    A really nice Ethiopian food buffet, with plenty of salads and meat dishes... and also Injera! (Ethiopian flat bread-pancake).

    Karls is just awesome! I grew up going loads to ethiopian restaurants and having lots of ethiopian…read morefood so when the chance came to go along with a group to have some injera, I was immediately on that train. It is a small family owned and run restaurant that gives you a very cozy and homey feeling. Alex greets you with a smile when you get in and engrosses you with very interesting stories about origins and history of the food all through the meal as he brings dishes. He really cares about where his ingredients come from and its very evident when he speaks about it. On display are lots of spices, coffee, some baskets from Ethiopia and books next to the windows all centering round the theme of Ethiopia. Some of the coffee and teas are even available to buy. We got a couple of mixed platters which came in the typical style I'm accustomed to. A large circular tray covered with an injera base with meats, vegetables and sauces on top for a couple of people to share together in a communal style of eating. Additional injera was also brought to eat. Everything was absolutely delicious from the bean sauce to the egg, mince etc. We all ate so much that at the end of the meal we had to seat back and relax for a bit before getting up. If that isn't an indicator of a great meal, I don't know what is. As it is both a cafe and ethiopian restaurant, also available are some cakes; the cheese cake looked good but I was just too full to try any and other treats you'd find at a cafe available. As we were in on a Friday night, we also got to experience the coffee making ceremony which they do only on Friday and Saturday nights so I'd recommend making a reservation and coming on those days if you would like to see it. The coffee beans are roasted as per the ceremony and coffee made for you to drink post-meal using the beans.

    Best Ethiopian restaurant in Hamburg hands down. I am Ethiopian and I haven't had quality Ethiopian…read morefood in Germany. My girlfriend also liked it. The place is small and intimate. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to have a good Ethiopian food in Hamburg. P.S. you'd need to get a reservation in advance.
