About Family Cafe Eritrean and Ethiopian restaurant

A small family-run spot near the Barrowlands doing Eritrean and Ethiopian cooking that hasn't been softened for British palates — worth knowing if you want your children eating something new without a fuss being made. The veggie platter is huge and meant for sharing, which suits a table of small appetites, and the zigni beef stew and seada tibs come up again and again. Injera makes a decent finger-food dinner for children who won't manage cutlery. High chairs, a kids' menu and plenty of vegan choices are all there, and the staff are generous with explanations if nobody knows what to order. It's basic inside — bright lights and music that can get loud — so it's better for a lively family meal than a quiet one. Prices are genuinely low, and the cardamom coffee ceremony, served with warm sweet popcorn, is a small event in itself.
