Ethiopian · Sheffield
Ethiopian cooking in Sheffield that's built for sharing, which turns out to suit families well — a vegan platter lands with lentils, cabbage and greens spread across fresh injera, big enough for two adults and generous enough that children can pick at it. Portions are large and prices are gentle, with lunch boxes of spicy lamb and rice around a fiver and platters near £10 a head. There are high chairs, a kids' menu, and plenty for vegans and gluten-free eaters. The owners are genuinely warm — one family arrived with a snack bought elsewhere for their five-year-old and were welcomed anyway (she ended up eating the injera instead). It's a small space with artwork on the walls rather than a play area, so it suits a proper sit-down meal more than a restless toddler. Takeaway is an option too.
