Fidel Habesha Cuisine in Leicester

Wonderful delicious food, friendly service. A particular highlight is the Ethiopian coffee ceremony which is not to be missed.

Loved the food here, things weren't on the menu so the chef came out and recommended a few things. The restaurant is for Ethiopians not really anyone else. That's why it was so brilliant. Authentic

1st time visiting, unsure on what to have as 1st experience of this type of cuisine. Staff very friendly and helpful . Had the share platter as a result of their advice and fully enjoyed it,full of flavour and even though I do t do alot of spice it was very flavoursome with a nice kick of spice . Left there fully satisfied and stuffed which is hard to achieve for myself!

Just had the best meal here and for such a good price. The owners are so lovely and for it being the first time having Ethiopian food I was blown away by how rich and comforting it was. I will definitely be coming back again! Only complaint is that they don’t charge you enough for the amazing food they make!

Absolutely excellent, delicious and authentic Ethiopian cuisine. We’ve eaten Ethiopian a few times and in terms of flavour and quality of food this was the best. Lovely caring service, helpful suggestions and amazing results. Beef, lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes were all superb. It’s a casual restaurant with lovely Ethiopian family atmosphere, only 5 minutes walk from the shopping centre and such a treat compared to the usual chain restaurants. Ethiopian beers too, I’d recommend the St George with your meals. Simply delicious.

Ethiopian food at its best. We had a sharing platter for two with an assortment of meat and vegetable stews. Delicious, beautifully spiced and lovely friendly service as well. We will go again (and again), highest recommendation for this please if you are looking for excellent Ethiopian cuisine.

Authentic Ethiopian cuisine offers a unique and vibrant dining experience deeply rooted in the country's culture and history. The coffee is also exceptional, especially in the ceremonial preparation, rich, strong, and served with popcorn. It creates a memorable and culturally immersive food experience.

The food was so delicious and stuff was so nice I have received a great customer service. However I want to say massive thanks you for this wonderful food

Lovely restaurant. The lady who served us was very helpful and informative. The food was delicious - spicy and well flavoured. We also tried some interesting Ethiopian beers. Extremely good value for a city centre restaurant. If you've never had Ethiopian food before, give it a try.

We went with three generations of our family, and everyone loved it. We had a beef sharing platter, which was great value for the amount of meat you get between the four beef dishes. I have had Ethiopian food before, but my mother was initially put off by the fact you scoop up the food with the traditional spongy bread, but she soon got stuck in. The staff were lovely and helpful, we really had a good time. Also had some Ethiopian coffees afterwards, which were nice. Overall a great experience, which I would suggest it to anyone. If you are in Leicester and don't fancy yet another Indian meal, I thoroughly recommend this place which is only a few doors down from the Highcross

Spotted this place whilst dining at the also excellent Vietnamese restaurant across the street and resolved to give it a try. Dined there today with two vegetarian friends. Received a warm welcome and excellent service. The first thing that created a great impression was the Ethiopian macchiato. Honestly a fantastic coffee. We had two meat dishes and two vegetarian. My friends are not good with spicy food and so asked for theirs chilli-free, which it was. The flavours were excellent and the whole experience was good. I will definitely be back

Went here for lunch, got Beyaynetu (vegan platter with injera, several well-flavoured stews and a small amount of salad that had a simple but tasty dressing). We loved the spicing of the dishes but couldn't finish the meal, there was a lot of food! Very good value.

The girlies and I were crazing Ethiopian food and this restaurant satisfied all our crazing. The food was soooo good and we were so full by the end of it. Honestly if you haven’t been there yet, run! You need to go. I know I will go back for sure!

Fantastic food, fantastic service and a haberesha Ethiopian beer to wash it down, delicious. A real 60th birthday treat for me!

An absolutely brilliant Ethiopian restaurant. We enjoyed a delicious sharing platter and a selection of other dishes, and ended with a wonderful authentic coffee ceremony. Our host was patient with us and helped us with the menu. Excellent value also. Highly recommended.

