Editorial Review for Cafe Lalibela – by Rhonda K. Aburomi

In Short
Venture into the unknown armed with a wetnap and an appetite, because half of the fun of Ethiopian cuisine is eating with your hands. Space is intimate, so don't stand on ceremony--reach right in with your injera (spongy bread with a slightly sourdough flavor) and scoop up some wat (any of a variety of well-seasoned main entrees). Exotic spices like turmeric bring out the subtle flavors of meat and vegetarian dishes alike.

I have been in a lot of Ethiopian restaurants but this is the best place in the world. The food is amazing, the servce is excellent. If you are going with a party of three try Lalibela Exclusive (it has a sample of everything). I really recommende Cafe Lalibela.

Pros: food, tiramisu, service

Cons: none

A FRIEND OF MINE TOOK ME TO CAFE LALIBELA THIS PAST WEEKEND. THE FOOD THERE IS AMAZING. I LOVE TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS AND THIS PLACE IS TOPS! EVERYTHING WE HAD WAS EXTREMELY GOOD. WE HAD THE LALIBELA EXCLUSIVE, WHICH HAS A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING. THERE WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH FOOD FOR ALL 4 OF US. IT IS RECOMMENDED FOR PARTIES OF 3. IF YOU LIKE TO TRY NEW THINGS, OR JUST WANT TO IMPRESS YOUR FRIENDS WITH SOMETHING INTERESTING THAT THEY HAVEN'T TRIED... DEFINITELY GO TO CAFE LALIBELA.
