Kilimanjaro Restaurant in Amsterdam is not technically only Ethiopian. This wonderful local favorite serves a delicious menu of pan-African cuisine perfect for most any palate. Vegetarians have a bounty of choices; meat eaters can indulge in tasty morsels like Sengalese lamb curry; the adventurous can wash down their crocodile steaks with banana beer.

The seating in winter is quite cozy (i.e. small) with only around 25 seats (on the ground). This means that it is a great place to while away the rainy, cold days…if you can get a table. In the summer, the cool outdoor patio makes for a perfect place to savor the tastes of Africa. The décor is simple and manages to mix elements of Africa into the simple design without looking Congo-cabana cheesy.
Other menu highlights include spicy Ethiopian chicken and antelope goulash. The food is, of course, best eaten with your hands. Ask the wait staff for recommendations. If you are open to trying new, and seemingly strange, items, they will set you up with a memorable culinary experience. Expect to spend around € 20 on an unforgettable meal.

Kilimanjaro Restaurant is located on the east side of Amsterdam still within the inner city on Rapenburgerplein. The Waterloopein Station is your nearest transit location. It is not too far from the Maritime Museum.
