I love this restaurant. I'm an American and I was looking for Vegan food. Unfortunately the days I visited Geneva the fully vegan restaurants in old town were closed.
However Little Ethiopia Cafe was open. I love Ethiopian food so I was excited to try it. The restaurant has seating for many different amounts of people (tables for 2 and tables for groups).
The host seated me right away and gave me their menu. This is probably my 4th time coming here and they have an English menu now. The hosts speak a lot of languages including French, English, Spanish, and other languages I didn't know. The original menu is in French, but with Google translate I was able to point to what I wanted so I got my carafe of water and the Yemisir Wot. And now they have an English menu!
Yemisir Wot is a lentil dish that is my favorite at Ethiopian restaurants. Here it is very flavorful and the plate comes out with multiple sides of other vegetable dishes. It all tastes amazing and has a very slight spicy kick. They also bring out a plate of the bread to eat with. It's so filling I don't have to eat the rest of the day!
After my meal I enjoy getting a coffee or tea. They have a lot of options for flavors.
I eat at off times like 3pm so it wasn't busy, however closer to a normal dinner time they can be packed and a reservation is recommended.
They have a full bar as well, but I don't drink often.
I recommend this place if you want a delicious and large vegan meal. My total came out to under 26 Franks and I think that is incredibly reasonable.
If you have ever wanted to try Ethiopian food this would be an excellent place to start. They will even tell you how to eat it and if you don't want to use your hands they will give...

Read moreThis was a great surprise in Geneva, we were looking for something different to eat and this was our first time to try Ethiopian food, everything was delicious, we tried the "buffet" for 2 which was a lot to eat, the flavours and the food were very pleasant, the staff was super friendly, the only suggestion I have is to have a menu in English just in case someone like us come by, but the lady taking the orders and serving food was kind enough to explain about it. The menu has lots of options vegetarian, vegan and non-vegeterian, we tried the buffet for 2 which had one entrée, 4 'curry-like' dishes served in a huge pancake to be used as 'spoon' to eat and a dessert similar to a baklava, all of them were super tasty.
If you are hungry and want something very unique and tasty this is the place to get it
Pricing was good not too expensive not too cheap, considering Geneva is...
