What to Eat at Ethiopia Green Restaurant Dubai How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Ethiopia Green Restaurant Dubai, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Allow time. Build in extra time for the meal, as one reviewer found service slower than at comparable Ethiopian restaurants.
Confirm spice. For delivery or sensitive diners, repeat your spice preference clearly and check the order, since one no-pepper request was missed.
Share platters. Consider sharing Mahberawi: a takeaway portion was reported as enough for two to three people.
Ask for guidance. If Ethiopian food is new to you, ask the team how to eat it and which dishes are popular.
Try coffee. Leave room for the coffee experience; reviewers mention traditional service in a jebena and freshly roasted beans.
Check injera. If the bread seems unusually sour or questionable, raise it before settling into the meal.

The Bottom Line
Ethiopia Green Restaurant is a good introduction to Ethiopian food in Hor Al Anz, especially if you want a shared meal rather than a standard individual plate. The menu highlights dishes such as Mahberawi, a mixed meat platter, Kitfo, shiro and vegetarian plates, typically served with injera. First-time diners have appreciated staff explaining how to eat the food and recommending popular choices.
Portions are a real feature. One customer said a Mahberawi takeaway was enough for two to three people, while another found the vegetarian plate huge for 40 AED. The food is generally described as richly seasoned, with one reviewer noting that the Mahberawi was flavourful without being spicy.
That makes it easier to taste the different meat dishes and sauces. The setting is cosy, clean and culturally styled rather than purely functional. The coffee experience is worth noting: reviews mention beans being roasted in the restaurant, coffee served with bahur, and a traditional ceremony in a jebena.
Staff are usually praised for being attentive and welcoming, and parking was described as easy to find. Allow extra time, though. A reviewer found service slower than at other Ethiopian restaurants, and another reported spoiled injera and a very long wait for extra bread.
Delivery customers should also confirm spice instructions carefully.
