Ethiopian Diamond Restaurant & Bar on N Broadway in Chicago is a wonderful spot for authentic Ethiopian cuisine. The restaurant has a casual, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The menu features a great variety of stews and traditional dishes, both meat and vegetarian, all served with fresh injera. Portions are generous, and the flavors are rich and satisfying. I also enjoyed that they offer dine-in, takeout, and no-contact delivery, which is convenient. Prices are reasonable at around $20–30 per person. The weekly live music adds a fun touch to the dining experience. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy flavorful Ethiopian food in a relaxed setting.

Going here was my first time trying Ethiopian food and I was blown away by how amazing it was. Everything we had was perfectly flavorful and delicious. The group I was with got a vegetarian sampler and we loved everything we got. Our server was also fantastic. Can't believe I've been missing out on this wonderful food up until now, will definitely come back here again!

Went for lunch with coworkers, we ordered our food to go, but it smelled so good we just had to try a bite before leaving—and ended up eating it all right there! I ordered the veggie sampler, every dish was incredibly flavorful and fresh, with perfectly soft, tangy injera and a delicious mix of lentils, greens, and stews. The staff were so kind and welcoming, and the food was absolutely irresistible.

Food was great, although the injera was too sour for my liking. The Ethiopian coffee was fabulous. My only complaint which knocks off a star for courtesy to guests is not mentioning there was a 20% gratuity that was going to be charged, as well as not mentioning it after the charge either. The 6 of us were discussing 20% calculation for tip and as I was writing out the tip, someone had flipped the receipt over to see that gratuity was already charged. Automatic gratuity for bigger parties is 100% acceptable but every restaurant I have worked in or been to has always communicated that to the guests. Not communicating that felt a bit sketchy and didn’t leave us feeling nice but besides that, the service was great. I just recommend mentioning the automatic charge to tables as some guests might get pretty upset with the lack of communication.
