Lalibela Ethiopian - Carta

The food was exceptional, the decor was clean and beautiful, and the staff were incredibly nice.

I really hope you reopen soon! We drive all the way from Bentonville, Arkansas just to eat here. Everything is fantastic!

I was a bit unsure about what to expect, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised. The food is delightful and wonderfully seasoned. Ver carta

The food here is quite good, simple but to my taste. The prices are average. Everything was cooked perfectly, and they can make it spicy if you prefer.

The restaurant was very clean and everything we tasted from the special plate was delightful. The staff were also very polite. We will definitely visit again!

What truly made our visit memorable, however, was the warm and welcoming demeanor of our server, who might also have been the cook. We accidentally spilled a drink that quickly spread across the table and floor, but she graciously took care of the mess, reassuring us with, "Don't worry about it! Enjoy your evening!" Her kindness made us feel right at home, reminiscent of how a mother would care for her children, making us feel welcomed and special. This is exactly the kind of Saturday night experience I cherish—leaving the restaurant feeling full of great food and warmth in my heart. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening! Ver carta

My friend had lamb, which was tender and quite flavorful (not pictured). The leftover meat would make for fantastic-tasting fajitas!

We were truly impressed by the beautiful decor that reflected Ethiopian culture throughout the restaurant, from the artwork on the walls to the music and the dining tables and chairs. It created an authentic atmosphere that enhanced our dining experience. We shared the combo platter for two, which featured a delightful variety of meats and vegetables paired with their delicious injera bread. The owners were very warm and friendly, taking the time to explain the proper way to use the injera to scoop up the food, emphasizing the traditional hands-on dining experience. My favorite dish was the goat meat, which was incredibly tender and full of flavor. The portion was so generous that it could e...

A Cultural Dining Experience You Shouldn't Miss! The way the food is served and the flavors are quite extraordinary for those of us accustomed to BBQ and fried chicken. I enjoy exploring diverse cuisines, and this experience was truly memorable. Lalibela consistently receives high ratings from diners, and I can see why. I don’t have much to add, but I do have a few reflections from my visit. Initially, getting the hang of using the injera to scoop up the food can feel a bit challenging—it feels messy and awkward for someone raised with a knife, fork, and spoon. However, after a few bites, it starts to feel more natural. The richness of the food surprised me; it seems they use a generous amou... Ver carta
