“ The food is really the star at Piassa - you can expect good portions of absolutely delicious food. The restaurant is clean and the staff are very friendly. If you haven't eaten Ethiopian food before, it is not like anything else - expect piles of fragrant spiced meats and lentils on top of a type of bready pancake, and there are tasty dishes for vegatarians and vegans. Really recommend this place - I'll be back, in particular the sharing dish for 4 with a bit of everything is recommended. Note that the physical menu is more extensive than the one on their website. ”

We had the veggie combo (which was so tasty) and yebeg derek tibs, accompanied by a few Ethiopian beers and a cracking coffee at the end. Genuinely great value, flavour and vibe for the price.

“ I ordered from Piassa for a large charity event this week with a large number of attendees and can’t recommend enough. Firstly, the restaurant was so accommodating and helpful when I called ahead (before even knowing the exact numbers) and again when I did put in the final order. They were so kind when we collected the large amount of food and even helped bring it to our car. Then the food: it was amazing! Not only was there an amazing amount to go between everyone, but all of it was incredibly tasty. Everybody at the event was asking where they could get it again and to give them the name of the restaurant. We had some guests from Oxford who spend a lot of time in Ethiopia who said that this was the best Ethiopian food they’ve had in the UK! ”
“ I was recommended this restaurant by a friend and it didn’t disappoint. The service was great, there was a very relaxing and welcoming atmosphere, and the food was incredible. The flavours were fresh and the portions were generous - this place is great value for money. Will definitely be coming back :) thank you! ”
