Nyala African Restaurant

Fitzroy's go-to Ethiopian restaurant, loved for injera, sizzling lamb tibs and warm, attentive service.

Warm, richly decorated dining room with African art and animal-skin wall hangings, occasional live music, elevated on the first floor overlooking Brunswick Street.

Live music some nights, honey wine (Tej) and St Georges Ethiopian beer, communal banquet eaten by hand with injera, upstairs corner position with Fitzroy views.

A genuine Ethiopian dining experience. injera, Tej honey wine and shared banquet service are called out repeatedly as authentic by reviewers new to the cuisine and long-time regulars alike.

The banquet, around $30-40, is repeatedly called generous and worth it for the variety, though a couple of reviewers flag smaller-than-expected portions on individual dishes.
