Délicieuse galette végétalienne

Accueil adorable et chaleureux. La galette avec ses garnitures végétaliennes est très bonne et vraiment copieuse.
Un endroit à recommander.

Délicieux

J'ai pris le menu dégustation végétarien, qui est en fait végétalien. Un pure régal !
Le restaurant est très chaleureux et le service aimable.

Go to in Geneva

Living here, I often come to this restaurant to get my comfort food . The veggie platter is nutritious, generous and packed with different flavors. He staff is lovely and service is rather fast. The atmosphere in the restaurant is also just super cosy!

Delicious Ethiopian food

We found this place as saw the reviews said big portions and we won’t disappointed! Shared a platter of vegan friendly dishes for 19CHF each - lovely spicy lentil stews and traditional breads.

Good food, slow service.

Ordered the veggie platter for two. Lots of food but it took half an hour to arrive. Outside seating.

Great first Ethiopian food experience

I came here by myself and ordered the Shuro which was a massive amount of food and every single item on the platter was delicious. It was my first time having Ethiopian food and I would definitely come back!

Different experience

If you want to try a new style of eating, this is your place. You get slightly sweet pieces of flatbread that you use to pick up curries with. No vegan declarations but traditional Ethiopian cuisine does not use milk and eggs so you're quite safe but can't hurt to confirm.

Delicious!

I loved the food here. It was delicious and flavourful, not oily nor too heavy. We ordered two vegetarian plates (which of course come on one huge plate) and we enjoyed the variety of dishes. The menu has spiciness rating which we both appreciated, though for different reasons: I usually go for the mildest dish and my partner for the spiciest! We were both happy with our choices. The staff were friendly and spoke English. There were definitely some regulars amongst the diners - and I’d be one of them if I lived in Geneva. As it is, I’ll be back next time I’m in town.

Amazing authentic food!

Was the first place we ate at in Geneva,  as first timers we were worried about what options they had but the staff were very friendly and reassured us that the option was had chosen was vegan. The platter was more than enough for 2 people and even got the leftovers to go in a microwaveable container!

Pros: Vegan options clearly marked

Cons: Little bit expensive

Hidden gem

I love this restaurant as they offer authentic Ethiopian cuisine. I can highly recommend the vegan assortment, served on injera. It's nutritious and super healthy and tastes divine!!! They open normally a few minutes after opening hours so just be calm and patient it's worth it!! I'd rate them with 5 stars even though they serve meat.

Pros: delicious, good value, big portions, healthy, fres

Cons: serves meat

lovely little restaurant

A lovely vegan meal we didn't have to insist on the ingredients the waiter knew. Very tasty and an excellent price 38 Sfr for the two meals in total.

Quite an experience, be prepared to eat with your fingers.

We will be back!

Pros: tasty vegan platter, served with a smile good services, clean and comfortable

Cons: only one option as in photo above for vegans, no vegan wine

Huge portions

This is a lovely restaurant which has a vegetarian menu at reasonable prices for Geneva. We ordered the vegetarian platter which contained two types of pulses and spinach which was delicious. The portions are so big we couldn't finish. With a bottle of wine it was very reasonable at about 76 francs

Pros: Portions, Price
