Nuria
Nuria is an Ethiopian restaurant in Madrid that serves traditional dishes from East Africa. The space is small and cozy with warm lighting and Ethiopian crafts on the walls, while food is presented on injera, a fermented flatbread made from teff grain that serves as both plate and utensil.
The restaurant opened in 2008 and has become a known spot for Ethiopian cuisine in Madrid. It contributes to sharing the rich culinary heritage of Ethiopia, a country with a long history of independence and early adoption of Christianity.
The restaurant serves as a gathering place where Ethiopian culinary traditions are shared and experienced by locals and visitors. Eating with your hands directly from the injera connects guests to a different food culture and creates a personal link to Ethiopian daily practices.
The restaurant is located near the Malasana neighborhood and is best visited with a reservation, especially on weekends and evenings, as it is small and fills up quickly. The place is convenient for a quiet meal and offers meat dishes, vegetarian options, and gluten-free injera.
A traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony is performed at the restaurant, where green coffee beans are roasted in a small pan over fire and the aroma fills the entire space. The ground coffee is then brewed in a special pot called jebena and served in a social ritual that connects guests.
