"Porta Venezia has multiple well-established Ethiopian and Eritrean restaurants, but Adulis is a local favorite for its dark, ornate interior, music, and small selection of Champagne. Choose between injera plates of lamb, beef, chicken, or fish with spicy berbere seasoning. The mixed vegetables are also hearty with cabbage, chickpeas, lentils, and cooked greens." - Elizabeth Jones, Angelica Frey

We really enjoyed our experience here of delicious Eritrean food. A lovely setting, where you feel like you’re in a tent somewhere in Africa! The dinner was served in a traditional way (you eat using the bread and your hands) and tasted fantastic. We had the lamb and chicken zighini at €15 ea.

I loved it - the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. All the plates come kind of mixed, and in my opinion that just adds to the experience

The atmosfere was very particular, of Eritrean culture, I think. I ordered chicken zighini with low level of spiciness and some sweets. The zighini was accompanied by some fermented bread, grinded chicken peas and some vegetables. The dish was very nice; however, it was still a bit spicy to me, so be careful with the level of spiciness. The vegetables were not so fresh, but they were ok. The sweets were nice!

The restorant is full of every cultural equipment . Very cosy and busy atmosphere. I have had a great time with some delicious food. Stuff are supper friendly. I would call this place a mini Eritrea in milan.

A rare experience in African culture, this restaurant look authentic enough, as far as I can tell, and the offering is of good quality. The restaurant is nicely arranged with exotics and low table (avoid, ask for “normal” table). The menu offer a kind of one dish, a serving of veal, lamb and chicken with vegetables and and spices on a large spongy bread. The plate is placed in the centre of the table and everybody serves himself with his hands. Emergency forks are provided on request, though. We were a party of four and we went for a plate with all different meats. Portions are very generous and almost all patrons left some food. The meats were perfectly cooked and very tender. A good experience. Service extremely kind and attentive, waiters all Eritrean. Bill came at a very reasonable 25€ per person, 2 beers, water and typical sweets included.

Food was really not good. Chicken was incredibly tough and greasy. The side vegetables were a tasteless unseasoned mush. The only redeeming part of the meal was the injera which was light and fluffy and a side of what may have been lentils which had a lot of flavour.

A star-plus for the very friendly service, but only a meh for the food, which is pretty bad. As for the food: The sambusa appetizer was stale. Then it was further ruined in the microwave. So there's your chewy and rubbery appetizer for you. Yech. And the main attractions - the reason you dine Ethiopian (or Somali, though they're really identical)? Well, the injera was stale and dry. THE INJERA WAS STALE AND DRY. At that point, why bother? Well, we there we were, so we plowed on. And the meats (lamb and beef) were the gristliest and cheapest cuts imaginable, when you even managed to find some meat, since they served us mostly bones. And the vegetables? Only chickpeas and some spinach, with mostly insipid salad. (Salad? Huh?) Wait: The portion was about two thirds of what you'd be served in New York, a city not at all known for Ethiopian restaurants. Ethiopia was an Italian colony. You'd think that there's decent, if not good, Ethiopian food in Italy. Nope. Not in Milan; not in Rome; certainly not in the boonies. Nice place. Nice people. Really bad food. Up to you.

I came to this delightful restaurant for lunch with my friend Carmen,who has lived in Milan 20+years. She knows her way around very well and used to work in this area years ago and kept telling me there were really good restaurants here. This was the other Eritrean restaurant down the way from Warsaw. The menu offered a platter with chicken, beef, greens, and, cabbage mash, with injera. Or you could choose from the buffet. It was a lot of food, the meats were well seasoned and tender! The collard green mash was delicious! Everything was fresh. The price point was reasonable, as there are three other African restaurants on the same block. The owner was very kind and personable, his secondary language was Italian. This does not present a problem if you know how to order in Italian or you speak his native language. But, between the two restaurants, I have to say I enjoyed the energy and the overall experience a little bit better at Warsaw. Perhaps, because I went to Warsaw for dinner and came to Adulis for lunch? Not sure, but both are excellent recommendations in terms of the quality of the food.
