Wow the most authentic Ethiopian dining experience in Manchester. Greeted upstairs at the door by the wonderful owner Nebyou who had great service and so polite. The food was amazing quick service and very attentive staff , the meat platter on Injera consisting of chosen Beef, Chicken and Lamb dishes. The free 6- 8 rolls on Injera makes it so easy to eat comfortably sharing it all with others. Great experience and will be returning to see these lovely hosts again ! Keep up the good work...pls do visit them

An amazing find. Truly authentic with a lot of attention paid to the the quality, taste and presentation of food. We shared 3 dishes between us and were unable to finish despite wanting to eat more since the flavours are so amazing. There are 2 amazing vegetarian options, we had one and it really was great! Great service, comfortable environment and service was first class. Will definitely be back!

Popped by for a quick dinner and was not disappointed. The staff were very friendly and I had the spicy lamb stew with traditional Ethiopian bread which was lovely. Also tried the Ethiopian beer which was nice light lager. Very much recommend if you’re looking for a different choice!

I recently visited Habesha Ethiopian Restaurant with my Manchester food group, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was delicious, with generous portion sizes and a thoughtfully curated menu that made selecting our dishes a breeze. The service was outstanding—warm, welcoming, and always delivered with a smile. In terms of cost, it was spot on, offering great value for money. Overall, we were really happy with our visit and would highly recommend Habesha if you're in the mood for Ethiopian cuisine.

What a fabulous place this is. Before talking about the food, i would like to appreciate the staff, so smily and cheerful. Nebew was such a fun host and server. The food is outstanding. This was the first time we tried Ethiopian Cuisine. We tried the Wot which is a medium spicy stew which is slightly thick cooked with meat. Doro Wot is tender chicken slow cooked with onion, garlic, ginger, spices and herbal butter served with a boiled egg. Shiro - Powdered chickpeas cooked with onion, garlic and ginger, mildly spiced Beyaynetu is a traditional national dish served with various components - Yetsom Beyaynetu is spicy red lentils, yellow split peas, cabbage and carrots, shiro and house salad. The Injera is a flatbread similar to a pancake which is made from teff flour and is served with all the dishes. The total bill for 6 people was 60 including 5 Ethiopian Beers and food. Would love visiting again. Thank you for all the hospitality
