Frehiwat Habesha — Restaurant in Sheffield

A must-visit: consistently delicious meals, and consistently made to feel welcome. Bit of a hidden gem in that you're unlikely to be walking past given the lack of much else to visit on Exchange St in the evening, and even if you are, it would be hard to know what's on offer inside - but it's amazing.

Wicked selection of veggie and vegan options - I always go for the veggie sampler platter, which can comfortably feed 3 (if not 4) people, accompanied by one of the Ethiopian/Eritrean lagers they've got in the fridge. Food tastes fresh and is excellent every time. Prices have increased lately but still good value for money.

Atmosphere is casual, relaxed and almost cafe-like with music and colourful decor and perfectly wonky pictures on the walls. It also seems to be a popular spot with the local east African community.

Quite possibly more about my palette usually expecting less flavor, more texture, so didn't detract from the...

Great food good value. I had the Beye-Ayinetu which is a vegetarian (possibly vegan) dish .. it consists of small portions of lentil and vegetable dishes. It is served on a type of flat slightly spongy bread - you use the bread to scoop up your meal. It would work well sharing. If you eat meat or fish they have those options. I had it with a beer. I was very full by the end. Great value meal. Its not in a particularly nice part of Sheffield, the building is slightly post apocalyptic everything around it had been demolished. Seemed it was popular with the local Ethiopian and Eritrean community. My food was served in a touristy basket thing ... theirs was not. More of a cafe than a restaurant but all the...
