What Clotilde Leffler doesn't like about Asmara An Eritrean:
Interesting option in the Portland area, but overpriced for what you get. Maybe there would be an extra star if I was dining with more people and could try more options (it felt like a sharing-esque menu), but the modest bread and meat choice for close to $20 was priced higher than it should have been. View all feedback. What John W likes about Asmara An Eritrean:
I'll definitely be back. Family run and super welcoming, they were busy with takeout orders while I dined in. One other dine-in group joined me later, so not crowded. The neighborhood location and vibe were pleasant, and the short walk from downtown was convenient. Even if the food wasn't the best I've had, it was tasty and feeling I was so welcome was more important. View all feedback.

Amazing food! The hostess was very sweet and informed about what we didn't know! Try the tea, the fiery chicken and sambusa: Very recommended!
