In our culture, food means sharing. At Dahlak you enjoy colorful dishes with choices of different stews served on top of our traditional injera. With plenty of vegetables and vegan options.
You eat with your hands, but cutlery is always available. We even serve beer in a coconut shell, a playful nod to Eritrean tradition.
Everything we do, we do together, with love for our guests and our roots.
At Dahlak, coffee is more than a drink. Freshly roasted beans are brewed in a traditional jebena and served in three rounds, accompanied by incense and small bites. It is a ritual of taste, warmth and togetherness.
