Alleamin African Kitchen

I got the goat stew for my daughter and me. They were sold out of injeras, but the owner offered to substitute with rice and I was hesitant. Worried about the rice being dry. The aroma from the kitchen smelled so good, I decided to take a chance and order anyways. I am so glad I did! Everything was amazing!! The goat was tender, the cabbage and salad complimented the stew very well, and the rice was delicious. My toddler ate it all. We will definitely be back for more!

First time in the Rockwood Market Hall, I was really glad we checked out the Alleamin African Kitchen. What was initially a pit stop for sambusa’s, turned out to be a full on dinner! Everything was tasty and homemade, and the staff were excellent! Highly recommend the yedoro wot and the lamb and chicken sambusa.

I had an amazing experience at Alleamin African Kitchen. I came in for dinner around 7:30 PM with two of my friends, and from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The owner was incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely hospitable.

What really stood out was his generosity and dedication — we placed our initial order right before closing time, and even 15 minutes after they had officially closed, he was still willing to prepare another order for us while cleaning up. That kind of service is rare and deeply appreciated.

The food was absolutely delicious, and as a kind gesture, he even gave me the remaining smoothie from the blender that he had made for my friend. It was a small touch, but it spoke volumes about the kind of people running this place.

Great food, great vibes, and truly outstanding service. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a genuine and flavorful dining experience.

Got the goat meat. The guy said it was fire. He was right. It fell off the bone and basically melts in your mouth. So good. Highly recommend.

This place is one of my favorites in the entire Portland metro. Excellent food, kind and thoughtful staff members. Our family has eaten here many times - and consistent high quality food is served every time.

Also, we worked together to set up catering for our event - and it’s been an easy process
