Walia Ethiopian Cuisine is a small, comfortable restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Despite being located in a somewhat sketchy area, the food is a highlight, offering flavorful and tasty dishes. The menu is easy to read, clearly marking vegan options and indicating how many people each dish serves. The veggie sampler, which includes Ingudai Tibs (sautéed mushrooms), spiced chickpeas, red lentils, split peas, collard greens, and cabbage, is very popular. The Kitfo, served in different levels of doneness, is also a favorite among those who enjoy more adventurous flavors. Customers praise the rich and authentic Ethiopian dishes like doro wat, chicken tibs, and the vegetarian options, all perfectly spiced and satisfying. The Ethiopian feast, which comes with six curries of choice and injera, is noted for its super flavorful dishes. Scooping up these flavorful foods with their fresh injera brings joy to diners. The service is quick and attentive, though sometimes a bit slow due to limited staff. Self-seating and fast food delivery make it convenient. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, making it a great choice for a delicious meal. The owners are friendly and always check on customers, adding to the welcoming experience.
