Often I get boored with the normal selection of foods like hamburgers sushi pizzas…read more.. But a couple years ago my friend told me about this Ethiopian cuisine called "Injera". So I tried it and absolutely loved it! The spicy strong flavours, meaty sauces and unique smells alone is making me hungry as im writing this... Now Ive been to 4 out of 5 Injera restaurants that I know of and Lalibela had it all. The best Ethiopian food in Stockholm, thats my opinion. Great food, cool atmosphere, good prices and friendly staff. I had a lovely time and will be back again soon. Desserts could have more alternatives but other then that 5 stars:)

Easily the best Eritrean food (from Ethiopia) I have ever had…read more My server spoke a bit of English and brought me an English menu. When I asked I wanted a selection of various items, she recommended I get the Beb'Ainetu--the selection of spinach, curried potato, yellow lentil curry, lamb curry and chicken curry with egg on the Injera (think tangy, fluffy-spongy pancake) was irresistable. Yes, the food takes a while to emerge. So treat yourself to a languid meal and savor the love with which this spectacular food is made. Here's a pro tip: eat ONLY with your right hand and fingertips. Do not lick your fingers. Flick excess food and sauce back onto your platter. Pick up some Injera with your fingers then tear it with 1 hand by grasping it between thumb and fingers and pushing away with index finger. Then plop the piece on pancake on the food you desire to pick it up.

Happened to stumble on this restaurant by chance when I was exploring the Rhadhuset train station…read more Overall atmosphere and ambiance is great. Background Eritrean music makes the mood mellow. When I visited, the restaurant was packed with mostly Eritreans which is a good thing since it shows the authenticity of the food. I had issues communicating with the hostess who could not understand clearly my American English. I was lucky there was a table left and was seated quickly. The menu is in Swedish. I used the Yelp app to view the reviews, tips, and pictures of the food. I ended up trying the lamb with injera. It took a while to get it, but when I did, it was God sent! Be prepared to use ur fingers. They also have a board by the bar with all the specials for the day. Great food overall. I'll come and check this place out again.

Food: Only a few dishes are worth the pricey price tag: key…read moresiga tibs and kitfo. The small portions are unusual for Ethiopian restaurants. The different mixing plates, Beyaynetu, are subpar. Flavorless and cantine quality. I am Ethiopian, I know how the food should taste like. Take out: It is possible but you have to pick it up yourself. If you are considering ordering, make sure to order single dishes. Because of the large company at home, we ordered, amongst other dishes, a mixing plate - Beyayneto, meat edition. In addition to including an unrecognizable minced meat dish (for spaghetti sauce?), all small dishes were cramped into two boxes and thus, were literally mixed! The doro wet, siga wet and beg kej wet were all mixed in a tiny take out box. I know, all food eventually mixes together in my belly but I would like to be able to distinguish the different dishes before it reaches my belly. Atmosphere: Probably the coziest Ethiopian restaurant in Stockholm if you manage to come in a company large enough to secure one of the two wooden gojos (Ethiopian mud cottage from the country side) built indoors. If not: The restaurant has two sections: the gojo-section and the dining hall section. The latter is as charming as a hospital cantine. One star for the atmosphere in the better section, one for the food.

I had the traditional beyeayenetu with injera and different stews and vegetable mixes. My favorite was the spinach mix but I also loved the lentil stews. This place is great and the staff is very friendly. I wanted to try one of their Ethiopian beers but unfortunately they were out of all of them. I guess they finish pretty fast since they probably are specially delivered from Ethiopia.

Very nice experience for me. This restaurant is placed…read morecentral but yet almost hidden! We got there around 7:30 and the place was almost full but we got a table. I liked the dining area. Fresh, renovated, clean, airy and smoothly lighted, plus African music of course! Loved the food. Strongly spiced, keep yourself away if you are not a fan of chili and cumin. We got a mixed dish with beef, lamb, chicken and lentil and I fell in love lentil thing. Very special bread, nothing that I had tried before. I was not sure about eating with hand but it went well, a new experience! The winner of the night was the Ethiopian coffee. What a fresh and smooth taste! With touch of cardamom. Nicely served. & popcorn! Surprise! The noise level is lower than many other places. It was possible to talk without shouting. But if you are after a place to seat and drink, this is not the right place. You have a drink menu but no space as a "bar" And not to forget, very nice and friendly personnel, ready to explain the details on food and coffee for you, just ask.

