She ordered a combination of things, I don't remember all of the names, just that the service was great and the food was flavorful. Awash was walking distance from Lake Geneva. That doesn't mean much since the lake is so big, but I was able to walk there with a full tummy. The place felt like a restaurant at home. I would highly recommend it since it was delicious and referred by a local.

Yum! This restaurant has delicious food and is so much fun!

They had not toned down the flavor at all for the traditionally spice-resistant Swiss crowd. It wasn't spicy in terms of heat, though. I asked our waiter for some Berebere powder and he brought me Mitmita instead because it's even hotter. Delicious! And the portions were solid as well. We loved our meal and can't wait to go back.

Delicious! Excellent Ethiopian cuisine right next to the main square in Plainpalais. We even had…read morethe opportunity to try something new- with Ethiopian 'samosas' and honey wine. All so good! The food was excellent and the restaurant itself was beautiful, with great decorations from the country. Unfortunately, the restaurant was severely understaffed. We were smart to make a reservation at 7, and we were treated to excellent service, being the only customers at that time. Our drinks and food came quite quickly. However, as soon as 7 more tables were filled the one employee was completely overwhelmed and we didn't see him again. After 40min of waiting with empty plates we had to leave money on the table and left, even though we were supposed to get dessert with our meal. Great food, but definitely not a quick bite!

First things first, the food and service were excellent. No complaints there. This is among the…read morebest Ethiopian food I've ever had. However, there must have been a colossal mistake, because we've eaten in many Ethiopian restaurants, including in Geneva, and the amount of food we got for what we paid could only have been meant for one person, but we were charged for two portions.. Suffice it so say we left there hungry and stunned after we paid our bill. This has never happened to us before anywhere , so I hope it was just a billing error. I had to take two stars off. Otherwise it would have been five. Sorry!
