“This place is truly a hidden gem! Walking distance from where we live, we decided to give it a try a while back and we’ve been loyal customers ever since. Highly recommend the veggie platter, lamb awaze tibs, doro wot, alicha wot, and honey wine!“
“This is really a hidden gem in the city of Inglewood. If you want fresh, flavorful, authentic Ethiopian food this is your place! I believe everything is made to order so it might take a little while to get your order but it’s worth the wait. I felt really welcomed by the owner Emma. If it’s your first time here I would recommend two things. First, park on La Brea and ask someone to open the gate so you can park inside if parking is available and Second, which could have easily been first, get the awaze tibbs and some honey wine. The sauce that comes on the awaze tibbs is full of flavor. This was only my second time here but I definitely plan on returning soon. Last thing I’ll say is if you get the chance check out the dining area out back.“
“Probably the best Ethiopian food in L.A. They cook it fresh to order with high-quality meats, very tender, and good portions. We don't go here often though, because the food advantage is outweighed by the long delays in getting the food. We have never waited less than 40 minutes after ordering. Also the service isn't the greatest and the atmosphere is cramped and not the best. So depends on what you want -- great food, or a more comfortable, all-around dining experience. If you want the former, Awash is your choice. If the latter, there are plenty of other Ethiopian places nearby with really good food that are quicker and more comfortable inside, with better service.“
“let me start by saying this is the BEST vegan Ethiopian food i've ever had. i have frequented a lot of Ethiopian restaurants and the veggie platter combos just don't compare to Berbere. the atmosphere is so calming and refreshing and the ambiance is amazing. the staff were quick and efficient as well as attentive without being annoying. the food was served fresh AND hot and the flavors will excite a party in your tummy!! i went here with my mom and we shared everything. to start i ordered the et tacos and let me tell you the reviews for the tacos were right on the money. i never thought id like a taco that wasn't traditional but these made me rethink tacos as a whole. the flavors were so powerful and delicious. honestly it's just best if you're reading this to just try them. no amount of words can describe the flavors. for the main dish, we ordered the eat the rainbow with red lentils, yellow garbanzo beans, purple cabbage and potatoes, and kale. although i loved everything the KALE was the star of the show. it really surprised me how freaking delicious it was. i mean it was tangy but also seasoned just right. cooked to perfection if i do say so myself. to drink we both ordered the blackberry (could've been blueberry not sure?) mint lemonade and it was refreshing. i didn't feel guilty drinking it at all. for dessert i ordered the sublime confection and it was superb!! it's an interesting dessert to describe but it had banana and chocolate and ice cream and that was enough for me to order. the banana was not overwhelming either. i ended off dinner with a hot cacao and i burned my tongue so badly but it was so good i didn't even mind it. the cacao was so rich and thick. it was a nice treat to end a wonderful dinner. all in all our experience here was everything and more. i cannot wait to go back soon because it's right near my job two blocks away. side note: it is on the pricier side but i promise you won't feel robbed or cheated the portions AND the flavors are worth every damn penny. berbere is a 10000/10.“
“the street parking was free on a Sunday when i went. interior was dimly lit with tasteful paintings and pieces of art hanging on the walls. it was my first time eating Ethiopian food and the server was very patient with my questions. we ordered the veggie sambusa, which was flavorful and crispy-hot from the kitchen. beware that the green sauce it came with was much spicier than i expected. the star of the night was the veggie utopia. our server poured our lamb and chicken tibs into the middle of the huge circular platter of veggie utopia. very delicious and nice.“
“love coming here, it’s a very inviting space. the owner is always there and extremely hospitable and everything’s reasonably priced. it’s small and i imagine that it can get packed fast although i’ve never seen this. great music choices as well!“
“It is simply too easy to say that this meal was excellent. We had the fried plantains, which were piping hot and so sweetly delicious, and the Vegan tasting platter. There were three of us and we were given the suggestion of ordering a double portion of the six different vegan entrees and it was the perfect amount! Our server was so friendly and gracious and most appreciative of our compliments to her. This was a great spot of random choice. We would definitely go back again on our next visit to LA!“
“The Hudade special combo was so delicious and satisfying. All the different items went so well together, with the veggies cooked to the perfect texture. This is the best I've had at any Ethiopian restaurant. Ordering take out was pretty easy, but the restaurant is welcoming and warm -- looks great for dine in. Will definitely be back.“
“This is the kind of resturant where the whole staff care about what they are doing. As a result, the atmosphere is welcoming, the vibes cozy, and the food delicious. It's a perfect spot for a lingering date night. The best part of the night was when Chef Genet herself brought out her famous Dorowat for our party. It's earthy and deeply flavorful, a real treat. The vegetable dishes were my favorites, they all tasted very fresh and bright. A few words of caution, finding parking in the area can be tricky. The space is a little dark and echoy, so guests with vision or hearing problems may struggle.“

“This little neighborhood place is a hidden gem! We've been here a few times now and it never disappoints. The vibe is always chill, the food is delicious, and the owner is so down to earth. They have live music with different bands rotating, but the bands are always great! Unlike most of LA, this place is unpretentious, warm and welcoming. Wonderful date spot but also family friendly. Food wise, we got the Doro Wat and Zil Zil tonight (Doro Wat has a little kick to it so beware if you can't do spicy) - both were so good. Music tonight was provided by JD Hall - such a talented band with a great vocal range and lots of energy and spirit. 10/10 will be back here again and we have plans to be a regular!“
“I had my lunch at Betty Market and restaurant . I was really impressed the way the food tasted which was beef tibs seasoned lightly with Ethiopian chili called Berbere and of course with other spices too. Guess what I am Ethiopian myself and been here in US over 20years and never experienced such delicious taste and pretty same taste like mom one . I can’t wait to taste their kitfo which is lean ground beef seasoned with berbere rich in butter.Thanks Betty restaurant for your hospitality and cleanness.“
