A genuine welcome
Friendly guidance for newcomers and the easy familiarity regulars expect.
Our story
A little piece of Habesha culture in Leicester.
Fidel was built to share the food, generosity and unhurried welcome that make an Ethiopian and Eritrean table special.
Family-run in Church Gate
Food explained, shared and remembered
For guests who grew up with these dishes, Fidel offers familiar flavours and a place to feel at home. For guests discovering Habesha food for the first time, the team is ready to explain the dishes, spice levels and how to enjoy injera together.
The menu brings together slow-cooked stews, sizzling tibs, vibrant vegan plates, sharing platters, breakfast and traditional coffee—served with the warmth of a family table.

Generous platters and injera turn dinner into something everyone joins.
Choice at the table

Time to stay
