Elilta Restaurant

When I first walked in, I was little surprised this place is so highly rated. It's sorta a slightly mom and pop type setup.

After chowing down though, I understood the rating. Definitely some of the better Ethiopian I've had in the area, and I've tried a few places. Reasonably priced and good portions.

This restaurant had amazing service and incredibly delicious food. It changed how I view food. 1000% recommended to anyone looking for a place to eat, it blew my mind.

First time trying Ethiopian food last week. The Doro Wat (as a PG native would say) torch. Like it was amazing. I had to come back for the Key Wat. Food is so good and hey give you a lot for 15.99. That’s a steal. The environment makes you feel like you’re actually in Ethiopia, it truly shows the true authentic culture. Customer service is just as amazing.

People need to stop reviewing it as an Ethiopian restaurant. It’s Eritrean owned, and injera is eritrean food not just ethiopian

Great service and amazing food.

Best food, service and welcoming place

The owner is such a nice lady! I had to hop on an emergency meeting for my job, and she let me come in, use her WiFi, and stay for over an hour without ordering. After my meeting, I ordered fasting firfir, and it was an amazing Ethiopian delicacy for lunch. I also loved the coffee setup—such a nice spot!

This was my first experience with Ethiopian food and I was so pleased! It’s a small, casual, cozy space with several tables. Went with a group of 4 around 7pm on a weeknight and there was 1 table left for us, no wait. The owner is a very kind woman who makes great food! Pictured here is the 6 Veggie Combo. We also ordered the Derek Tibs platter and lentil samosas- everything was delicious and packed with flavor. I want to go back and try their coffee during the daytime!
