Hidmona Eritrean & Ethiopian Restaurant - A Cozy Spot for Authentic Cuisine in Copenhagen

Hidmona is a family-owned Ethiopian and Eritrean restaurant located near the center of Copenhagen's Nørrebro district. Opened in 2008, it has become a staple in the community, offering authentic cuisine from the Horn of Africa in a cozy and casual setting.

Reviews

We loved this place! Great food, really delicious, sufficient quantity and the whole place felt cosy and really welcoming. The person taking care of us was really kind, efficient and well mannered.

Been there a few times now. Plenty of food, great value for money and above all the service is SUPER nice.

Very delicious food. Did enjoy the different spices, various amounts of meat and tasteful vegetables. Clearly deserving 5 stars. Highly recommend this place.

Nothing special, cheap meat :(. - Service was very slow. We waited 50 mins for our order - Meat was hard to chew, stiff.

The food here was ok. I have had better Ethiopian food elsewhere. Having said that, I wouldn't hesitate to time here again. I had no real complain with the food.

Great place to try african food in Copenhagen. Waiters are really nice there. Will definitely try it the next time in town
