From the owner: Welcome to YEnat Restaurant in Mannheim. In Amharic Ye Enat means that of the mother. And this is…read moreexactly the way you can experience the Ethiopian food and our traditional coffee: as if made by mothers hand. And everyone knows that mother's food tastes the best! Ethiopia is a colorful, multi-ethnic people that populates the Horn of Africa. It is the origin of not only man, but of our coffee as well. Because the magic cherry has its home in the region of Kaffa- in the southwest of Ethiopia. Most Ethiopians eat almost half the days of the year vegan. For this reason, the vegan kitchen in our home is very versatile and pronounced. Injera, the traditional Ethiopian dish, is a very thin, soft flatbread made from millet, flour, yeast and water. It is the healthy basis for every dish and amusingly replaces all the plates. We invite you to enjoy the tastes, smells and customs of our homeland at the Nile and to find a home in Ethiopia.

The vegetarian lentils were well prepared. The pleasant decor was interesting and it was quite busy on an Friday night. A good option from the ordinary in Mannheim.

Wir waren gestern Abend zu fünft da und waren begeistert: Das Ambiente, der Service sowie die…read moreSpeisen und Getränke waren hervorragend. Sowohl die Fleisch- wie auch die veganen bzw. vegetarischen Gemüsegerichte waren von ausgezeichneter Qualität und perfekt gewürzt, nicht zu scharf aber auch nicht zu mild. Der empfohlene Wein, ein Syrah aus Südafrika, passte perfekt dazu. Man isst übrigens wie traditionell in Afrika mit den Fingern indem man das Gemüse oder Fleisch mit kleinen Stückchen vom Fladenbrot, dem Injeera, aufnimmt. Aber wer lieber mit Besteck essen möchte, der darf das natürlich auch. Der Service war freundlich und humorvoll, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und empfehlen das Restaurant gerne weiter. Aber bitte einen Tisch reservieren, das Lokal ist zu Recht beliebt und gut besucht.

Friendly service, good food, nice atmosphere. I will always return. Location is great.read more

First any African reading this, know her meals are not really African. It's a brilliant evolution…read moreof the Ghanaian and other west African meals to suit European taste buds. It's amazing what she has done with it. For the food and restaurant, I would have given a 5 star. May be a 4.5 because the portion sizes could be bigger. The problem is mama pearl does not joke with Africans. We initially perceived her to be extremely rude and over bearing and somewhat condescending towards other Africans only for her to suddenly convert into an angel sharing experience, giving hugs by the time we left. I will most definitely be going back but if you do decide to go, do not say you were not warned of her somewhat brash first impression. That said, she grows on you like your favorite grand mother.

3.5 stars. I love…read moreEritrean/Ethiopian food, so when I heard that there is an Eritrean restaurant in HD, I had to tried. The ambience is nice. There were African decorations throughout the place and African-themed paintings on some walls, and the orange walls give the place a warm feel. Definitely suitable for groups of friends or for a date. Unfortunately, the service was very spotty. We often had to wait (to get menu, to order, to pay), and I notice the server (possibly owner?) was just taking care of bigger dining groups before coming to us. Then whenever we got his attention, it was short-lived, but on a slightly better note, he did apologize for the delay. We ordered a 4-dish vegetarian platter with mushrooms (Kantischa), spinach (Hamli Spinat), red lentils (Tumtumo Brsen), and potato curry (Alicha) as well as Kulwa Berai (sautéed beef with peppers and onions in a tomato-based sauce), both served with injera. The vegetarian platter was all good and tasty, but I was hoping for more flavors with the beef dish. I would probably go back on a less busy day.

Loved the ambience and the service. The servers were very friendly, telling us both how to eat the…read morefood, and let them know if the food was too spicy/too bland. They did forget one dish, but apologized profusely, and gave us the dish. The food was nice too (but that depends heavily on your taste). The dried pumpkin tumblers were a very nice touch!
