Savanna African Restaurant & Cafe

This is my favourite Ethiopian! The vegetarian combo is soo amazing. I love the shiro chickpea sauce The owner is very sweet and lovely and cooks this all herself. Very authentic experience - highly recommend

Delicious food with a buzzing atmosphere. We had the share plate and it was more than enough for 2 people

Tasty but overpriced for the size of the portion, the Injera was a fair size, but there was barely enough to fill you up.

Wow, just wow. Went here for dinner with my brother and we had the share plate for two with a selection of different dishes on it. More than enough for two. We were both very happy. I'm looking forward to returning.

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a satisfying and tasty Ethiopian vegetarian meal. It was an enjoyable dining experience and the lady was very nice and amicable.

Wow so so sooooooo delicious! Really generous portion on the two person platter, all the topping were perfect and I can't wait to come back!

Turned up at a listed open time and restaurant wasn't open for a partners birthday. Called no answer and checked FB page didn't mention wasn't open

The food here is just so good. We’ve been to a few Ethiopian and Eritrean places around town but this is one of my favourites. Great service, delicious food. We never go past the platter. Thanks for a great evening.

My friends and I had the feast for three and there was quite a fair bit of food to get through. The food was definitely unique as I have never had Ethiopian & Eritrean food before and would recommend people to go and taste it for themselves!

Ordered a platter for 3 for $70
Reckon its big enough for 4 people
Curry is quite hot but I liked it!

By far the best Ethiopian we have here in the city. The platters are so delicious and the owner makes sure that you’re taken care of. It’s nice seeing the place full and everyone happy with their food. Highly recommend this place for bookings. We always bring friends and family or people from out of the city because it’s just a gem in the area.

Delicious food and a great change from all the usual cuisines. Looking forward to going back!

One of my top 10 favourite restaurants in Melbourne! Delicious vegetarian options and amazing meat options. The injera is so good. A great place if you want to eat a lot but on a budget and great for group outings. Amazing gem in Collingwood.

Amazing food! We got the mixed meat platter for 2, it was so flavourful, so much variety, and loved the injera bread. Really nice atmosphere, reasonably priced alcohol too, friendly waitress. Would recommend

Amazing place for authentic Eritrean and Ethiopian food!

We ordered the Vegetarian Beyaynetu – shared platter for 2 people ($54.90) where you get a taste of all vegetarian dishes described in the “Platter Choices” with Shiro and served with injera.

It was served really quick, and was hot. Everything about the mixture was oozing with flavor. We devoured it and were probably the only ones who cleaned up the plate with the last bit of injera and veggies.

They sadly didn't have local Ethiopian beer at the time of our visit, but it will be worth checking in case you are ever there.

Definitely coming back again for more food! The perfect value for money.

Super delicious food! Both meat and vegetarian/vegan dishes were outstanding! Will definitely return

I love coming here and always recommend it to friends!
The food is one of my favourites and the service is so nice and caring – the first time I came here was by myself late at night and they offered to charge my phone!?
Came here recently with friends and they were very accomodating of dietary needs (although there is no gluten free food available they were really transparent about this and allowed my friend to bring in food from another establishment!)
Beautiful part of the collingwood community & plan to come back any time I'm in the area

So delicious as always. This place is amazing, great value and wonderful service. First time back in two years and just as good as we remembered.

The woman who runs this place remembers us from the very first time we went years ago and although we don't get over that way too often she's delightful. We asked if she sold take home because it's the most satisfying vegetarian option I've ever had and she said not really because she only serves it fresh and she is in the business to see the faces of her customers when they eat her food. A real gem. Don't doubt it and don't be put off by possible racists who complain about her. They're impatient, disrespectful, and unkind.

Great food. The share plate for 3 was great value and good way to try many of the dishes. Nice flavours, would recommend!
