If you're in Wakefield and in the mood for something a little bit different (and by "different," we mean a whole new flavour experience), then look no further than Corarima. Nestled in the heart of the town, this unique Ethiopian restaurant offers up a feast of spices, rich flavours, and a true taste of East Africa – all without needing a passport. It's the kind of place where you might just find yourself saying, "This is unlike anything I’ve ever tried... and I’m here for it."

Welcome to the World of Ethiopian Cuisine

So, what exactly is Ethiopian food? Well, let’s just say it’s a magical combination of spices, stews, and a little thing called injera. If you’ve never had it, then buckle up – Corarima in Wakefield is about to take your taste buds on a whirlwind tour of Ethiopia without any of the jet lag. The star of the show is injera, a soft, spongy flatbread that you tear into pieces and use to scoop up the various stews and dishes. It’s delicious, slightly tangy, and a perfect vessel for all the rich flavours coming your way.

The Food: Rich, Spicy, and Full of Flavour

At Corarima, the menu is a treasure trove of authentic Ethiopian dishes that will have you feeling like you’ve stepped into a home-cooked meal straight from the heart of Addis Ababa. From spicy lentils to tender lamb, everything is packed with flavour. The doro wat (chicken stew) is a favourite, simmered to perfection in a spicy berbere sauce that’ll have you wondering why you’ve waited this long to try it. If you're not into chicken, the shiro (a stew made from chickpeas) is a fantastic vegetarian option that doesn’t skimp on flavour. And then, of course, there’s the injera – you can’t forget the injera. It’s not just food; it’s part of the experience. As you scoop, tear, and dive into the delicious stews, you’ll realise it’s the perfect way to enjoy food – communal, messy, and, best of all, extremely satisfying.

The Drinks: Sip in Style

No meal is complete without a drink, and Corarima doesn’t disappoint. Whether you fancy a traditional Ethiopian honey wine (known as tej) or a refreshing glass of Ethiopian beer, they’ve got you covered. If you’re looking for something non-alcoholic, their spiced tea is an aromatic option that’s both comforting and refreshing. It’s like a hug in a cup – ideal for when you’ve overindulged in all the delicious food (which, let’s be honest, you probably will).

The Atmosphere: Warm, Welcoming, and Full of Heart

The best part about Corarima in Wakefield (aside from the food, of course) is the atmosphere. The vibe is friendly, warm, and incredibly welcoming – just like the food. The staff are attentive, and the restaurant itself has a cosy, intimate feel.

If you’ve never eaten with your hands before, Corarima is the perfect place to embrace your inner messy eater.
