Mitmita Ethiopian Restaurant

First time at Mitmita & it didn't disappoint! We had lamb, beef & chicken & because they came with 2 veggies each, we were able to try almost the whole menu. I highly recommend getting extra injera, a spongy Ethiopian bread that takes place of utensils. That's right, you eat either your hands!For appetizers we ordered chicken and beef samosas. Ethiopian empanadas..They have beer & wine + and Ethiopian honey wine. All around a fun night out if you are craving something different. You won't be disappointed!!!

The best Ethiopian food in Tampa! Another restaurant where you walk in as a customer and leave as family. The restaurant's decor is a collection of cultural artifacts depicting Ethiopian heritage and history. The owner is so welcoming and always standing by to help those that may not be familiar with Ethiopian food. She is sharing her culture through her amazing food, one Injera at a time. We enjoyed both vegetable and beef sambusas, a vegetarian platter for two, Chef's Tibbs, and the very flavorful Ethiopian sweet tea. It was not the first time I have been to Mitmita's and it will definitely not be my last.

The food is unique and amazing, full of different flavors, service attentive. Wish they were more places with this kind of food. 10 stars .

Great food. I have been coming here for over 5 years and the food is consistently great. I love the vegetarian options. There is so much to choose for all types of diets. Athena and her family areAmazing and we always get service with a smile.

First time having Ethiopian food and definitely won't be the last. The decor is clad with traditional clothing, flags, and a variety of East African artefacts. We were greeted immediately when we walked in and were sat- the service is amazing! The owner is soooo nice and recommended great dishes in which we ordered. The honey wine had a unique flavor to it that I highly recommend, my boyfriend loved the beer he had 2 in total. Ordered some Sambusas that were eaten too quickly to take a photo of; one of each-my favorite was the chicken but all are really good. For entrees we ordered the lamb and fish tibbs and were told to eat the crepe that it's served on before eating the ones on the side, as it soaks up all the juices- it was delicious! Highly recommend this place if you're in the mood to try something new and won't find anywhere else. Will be back soon!

As always, this is my favorite Ethiopian restaurant in Tampa Bay, and I always get the Lamb Tibbs, they are the most flavorful! Athena is the owner, along with her husband Terr, and their beautiful daughter Makeda. I've been coming here for years, have worked here myself, and can absolutely say that if you want to have dinner, this is one stop you'll have to make.And do not forget to try the honey wine, and following your dinner, a cup of the most delicious coffee. THE ABSOLUTE BEST COFFEE (ask about their coffee ceremony ).

Generous portions of yummy food whenever I travel to Tampa for business, mitmitas is a must visit

After trying Queen of Sheeba I decided to give Ethiopian food another shot, like they say, always get a 2nd opinion. This place is located in strip center on W. Linebaugh Ave.. Mitmita seemed more authentic but I really have no way of knowing. The food was fresher but was also spicier.You get 2 Sambusa for $3 whereas the other place was $5 for one. I was right to think that the Queen place overpriced and not worth the money. I should haved rated them lower.The Sambusa here were better as well.The dish I had was Ye-Doro Watt and while spelled different was the same dish as I had at the other place. While flavors were similar, the food at Mitmita was obviously much better quality, was fresher and was a better value all around. I had the same wonderful beer and service here was better and quicker.While I am a novice on this type of cuisine, I know enough to reccomend this place over the other. There is not much of an ambiance here though. This kind of food is just not for me.

This was a 45 minute ride and worth it 100%. We had the BEST waitress, Athena help us navigate the menu and selections. The food was WONDERFUL and the wine and beer were terrific. We opted to skip appetizers since we thought we might fill up too much. It was a great decision since the portions are generous. This was my third Ethiopian meal -once in Europe and once in Philadelphia. This was just delicious and did not disappoint. Well worth the trip...Plan to return for those appetizers and more. Wish they were open for lunch!Thank you for a special experience.

The food was really good but the environment was a little bland. It almost feels like one is at a person's house and makeshift tables and tables were assembled.
