Best Ethiopian place I’ve tried and I’ve tried many restaurants in Switzerland and South Africa. Zagol will always be my favourite
It was a unique, interesting experience having authentic Ethiopian food. We ordered the vegetarian option Beyayenet which can be shared by 3 people. The place is so small yet beautifully decorated. The coffee is very good and perfect with popcorn.

Amazing Food, we were satisfied with the taste of the food, the best thing liked was the Beef dry fry which was entirely different with the special spices, we ordered DRY TIBES, STRING OF TOP SIDE, AND Zagol Special which was mix of 3 platters for we 3 people, each around 40-45 AED, and we ordered Soft drinks as well, Only issue is the spacing inside, rest everything worth trying, will visit again soon :)
Some vegetable dishes i felt like it is the same Indian masalas and namesake can be said as African food, but the injera was like wheat dosha , but version with more sour yeast taste and softer than the wheat dosha. Salads and other vegetables were different in taste except few which tasted as Indian spices.
Staffs were super friendly, the main part is to sit around the big plate in circle and eat with the bare hands, which is usual for indians but still enjoyed, the amount of food is worth for the pay,overall loved it.
Overall 4.5/5
Staff 5/5 :)
Cleanliness 4.5/5
Taste 4.5/5
Ambience 4/5
Worth of money 5/5
Perfect Ethiopian experience!
Would be more happy if they reduced the pricing
Very unique place in dubai to try some Ethiopian cuisine.This is a small place to accomodate less than 20 people at a time.Staffs are really helpful and friendly.Cards are not allowed, u've pay by cash only.Don't forget to try their Coffee
Not the most photogenic cuisine ever but I tried Ethiopian food for the first time and it turned out to be nice and full of goodness chickpeas, lentils, beans, spinach, spicy potatoes and ---------- injera which is their dosa like bread--------.
Its actually a spread thali. The convenience of eating having everything in one bigggg plate was tastefully osummmm.
The taste was typical indian masala powedered into african namesake.
Its just like a bengal tiger visiting the african wildlife..
Smitten by my love for Ethiopia after my recent travel to addis. Upon my return back to dxb, searched for authentic Ethiopian restaurant. Was positively surprised by the vegetarian choices and price points of dishes. A proper scrumptious platter, cant get enough of that injira socked in spicy bean paste!
Amazing food!
Most of the things in the menu are delicious!
My personal favorite is the “ Shiro”- Highly recommended!
Loved the coffee here as well!
Staff is super friendly!
Unbelievable ambience, delicious food, the feel of the restaurant is so authentic and honestly one of the best restaurants in Dubai. A must-visit.
As you can see from the pictures below my friends and I devoured the sharing platter. We got the non veg and veg mix which had so many different choices of lentils and salad and meats. Each one of those items are so packed with flavor. Of course everyone's palette is different, so some people will like some items and not others. However is you are an open minded person who enjoys trying new things and exploring different flavors then this is honestly one of the highest recommended places for you.
It's very small so I suggest going on a weekday since there are literally 4-5 tables in the restaurant.
All the staff there are friendly and helpful to customers, like me, who had no idea what the names of the food meant and what was in what.
After the meal we had Ethiopian coffee, which is very different in flavor to Turkish coffee, but is very similar in texture and look.

مطعم جيد جدا. المأكولات ممتازة جدا وطازة. يعيبه غلاء السعر وصغر المطعم لذلك يفضل اخذ الأكل للمنزل سفري.
مطعم اثيوبي صغير لكن اكله خرافي ...الافضل تاخذ اكلك سفري

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) جميلة ، لطيفة ، يجب أن تذهب!
إنه مكان صغير ولن تكاد تلاحظه إلا إذا كنت تعرفه بالفعل! صديقي هو نوع من الشوارع العامة وكان يتدحرج لكننا ذهبنا على أي حال.
الطعام جيد ، المطبخ الإثيوبي التقليدي. طلبنا ثلاثتنا طبقًا كبيرًا نباتيًا لأن الشارع الرئيسي لا يأكل اللحوم! 🙄
كان الخبز حامضًا جدًا بحيث لا يناسب ذوقي ، لكنني طورت طعمه في نهاية الأمر.
أحببت الأجواء والأصالة وطريقة تقديم الطعام.
ساعدتني السيدة التي كانت تدير المكان في تعلم الحروف الهجائية المكتوبة على مكتب الفواتير هناك. كان رائعًا جدًا ولطيفًا جدًا منها! لقد علمتني كيف أقدم نفسي باللغة الإثيوبية لكني نسيت ذلك الآن 🥺
إنهم يأخذون مدفوعات نقدية فقط ، لذا قم بإعدادها قبل أن تذهب.

Pretty, cute, must go!
It is a small place and you’d hardly notice it unless you already know about it! My friend is kind of high street and was rolling eyes but we went in anyway.
The food is pretty good, traditional Ethiopian cuisine. The three of us ordered one big plate, vegetarian because the high street one doesn’t eat meat! 🙄
The bread was too sour to suit my taste but I developed the taste by end of it.
I loved the ambience, the authenticity and the presentation of the food.
The lady who was running the place helped me learn the alphabets which are written at the billing desk there. It was pretty cool and very sweet of her! She taught me how to introduce myself in Ethiopian but I’ve forgotten that now 🥺
They only take cash payments so prep before you go.
(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) لذيذ! أفضل الأطعمة الأثيوبية في دبي! جئت إلى هنا مع صديقين لتناول العشاء وتغذيت جيدًا. المطعم صغير لذا فهو ليس مثاليًا للمجموعات الكبيرة. لقد طلبنا طبق اللحم ، استغرق الأمر حوالي 45 دقيقة حتى يصبح جاهزًا وهو ما لم يكن جيدًا ولكن الطعام كان يستحق الانتظار! لقد طلبنا أيضًا عصير الليمون بالنعناع الذي كان منعشًا! كما أحببت الأجواء! فاصل ونواصل!

Delicious! Best Ethiopian food in Dubai! Came here with 2 friends for dinner and we were well fed. The restaurant is small so it’s not ideal for big groups. We ordered the meat platter, it took about 45 minutes to be ready which wasn’t good but the food was worth the wait! We also ordered lemon mint juice which was refreshing! Also loved the ambiance! We will be back!
