We visited this restaurant and had such a delightful culinary experience. The ambiance was cozy and authentically decorated, offering different seating options. If you wish to experience authentic Eritrean-Ethiopian food - then this is the restaurant to go to!! We ordered Ma Suwa (Eritrean beer), Gored-Gored (beef), Kulwa Keyih-Tsaeda lamb, Baklava (dessert). The dishes were spicy and so flavourful and also served in the traditional style, without cutlery. Eating with hands added a fun and immersive element to this whole experience. They even wash your hands before and after the meal, enhancing the authenticity of the dining ritual. The service was truly exceptional as well. The staff went above and beyond, assisting us with the order and providing detailed explanations of the dishes. The food surpassed all our expectations, offering unique and beautiful flavors. Thanks to my boyfriend's keen eye, or else we would have definitely missed out on this gem. This was definitely one of the highlights of our visit. I highly recommend everyone to visit this restaurant - for not just the food but the entire experience of it. Please visit! :)

If you're looking for an authentic African quisine, this is definitely a place to go 👌 The dishes are spiced very good and served in traditional way, which means without cutlery. Eating with hands was fun, and took longer so I got full before the plate was empty. We ordered a vegan dish for 3, but even 4 people got satisfied. It's worth to book a table if you're planning to eat there during weekend. This place is usually full with guests, that's a good sign! Additional entertainment is to observe how coffee beans are being roasted by the members of the service team in the middle of the interior 😎👌

This place serves authentic Eritrean-Ethiopian food in a very cozy setting! I'm very impressed with the decor, they filled the place with all kinds of objects but it doesn't feel cramped at all, but very atmospheric instead. You also can sit at tables that are more authentic to the experience, as well as more Western tables if that is what you're more comfortable with. The food was amazing! We chose 2 lamb dishes and a starter and all of the food was full of spices and so flavourful. They also serve quite a few vegan dishes. You have to eat with your hands, and they come wash your hands beforehand (which was also a really neat experience). The staff was very friendly and welcoming as well. All in all a great dinner, and will definitely come return!

Great food! Loved the flavors. The vegetarian options were fantastic. The restaurant had a great ambiance. I also tries the mango beer and that was quite tasty.

I was surprised, very pleasantly surprised. I already went in with high expectations but was still surprised. Amazing food, unique atmosphere, and friendly service. The food was super. We ordered a chicken and a beef dish which came with a unique bread. The combination was amazing. The honey wine was smooth and complemented the food as well. I'll definitely go again and would recommend people to go as well.

This restaurant was such a lucky find for us. My boyfriend and I are in Eindhoven for the weekend, and are trying out all the vegan options we can in that time! As soon as I saw the reviews and menu for Gezana, I knew we had to go. The food was all absolutely delicious. We shared the two vegan options and there was plenty! It wasn't just about the food for me, it was about the experience, and I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to everyone I know. I don't know when we will next be in Eindhoven, but we do have family in Amsterdam, so perhaps a day trip could be on the cards next time we go to visit them! Thank you for a wonderful meal and for making our trip to the NL so special.

This is a great restaurant to experience the rich Ethiopian Eritrean cuisine. The best part of this cuisine is the availability of amazing vegan dishes with so much variety and distinct tastes. They have two types of vegan plates and my suggestion is to try both if you go as a couple. I have no idea about the meat dishes but i think they are equally good. The coffee is delicious and strong. Overall, a memorable visit to this amazing restaurant.
