Little Africa - Melbourne

4.5/5 if I could! Being unfamiliar with Ethiopian cuisine, I would say that this was an amazing and novel experience! TDLR; try it out, Little Africa has great service, feels cosy and their selection of combination “wat” (thick stews, similar to curries have unique spices.<br/ <br/ FOOD 4/5: LOVED the lamb and fish stews for the combination platters. Their injera bread portions are massive and had an almost crepe-like texture. It’s slightly sour, which wasn’t my jam but it balanced out any heavy stew flavours : Spices for the vegetable stews were flavourful but did not differ too much between them I felt. <br/ <br/ SERVICE 5/5: no complaints. Quick to take orders and bookings.<br/ <br/ ATMOSPHERE 4.5/5: quite a small place in North Melbourne, not great for large groups, but the decor is beautiful with some traditional African pieces. Not noisy, everything was clean.

Very good food with Friendly service. The place is a little hidden on the streets. But otherwise the food is awesome as well as cheap. I ordered the vegetarian platter with various different curries. A must try for experience and Taste.

Nice hearty food and friendly service. Cozy little place, thank you!

Delicious, filling food that is also very reasonably priced. You can’t go wrong with the vegetarian combination plate. The people who run the restaurant are also really lovely and warm. Little Africa ticks all the boxes!

Some friends hyped up this restaurant for us for a long time and we decided to try it. It was cute, homely and welcoming. The food was spectacular with hits of flavor and big portions for 2 people at a really good price! You don’t leave hungry. It was my first time trying African/Ethiopian food and I was definitely not disappointed!
