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 signed up for this account to do this specific review. It's that good. I went initially for something different. I still go regularly because the food is amazing. Quite a bit unorthodox but a hell of a lot of fun. Always a great conversation starter and first date restaurant. If you haven't been here, there's a hole in your life that you don't know exists and it's good Ethiopian food. Believe me, you won't be disappointed with this place.

I don't know if it's the only Ethipian restaurant in town, but I can say it's a very good option for people who look for a nice and different place to eat. Very good for vegetarians. My husband always order the mango juice. I like my order served with Injera and a sample of Ayeb. Lalibela has a very relax and friendly enviroment, we recommend it openly!

Located on Hardy and University, Cafe Lalibela offers some delicious Ethiopian food for its many patrons. The food is always succulent and flavorful and served with a side of tortilla-like bread. No utensils, just come with clean hands for eating! I highly recommend trying any of the platters, which will give you a good variety of the different textures and flavors their foods offer. Be prepared to share it though! One platter states it feeds 2-3, but I've found that it actually can feed about 4 people. Very filling. Try this place out!
