Eritrean home cooking in the Van der Pekbuurt — injera, unforgettable assa fish and hospitality that makes strangers regulars.

In the up-and-coming Van der Pekbuurt, Mosob Asmara serves Eritrean cooking the traditional way: shared platters on spongy injera, eaten by hand, built for the middle of the table. The assa — spiced fish — is the dish people write home about, the okra soup the right way in, and the honey-toned Eritrean tea the right way out. It's family-run with the warmth to match, vegetarians are well looked after, and on weekend nights the room keeps going past midnight, occasionally with live music. Go with a group and order broadly.
