The service was fine and the atmosphere excellent. However. the food was more bland than I've had at other Ethiopian resturants and slightly more expensive. We had the vegitarian sampler which was fine but nothing special. Along with that we had a lamb dish and a goat dish. Both were on the bland side, and the goat had small shards of bone.

This food was amazing. The hostess helped us choose an awesome option that worked great with my dietary restriction and the whole experience was great. The injera and vegan platter were amazing - would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you for hosting us!

While we were in Minnesota for our event, we had the absolute pleasure of dining at Erta Ale Ethiopian Restaurant. The owners, Amy and Derje, were the best hosts we could have asked for welcoming us with such warmth and genuine hospitality.

They treated us to a wonderful buffet that was overflowing with authentic Ethiopian flavors. The kitfo, aybe, and gomen were out of this world fresh, perfectly seasoned, and truly unforgettable. Every dish, from the injera...
