Taste. Conversation.
Connection.

La'za is more than a name — it expresses everything we want our guests to experience.

What La'za means

Delicious. Meaningful.
Worth staying for.

In Tigrinya, La’za describes something delicious, tasty and full of flavour. But its meaning goes beyond food.

When a conversation has La’za, it is interesting, meaningful and enjoyable — the kind of conversation you want to continue.

That is the heart of La’za Restaurant & Bar — Taste of Eritrea: beautiful food, meaningful conversation and people coming together.

“La'za is your home away from home.”

Our story

A family table, open to everyone.

La’za is a family-run Eritrean restaurant founded by Awet Ghebrelul, born from a passion for bringing people together through authentic food, warm hospitality and meaningful conversation.

Our atmosphere brings together modern style and traditional Eritrean hospitality — warm, intimate, comfortable and full of character. From the moment you arrive, we want you to feel welcome.

Whether you are joining us for a relaxed meal, meeting friends, spending time with family or celebrating a special occasion, La’za is a place to slow down, share food, talk, laugh and connect.

Our dishes celebrate the distinctive flavours of Eritrean cuisine, prepared with care and made for sharing. But at La’za, hospitality is about more than what is on the plate. It is about the people around the table, the conversations shared and the memories created.

What we stand for

Three words. One table.

01

Taste

Authentic Eritrean and Ethiopian flavours — berbere, awaze, slow-simmered zigni and fresh injera, including gluten-free teff injera.

02

Conversation

Food served to share, a pace that lets you linger, and an atmosphere that makes you want to keep talking.

03

Connection

Genuine family hospitality for every guest — neighbours, newcomers and the Eritrean community alike.

Eritrean coffee experience

The ritual of bun.

Coffee in Eritrea is never rushed. It is roasted, brewed and shared — an invitation to sit, talk and stay a little longer.

  • Green beans roasted fresh at the table, filling the room with aroma
  • Brewed in a traditional clay jebena and poured into small finjal cups
  • Served in three rounds — awel, kalaay and bereka — with incense
  • Perfect after a meal, or as the heart of a celebration