Excellent place for food and if you like your food spicy…..as worth a visit 💥

No faults whatsoever, I honestly loved everything about this restaurant. The service was impeccable, it was our first time tasting Ethiopian food and we didn't know what to expect but the lovely lady working there helped us with the food menu and described the dishes very well. The flavours and presentation of the dishes was delicious and filling. We ordered a coffee ceremony as it looked very interesting on the menu and it did not disappoint. We learnt a lot about Ethiopian culture from it. The coffee beans used were strong in flavour and it was accompanied with popcorn! My 5 year old daughter is hard to please and she wasn't keen on the main that we had ordered (perhaps spices were strong for her but we enjoyed it) so we ordered a scrambled egg and tomato with bread and it came out, such a big portion but it was so good. She loved it! Thank you so much for an amazing meal and experience- we will definitely be coming back again!!

I love habeshan food. Guys come and check, I really enjoyed it 😊

I had never tried this type of cuisine before and when I rang to book a table I asked if the lady if staff could help with out order. When we arrived they went above and beyond with service, kindness and hospitality and then to top it off the food was amazing. My younger daughter can be picky and she said it was some of the best food she had ever eaten...a 11/10 if it was possible. Can't wait to go again

Dropped in for lunch to experience the Ethiopian cuisine. We were met with politeness and had an excellent meal. Thank you.

Hygiene level & food quality is 5/5 not less! Zebib is a lovely lady who’s making you feel welcome.

Absolutely brilliant. The food is top class but the service is just wow.

Great food! The place looks like any other restaurants in Ethiopia, it smells like Ethiopia. The staff are very friendly and caring. Thank you for the great food and service.

Very lovely food, first time trying Ethiopian food and staff recommended a very nice platter!

Delicious fresh food with amazing flavors! Excellent, friendly and helpful service! We will definitely be back!

If you want the usual very local flavors, this restaurant will not disappoint you. The staff is very welcoming and happy to introduce you to each dish. If you're looking for something to drink, don't miss the mead! Love from CN~

I recently had the pleasure of dining at fidel habesha cuisine and I must say, the dish is an absolute culinary delight and it tastes good. The staffs have greeted me with genuine smiles and made me feel truly welcomed. Keep it up the good work

Absolutely delicious food. The friendly ladies helped me to choose from the unfamiliar dishes. Everything is freshly cooked and tasted clean and healthy. Real food, home cooked. A joy for the tastebuds. I had a takeaway but will soon try to visit inside the restaurant. Highly recommended.

Excellent service, friendly and welcoming staff. The food is authentic and tastes amazing! The atmosphere is very homely.

We had a mixed platter with meat and vegetarian food. Plenty to eat and absolutely delicious. They were very helpful and friendly. Great atmosphere could not fault it. Would recommend to anyone. Next time Will have the vegetarian. Easy to get to from the clock tower walk down Church Gate it is on the left.

Great place for proper food lovers. The simple setup deceives the quality of food on offer. It has its own charm and the staff is what makes it. Go there without any preconceived notions or judgements. Anyone who likes to try new things and experiences then this is the go to place for it. Not all of it might be to your taste but for new cuisine experience it'd worth a visit.

It's beautiful restaurant, with the good service and the food is delicious. Everything is perfect

What a great day at the most beautiful Habesha place.Amazing atmosphere,friendly service . Best one in Leicester

Beautiful place clean and tasty food! I recommend this restaurant

Excellent customer service! A very warm, welcoming feel and experience at the restaurant. The food was delicious and authentic. The staff and the manager really care about the food they serve, and the customer experience they provide. We all enjoyed having an excellent conversation too 😊 When I next get the chance I'll be sure to visit to try other items on the menu... absolutely lovely food. Highly recommended for everyone to try this place and support this restaurant! A suggestion for improvement: Although it didn't bother me at all, some customers might prefer chairs rather than stools to have a back rest.

Delicious Ethiopian food, friendly owners and very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend!

I like the vibe of this restaurant, it’s traditional and clean and the food is very authentic and tasty.

Halal Raw Kitfo either minced or in strips - coffee is best in Leicester (actually, best in UK or outside of Eithipio/Italy) - great atmosphere, wonderful family staff, very reasonable pricing - definitely treat yourself today.

It was absolutely wonderful. The owners are extremely nice. Our food was tasty and fresh. We will come back soon. Thank you so much.

Very nice atmosphere and the staff are very kind and conversational. It was my first time trying Ethiopian food and the staff talked me through the different options well. I ate a beef dish called obama which was tasty and the serving size was massive. I was left full up and satisfied. Overall, would recommend 👌
