Geza Gereslase Cultural Restaurant

Top choice in Northern Ethiopia


If it’s Ethiopian food you’re after, the big tukul across the street from Eve Hotel is easily Adigrat's best. Traditional decoration and well-priced dishes such as mahberawi (an Ethiopian meat platter served with injera – we challenge you to finish it all) make it the ideal place for lunch or, if you're staying in town, dinner.
