Ristorante Africano Enqutatash In Roma

A couple of friends and I had lunch at Enquatash. The place is full of references to Ethiopia and Eritrea, and local songs can be heard in the background, immersing guests in their atmosphere. We ate both the meat-filled Sambusa and the Zighinì, drinking Asmara beer with ours. The dishes are delicious and plentiful, reflecting Ethiopian and Eritrean traditions. Giovanni, the owner, is a welcoming person who reveals the secrets of these fascinating countries, offering customers top-notch service. Furthermore, we watched Ethiopian coffee being poured directly from a Jebena, as per the traditional ritual. The coffee was also very flavorful and served as a perfect end to the meal. Also noteworthy is the presence of typical products, such as exotic fruit liqueurs, which are of excellent quality and difficult to find elsewhere. I recommend eating at this restaurant both to those who have never tasted this cuisine and to those who have already tried it but haven't yet found a place in Rome to enjoy it again.

A very intimate, family-run Ethiopian restaurant. Delicious, highly recommended.

The food was delicious and plentiful, and the owner was incredibly kind and friendly. He advised us on what to order and how to eat it. I'll definitely be back.

Giovanni the owner is a fantastic person. Friendly, professional and always smiling. He takes you on a sensory journey of the dishes prepared by his better half.

Excellent food and lots of friendliness when I want to eat African I always come here, the sesame dessert is spectacular

The owner is really nice and the food is excellent... Great experience!

Typical African restaurant, we had the opportunity to try various traditional dishes. The owner was very helpful in explaining the menu but unfortunately he lacked clarity in the prices: proposing various combinations he never mentioned the price thus leaving the final “surprise” (100€ for 3 without considering the bitters that were offered to us) In my opinion it is worth trying, but taking into account that you will spend a little more than average. Overall I liked it. Edit following the owner's response: All the sympathy shown vanished in an instant when reading the word “fake”. Unfortunately I did not take a photo of the receipt but I remember perfectly it was 103€ (My friend had a 20€ discount obtained with TheFork Yums but that does not change the final bill: 103€) I will not change the number of stars, nor the idea of ​​the experience had because it would be childish, but I will correct what was said above: I will not return to this place, denying the evidence is something I cannot tolerate.

Excellent, the owner is very nice and his wife is very good in the kitchen, everything is very fresh including desserts and excellent value for money

The food seemed good quality, although not as tasty as other Ethiopian restaurants in Rome and elsewhere. And you leave full. The problem is the price of the final bill (a bit too expensive) and the lack of transparency about it. The owner offers various tastings but does not specify what you pay for (these tastings that apparently he offers to everyone do not appear on the menu). So, for two people, one finds in the bill two meat dishes of 17x2 (having taken three tastings divided in two) and three whole side dishes 9, having received three small piles to divide. Drinks and covers also a bit overpriced. The fact that he emphasizes that he offers bitters and sweets does not eliminate the feeling of having been a bit taken for a ride with which you leave. The atmosphere is not bad but, despite living in the neighborhood, I do not think we will return.

Great food and excellent service
