Ethiopian Restaurants near Brooklyn, NY

“Amazing flavor and service“

“Bersi is the best cook in town“

“The food was phenomenal, we had the timatim as an appetizer followed by the meat and vegetarian combos. Every bite was packed with so much flavor! The service was great, the atmosphere cozy, and the music was so good; I definitely have some new music to explore. Highly recommend this place :)“

“This restaurant has become my go-to recommendation. I built friendships with the employees, who are terrific and remarkably warm. The chef works with distinctive ingredients to make great food. You can tell they care about food quality. This place deserves every customer it gets.“

“RAAAAAH this place is a Brooklyn best. Flavorful Ethiopian food with a few twists here and there. The Kitfo plate is our go-to entree pretty much every time. We also consistently get the Lentil Sambusas which come with a fiery hot sauce. If you want something more classic, they have two sandwich options. A Lentil based burger or a Lion’s Mane Chicken sandwich. Both are really good and come with fantastically seasoned fries. If you go for brunch they’ve got a handful of awesome breakfast items like an SEC, Breakfast burritos, and even a vegan vanilla ice cream infused French toast which is a MUST. Head to Ras for the vibes. Updated from previous review on 2026-02-05“

“MAKE SURE TO CALL FOR A RESERVATION!!

This place was SOOO delicious!!! We started with the Timatim Fitfit and it was very refreshing to start out with. And for the main course we had the Meat and Vegetarian combination dish and it was so filling. honestly we might have been able to split one serving instead of two 😅

Thank you Haile Cuisine!!! 🩷🩷🩷“

“Mmmmmm, new Ethiopian in the 'hood!

With affordable prices (most dishes in the $20s and combs in the $30s) and plenty of flavor, Awaze will do just nicely in the area while offering slightly newer, more modern digs than its competition.

Over a catch-up lunch, my friends and I munched on the Awaze Veggie Combo for two, which offered loads of string beans, red lentils, collard green, chickpeas, cabbage, split peas and beetroot. We paired that with the Meat Combo for two, which came with doro wot, tibs, yesiga alicha, and two side veggies (we added more cabbage and collard greens).

Fun fact: Their combos for two can easily feed 2-4 people total. So enjoy those savings.

Also, we tacked on kitfo, our favorite Ethiopian meat dish. Don't know if it was because they were feeling generous or if we just won them over with all our gushing, but I feel like we were served an extra big, extra flavorful serving of it. Uncooked cow.....drool!

Some of us washed down our flavorful lunch with their Spiced Tea, which was bursting with cloves and cardamom.

Will definitely be back.“

“Amazing food; I have been to many Ethiopian restaurants all across New York and none of them can compare to Lalibela. The restaurant is very clean and the service was amazing. The owner, who was very friendly came up to me and the other customers and would check in on us and make sure everything was perfect. 10/10 will definitely be back👍👍“
