What User likes about Massawa:
My first Ethiopian meal. It was amazing! Be prepared to eat with your hands! Delicious. 2 platters, and a veggie dish fed 6 comfortably. Wine was inexpensive. Service is slow, but they warn you. Not a place to rush. View all feedback.

We Make a point to go here everytime we are back in winnipeg! A family favorite!! Never had any wait time issues!

Easy to get to. Food is great and cost is even better. Friendly staff and clean surroundings. The food is very tasty and authentic to the country it represents.

Massawa offers a delightful introduction to Ethiopian cuisine, with well-cooked dishes and strong flavors at an attractive price point. The family-run restaurant exudes a cozy atmosphere, although service may be slow due to the small staff. The portions are generous, ideal for sharing and enjoying with the traditional Injera bread. The lentil appetizer and vegetarian platter are highly recommended, while the food may be too spicy for some. Overall, Massawa provides a unique and enjoyable dining experience with friendly service and reasonable prices. Be prepared to eat with your hands and savor the flavors of this hidden gem.
