Soo so tasty!

I love Ethiopian food as they always have great vegan options. This was no exception. Lovely staff and very accommodating. We went for the unlimited option and the food was soo good. Lovely teas too. Highly recommend!

Excellent tasting meal

The vegan tasting/sampling dish is really good! My only recommendation is to bring a vegetarian friend (or dine alone) because they serve the meat meal on the same injera platter as your vegan meal. The meat was on the other side of the plate, but close enough to the halfway mark that I had to avoid eating some of the food I'd ordered.

Pros: Varied vegan options, Super tasty

Cons: Meat served on same platter/injera as vegan meal

Vegan menu available with plenty of choice

The Vegan menu is composed of 8 different dishes served on crepes. Once you've finished them you're kindly served more, for free ^^
Food is delicious and staff very friendly.
Vegetarian and vegan food are labeled on the menu.

Best Ethiopian food!!

Went there with my non-vegan family for my birthday. Everybody was pleased! The vegetarian dishes are also vegan by the way. I would highly recommend it for special event as it’s pretty expensive. But since it’s like « an all you can eat », I thing the prices are alright.

Pros: Vegan options , Friendly staff, Really nice decor inside

Cons: Expensive

OK

Tasty food and great location. When you choose the vegan option, your plate is half empty, you can ask for more without extra price but it would be more polite to be serve as good as those who eat corpses.

Pros: decoration, taste

Cons: price, small portions

Ça change et c'est bon

Le menu végétarien est végétalien. C'est bon et ça change des habitudes. Peut-être un poil cher.

Unusual and delicious food

We ate here in May and were very pleased. Each plate contained an assortment of foods, placed on a large circle of bread. There were a couple of all-vegan choices and we enjoyed them all. Reservations would have been a good idea, but they did seat us anyway. Staff were very helpful.

Pros: delicious & unusual menu, friendly staff

Seriously my favorite restaurant in Lausanne

The vegan menu is just great! I went to many Ethiopian restaurants, but this one definately is my favorite! If you go there for lunch the price is gonna be cheap (but you better make a reservation!). Fast service, friendly waiters great food with so many flavors! Oh and by the way, I tested it, you can ask for more food if you're still hungry after one plate!

Pros: Taste is awesome, All you can eat for a cheap price, Fast service

Great food, reasonably priced!

Anyone who has visited Switzerland knows that it is insanely expensive. This restaurant is the best-priced we found during our time in Switzerland and the food is great! Don't let the outside of the restaurant fool you. It looks like it might be a bit shabby, but inside it is beautiful. The staff is super friendly and I would recommend it to anyone!

Pros: Excellent food, Great value, Friendly staff

Cons: Outer decor
