Mitmita Ethiopian restaurant

This was my first time having Ethiopian food. My server Athena went above and beyond to teach me about the cuisine and culture. The food was all incredible, I highly recommend and will definitely be coming back again.

I had a good experience with the lady who served us she was kind and welcoming. However as a native Ethiopian born and raised in Ethiopia I want to share my honest feedback about the food. The dishes didn’t taste fresh, and it felt like the food had been reheated. The doro we ordered tasted like it was cooked days earlier, and I could even feel the bones while chewing, which shows it wasn’t prepared fresh. Overall, the food didn’t taste like native, authentic Ethiopian cuisine. I hope they improve the freshness and quality, because the service itself was nice.

Have eaten here a few times, and the food and service have been excellent each time. Had the Vegetarian Combination on this trip which was delicious, as were the Vegetable & Chicken Sambusa. Definitely plan on eating here again.

Had an amazing experience dining here tonight. It is wonderful to have such a great establishment within an hour drive from me!
The atmosphere is lovely and our server Athena made sure the experience was 10/10! Everything we had was absolutely amazing! Even the iced tea far exceeded expectations. This will definitely be the first of many visits!!

First time trying Ethiopian food at Mitmita Ethiopian Cuisine and wow, the food AND experience were immaculate! My friends and I had an absolute blast! 🥰🤗💃🏽

The injera was perfect especially for it's many purposes 😉 and the lentil stew and steamed cabbage had layers of flavor that were quite delicious!

Athena is a whooole vibe, truly a GEM 💎! May God continue to bless her, her husband (chef), their daughter and the entire family!

The service was excellent. Our server (and co owner) Athena was very friendly and it felt like we knew her already. Vegetarian platter was colorful and well seasoned.

Wonderful food. This was my first time trying Ethiopian food, and I loved the variety of different flavors present on the plate that came together so beautifully. On top of that, the service was an experience worthy of its own individual praise. Athena is a true joy who treats her customers like they are friends, and I am so glad we have this restaurant present in the Tampa area.

First time trying Ethiopian food, I thought everything was delicious! The flavor combinations and dishes were an experience in itself. This is a wholesome family run restaurant. One of the owners, Athena, serves the food, is extremely welcoming and makes you feel like you’re right at home. The food tasted fresh and I was delighted to try some new food and bold flavors. They have a sourdough bread called injera which was so good and tasted freshly made as well. The honey wine was sweet and the cherry on top of a delicious meal. We can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!

Everything tasted great and the owners were very nice. We will definitely be back.

I came across this restaurant with my Ethiopian friend. She suggested we try this place. She wanted to show me a glimpse of her culture & what the food tastes like. This restaurant was a tour of Ethiopian culture down to the handmade crafts and decorative pieces. I was blown away by the complexity of flavors in the food!
The balance of spice and savory was perfect, and the texture was spot-on – truly mouth-watering. This is a must-try. Thank you Athena for such a wonderful 1st time experience. I truly enjoyed the fun facts she provided about their culture. We will be back. ✨

What an awesome meal and experience! I've had Ethiopian food once before and was excited to experience it again. Mitmita did not disappoint! Loved the veggie combo and the lamb. And if you are going with multiple people it's fun to share a big platter. I had a great time speaking with the server as well, she may have also been the owner and she was happy to talk to me about Ethiopian food. She had great recommendations as well. Can't wait to come back!
