Great food

Ordered a vegan plate (I think it's the same as the vegetarian plate, but I specified that I wanted it vegan, don't know if that's necessary). Very delicious food. Super friendly staff. Nice seating options inside and outside. Would recommend.

Food was tasty, but not knowledgeable about veganism

The food was delicious, I took the vegetarian platter, which is a mix of different sauces with traditional sour pancakes.
However, the waitress was not knowledgeable about veganism. I had to list the ingredients we did not want with respect to a vegetarian diet.
They could improve communication on veganism by clearly indicating vegan items on the menu.

Pros: Very good, Spicy

Cons: Vegan options not clearly indicated

Can’t miss this place in Lyon!

We had never tried ethiopian food before, so we got the mixed veggie dish for 2 and loved it! Plenty of flavours and a touch of spice. We barely finished it all, it was so much food (so go woth an empty belly). We also had the samosas which were some of the best I ever tried!
Ask for the « boisson traditionnelle » for their amazing fermented honey drink.
Plus the staff was really nice and didn’t mind our broken french!

Pros: lots of flavours, spicy, traditional drink, lovely staff

Very good

We had the vegetarian, but actually vegan, platter and it was delicious. Everything was very tasty and the injera was very soft and fluffy.

Tasty 'Finger' food

The mixed plate for 2 persons is more than enough! Different tastes, colours and ingedients are perfect for a varied food experience.
We recommend the Restaurant with the nice owner. The written Walls from the customers around the World gives a special Ambiente.

If you want to have a fork, you should tell this as early as possible 😉

Pros: Variety of vegan options

We enjoyed a new different cuisine to us

Never really had such ‘hand’ food before, really enjoyed it, we were welcomed even though came in before they open

Pros: Delicious, but a bit heavy food, We were offered house made wine too!

So many amazing tastes

Enjoyed a great evening; the food not only looks but also tasted great, Asmara introduced me to some new tastes, the staff is very friendly and funny, and the price very reasonable for what you get. I highly recommend having dinner here when in Lyon!

Insider tip for Lyon

I highly recommend to stop by on your visit in Lyon. The food is delicious and the kitchen will even cook extra dishes for vegan customers. The staff is very friendly and well informed about veganism. Yet, there is a downside, unfortunately they serve meat😡

YOU HAVE TO GO

Beautiful food, the friendliest staff, and just a really lovely atmosphere! A whole page of vegetarian options which are all vegan! The portions are incredible, and the assortment platter is gorgeous - it was the first time I had tried Ethiopian/Eritrean food and it won’t be the last (would give 5 stars but I can’t as the place serves meat!)

Super tasty!

I had a mixed plate with the veggie options injera (crepe) and everything was very tasty. Would be even better going with more people to share different starters too.

Also it's more affordable compared to the restaurants in Lyon. I paid 15€ for the mixed plate but there are main dishes for 10€.

Thumbs up for Asmara!
