I have mixed feelings about this place...on one hand, the food was solid and the price was relatively cheaper compared to other options nearby. However, the service was a bit slow, and my stomach doesn't feel well afterwards, which could be something I ate there.

Still, the sambusa was solid, and the injera was not too sour, if that's what you prefer.

Real Ethiopian cuisine at a good price. Clean, easy, and modest ambiance.

This is my go to takeout restaurant, and it perfectly delivers every single time. The amount of food I get in the combo meal is unreal, it lasts me for four meals. On top of that, it is so delicious!! I practically inhale it. The injera is wonderfully sour and balances out the vegetables, lentils, and meat so well. I’m obsessed!

The food was good but the portion was so small. I ate a 2 people portion of combo on my own. The lamb dish that I ordered had maybe 5 morels of lamb and the rest are bread as fillers.

Here they don't look at Delivery. They told me the order would be ready in 5 minutes. I waited 20 minutes and the order still wasn't there. Then I refused and left.

Friendly staff and great Ethiopian food. Service was a bit slow. Best part of the food was the Injera.

Ethiopian Cafe has great food at a good price, but the service (at least during my visit) was very inattentive. The other Ethiopian restaurant a couple doors down (Blue Nile) is substantially more expensive but had much better service. So if you are on a date, go to Blue Nile, but if you want the same quality food at a much better price, go to Ethiopian Cafe.

I have nothing but praise for this restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious, the prices are good, and the location is adorable. I've gone to sit many times, and I love eating at the restaurant. Takeout is always fast, and they give you large portions for one dish. I'll keep going here for as long as I can!

Food here is amazing. It's a whole experience as you eat the food without utensils. Really loved the lamb. The kitfo is good but spicy. We got the meat combo for 2 and asked to pay extra for the lamb, which they accomodated for. It was a good amount of food and we had a few leftovers despite not getting appetizers.
Definitely recommend and would go again

I liked this place previously, but it looks like they started giving smaller portions. The meat dishes have 80% sauce, 20% little pieces of meat.
The service was also very bad- slow and careless.
