To begin with, we go to Germany, Berlin. 

• Bejte Ethiopian Restaurant (4,5/5) – best on tripadvisor. Tasty food, affordable price, great selection. What’s not to like? In fact, it’s worth coming here for the coffee alone. Beware though: the food is spicy.

• Massai-Berlin (4/5) – they offer dishes from all four major culinary regions of Africa – with a few explanations on the menu. Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.
