    We were impressed with the reviews and booked a table for dinner, sitting outside. We arrived, were seated, and put in our order pretty quickly. Drinks arrived, and we chatted and caught up with each other. I'd read reviews that food was pretty slow, so had a snack before I came out and wasn't starving. THANK GOODNESS. Food took an hour.and.a.half. Yes, a full 90 minutes. For a range of tasty curries that were either in a slow cooker or heated in the microwave, plus injera. I have absolutely no idea what took so long. Made worse by the fact that there were no appetisers or nibbles. We asked a few times and were told it was coming soon. I think we did manage to get one more round of drinks in that time, but had a hard time getting drinks topped up with food. Food was good when it came, we did a veggie combo and a meat combo. They were very good, but not at all worth the wait. I would hope it was a fluke but looking at other reviews I suspect it's not something they are good at, so I can't really recommend it at all.

    3.5 stars. Cute restaurant with a lot of character. The workers are really kind and attentive. We got a combo vegetarian platter. The food was good, but not great. The Ethiopian restaurants back at home have more flavor, so that's what I'm used to. I do like that you can end the meal with some complimentary popcorn.

    The food was very tasty and less spicy than Ethiopian food that I am used to. Everything was very flavorful and richly seasoned. My plate came with lots of veggies in addition to the meat and was very reasonably priced! The kitfo was delicious and a little spicy; the flavors other than spicy stood out spectacularly. I wish this restaurant was closer to home. My waiter (possibly the owner?) was really nice and spoke English well.

    The vegan option

    I really wanted to give 4 stars, but even after waiting a week, the experience is still a big negative. We asked the waitress questions to decide whether to take injira to share or each will take a dish, because we aren't super hungry and don't know the dish sizes. She said she doesn't know how many dips are there in the 2 injira options we asked about, and was impatient when we asked what would she recommend given we are not very hungry. The allergenic marking suggested the from the 2 non-meat injiras one has dairy and one is vegan, but she insisted both are, while not knowing what exactly the dips are. We ended up sharing one injira with dips and taking a beer each. The beer (pils) arrived with very little bubble. Felt a lot like it came from the bottom of the keg, so we asked if we can get a fresh one. This time it was a waiter, and he almost argued with us that it was opened just today and that we "can come with him to the basement to see, 100 bucks if it's wrong". Almost felt like at a market. I said I would like another beer, he said ok, took my beer and never came back to our table. The injira was tasty as they always tend to be, but nothing unique. The bill was about 35€. So to summarize, the food is nice and I wish the experience was also nice.

    Tastes A LOT better than it looks.

    By far my favorite restaurant in Berlin! Went here with my family and the food was awesome. Possibly the best Ethiopian I ever had anywhere. Fantastic tibbs and doro wett perfect with injera to share with friends and family. Service was a bit slow but they gave us popcorn while we waited. At the end, complimentary Ethiopian coffee which will keep you awake for days; it's so strong. Even better, a massive feast cost four of us around €40. I can't wait to return.

    My friend and I both got the same vegetarian dish. She loved everything about it. Unfortunately, I…read morefound the red lentils a bit too salty for my liking & the green beans tasted a bit funny to me. Other than that, service was good, nice ambience.

    It is our first night in berlin and we are starving. The restaurant is nearby where we stay and…read morecommerating our first day here, we say what the heck! Let's try our first Ethiopian meal ever in german. One Word - Amazing! We ordered the Lamb rack and beef goulash combination. The beef goulash came in a huge platters full of stewed long beans, pickled vegetables and others on top of what seems to be huge pancakes. The lamb came on the side on a candle heated serving platter. They also gave two extra heaping piles on pancakes on top in case those are not enough. You're supposed to eat using your hand, picking up the multiple toppings using the pancake as your spoon. Awesome idea btw and totally makes sense if you've ever been to southeast asia ( I grew up eating half my food using hand instead of chopsticks or forks =p) On the first bite of the lamb, you can't help but say oooooo. All the spices are blended well together and the meat melt on your mouth. It was that good. The spices in beef goulash was blended expertly together and for me, taste comforting. The vegetables, beans, and "pancakes" round up the healthy balanced meal. Overall a great place with friendly owner. I'm glad that my first Ethiopian experience is in blue Nile =)
