Amazing food and lovely atmosphere

We had dinner at Semhar this evening and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Firstly, the owner kindly let us in a few minutes before the restaurant opened because it was cold and raining. Then the food was just fantastic. Some of the best Ethiopian food I’ve had, and definitely the best injera! The vegetarian platter can be made vegan very easily, and it was so delicious. The restaurant was maybe 20 mins on foot from the city centre, so very easy to get to and near tram and bus stops. I would give it five stars if happy cow let me! Would highly recommend and we will return next time we are in Amsterdam

Pros: Excellent food, Friendly server, Big portions

Best of its kind, vegan aware

Update: still great as of January 2025, now with explicit mention of vegan options on the menu.

We love Eritrean-Ethiopian food and Semhar is definitely the best of its kind that we know. All the vegetarian dishes and the injera (pancakes) are vegan, and if you ask for the vegetarian combination (BEBEANETU) to be vegan, they're happy to oblige, and it comes without goat cheese. And it's fantastic!

Great flavors, great for sharing

We had a lovely meal here. As other reviewers have pointed out, just make sure you tell the staff that you are vegan, and they are happy to adapt the dishes for you, or serve you cheese on the side if you are with other non-vegans.

Prices are decent, portions are hefty, and their drinks are quite affordable. Lovely service, and chill vibes. Will definitely be back!

Pros: chilll atmosphere, all vegetarian dishes can be made vegan, good flavors & prices

Nice African restaurant

Ask for the vegan way to eat and they will leave out the feta. It’s delicious and a great experience to eat here.

Pros: Way to eat, Owner explains everything , Culture
