This was my first time in Portland and we saw this restaurant walking to our place. It had a great ambience so we walked in. First, the business is run by a very kind family. Second, the food was truly delicious! I am a vegetarian and honestly not a big eating out type of person. But wow, this place made me love Eritrean cuisine from the first few bites – so flavorful. So amazing to try something new and have a great experience. I would also say I usually go for restaurants in $10-20 range but the extra 5 bucks here are well worth it!

So delicious. What a find in Maine! Great vegetarian options that includes a side dish. I wish you can get the combo veg with just one or two people but only makes sense if 3-4 want it too. Service was slow but it’s so authentic and mom and pop run we were willing to be patient. Worth the wait.

Very flavorful, simply delicious and incredibly friendly and attentive staff. My first time here with my friends…and we already planned the next time when finishing up the meal. Also a colorful and interesting decoration.

I visited before Covid and remember it being good, but underwhelmed by the size of the dish and injera given. Came here for date night before a show the other night. The atmosphere is casual with nice cultural art. The two of us shared the vegetarian sampler, a $70 platter, that is advertised to feed 3-4 people, thinking we’d have some leftovers for later. The dishes were very tasty and the honey wine was alright. The biggest downside was that we polished off that platter in a matter of minutes. The portions were definitely not going to feed 3-4 people. Maybe 3-4 children. A bit disappointed that we paid so much money for such a small portion, it makes we wonder if they altered the portion size because there was only two of us? I don’t know, but maybe ordering a couple of entrees instead of the sampler would’ve been better, though I’m not convinced it would’ve been any better of a portion size.
Again, the service was good, the food was good, it just left us wanting more.

If you’ve never had Eastern African food, you need to try Asmara. Very friendly service, fantastic food. I highly recommend the Honey wine.

I was looking for a quick bite to eat and stumbled across this restaurant. I was amazed at how friendly and welcoming the staff was and, having never had Eritrean food, I was blown away by the delicious this cuisine is. I am a big fan and recommend for anyone—ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE NEVER TRIED ERITREAN FOOD—to come here!

Interesting option in the Portland area, but overpriced for what you get. Maybe there would be an extra star if I was dining with more people and could try more options (it felt like a sharing-esque menu), but the modest bread and meat choice for close to $20 was priced higher than it should have been.

Incredible comfort food. I ordered the shiro and my partner got a lamb dish, for takeout – both were astounding, but I have to say the shiro was a big winner. The cinnamon sweet tea was lovely too. Just the right amount of warmth.

The huge portions, incredibly flavorful food, and the experience of both eating with your hands and trying something (most likely) new should be enough cause to check this place out! Keep your expectations of atmosphere low; this place is all about the food and the folks cooking it for you.
