Eat at this restaurant!!!!
I had never eaten Ethiopian/Eritrean food before eating at Safari. A friend told us that it had opened, so being the curious people who love ethic food that we are, Mark and I decided to try it. The first time we went we loved it, so much so that in just a week, I think we went there 3 times! The waiter is so gracious and always greats us with a smile. Service is at its own pace, and to those used to fast service this may be frustrating, but we've come to appreciate the relaxing time. It definately feels like we are out of Ottumwa when we are there. The first times we left feeling as though we could never eat again, our bellies were so full, but last time we decided to take some home and we just at it for supper. I hope this place stays in business a long time and that people will appreciate it.
What a nice new addition to Ottumwa. The food was delicious -- and the experience was "authentic Africa." Samuel is a very gracious host and fabulous chef. We had the fish. I will definitely go back and recommend this place to others. Please support Safari and help them succeed!
Having been to Ethiopia, I can attest that the food is authentic to its cutrual roots. The service is excellent, so welcoming. When you go make sure to get the beef tibs and a kettle of coffee. So good!
Thanks again for a wonderful lunch! The Yebeg Wat in particular was fantastic!
Was a different experience but when you go in and visit with these people it was worth the visit
The food is EXCELLENT, and the customer service is beyond exceptional, would highly recommend! :)
Friendly service with a smile. Expect to stay a while and enjoy the hospitality. Ask the waiter whats good he will be honest with you.
Great service, great food, and great people! Also, thank you so much for showing me love. I'm definitely going back for more!
Food is fresh and delicious -- lamb berbere is succulent, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. My favorite! And don't forget to try the tea - a spicy blend of ginger and cinnamon.
So delicious! The owner and his family are so friendly. Excellent experience, can't wait to go again!
Do yourself a favor and experience this dinning delight.
Defiantly came in skeptical but left impressed. Food was great and hot tea and mango guava absolutely amazing.. would for sure go back
