About

Nestled opposite the Gothenburg Opera, Restaurang Simba is a vibrant celebration of Ethiopian and Eritrean flavors that has earned rave reviews from locals and travelers alike. The menu centres on the traditional injera flatbread – a sour, spongy sourdough – served with an array of richly spiced dishes such as kitfo, doro wat, and a generous selection of vegetarian and vegan options. The décor blends earthy tones with hand‑crafted African textiles, creating a warm, family‑friendly atmosphere that’s perfect for sharing large platters or dining for a couple. With free Wi‑Fi, wheelchair access, and a dedicated bar offering an ever‑changing drinks menu that includes Ethiopian honey wine (tej), classic cocktails, and a selection of fine wines and craft beers, Simba is a one‑stop destination for food lovers who crave something different. Reservations are recommended during peak hours (16:00‑22:30) but are not mandatory – you can also order for take‑away from the online menu or book your party via the contact form.
