Exploring the outskirts of Leeds led me to discover the gem that is Corarima, a gluten-free, vegan haven in Wakefield. As someone currently navigating a gluten-free journey, stumbling upon this Abyssinian vegan/gluten free restaurant was a true delight.
Opting for the combination platter for two was a journey through a sensory layer cake - a symphony of tastes and smells expertly presented. We embraced the experience, relishing the deliciousness with our hands, a practice met with the owner's delighted approval.
The host, a charming and attentive soul, took us on a culinary tour, passionately detailing each dish. He was so warm, Friendly and attentive - without being over-bearing. The decor added to the warmth, creating a homely ambiance that made this dining experience extraordinary.
In the realm of UK dining, Corarima has secured its spot among our favorites. It's more than a restaurant; it's a rare and complete experience, a testament to the charm and authenticity of Abyssinian cuisine.
I wish we lived closer as we’d visit regularly for sure!
Myself and my partner celebrated our anniversary here on a mid week evening. The service from start to finish was exceptional, we don't feel we've ever experienced service quite like it. We can't fault Corarima on anything: food, service and atmosphere all above the rest. We aren't vegetarian or vegan, and haven't tried Ethiopian cuisine before so it was quite out of our comfort zone but everything was so tasty and felt really authentic and family owned.
This was my first time visiting and it definitely won’t be the last! We had booked a table for 4 on a Saturday lunchtime. The welcome was warm and genuine. The atmosphere was relaxing and at no time did we feel pressured to order or eat up. We had the filled pastries to start, along with hummus. For mains, we chose the cabbage curry, lentil curry, green beans/potato, and a Berbere potato dish. It came with the most delicious pancakes too. The coffee to finish was beautifully served and everything was explained in terms of the cultural background. Even the restroom was immaculately clean.
