Ghibabo Restaurant
Ghibabo
Asmara's most recommended restaurant, serving traditional Eritrean stews and Italian pizza from the same menu, with a pleasant courtyard at night
Located in the city center, Ghibabo tops many guidebooks and blogs as the first choice in Asmara. Traditional Eritrean dishes such as injera with zigni, a spicy meat stew, are served alongside classic Italian pizza and pasta. It is popular with both local professionals and foreign visitors. The courtyard has a lovely atmosphere after the lights come on at night, with indoor and outdoor seating. Saturday evenings and Sunday lunch are the busiest times, so arrive early for dinner. Mid-range prices, about ERN 150–250 per person. It is a few minutes' walk from Harnet Avenue.
