Massawa restaurant has accommodated our big family with children for a dinner. The food was really good especially the Tibs. The waitress was amazing, welcoming, and very proportional. According to our group of coffee lovers, the coffee they had had the best taste with a hint of ginger. Our gratitude goes out to the waitress for the amazing service she provided us and for taking care of the other customers in the restaurant even though she was the only one there.

I have no other ethiopian restaurant to compare this too, but portion for price is so wonderful. Although the food wasn't extra special, it tasted fresh and hearty, and price is great, so I give it 5 stars. Service is good! Cute little atmosphere there too.

I have tried African injera 11 years ago in Saskatoon, however, the restaurant closed. I am great my best friend brought me here, to have delicious African food again. Very good price for each order you want to pick, and they serve pretty much twice as you need food. Injera is well known a sour flavour pancake, which looks many holes on the top of the flat bread. Soft pancake with hundreds of hole, put those meat or sauces on, that is maximum those food tasted in mouth. I would love to come again and again for the injera meals.

My coworker and I picked the restaurant simply because we had never had East African food before! I have no experience with this cuisine, so I can't speak to the authenticity of it, but it was FANTASTIC. I had the veggie combo, and as a big eater, I couldn't eat all of it, so A+ on the portion size. My coworker had lamb of sorts, and it was quite tasty as well. The person working, was very friendly, and the food came out quite quickly as well. In and out in 35 minutes made this a great lunch time meal for us. I'd eat here again! The only thing I was surprised about though, thought there would be some chicken options. Not a complaint, just an observation.

Excellent food, very tasty and reasonably priced. Noisy (popular!) which made it a bit hard to hear our server, who missed our son's order. She was very apologetic and they whipped up his order immediately after being informed. Highly tasty and looking forward to going again.

A delightful place that features both East African and Mediterranean dishes. The East African dishes are served with injera, a spongy flatbread that is used as the utensil for rolling up or dipping in the food. We had the vegetarian special and the awaze tibs (spicy chunks of lamb). Both were excellent. Service was super-friendly and the music and decor added to the pleasant ambiance. Highly recommended. Vegetarian options: Multiple choices Parking: Ample metered street parking

Massawa is a city in Eritrea . Ethiopia is on its southern border. There are two types of cuisine here: East African and Mediterranean. I ordered the Awazi Tibsi for $19.99. The flavour was rich and spicy... Spice was mild to medium heat level. The meat was not tough, but not melt in your mouth either. They give you a very generous portion of injera bread to go with your meal. Overall, the service was polite, the food was tasty, and the atmosphere was bright at my window seat. I would probably return.

I loved the cabbage dish and my partner loved the green bean dish

Its our first time to try out African food. We had succulent lamb with veggies combo. Two Chinese girls enjoyed this tasty and healthy meal very much. Their service is good. We were so full when we finished this big combo that we had to take a long walk to Fraser River to digest it. Were going to come back with more friends. I would like to suggest you to put on some African elements on your windows and at front door to let people passing by to know more about you and encourage them to give a try.$32 for this combo. My friend and I had African rice for the first time and ordered a mutton and vegetable mixed meal. The big round plate that came came with seven different flavors including mutton, vegetable salad, and curry beans. So delicious. The waiter spoke English very well, had a good attitude, and was handsome. It was a bit overwhelming for two people to eat this big plate, but because it was delicious, we finished it anyway. Highly recommended. The decoration in the store is simple, so friends who like luxury should come here. This is $32 for two people, which is very cost-effective.

We visited for lunch and it was quite delicious! We had the Vegetarian Combo, which was delivered on an Injera ( similar to crepe) platter. Green beans, cabbage stew, Shiro and lentils were all super tasty and each item had a distinct flavour. Best part is you get to use your hands, by ripping the Injera into pieces, scooping up the food. Super fun finger foods ! The owner, Gabi was attentive and helpful. I really respect someone who comes to Canada and gifts is a piece of his culture in our homeland. Very cool !

