Ras Hotel Garden Restaurant
ራስ ሆቴል
A shaded garden restaurant at the long-established Ras Hotel, where you can eat pizza, Ethiopian stews, or have a beer under the big trees. It's a good place to rest between sightseeing.
Located inside the Ras Hotel in Harar's New Town. The covered outdoor dining area is shaded by large fig trees, cool and quiet, and many tour groups stop here for lunch. The menu mixes Ethiopian dishes with Western light meals. Pizza is the most consistently rated and is popular with locals too. Other traditional dishes include chicken stew, raw minced beef and chickpea paste, along with fish goulash, grilled skewers and avocado shakes. Reviews of the food are mixed, service is often slow, and the sandwiches have a poor reputation. Mid-range prices, with an ATM next door.
