Asmara is a beloved restaurant known for its consistently delicious food and kind service. The vegetarian combo is a popular choice, offering a variety of lentil and bean dishes with rich stews and tangy cabbage. Injera, a type of Ethiopian bread, is used to scoop up the food and soaks up flavors from the dishes, making it a delightful treat at the end of the meal. The homemade honey wine is a sweet complement to the spices in the food.
Dining at Asmara with a group is enjoyable, and the servers make excellent recommendations. The Kitfo, a raw beef dish, is a must-try - it's delicious and doesn't taste like raw beef. The Asmara Tibsy has good flavor but can be a bit tough. The Atkilt, a vegetable dish, and the accompanying salad offer a refreshing balance to the meat dishes. The food is suitable for most palates, with little to no spiciness. Reservations are not accepted, but calling ahead to check on the restaurant's busyness is recommended.