Tried all the Ethiopian restaurants in Vancouver and this is the best one. Lol sorry van. Their tibs were so tender and the sauce was good, glad it wasn t overly spicy but spicy enough. Also enjoyed their green salad; a great simple dish is the sign of a great restaurant. Ethiopian is my favourite kind of food in the world, I m always amazed these places aren t packed.

Since I have never had East African food I cant speak to the authenticity, but I had an amazing culinary experience here at Massawa. I took my brother out for his birthday as we were both curious about this restaurant, having walked past it regularly. Inside its vibrant colours and relaxed atmosphere. The food was DELICIOUS, for me personally I found it a little spicy, possibly from my own silliness in thinking whatever spicy pepper was on top of my dish was a basic green bell pepper and eating a large chunk of that right out the gates. Ill be back, Im excited to try more of the flavors to be found in African cuisine.

My husband and I had brunch here today for the first time. The food was delicious!! It was the best hummus I have ever had. So light and fluffy. Way too mild for my taste buds but I love the fact that it was all healthy food. Im sure they would make it spicy if I asked. Portions were huge. Being a health concious person, I hardly find any healthy food options. Much better than western cuisines. The server was very sweet. Highly recommend.

An absolutely wonderful encounter with Ethiopian food. I ordered the Awaze Tibsi, and right from the first bite, I knew this was something I would cherish. The Injera (flatbread) that comes with it is incredibly delicious as well. What caught me off guard was how big it is, and that it was part of the plate itself. The lamb itself was perfectly cooked, and given the eating style (not really fork and knives friendly, way easier to use your hands) the end result was that emotion that is felt after a wholesome, soul-filling meal. Depending on your appetite, one plate of Tibsi can be shared between two people.

NOT GLUTEN FREE. Not celiac friendly. Despite East African food having a reputation of being gluten free this place is not. I ended up projectile vomiting, until 1am. It ruined my night last night and not feeling 100% today either. The language barrier made it difficult to convey allergy information. I asked the waitress about wheat, barley or rye. She got another waitor who spoke more English, he also had trouble understanding. But waved the youre fine gesture. I suspect their injera has barley or wheat in it. It was impressively stretchy for gf Rating 2 stars instead of 1 because the food was good, staff were friendly, and it was a cute little spot with a sense of community.

The lower mainland doesn t have many options when it comes to some authentic East African food. That s my opinion, as I have had some of the best out in Ontario for sure but out here it s been quite difficult. This place is what I ve been waiting for. You really don t need to look any further if you want a real taste of East African cuisine. One of my favorite dishes I always love to order is Awaze tibsi. This place does it the best here in the Lower mainland. Other dishes I tried was the shawarma plate and lamb bone broth soup. Everything was fantastic and will be back again

The dishes were all fresh with good quality meat (generous portions too). The spices and flavouring were flavourful and delicious yet subtle. The decor was traditional and the people kind, humble, and friendly. We could tell there is pride in their restaurant.. and that directly translates to the food. We had a hummus dish with lamb, two lamb dishes, and a spicy chicken dish with rice (my personal fave). There are many vegetarian options that look great too. Highly recommend.

Got the vegetarian platter, which lives up to the platter side of the name, an almost two foot across injera with 5 different vegetarian dishes and a salad on top, plus more bread on the side. This would be great for sharing, but as I ordered it solo, I now get to enjoy leftovers for days (great, cause it was so tasty). As a vegetarian fare, this was a fun way to have a lot of separate, deep flavours on one plate. Also... the coffee! Get it! Served with a side of air popped popcorn, and burning incense its a delightful experience to round out a meal.

Delicious awaze tibsi, not too spicy but a little kick! I would like to see a non vegetarian combo in the future because this was a lot of meat. Also the salad dressing was really delicious, something that would be easy to miss but they did it well. Thank you for a delicious meal!
