Taste Of Ethiopia - Belfast

I stumbled upon taste of Ethiopia on social media. I was surprised when I turned up at the listed address to find myself standing at the front door of a family home. There was no mistake. This is a family run enterprise born out of the lockdown situation by a clearly talented (presumably Ethiopian) couple. Our order was taken and we were told it would be freshly prepared and ready for collection in 25 minutes. There are several vegan options. Forgive me for not using the correct names as it was my first Ethiopian meal and all new to me. We shared a portion of lentil samosas with sweet chilli sauce. Ethiopian pancakes, boiled rice and a platter of four dishes. Two were lentil based and two were cabbage based. It was just the correct amount for two adults and came to £19. Very aromatic and not too oily. We were nicely satisfied but not stuffed. There are a few other vegan options too. The gentleman who took our order was very pleasant, helpful and polite and seemed pleased to see us He put us at our ease after the strangeness of knocking the door of what appeared not to be a takeaway! Their Instagram account had two newspaper reviews explaining the background to the business which are worth a read. Updated from previous review on 2021-06-12

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this restaurant is actually someone's house! A very friendly man greeted me and suggested I wait a few minutes (since I arrived early). He returned shortly after to bring out the food. I ordered the pancakes with a side of cabbage salad, and it was delicious, especially knowing it was homemade! The portion size was just right for one person, or perhaps a little too much. I would definitely return to this restaurant.

I was surprised when I went to pick up my order and realized it was someone's house! However, a very friendly man greeted me and suggested I wait a few minutes since I arrived early. He later brought out my food to my car. I ordered pancakes with a small platter of lentils and cabbage-based dishes. The food was delicious, especially because it was homemade. It was just the right portion size for one person, although it may have been a bit too much. I would definitely order from here again.

This is one of my favorite dining experiences in Belfast. I love that it is a collection-only service from their home. The food is beautiful, delicious, and offers healthy options. I especially love the injera!

I had an amazing experience dining at this small, family-run restaurant. The staff was able to assist me over the phone in selecting vegan dishes from their diverse menu. This is definitely my top choice for takeout in Belfast.
