Zara 2001 - Edit
Very good dishes and a huge portion. You really get more than enough for the money. There are a lot of vegetarian dishes and I think all of them are vegan (I'm not sure). The flat breads are gluten-free and made out of teff flour. Would go again
Read morePros: Yummy, big portions, gluten-free dishes.

Ethiopian vegan treats - Edit
This was my first time eating Ethiopian food.
Read moreA quiet casual restaurant in Geneva and was one of the few places open at 7pm on a Monday night for dinner.
The staff were friendly and spoke enough English to help us ensuring these was no dairy I our meal.
We had the house special which was an Ethiopian crepe with 3 side dishes, Dahl, fried spinach and another type of dipping sauce that I couldn't figure out what it was made from.
The meal was filling but a bit on the oily side for me.
Reasonably priced Geneva.
Pros: open late, vegan options
Cons: slightly oily

Tasty food and big portions :) - Edit
A nice place with friendly staff and a laid-back atmosphere. The vegetarian dishes were delicious and to my understanding also vegan. The vegan assortment or three different dishes was huge, enough for the next day's lunch as well, as there was no problem packing the rest of it in boxes to take away. :9 Would definitely go again!
Read morePros: delicious food, friendly waiter, not too expensive
Cons: the bathroom was not very tidy

Excellent vegan food - Edit
Having never tried Ethiopian food before I was really looking forward to trying the food at Zara. I am vegan and my husband is veggie so we both had the vegetarian plate which comes with a selection of dishes and injera bread.
Read moreThe portions were huge and all very tasty. We ended up leaving some of the food (which is rarely done) as there was so much.
Each dish was delicious and the lady who served us plated it properly for us and demonstrated how to eat it using the injera to scoop the food into our mouths.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some different, delicious food.
Pros: Excellent food, Good value, Huge portions
Cons: Staff do not speak english

Restaurant in poor condition - Edit
From outside the restaurant looks in poor condition, old and dirty. The menu on the door is faded and dirty, so we decided not to enter. It is close to the station.

Not the best Ethopian place in Geneva - Edit
Well, its good but really not the best Ethopian restaurant I visited in Geneva. I will say its classic, friendy, and conventient because it open until late.
Read morePros: Open late, Near train station, Friendly
Cons: Not very clean, Old style

Good Eritrean food - Edit
The staff at Zara 2001 was very friendly and it is clearly the Eritrean hangout in Geneva.
Read moreOverall, the food was good, maybe a bit too spicy at times--but be careful as a vegan, as some items are made with ghee.
Like everything in Geneva, it is pretty expensive, but what can you do?
Worth a visit if you like Ethiopian/Eritrean food!
Pros: Portions, Friendly Staff, Good food
Cons: Ghee, A bit chilly

Yum! - Edit
My husband's vegan and I'm vegetarian, we ordered the veg ethiopian platter and I ate all the spinach (cooked with butter). It was super tasty. We also got the shuro as well which was just a little on the spicy side. We are big eaters and were very full for a decent price. Though, we both ordered "limonade menthe" for our drinks, expecting a traditional sort of lemonade with some fresh mint added, and instead it was just like a mint syrup in water. We should've asked instead of assuming - but don't order it unless you want to suck your after-dinner mint through a straw.
Read morePros: Right amount of spicy, good service, very filling!
Cons: wtf mint lemonade, tiny bathroom
