The food was excellent as usual. I highly recommend this restaurant for an authentic experience of Ethiopian food and ambiance. I love that they play Ethiopian music in the background. The only negative thing is not serving an authentic Ethiopian dessert.

It was all good and the service was excellent

Delicious food and warm staff. However, ordering and speed of getting food is quite slow, even at a non-rush meal time. Had to chase people a bit to put in orders, and took about twenty minutes to get drinks. If you are not in a rush, excellent food, just be prepared.

Excellent experience: first time to try Eritrean food and it was really good. Also nice the experience of eating with hands and sharing the common dish. With Thefork promotion, it was even more convenient.

Not the best service and warm welcome we had expected! Food was OK but pricey for what it is. We took the vegetarian mix and it’s expensive for just lentils and chick peas…

Good good, good vibes. Eating with your hands really does make the food taste better. I recommend for a date or just chilling with friends.

Four of us having a dinner, 2 vegetarian dishes, 2 meat dishes this evening. The beef is suspected to cause a serious food poisoning of two meat eaters - vomiting, diarrhea..... this experience covered all other experiences of the evening

The food is good, but nothing exceptional (note that this might be due to my personal preference). The service was very good, but I’d say where this restaurant really shines is in the atmosphere, which is top notch.

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere: highly recommend to go with friends and share a meal! The servers were lovely, though hard to flag down for service. Will definitely come back!

Restaurant looks nicer in real life than on the pictures, food is great, and so is the service. The restaurant is well located too, close to the metro system.

Good food and fun to eat.... we tried 'la degustation' we had 3 services and it was mostly vegetarian. Not a fan of the 'galettes' but a must try experience.

Amazing service and amazing food ❤️????

The vegetarian food was delicious. Pricing wise a bit too expensive to come for regular meals, but for a special Occasion great!
5.0
we were really disappointed by the quality of the service...(and surprised, given that the previous times we went was good) – also the food seemed like old/reheated...
5.5
This was not the first time in this restaurant. In general, there is a good atmosphere, the staff is kind and the food is good. This time was not like this, with a almost empty restaurant, we had to ask 3 times to have water and napkins. The normal basic service was not there... and the food was not great. With so many Ethiopian restaurants in Lausanne, we won’t return To this one.
6.0
We tried this restaurant taking the -50% deal offered by The Fork. To our surprise, the full menú was not available, as opposed to what was advertised. Only the degustation menu was available, so we could not choose. The restaurant was quite full, but there was only one waitress. She was doing her best, but we had to wait long for being sited, taken the order and served. The food was OK but was not what we expected. I only wanted chicken, but the set menu was mainly beef and lentils. The dessert was also fixed and it came with pineapple, which I’m allergic to, so I could not eat it. The highlight was the coffee, it was really good.

Lovely and welcoming staff. The food was excellent and a really great value with the Fork discount. The lamb, samosas, and Ethiopian coffee were great. Highly recommend.

- Authentic look & feel: You can choose between traditional seats and table or for those who prefer the regular chairs & tables. - The food also came in traditional plates and tasted really good, definitely something we want to experience again
6.5
The food is okay, but came barely warm. the service is really non existant. Really disappointed even with the fork discount.

Always a safe bet - good ethiopian food in an authentic setting!

Excellent food!! Unfortunately I think they have some staff shortage and as soon as the restaurant is full you’ll have to wait minimum 1,30 h to eat.
