Asmara

Great vegetarian options, and excellent friendly service. No silverware (you can ask for some). The combo plates are served with bread in the bottom and you eat with you hands, very cool. The Honey wine is also a must!

I got the Begeeh Mloukhiyah and my friends got the Sega Bebaynatu-Meat Combination. I found the portion size for the Begeeh Mloukhiyah to be quite small, especially for the price. The flavor of the Mloukhiyah was quite good. If the portion size was larger I would return. As far as the meat combo, the portion seemed much larger even though we only got 1 order of it. However, the meat was very dry and was quite disappointing because I think the potential was there flavor wise. We also had to order more injera with the food, and it is $3 for each extra piece which seems like a rip off. Unfortunately, I don’t think I will be returning here unless significant changes are made. If you do pay them a visit, I would still recommend the Mloukhiyah just for the flavor and the fact that you probably w

Just wonderful all around! Friendly and helpful service, delicious food (similar to Ethiopian), and warm atmosphere. I’ve eaten in many Eritrean (and Ethiopian) restaurants, but never had the option for seating traditional style (around a basket filled with injera and dishes with small tables to the side for drinks) or western seating (at a flat table). Delicious, Italian-style desserts. I would definitely return!

Amazing, amazing! The food is delicious and the arrangement of the food is appealing, especially on the traditional Eritrean stool/table. The ambience is so beautifully Eritrean. It's homey: the curtains, the art, the flowers hanging from the roof, everything. The service was excellent, kind. I'd recommend going here for a date, especially in the evenings when the lighting is dim yet sufficient. It creates an intimate environment that feels romantic.

I tried this place out with my brother. We ordered the Sega Bebaynatu-Meat Combination. The server asked us “for two people?” And we said yes because we were going to split the plate. After we got the bill, they charged us for two plates. When we asked, she said it’s because we said it was for 2 people. I didn’t expect that our answer would translate to creating portions and plates for each person, because it came on just one big plate. I feel like when servers ask “for two people”, it means to split up the food between two of us, not to charge twice. In that case, I would’ve just ordered for the same plate twice! Like “can we have TWO sega…” Also, the desert options were available through a verbal menu only, so the price was transparent there either. We didn’t find out the price of everyt
