The Age Cheap Eats 2008 "Mellow beats and smiley staff give African Town a seriously relaxed vibe. Eating here is hands-on, literally - all meals are served on injera bread (slightly sour, spongy pancakes) so there's no sweating on cutlery etiquette"
The Age Cheap Eats 2007 "With its welcoming, casual vibe, African Town is a hub for Footscray's Ethiopian community. Bring the whole gang and share plate-loads of slow-cooked, berbere-spiced stews like kik alicha (yellow split peas with onions, garlic and ginger), doro wot (spicy marinated chicken) or key wot (buttery beef)."
The Age Cheap Eats 2006 A social hub for Footscray's Ethiopian community, this laid-back restaurant serves up traditional stews to the strains of African synthpop. Come with a group, enjoy a Bedele lager and order to share.
Herald Sun CityStyle 26/04/05 Taste of Africa Sally Fisher "At Footscray restaurant African Town, owner Gezahagn Yedete makes traditional Ethiopian honey coffee a very sweet espresso. ... His menu includes traditional vegetarian and meat dishes"
