Arba Minch Tourist Hotel Restaurant

Top choice in Arba Minch


Though the wait staff can be a touch clueless at times, this leafy compound with resident dik-dik roaming around looking for hand-outs is a great place to dine, and the food is tasty. Western dishes are popular, but the large menu makes this a good place to try some new Ethiopian foods.
