If you haven't visited Edmonton, you should plan a visit! It's a great city with lots to see and do, while they don't have a freeway system - the roads are easy to navigate and efficient. In addition you can easily get all around the city via their light rail.
If you're flying from Seattle, you can fly out of SeaTac (2 hours), or drive to Vancouver Int'l Airport or *best* .. drive to and fly out of Abbotsford Int'l Airport, we found tickets r/t for about $150, flight is only 1.5 hours, and as it's a small airport so the experience is so lovely!
So, to the food! We knew we had to visit Gebeta thanks to their inclusiveness to vegans by having a separate section on the menu dedicated for vegans (see included video), this in addition to having both salad and appetizer options labeled specifically as vegan!!! We started with their delicious Azifa Dip (Special zesty dip, made with blended lentils, garlic, onions, jalapenos, dijon mustard and olive oil. (Served with your choice of injera or pita bread)). This dish had an incredible depth of flavor, a perfect pairing for injera or pita bread! For the main dish, we chose the Vegan Sampler (Combination of house vegan dishes including, spicy red lentils, yellow split peas, green beans and carrot, beets and potato, shiro, whole lentils and cooked spinach). You really can't go wrong here, such an incredible variety of smells, flavors and textures and a different combination in each bite, you control the balance ... you have the power :). I'm a mango fan so I couldn't resist a tall glass of Mango Juice.
If you're a fan of Ethiopian food and visiting Edmonton, or if you've never had Ethiopian and are curious to try, Gebeta needs to be right at the top of your restaurants to visit, the Vegan Sampler alone is easily worth "the price of admission".

Flavors were good, cook on the beef was bad. Had clearly been cooked long ago. Value is abysmal. Can't believe what I paid for what i received.

What a stunning place this is! Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at Gebeta's cousin restaurant and bar with my family and friends. The atmosphere was vibrant, filled with the rich aromas of authentic dishes that truly reflect our cultural heritage. We enjoyed an array of flavors, but I was particularly captivated by the “lebleb tibs” I chose. The dish was perfectly seasoned, and the spicy kick added an exciting depth to the meal. Each bite was a delightful experience, and the warm, inviting ambiance made our evening even more special. It was a memorable dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore delicious cultural cuisine!

Meal was fantastic! Great place for a date. We had the beef stew and the chickpea stew- we couldn't finish it all and the injera was delicious.

I recently dined at Gebeta, and it was a delightful experience. The authenticity of the food stood out from the moment the first dish arrived.
The portions were generous, ensuring that you leave the table fully satisfied.
Moreover, the pricing is quite reasonable. In a world where dining out can often be expensive, it was refreshing to enjoy such high-quality, authentic dishes without breaking the bank. If you're looking for a place that offers genuine flavors, ample servings, and fair prices, Gebeta is the perfect choice.

Spent $60 for bread. Gave 2 meals like this. Small go container and 70% was bread. The meals themselves (meat veggies) were a few bites hidden under a whole roll of bread taking up the to go container. The food itself tasted ok. But for what we paid we didn’t know it was $55 worth of bread and $5 worth of meal. The price for value is what gets this review I’ve never left a bad review before and I feel bad leaving it but I’ve never had to order again after eating. This was a first and last.

Really good food and they have a whole vegan party of their menu so it's wonderful for vegans on the north side. They were incredibly wonderful to us as well. Thanks!
Vegetarian options: They have a whole area on the menu for vegans.
