Ras Dashen - Footscray

The food was delicious, the owner was friendly and engaging, the coffee at the end was fantastic, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. We will definitely return!

We decided to try this Ethiopian restaurant after reading the Zomato reviews, as we were in Footscray. While my initial expectation was pretty average, by the time I walked out of the place I could not be happier. Ras Dashen serves a variety of delicious Ethiopian foods and is also vegetarian friendly. I loved their barbequey lamb dish which came out with a bit of veges and injera. A cup of ginger tea after a feast of a meal was definitely a great idea and the whole thing only cost 30 bucks for 2 people. Considering the amount of foods served, friendly staff members, and the general ambience of the restaurant, it was a steal. Highly recommended!

A humble joint that makes extremely delicious food! As you enter the restaurant you are welcomed with a big smile from the host. We usually let him decide our fate on what to eat and he seems to always get it right. Just let him know of any dietary preferences or allergies and he will do the rest. The food is consistently tasty and you get a good variety of dishes and stews to go with the injera bread. The atmosphere is always warm and cozy. It can get pretty busy so I suggest to book ahead to avoid any disappointments.

Consistently great food, lots of it, and good value. Along with Konjo it is the best Ethiopian food I have yet found in Footscray, and I should go here more often.

Very friendly staff. Food came out real quick. Ordered four mains and they serve it all up with injera which is really soft. Kney wot is delicous however abit spicy. Tibs fir fir was very tender lamb. Highly recommend the misir wot and beyaynetu
