Merkato is a must-visit restaurant for delicious Ethiopian cuisine in LA. The veggie combo with fried fish is a light and fresh option that won't disappoint, and the traditional coffee ceremony adds a special touch. The atmosphere is relaxing with great music, good coffee, and friendly service that makes guests feel at home. The restaurant has two entrances, one leading to a store where you can buy Ethiopian spices, incense, and food to go. The staff and the owner are remarkable, creating a welcoming environment where you feel like part of the family. The food is amazing, with just the right amount of spice, and portions are large yet so good you won’t want to stop eating. The quality of food and prices are excellent, making it worth the drive no matter the distance. If you want authentic Ethiopian food and top-tier ambiance, Merkato is the place to go.
