I've never had this kind of food before but it was incredible! You don't get any cutlery, it just comes out on a giant pancake, and you grab the meat and sauces you want with that. Get banana beer!

Great choice of meals. You will get massive plate of what you ordered together on one plate so you can share. Vege-tarian options! Try Ethiopian red wine! Friendly service. Great music. Come back!

Generous portions. Get the veggie platter and the meat platter and three of you will be stuffed.

One of Amsterdam's hidden gems, and local favourite. For 3-4 people, ask for a big plate with a bit if everything.

'Tej' the Ethiopian 'honey wine' can be best described as 'honey liquor': incredibly sweet!!!

Will never go there again. We were 7 people and got our food served in one dish. Waiting 1 hour to get our food and at the end it wasn't nice at all. The waiter was rude and refused separate our food

The food was OK (except for the soggy pancakes) and the atmosphere was fine. They refused to serve tap water though (€6.50 for a litre of water!!!) and the service was extremely slow and inattentive

It's shame if you can't finish your dish... Because it's so good!!

Lekker authentiek Afrikaans eten. Erg vriendelijk personeel . Dinsdag en donderdag wordt de koffie vers gebrand en geschonken waar je bijzit.

Vraag of de keuken wat voor 2 personen klaar maakt! Heerlijk Afrikaans eten en goed personeel!!
