I ordered the vegetable Platter (Beyayentu), and I must admit that they have one of the most flavorful vegetarian platters that I have had in Nairobi. I found this restaurant based on positive reviews...and everyone was completely accurate. Do yourself a favor and try this restaurant sooner than later! Absolutely Delicious!!

The food is sooo good here that I am a weekly customer! The attention to the flavor profiles in the food is amazing, especially for the vegetarians and vegans. Consistency is key for restaurants that want returning customers, and Sip Habesha is always consistent. Customer Service is just as amazing as the food. Absolutely love it!!

Tantalizing! What truly elevated the experience was the traditional Ethiopian coffee. Watching the coffee being roasted, brewed, and served in a jebena was a cultural delight that added a special touch to the meal. The highlight is zigni 10/10

I was craving Ethiopian food, and Sip Cafe definitely hit the spot for me. I ordered the goat key tibs with an extra order of gomen (collard greens) for delivery, and wueh, I’m pleased. The food was so flavorful and the level of spice was just right. It was easy to order via WhatsApp. The customer service was great, and the food came hot and freshly prepared. I will definitely be ordering again.

Amazing place with great owners. After trying to find a nice spot with coffee I finally found this place. Latte is to kill for and on second round I went with my daughter who had pancakes and she loved them. Highly recommend

Sip Cafe Habesha in Nairobi is a gem! The inviting ambiance and friendly staff create a lovely dining experience. I enjoyed delicious injera with wats, and the traditional coffee ceremony was a true highlight—rich and aromatic! If you're craving Ethiopian food and great coffee, this place is a must!