I was here this weekend. It was very very crowded, which is a good sign…read more We booked a table before and were placed downstairs, where the ambiente was different (I think downstairs is also used for events because I saw some big spot lights on the ceiling) Either way, it was also good to sit downstairs as we could have conversations without having to scream at each other. Except us there were a few other sitting downstairs. Well, most of us had not eaten Ethiopian food before so we knew its gonna be different from what we usually eat. The staff was very friendly and quick with everything. So I ate lamb stew, which was severed with a small salat and bread. The bread was the coolest thing I have ever seen. It was flat like pancake, it had almost the texture of pancake one side had like the pattern of a sponge. Really cool. And mixing lamp and bread was very interesting. I am a person who doesn't like when I have bone pieces still connected to meat or any sort of remains of fat from the meat, which was the case. I am sure this is a typical way of serving the food also if my mum cooks turkish she does the same. So I am kind of used to it but not necessary like it. And one of my friends actually ask the waiter for something different because she couldn't eat it like that not because it wasn't good. It was good. But as I said some people are used to having meat neatly cut etc. Either way it was a very good experience. If you love love Ethiopian food I guess this is worth the visit.

We were not told to get our own water or bread (it's on a side bar near the entrance). There was no one in the restaurant except two people already finished eating, yet it took 45 minutes to get our food. Two people came out of the kitchen and were loudly arguing while sitting at a table next to us. One was wearing an apron and then finally went back in the kitchen after I kept looking at them with annoyance. Too busy arguing to make our meal apparently. I believe they completely forgot about us or making our food. Service is abysmal. Not once in almost an hour did anyone come to check on us or tell us our meal was delayed or tell us to get our own water. The food was good, not great. Fries way too salty.

It's a vegan place and the diversity of the customers is really different. If you are a vegan, hipster who does CrossFit this is the perfect place. The restaurant wasn't bad but honestly it felt to much of a political place for me. I want a place where I can relax and enjoy the food and the environment. It was to much of ANTIFA, communist and hipster vibes for me. The place is very small and it can be tight. If you want cheap vegan food that tastes ok then this is the place for you or if you just want to try something new.

I like the fact that they don't ferment their injera for too long. That way the taste is not so…read moredominating as many Ethiopians would prefer it themselves. I am a big fan of this place! The food is nice and the prices are very neat. There is even a discount for takeaway. On top of that this place is also the only (?) place in town where you can gulp down a Tusker! Every time I drop by tell myself I should go for just a drink one day, but that has yet to happen. This summer they have opened up an outside bar at the corner of Sturegatan/Skolgatan. They also have an outside veranda on the back of the restaurant.

I was really hoping the only place in Uppsala that offers Ethiopian food would've been better…read more Unfortunately this place is a mess. Yes, the owner is really nice and the decor is very attractive, but that fails to makeup for all the bad. The injera is not really injera. There is almost no fermentation...it is basically tasteless bread made spongey (somewhat like real injera) with some kind of leavener instead of fermentation. Honestly, it feels like it has purposefully been done that way to cater to non-Habeshas. Injera is an acquired taste, I give you that but the fermented injera really complements the sauces well, you miss that whole experience here. The restaurant is really busy, but the crowd here is mostly white, not one Habesha (Ethiopian/Eritrean) was seen. Usually, if you have no natives eating their own cuisine at a restaurant it is a good indicator something is off. The prices were very high, especially considering the small portions and the quality of food. The sauces and meats were seasoned decently, but nothing special. There is a berbere sauce that the restaurant offers that is quite delicious though. There is a nice selection of alcoholic beverages and the wait staff is attentive and helpful. When we went the card terminals were down and we were not notified ahead of time (we had to wait 15-20 minutes while the staff repeatedly ran our pay cards). We finally had to go to an ATM to withdraw cash to pay, this soured our experience more. Our time was compensated with a candy for each of us. :/ Final verdict: way over-priced, inferior injera, decent sauces, but good service and decor. Will not be going back. Honestly, make the trip to Stockholm instead (New Mama Africa, Gojo, and even Ethiostar would be better).
