    If you would like a gluten free flat bread (injera), you need to book the day before. This came as a much darker bread, made of just teff flour which is naturally gluten free. The lighter colour breads they normally serve are made of a mixture of teff and also wheat flour. See photos. The staff on the phone and in person were very friendly and helpful, but limited English language ability meant it was a challenge to establish whether they could cater for gluten free. But they could.

    A must-visit: consistently delicious meals, and consistently made to feel welcome. Bit of a hidden gem in that you're unlikely to be walking past given the lack of much else to visit on Exchange St in the evening, and even if you are, it would be hard to know what's on offer inside - but it's amazing. Wicked selection of veggie and vegan options - I always go for the veggie sampler platter, which can comfortably feed 3 (if not 4) people, accompanied by one of the Ethiopian/Eritrean lagers they've got in the fridge. Food tastes fresh and is excellent every time. Prices have increased lately but still good value for money. Atmosphere is casual, relaxed and almost cafe-like with music and colourful decor and perfectly wonky pictures on the walls. It also seems to be a popular spot with the local east African community. Feels like a pretty unique dining experience (to me at least), and somewhere I always take visitors to Sheffield.

    I love this place. Somebody wrote in previous reviews that this restaurant is a hidden gem. I cannot agree more; well it is. Huge amount of dishes, with meat or vegetarian, very kind staff, and reasonable prices make this place worth to visit. Must visit, to be honest! And do not confuse yourself - the dishes are much bigger than looks at the photos.

    Great food good value. I had the Beye-Ayinetu which is a vegetarian (possibly vegan) dish .. it consists of small portions of lentil and vegetable dishes. It is served on a type of flat slightly spongy bread - you use the bread to scoop up your meal. It would work well sharing. If you eat meat or fish they have those options. I had it with a beer. I was very full by the end. Great value meal. Its not in a particularly nice part of Sheffield, the building is slightly post apocalyptic everything around it had been demolished. Seemed it was popular with the local Ethiopian and Eritrean community. My food was served in a touristy basket thing ... theirs was not. More of a cafe than a restaurant but all the better for it.

    I've been wanting to visit one of Sheffield's Eritrean/Ethiopian restaurants for a long time, and today was finally the day. I can't stop smiling. I don't think I've ever been to a restaurant and genuinely felt like I could order anything from the menu and enjoy it, but here I I did feel that way. It was a really tough decision to narrow it down, but I ordered the Key Tibs and it was absolutely outstanding. This place is definitely no frills, but in a clean and cosy way. I felt so relaxed here, not under any pressure, so I could just sit and enjoy a meal with friends. I would 100% recommend this place to anybody. The best restaurant I've been to in years. Do yourself a favour and go.

    I ate here on my first date with my lady friend who’s from Eritrea. First time I tried Eritrean food and it was different from any cuisine, I really enjoyed it. It’s very close to the city centre of Sheffield.

    Ordered the vegetarian sharing option, got a lot of meat. Waitress insisted it was vegetarian but this vegetarian doesn’t eat chicken, beef, or lamb… Thankfully not all of us were vegetarian so it didn’t go to waste, but it was disappointing. The parts I could eat were nice, and it was well priced. Would recommend, but vegetarians should be very clear when ordering that they don’t want meat.

    The experience of having something a little different deserves a top rating, the hostess was fantastic, too. Going is highly recommended as the food was delicious, get a variety of stuff to share or a taster dish to get a good sense of variety in flavour. However everything made me feel my pallette usually expects quite dull food. By comparison every dish was bursting with flavour, too many to really do justice in an explanation. Just go and try. Probably would benefit with being served either with the injura on the side, or extra items to scoop up with. As the injura became really rather sloppy in the centre with most the meal served on it. Quite possibly more about my palette usually expecting less flavor, more texture, so didn't detract from the enjoyment too much.

    We had really lovely food with friendly service too. We do not understand this cuisine but the menu was descriptive. We wish we live closer so we could visit regularly and work through the menu
