"Phantastisch! War dort gestern zum ersten (und sicher nicht letzten) Mal mit einer Freundesgruppe essen. Das Ambiente ist wunderbar. Naturtöne, kein zu grelles Licht, wunderbare Dekoelemente... die Bedienung herzlich und freundlich und das Essen ganz wunderbar mit großzügigen Portionen. Definitiv einen Besuch wert. Auch zu erwähnen das besondere Bier (das in Schalen serviert und getrunken wird) in fruchtigen Geschmacksrichtungen. Live it! Weiter so. Eine Bereicherung für Heppenheim! Auch die Vor- und Nachspeisen eine kleine- aber wunderbare Auswahl."

"Wow what to say. My girlfriend had been wanting to come here for a while so we decided to come for dinner. The atmosphere is absolutely amazing. They put a lot of time and love into the interior. The seating was very comfortable and it had its own cool vibe to it. The owner was very friendly and took his time to explain everything. We ordered a large dish that we could share and it was just amazing. All the spices in the bread and the meat were great. We really enjoyed drinking beer out of the bowls the served it in. I felt the restaurant was really decently priced and I didn't feel like I was getting gouged or anything like that . With dinner and an appetizer and water and a couple beers it was under €60. We will definitely return and it is a place you should try ."

"Wunderbare eritreisch-äthiopische Küche: schonend zubereitet, naturbelassen und voller Geschmack. Teff-Fladen, Hülsenfrüchte und fein abgestimmte Gewürze ergeben ein nährendes, harmonisches Essen, nach dem man sich angenehm satt und gestärkt fühlt – ganz ohne Mittagstief. Die traditionelle Kaffeezeremonie zum Abschluss ist ein besonderes Highlight. Herzliche afrikanische Gastfreundschaft, absolut empfehlenswert."
