Restaurant Minilik

Lovely place, smelled amazing just walking through the door! Staff was nice and helpful and the food tasty. There are a lot of interesting Ethiopian themed objects inside. Wish it was open more hours as we almost missed it

Definitely a place to consider! My 4 stars comes from the fact that portions are small to start with and majorly the rice was served cold, after a long waiting time. They do give a heads up on an average waiting time of 2 h but when you wait that long the food shouldn’t be served cold at least. There’s potential for sure, if they would have at least one more employee to help managing the place. The owners seem sweet people, but I was slightly disappointed with my experience.

Such flavorful and tasty food! It was so nice to finally have some spice and flavor while in Iceland. The owners do suggest to consider giving them a courtesy call if you plan to dine in so they can prepare for your arrival. the atmosphere is very cozy and food so tasty! Highly recommend!!

Tasty food, great service, nice vibes. I enjoyed the dinner at Minilik restaurant. The food came reasonably fast (20 minutes), the owner who serves was very nice and efficient. The restaurant was only 25% full, so that may have helped. Some people mentioned that the service is slow. I can imagine if it's only two person operation, the restaurant is too big to efficiently serve everyone if it's full. I would suggest the owners could hire some extra help or could just have less tables. I had one of the combo options and the amount of food despite some reviews was good (normal European portion). I enjoyed my dinner a lot and hope to come back.

Amazing food absolutelly delicious and the owners are the nicest people we met in Island. It happened that we were there on our daughters birthday and they made us feel so special. Rosa will remember this day forever.

Authentic Ethiopian food in Iceland! The fragrance of berbere fills this restaurant operated by a husband & wife team. We had the meat combo and the veggie combo - everything was delicious, especially the doro wat & lentils. One of our best meals in Iceland.

Finding an Ethiopian restaurant here was quite unexpected. While we have had better Ethiopian food before, the flavors are quite authentic and it provides a welcome break from the usual hot dogs, burgers, pizza and fish n chips! This is run by a couple, and they are the only staff, so be prepared for slow service. The atmosphere is great though, with hundreds of original artifacts from Ethiopia beautifully decorating the place.

Quite good. I was honestly a bit apprehensive about coming here. For reference, I am an American who has never eaten Ethiopian food and wasn't sure what to expect. Not being from the area though there were only a couple of choices so my wife and I decided to be open to something new, and boy are we happy we did. Truly a wonderful evening, the food was absolutely fantastic and we really enjoyed it. Photo of the wife for fun :)
