Eritreo Dahlak In Padova

A good restaurant 🍽 that allows you to enjoy the flavors of Eritrean cuisine 🇪🇷, located just outside the city center. The restaurant is located on Via Sorio and has virtually no parking 🅿️, which could make it a bit inconvenient for those who have to go there by car 🚘. The staff is extremely courteous (even over the phone 📞 when booking), with the owner 🧓🏾 proving very helpful in patiently explaining the characteristics of the dishes. We opted for the friendship plate 🤝, which seems to be the highlight of the menu 📋; it is a single dish composed of different types of stew (from buffalo to ostrich to antelope, to name a few), accompanied by a legume puree and typical Eritrean bread 🍞 🇪🇷. As for this bread, characterized by a certain sponginess (no offense to Eritrean cuisine enthusiasts), I must say it's certainly an unusual and very distinctive product, although I didn't particularly enjoy it, primarily because of its texture. In fact, once it soaks up the stew sauce (it's served as a base for the meat itself), the bread tends to fall apart excessively, becoming impractical to eat. Perhaps it would have been better served separately, so as to keep it drier and more whole (but I also realize that doing so would probably have lost one of the dish's distinctive features). The meat was very good 😋, well-cooked and spiced. Prices were perhaps slightly above average, but justified by the exclusivity of the dishes. Overall, the rating is certainly positive 👍. Reservations are highly recommended 📞. A different kind of culinary experience, one I highly recommend.

It was our first time at an Eritrean restaurant and we chose this little place, which truly enchanted us. We were pleasantly surprised by the style of the place, which was consistent with the culture and tradition, and by the delicious dishes that, though limited, respected customs. So much so, that no desserts were served, as they are non-existent in Eritrean culture due to extreme poverty. The owner is a kind, generous, and calm person who amazes you with his warm welcome and never makes you feel uncomfortable; in fact, he even explains how to eat with your hands! We will be back and recommend it to everyone! P.S. The complimentary final tea was delicious and helped us digest. A memorable evening.

Very good and good. I can't wait to go back. The tea at the end was excellent. A very nice experience with the owner who patiently and proudly explains all the dishes with a lot of passion.

The food is always good, the room is welcoming, the tea at the end is perfect. How can you not love it? The friendship dish is highly recommended

Un tuffo nell'ottima cucina ricca di sapori e spezie. Gentilissimo il proprietario, ci ha seguiti con spiegazioni delle vivande proposte.

The food and courtesy are always excellent. The environment could be a little modernized, but it is now part of the whole.

A right balance of spices. A guarantee when you are looking for ethnic flavors.

Ristorante ben curato e con un’ottima cucina. Non avevamo mai mangiato eritreo e il personale, davvero molto cordiale e disponibile, ci ha spiegato il menù in maniera dettagliata. I gusti della cucina sono squisiti e i prezzi decisamente ottimi. Da ritornarci!

Very helpful and welcoming staff, they explain all the dishes well and in detail. truly homely atmosphere thanks above all to their kindness. really good and varied typical dishes, at an honest price. they also cook vegan dishes.

I love this restaurant; the meat is unique and flavorful. The owners are lovely people, and I always feel like I'm part of the family when I come here. I recommend it for trying meats that aren't usually easy to find.
