The server is rude and the place is not as the main Dilla. The food was not properly cooked and some smelled funky

9/3 around 2:30pm, I was going to On’s kitchen! I seen the bar so I stopped by there first. Ordered an adult beverage and the SAMBUSA! The owner stated they were the best in town! Now, I’m all in, I like a good SAMBUSA! This man served me SAMBUSA’S that were re~fried and grease soaked! The shell were clear from being recooked, and the meet was so old and hard! I left the whole plate after I took ONE bits, ripped it open and was applauded that he would serve me something like that! I finished my drink and placed the napkin over the disgusting, grease soaked food and walked out! Worse dinning experience EVER! How shameful! He knew what he did, that’s why he gave me 5 instead of the four, they were all old as hell!

I have past this place many times. Today I stopped for dinner. I was seated immediately. Service was fast. Love the traditional Ethiopian atmosphere and music.
A big thanks to my service provider Tsion was fantastic.
I had the Sambusas for appetizers. I received 5 of them with sauce. Other places only give you three. Very delicious with a a good spicey taste. Then had the Dilla Sandwich with a side of fries. The sandwich was with beef, bell peppers, jalapeños, red onions and a bit of mayo on a sub style bread. It was absolutely delicious.

Hands down worthy of a return visit. They have a nice bar as well. A must visit business.

Came here on a Saturday night as a good neighborhood option for dinner. Pricing is a little higher than other Ethiopian restaurants but the setup is nice.

When we were here their air conditioning did not work and there were big fans all over the place. It was warm but comfortable.

The food was good but our server forgot to bring our injera bread out and we were confused as to how to eat our food without injera bread.

It's an ok place and a good alternative to the food in this neighborhood but if you want better food and service you'll probably want to go somewhere else.

It’s hard to find delicious veggies. But I found them at Dilla. I got the veggie combo plate which includes a little of about 7 different vegetarian dishes, and baklava for dessert. It was possibly the best baklava that I’ve ever had.

The food is absolutely amazing here. Very flavorful and lots of options. I always suggest at least splitting the veggie sampler and then getting a meat dish to accompany. For those of us in the area that miss fasika, you will not be disappointed. Gone 8 times and everything is always great!

Great place to stop in before and after a Minnesota United game. The food was great and out sever had some really good suggestions to help navigate the menu. Owner stopped by the table too and seemed very engaged.
