NEW MENU as of 2/12/22 and let me be the first to tell you how DELICIOUS it is!!! They’ve taken Azla nom noms to the next level! All the Ethiopian yumminess we’ve come to know (with lots of new flavors too) with some perfect tortillas. You can order tacos or burritos (plus tortilla-less bowls!). We tried every taco (there are 6) and I can’t wait to have them all again! Favoritos were the Soy Africano (spicy soy), dembiya (jackfruit) and El Saturn (mushrooms). We also tried the horchata, sorrel and lemonade and they were refreshing and good for the soul!Beyond the food and drinks, there’s just this vibe about Azla that you wanna feel again and again. They had beautiful flowers for sale. The music is dope. The folks that work there are sooo warm and sweet.AND, the best part of this whole Ethiopian/Mexican fusion food is that there’s HISTORY there. The good folks at Azla have taken the time to dig up archival documentation of when when Emperor Haile Selassie became the first African head of state to pay an official visit to Mexico in 1954. When Italy invaded Ethiopia in the 30’s, Mexico was one of few countries to condemn the occupation and as a result, Ethiopia was able to keep its seat in the League of Nations. Since then, the nations pay homage to each other by naming train stations and plazas after each other.Isn’t that the best??So that’s it. If you want incredible food, a wonderful vibe and you enjoy becoming smarter, you MUST check out Azla and their new menu. You will be a better human because of it!

Amazing food and amazing customer service. I’m excited to have vegan breakfast options to go to in my area.

I love Ethiopian food, but this was not good. The food was cold, the cabbage was raw, they were stingy with the bread and they forgot my brownie. They definitely didn't deserve my business let alone my tip. I'll continue to give business to another Ethiopian restaurant in the area.

Love this place. My husband and I get the "feast for one" pretty regularly, which is a sampling of all 5 main dishes (and a taste of each of the salads) and it's enough food for two meals for both of us (so 4 meals total). It's great that it's completely vegan, and every dish is flavorful and tasty. Sometimes the cabbage one is almost all potatoes and not much cabbage, but it's tasty either way. One thing to keep in mind, the feast for one comes with only a small amount of injera in comparison to the amount of food, so we usually go to an Ethiopian market to buy a pack of injera. You could also order more injera with it if you don't want to make another trip (and the injera at Azla is super tasty with a perfect texture and slight sourness). We will keep coming back here for sure!

Although the food is good, I was very upset at how much injera they gave. The food portions are great, but they should definitely give at least half a slice of injera when purchasing a $17 - $25 meal.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! I ordered from Ubereats. Everything was hot, beautifully packaged and beyond delicious! Can't wait to go back.

MY FAVORITE PLACE FOR ETHIOPIAN!!!!! I got "the feast" and it was a FEAST. Lasted me two meals but easily could have lasted me three meals if I didn't over-eat both times, it just tasted so good could not stop :) I am not a professional by any means but the injera is the best I have had and each dish is packed with so much flavor. Whenever I get asked "where should we eat?" I always say Azla now.

Ethiopian food is from heaven. Customer service is superb just as is the food. Bless!

Good but not great. Probably better if I could sit down and eat it there.

I feel like whoever is giving a review less than 4 stars hasn’t actually been here or is a bot, because this place is fire ???. I’m a vegan who also happens to love Ethiopian food, and the transition from the omnivore’s Ethiopian experience to a fully vegan one was nothing short of perfection ??. I ordered The Feast and it took me back to my days at Merkato. Except now, I’d choose Azla over Merkato. So good. Food is done in moments without skimping on quality. Getchu some. Today.

Every dish was full of flavor!! Especially tastes good with their injera (which adds a sour flavor to the background), yummy.
