Why go

About Hidmona Eritrean & Ethiopian Restaurant
Copenhagen has plenty of casual dining options, so the useful reset is this: Hidmona Eritrean & Ethiopian Restaurant is a casual Copenhagen restaurant with opening hours that run into the evening every day. It is best suited to an easygoing meal rather than a polished special-occasion room.
For a date, birthday, or group meal, keep expectations casual and confirm any needs directly with the restaurant before you go. The direct details are simple: the dress code is casual, the restaurant is open Monday from 2–10 PM; Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday from 12–10 PM; and Friday and Saturday from 12–10:30 PM.
Better for relaxed plans than formal occasions
The booking call is simple: this is best framed as a casual Copenhagen option. If the occasion depends on a white-tablecloth room, a named wine program, a chef-led format, or private-room specifics, those details may need to be confirmed directly. If the plan only needs a relaxed restaurant with evening availability, Hidmona Eritrean & Ethiopian Restaurant can stay on the short list.
The hours also make it easier to consider across different parts of the day. It opens at 12 PM Tuesday through Sunday and at 2 PM on Monday, with closing at 10 PM most nights and 10:30 PM on Friday and Saturday. For any details beyond those hours and the casual dress code, check directly with the restaurant.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Hidmona sits in a lived-in Nørrebro block and feels like a neighbourhood find rather than a performance-driven dining room. The place emphasizes shared experience: large injera rounds arrive under mounds of stews, lentils and vegetables, and the meal unfolds by tearing bread and passing plates. That communal structure creates a warm, approachable atmosphere that’s less about slick presentation than social ritual. For diners who prefer unpretentious, people-focused evenings over staged tasting menus, Hidmona reads as an intimate, charming alternative rooted in tradition and local life.
Best For
This is a venue for milestone meals that prize closeness and collective sharing. The menu’s communal format makes it especially suited to anniversaries, birthdays and small celebratory gatherings where passing plates and eating from the same injera plate is part of the occasion. It contrasts with Copenhagen’s sequential tasting counters by offering a social, interactive dinner that rewards groups who want to linger, talk and share. Visitors looking for a neighborhood celebration rather than a formal, plated service will find the format appeals to group dining and convivial evenings.
Ordering Tips
Order with sharing in mind: the meal is organized around injera and shared platters, so plan to pick a selection of stews, lentils and vegetable dishes to distribute across the bread. Eating is done by tearing pieces of injera to scoop sauces and sides, so a variety of textures and flavors on the table enhances the communal experience. Come with friends or family so you can sample multiple plates; because the food is presented for sharing, aim for several different stews and vegetable preparations rather than single, individual entrées.

Also consider
If you cannot get a table
Try Ranee's first if the goal is another sit-down dinner rather than a snack-led plan. For something more casual and craving-specific, Poulette CPH is the cleaner backup when the group will be happy with fried chicken instead of shared Eritrean and Ethiopian food.
Restaurant context
How it compares for casual Copenhagen meals
Hidmona Eritrean & Ethiopian Restaurant is the better call if the group wants a shared Eritrean and Ethiopian meal rather than a single-format comfort-food stop. Poulette CPH is more direct for fried chicken, Diamond Slice reads better for pizza-led plans, Banana Joe is the simpler burger-style fallback.
For booking ease, Hidmona is the low-stress choice in this set: it suits a casual lunch or dinner without the same occasion pressure as a more designed night out. VSN Auto and Ranee's are the closer cross-shops when the decision is about a sit-down meal rather than a quick bite, but Hidmona has the clearer group-sharing logic.
Choose Hidmona when value is about feeding a table and keeping the plan easy. Choose Poulette CPH, Diamond Slice, or Banana Joe when the group wants one narrow craving solved fast.
