This place is very comfy. Pretty much like eating at home with the exception of eating exquisite Ethiopian cuisine. We had various Ethiopian dishes in a platter. Dessert was simplistic. The availability of craft beer was a nice surprise. The hostess was very friendly. I would definitely go there to try more dishes.
Support this place! As far as I could tell, it’s the only Ethiopian restaurant in Durban? Doesn’t look like much from outside, but indoors was really lovely, Delicious food, attentive service. The mango juice was insanely good freshly blended.
It was a really lovely spot, it is one of those places that give you a proper Ethiopian feel, not to mention they serve the best coffee and play some nice lounge, down-tempo and even afrobeat sounds, the music isn't loud and you can still hold a conversation. The place is filled with nice books and their sitting spaces are quiet comfortable. If you are a music fan, they have a few live shows on weekends, they are an arty place, so if you ever are in Berea, do pop in there.
Excellent, warm atmosphere and hosts. We ordered a simple dish because we were not hungry, it was very interesting and tasty. Cannot wait to come back
Durban's best Ethiopian food, great flavours, wonderful injera and friendly service.
The gem of the Helen Joseph strip! My family loves this spot so much. Delicious, quality dishes. Plenty of vegetarian and meat options to choose from. Friendly, attentive staff. Reasonable prices - Wednesday offers half-priced vegetarian dishes. Simple beer and wine selection - low corkage fee if you prefer to bring your own. Never a wait for a table. Highly recommend.
Amazing east African food and art and people.
Second time trying Ethiopian food first time was horrible at Queen Sheeba Jhb. I am very happy with the presentation, taste of food and quite friendly staff yet a little slow could be the reason for good food .... I think my whole perception of Ethiopian food has incredibly changed to really good...
Best restaurant in Durban! Amazing authentic, affordable Ethiopian and Eritrean food, great vibes and friendly staff. Check out their mini library on African politics and literature and comfy couch for when you have a solo coffee break, get a plate to share with friends for lunch or have a drink at the pavement tables to watch the nightlife go by. Often hosts unique afro-themed events... swing past and ask what's on this week.
A cultural experience. Very different from what we are used to around here. The food is not really what tickles my taste buds, but can't fault them as I haven't had any other Ethiopian food to compare it with.
