and the staff is lovely. Also tried the banana cream dessert, it was quite heavy but big enough to share... We did get some spoons for this though:)

Pros: Great food, Super nice atmosphere , Good for a romantic date

Cons: Gets busy

I'm craving it everyday

The food was amazing! There are lots of vegetarian options and I think about half of them are vegan as well, The people there are really nice and made us feel welcomed. The seating arrangement can get a bit cosy but that can make an evening even better if you can start a conversation with strangers. It's pretty popular so I would recommend reserving.

Pros: The food is made with love , Foodorgasm , You won't end up leaving still hungry
