“ We booked through the fork. The taste was a bit bland for us, but the food was ok. Ps. This is for 3 people 88 fr. ”
“ Delicious food, above-average price, friendly service on a busy sunny day. If you were to order the platter, be sure to state the portion size (2,3 or 4 persons) clearly. It was only at the end that we found out that they gave us 3-portion size when we ordered for 2, to share amongst the three of us. 3-portion platter with plate diameter of about 50cm, with various meats and some vegetables, with additional 3 pieces of pancakes (not shown) for 80-90chf ”
“ A delight and pleasure to dine in very authentic delicious and exceptional eterian food. Friendly staff who were pleased to see that I ate with my hand the correct way. Also served extras as complimentary and the African beer tastes good also. Definitely would recommend and will visit again soon. Perfect all round. Price per person excluding drinks is 25CHF which is very reasonable. ”
“ Yums, amazing Eritrean food. These flavours are familiar and welcoming to my South East Asian palate. There’s a 50% off if you book via some apps which makes it a super deal. Dining is a communal experience here. Each platter holds up 3 portions - you get the pick the meat and then everyone’s food is plated together. I’ve forgotten the specific names of the dishes but here’s a vague review anyway. The beef dish is spicy! Love it. Reminds me of Indian cuisine The lamb dish (the ones with the specks of green chili) is nice I highly recommend the chicken dish because the gravy is yums. ”
“ A simple, but comfortable and clean restaurant. They serve delicious food with a smile. Loved the hospitality and flavours. Fresh and well made food. ”
“ The local Eritrean and Ethiopian community seem to love this authentic East African restaurant. Customers are expected to eat with their hands, in traditional style (but forks are available for those who prefer not to). The staff in this cosy and casual restaurant were welcoming and extremely helpful. We chose the Chef's Special tasting platter (a selection of tasty dishes served on a large savoury crepe/flatbread), a bottle of South African Pinotage, and finished off with spiced tea. Everything was delicious. Relative to typical Lausanne food prices, the final bill was very reasonable. ”
