First time trying Eritrean, absolutely blown away

The variety of taste and the texture of the bun (?) totally blew me away.
We had the platter with variety of items.
The lentil mash tasted so much like chicken. The lentil soup also tasted very much like chicken soup.
I eat a lot and the portions were more than enough.
Very curious what the jackfruit menu is like. Definitely going back.

Delicious Eritrean food (and beers)

Lovely restaurant serving delicious food. The soups as starters (we tried lentil and peanut) were fantastic. The mains (just get the combo platter so you can try a bit of everything) are delicious. I love trying the different types of food they have. The injeras are delicious. Overall great food and would definitely come back!

Pros: Delicious food, Friendly owner

Good food, long wait

Eritrean pancakes eaten using your fingers, with tasty toppings. Only drawback is that the owner thought we needed gluten-free when we asked if everything was vegan. Lost in translation I guess. Food was quite good, but took quite long to prepare due to the mix-up.

Pros: Well-made food, Eating with your fingers!

Cons: Waiting for the waiter

Enthusiastic staff and wonderful tastes

Discovered this restaurant just now. Taste of Africa, fully vegan! We had the shared pancake, and a home brewed beer with it. Desserts fully vegan too. Would have liked to try the traditional dessert, but we were stuffed. Will be back!

Pros: Fully vegan, Accommodating and friendly staff, Taste of Africa

Delicious

We ordered the combi dinner for two and thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a nice mix of veg and lentil dishes, and of course the injera. The food was less oily than other Ethiopian places we have tried, which we really liked. I tried an Eritrean beer too, which was just ok but consistent with the theme. Cozy atmosphere with relaxing African music. The owner was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place.

Lovely food, but pricey

My friends and I chose the plate with dishes made for sharing. It was enormous and delicious as well. I could taste the care and love that was put into making the dishes. The employees were so nice too. The only down side of the restaurant is probably the price.

Pros: Big plates, Great service , Good food

Cons: Pricey

The African experience - all vegan!

One man operation in a cosy place with an eclectic mix of furniture and decorations. The menu is all vegan, even where it accidentally says 'vegetarian'. Main dishes are all the same, they're a combination of everything on offer, on a big plate - you only choose the sauce. Appetisers and desserts are individual, different dishes, though. I only had a little hunger and ordered peanut soup with an indjera, an African pancake (filled with a veggie sauce). Very tasty, both!

Pros: Tasty African food, All vegan!, Reasonable prices

Cons: Opening times not 100% reliable (closed once), Service would be quicker with more than one person

Nourishing

Sharing a big plate with the most colourful and tasty dishes you have ever seen and eating it with your bare hands is the most rewarding thing ever! Couldn't stop eating even though I was already saturated. Cosy atmosphere with pleasant african jazz music and great service :)

Heerlijk, authentiek eten.

Wat een heerlijke keuken is dit, ik heb me bijna letterlijk tonnetjerond gegeten. De eigenaar is ontzettend vriendelijk en gastvrij. Ga hier gewoon eens naartoe, drink een zelfgebrouwen biertje en laat je verrassen. Geloof me, je gaat er geen spijt van krijgen.

African Vegan

A most go in the city of Gouda, in a side street from the central markt you will find a cute small African Vegan restaurant. The local Eri Beer is a must do. #Veganuary

Goudafrica goes plant based ...

I really liked the way food is served... Sort of pancake with all kind of veggies/curries at a plate for 1 or 2 or etc. persons. Just sit back and relax.
Don't forget to order Peanut soup...!!!😄Very tasty

Respect to the owner and his family. They bring a very good vibe because of their kindness.

You must try the special beers... Very tastfull. it is brewed by the owner, ask him to explain..
Don't forget to buy one extra to take back home ..
A very very nice beer...

Recommend place in Gouda !.. #Veganuary

Pros: Plantbased, Very very friendly owner/family , Relaxed vibe....with a very special guest: cat;)

Made me happy

The restaurant had a really laid back vibe and was really cozy. A young and kind lady took our order. The fun thing was that you actually don’t have lots of options to choose of. If there are a few options I automatically trust that the cooks will put a lot of effort in it. And I was really happy about the taste! We had a lentil soup as starter which was nice. As main you could only choose the injera. The injera was great and tasted just as I used to have from an old Ethiopian lady. I didn’t had room for a dessert anymore. So I will be back soon :)
