    The restaurant is a lovely, cozy authentic one. The service was very good, fast even though we were with a group of 16 people. Also to mention that the co-workers were kind and the atmosphere was relaxed with authentic music.
    I’m sure that I will visit this restaurant more often.
    I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    The staff was very friendly and food was delicious. The portions were big and we didn’t manage to finish it all. Furthermore, its very affordable and just all around a great establishment. Would definitely recommend and I’ll be back soon 🙂

  • RISTORANTE INJERA

    Very pleasant environment, a little kitsch at first impression but elegant in details and service. Exquisite food from Eritrean cuisine, a bed of injera”bread” on which are laid cooked vegetables, sauces and (for those who are not vegetarians) delicious and tasty beef and chicken morsels…..whoever wants can ask for cutlery but the excellent is to use injera abread as a “spoon”. Delightful management by the staff. Quiet and relaxed environment, the bedlam of the surrounding aperitif venues in Rotterdam remains ….

    Very authentic Eritrean/Ethiopian food, the best I have tried in many years. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is amazing. I definitely recommend the traditional beers they have on the menu too. The ladies that work there are super friendly, helpful and accommodating. The restaurant is cozy with a colourful decoration and honestly it’s one of those hidden gems that you don’t stumble across very often. I look forward to visiting Dahlak many other times!

    Delicious and flavorful Eritrean food! Recommend the meat platter for sharing (it includes vegetables too). Some dishes were quite spicy, if it’ll be an issue maybe let them know. Skip dessert. Interesting interior, looks like it was a Dutch bar in its past life.

    What a nice restaurant, a little outside of the centre. Really cool location. Very nice food, really good also for groups.

  • Oscar

    I love this place! The food and service were outstanding. The food has a home cooking flavour that it is really nostalgic. The food was fresh and flavoursome. The injera (bread) was very delicious as well. The serving size are very generous. The mix dish has a great ration of meat and veggies. I am new to the city and it is the only Restaurant where I have returned. It really tastes like home.

  • Aaron Tan

    Didn’t expect this at all!! What a vibe to have East African decorations and music accompanying the meal.

    The server was very helpful throughout food selection and explanation. Injera dipping with the various meats/sides were such a delight.

    A great find. A new experience of eating with my hands, but not at all unpleasant. The lady who seemed to be in charge has been very kind and attentive. When the food arrived it looked very good. Very tasty, nice combination of spices, some new flavors for me. I recommend it 100%.

    Loved our experience at Sallina’s/Dahlak! It was my spouse’s birthday and we came for lunch here as we never had tried East African food before. The flavours were spectacular, the service was great, affordable prices, great quantity, and we loved the by window seating. The coconut beer was lovely as well, but we were hoping to try the mango which was sadly out of stock. Many people from the local community visit which is a great sign of the authenticity of food. Dahlak will now be my go to for Ethiopian/Eritrean food here on whenever I have a craving for it and find myself in Rotterdam. Truly a gem!

  • Lorenzo Bugiantella

    Beautiful dinner, the staff was super kind, and the food and atmosphere was immaculate. Highly recommended!!

  • Matteo Fontana

    Amazing food, great quantity, honest price!
    Although the place was totally empty and it was relatively late for lunch, around 14:30, we had an amazing meal. We were three people and sharing a mixed dish for two was perfect.
    I’ll definitely go back if there will be the chance.

  • Dr Win Sutanto

    Definitely worth 5+ star and an extra star for the friendliest service I have experienced anywhere in the city. This family-run Eritrean restaurant serves East African cuisine at its very best. The location (Nieuwe Binnenweg, photos included in this review) is within walking distance from the centre and easily reachable by public transport. Highly recommended and can’t wait to return soon.

  • Elin Wahlqvist

    Amazing food and amazing price!! Quite large portions I ate dinner and took home for lunch the next day. They even had mango and coconut beer served in a coconut!! I highly recommend.

  • Avery Schwartz

    Just had the most delicious lunch at the amazing restaurant — shared the set for two (shown in the picture) while sitting outdoors and enjoying the sunshine. Cannot recommend this place enough; all of the dishes were great, but the fish was a highlight. Will go back ASAP!

  • Ern Tian Loy

    The food was so good, and the service attentive. Highly recommend.

    Sumptuous meals – great Anjera, fantastic spread, great coconut beer and a lovely local community ambience. 10/10 recommended for foodies.

  • Vera Maria D

    delicious comfort food and super friendly staff! the music and atmosphere is so nice, too 🙂

  • Danny Chen

    Service was good, lady explained the concept and was very nice. Food was great, we got a lot for the price which nowadays is hard to find, something to be respected.

  • Elise Maduro

    The friendliest staff & the most delicious food! Would definitely come back and recommend!
