    London is amazing for Turkish food. Really cheap and amazing big barbecue platters, best meat ever. Green Lanes and Dalston are full of these places.

    Yeah I love Green Lanes. Palmers Green & Winchmore Hill also, there is a lot of Turkish (and Greek) immigrants & restaurants in that area. I love going for the full mezze, you get an amazing variety of dishes.

    I've never been to Ethiopia, but after reading Cutting For Stone I'm obsessing about the food. So, if one opens can you let us know on this thread?

    Thanks.

    I know like what's up with Dublin though? Funny how not even one such restaurant has opened here. The platters you get...

    Are you a moderator?

    There are no Ethiopian restaurants in Ireland. End of discussion.

    So we may as well talk about Turkish food!

    Nope, but I'll give a shout out to a mod if you like.

    This thread should be left to the topic being discussed so that if (eventually) an Ethiopian restaurant DOES arrive in Ireland those that subscribe to this thread will be alerted to it.

    He's googling frantically to try and find them but they don't exist, which is why he hasn't come back.

    There's definitely no Tanzanian restaurants in Dublin anyway.

    Hey Bob, It's done right over my head too, sorry, but if you could just confirm you were talking about another cities Southside expensive Ethiopian restaurants rather than Dublin's ones on the Dublin City forum and we can all relax and not be worried we're not missing out it would be great!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hopefully the mods can keep the thread alive so that anyone following it can be alerted to future Etheopian culinary openings in Dublin city.

    I was in an Ethiopian restaurant in a San Francisco with friends back in the 1990s. The food was simple but lovely.

    I don’t see one opening in Dublin any time soon. The vogue is for a Cali/Mex burrito eateries.

    Joining the list of those awaiting any news of an Ethiopian/Eritrean restaurant in Dublin. Visited one in Manchester Friday, blown away by the food. Delicious.

    Seriously considering a couple of under a tenner style Ryanair flights to Birmingham (in and out the same day) to visit another place.

    Meanwhile...I see reports of an Ethiopian stall at markets in the Cork area. I wonder are they still going? We could have a group pilgrimage to (shudder) outside the Pale.

    The meal would probably end up the same price as just going to one in Dublin taking into account flights/taxis etc.

    I wager if we do get one here it will be outrageously expensive (€18-19 per dish and €5 injera etc)

    A dined at an Ethiopian restaurant in San Francisco with some good friends on my J1 back in the 90s. Relatively simple dishes with very little or no meat but very very tasty.

    It would make a welcome addition to Dublin’s culinary offering.

    There's an Eritrean place in Athlone called Red Sea Bistro.

    Very small casual place.

    Eritrean and Etheopian food as people know them are both really just Habesha food, and are practically identical.

    All the usual stuff on offer. Injera (spelled engera), zigni, tibsi, firfir, kifto, foul, etc.

    Coffee ceremony with incense etc? :)
