Cafe Lalibela - Menu

I love Ethiopian food, and this place did not disappoint.

Fantastic, wholesome, filling, delicious, and reasonably priced. I really enjoyed this meal. There is a column of labeled vegan selections on the menu. Tossign tea was good for something different as well.

There is a designated vegan section on the menu. We shared the vegan deluxe and it was more than enough food for 2 people. Friendly, speedy service on a busy night. One of our favorite places so far in Phoenix area. View menu

i enjoyed the vegan deluxe, where i was able to sample 7 different vegan dishes which all varied in flavor and texture! i really do love being able to get so much variety out of one meal, and the portion size is generous for the price. i’d say the service was above average for the business of the restaurant, and i would recommend coming here for ethiopian in the area

Wish I could give it five stars. They have a whole vegan section to choose from. And, they have gluten free Injera as an option. It’s hard to find an Ethiopian restaurant with authentic injera because most restaurants mix in wheat with the teff flour. They offer Injera with 100% teff flour, therefore making it gluten free. I ordered the vegetable combo, and was very satisfied.

Great selection of vegan items. My partner and I shared the Vegan Deluxe for 2, which came with tasters of all of their vegan dishes on top of injera (a huge sourdough pancake) with a side of injera as well. Some of the tasters were good (misir wat, salad), others we didn’t really care for (azifah, gomen). The injera was really filling, more so than the dishes, and added an odd taste. The flavors weren’t that complex. View menu

My husband and I stopped here for lunch while in the Tempe area. We were greeted with a smile and seated right away. We decided to order the Exclusive Vegan platter (made for 3-4 people) thinking we would have enough for leftovers... well, it was SO good we ended up eating the entire platter (hehe) if we re ever in the Tempe area again, we would absolutely dine here again! It was the best Ethiopian restaurant we’ve ever dined at to date.

This restaurant has a nice selection of vegan options and you get a huge portion for the price. The meal comes served on a large helping of injera and also comes with a side of injera. You can order 2-3 different dishes to try or pick one of their combos. I really enjoyed the spices and flavors in their dishes and the injera is pretty good too. The only thing I didn’t like was how much oil the dishes had in them. When I finished my meal the injera that the dishes were served on was soggy and had soaked up a lot of oil. Other than that it was a good experience.

This was a suggestion for date night of my husband’s. We have decided to start looking outside our comfort zone at home and he found this awesome gem. There is an entire section of the menu dedicated to vegan food and an entire vegan variety plate. It’s nice to be able to order without modifying or having to explain our dietary restrictions. The food was flavorful, well spiced, and all visually interesting and different. We tend to enjoy eating a wide variety of foods with varying colors. This totally fit the bill! I would recommend if you’re looking for an interesting experience in Tempe! The place was pretty packed with regulars, so you know it’s good! View menu
