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.

This Ethiopian cafe is wonderful. The staff is more than friendly and they have always been sure to say hello and make us feel welcome. Fill out an info card and they will send you coupons for your birthday and other annual events. The Shorba (veggie lentil soup) is rich with flavor and great for a starter. As a vegetarian, I suggest the Veggie Combo platter if you are with a friend or Misir Wat and Tikil Gomen if you are alone. The cooking is fresh and every bite is heavenly. I am hooked! I dine here with friends at least once a week and you should too!
Pros: Superb service, Excellent food, Great location

I eat here everytime I get a chance. The guy that owns the place is always the only server, and he's super nice. The food is incredible! I can't pick a favorite..although the lamb is very tasty, as are the collard greens. I recommend the chefs plate for a group. It has a little of everything, and 4 or 5 people can easliy eat it all. Try an Ethiopian beer, Harar.
Pros: excellent food

On the weekends, they do a large group platter with a number of different dishes you can sample (they do a smaller one other times). You get a very large platter, covered in injera (flatbread) and the foods are placed in little mounds about the platter. You also get a basket of injeratear off a piece and scoop up some food. Utensils are available upon request. The foods are simplelentils, collards, chicken, beefbut the tastes are exceptional. Try the tiramisu (Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935, remember?). Its exceptional. One word of caution: take a few beanos beforehand.
Pros: The food, Eating w/your hands!, Tiramisu
