Asmara Bella Ethiopian Eritrean

This restaurant is incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were generous. The staff enhanced our experience by sharing interesting details about the dishes and providing cultural background information. We were even treated to small shots of exquisite honey wine, and we concluded our meal with Ethiopian/Eritrean coffee, which was outstanding. Kudos to the restaurant for creating a unique and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!

The menu is filled with a range of enticing aromas, from spicy lamb stews to lighter, herbal dishes. This culinary journey offers tastes I hadn't encountered before, and I highly recommend giving it a try for its uniqueness and distinct style. The menu is also thoughtfully curated to accommodate various dietary needs, with a dedicated section for vegan options. The service was excellent; our server was attentive and ensured there were no mistakes with our order. We even had another staff member extend an apology for any delay. In terms of pricing, it's hard to compare Asmara Belle to other nearby restaurants, as it stands out on its own. However, an average spend of £20 per person (including a 10% tip and a drink) is quite reasonable for the area. The decor is beautifully executed, adding to the overall dining experience. I highly recommend trying this restaurant if you're seeking unique and delicious cuisine, or even if you’re familiar with East African flavors and just want a quick bite. Asmara Belle holds a 4/5 rating in British food hygiene standards, and I look forward to returning and hoping for a 5/5 experience on my next visit.

Incredible restaurant! The staff is extremely friendly, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting with lovely decor. Be sure to try the dish with okra and meat, along with the honey wine and Eritrean beer! This place has completely changed my perspective on Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine!

We walked on the streets of the Manchester Northern Quarter and wanted to eat something, but not usually burgers, chips and pizzas, which appear in many bars as a standard Fayre. We stumbled on Asmaras completely randomly, saw through the window, checked the online menu, worried a little that it could be too exotic, and went in. Had no idea what to order and asked for ideas, the Mosob 2 person Plattier was suggested so that we went with it. The presentation was beautiful, a huge dish of sorted vegetables and meat dishes served with and on, a kind of flatbread called Injera. The Flatbread was a cross between crumbs and large Pittabrot. You tear it apart with your fingers and grow in, very dirty, very pleasant. Forks are available on request....Good if you are baked, but cannot resist the treats. The food was super tasty and palatable with a beautiful amount of heat, every taste was different. The next kitchen I like is Indian, but it's definitely not... it's Eritrean/Ethiopian. We have to go back and try more dishes now parking is terrible... normal North Manchester. The restaurant is located on 2 floors and down is only about 14 covers, but if it looks full, go up anyway. Nicely decorated and clean. You can only go for drinks if you wish, there is a bar and a coffee machine. Toilets were clean and functional, but warning, they are up. Service was good. Visit was Saturday in the afternoon and it was quiet. Piped music is ethnic, probably from the region of food. Family friendly.

Great food, great experience with lots of ex pats and a charming host. We ordered the meat and vegan platters. Came on a giant fermented bread. Absolutely delicious and the owner recommended the best way to eat it, and then gave us some Eritrean honey wine. Coffee ceremony to finish really added to the theatre. 2 giant varied platters, 2 glasses of honey wine, coffee and popcorn for 2. £50. Bargain.
