Was Daniel A at Asmara a mag?
Asmara is a decent Eritrean food spot in Cambridge! Its location and size makes it great for groups of students. I recommend getting the meat and veggie combos with a bottle of Tejj for the best experience. Overall it was satisfying and good value for money. View all feedback.

I enjoyed a delicious vegetarian combo that was served with an ample amount of fantastic Injera! While everything was great, my favorite dish might have been the spinach and ricotta appetizer. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive.

The food here is incredibly delicious, well-seasoned, and flavorful. The portion sizes are generous. However, be prepared for a wait, as it can take around 45 to 60 minutes for your meal to be served. Eating with your hands is the customary way to enjoy your food.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. You can choose between traditional and conventional seating, which is nice. However, it had a bit of a romantic vibe, which felt more suited for a date night, especially since I was there with a friend. The waiter was cheerful and very knowledgeable about the menu, which is something you often hope for but don't always find—she was definitely the highlight of the experience. The food was excellent, but make sure to order flavor combinations that work well together. Overall, it's a nice spot to visit with friends.

I'd never had Ethiopian food. This was interestingly delicious. You must be comfortable eating with your hands absolutely no utensils saving the planet 1 fork at a time. The foods comes all on one very large plate pretty much call communal eating. AKA sharing the LOVE. This place is great for vegetarians.

One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a very long time! It’s such a great learning experience as well. The staff was extremely pleasant. It’s obviously a very popular location as people were standing in line waiting for tables. Everything was run like a well oiled machine. We had a few different dishes to share, spicy chicken was really good. It took a couple tries to get a hang of how to eat the food, but it was so fun! It’s definitely something we’ll look back on and remember fondly.
