Ethiopian Restaurants near Brooklyn, NY

“Amazing flavor and service“

“Bersi is the best cook in town“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“I can’t rave enough about my experience at Ras. I had great service and probably the best meal during my visit to NYC. I came for lunch on a weekday and the whole menu, including brunch, was available. Since they are 100% vegan, it also meant that I could order anything and everything. Can there be too many choices? Everything looked great, but my waiter convinced me to get the chef’s special kitfo. There was also a nice selection of NA mixed drinks, and I ordered the Crown Heights queen—watermelon, ginger beer, mint and lime. I loved every sip and every bite of my meal. The chef’s special was packed with flavor and different textures. Each bite felt unique from the last. Kitfo is typically a ground beef, and their version is made from soy. That alone had such incredible flavor like it had been nicely browned to build out the complexity of the dish. The drink was equally good. I could have started on a second meal immediately after finishing my lunch. Not because I was hungry, simply because the food blew my mind. Updated from previous review on 2026-04-17“

“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!!! 🩷🩷🩷“

“I had an amazing meal here. The food is spectacular, the doro was is flavorful and delicious, and the portions are generous. The service is fast and very friendly. The vibes inside were also great. Good, warm lighting, music that is enjoyable but still quiet enough to have an intimate conversation. This is a great addition to the neighborhood's dining scene. Apparently they also have coffee in the mornings, so I need to try that too!“

“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👍👍“
