Quaint spot & family owned. Very flavorful food & great service too! Highly recommend!
Amazing experience! My first Ethiopian food, so I can’t compare, but I’d hypothesize, based on the diners around me happy to share their stories of how great BenNYAm and his family are and how often they come, that THIS meal sets the standard for good, authentic Ethiopian eats. Delicious. Great atmosphere. Laugh with them if they give you a hard time about asking for utensils 😂
This place was amazing for lunch. The staff was very accommodating and food was off the charts. Will definitely come back here when im in Nyc again

Benyam is a family-owned Ethiopian restaurant that offers an excellent dining experience. The atmosphere is relaxed and chill, with friendly staff and great music. The food is fresh, light, and perfectly seasoned, with tender meats and outstanding vegetables. The menu features a meat sampler and lamb dishes, and be sure to try the honey wine (Tej). The service is attentive, with waiters explaining dishes and bringing injira bread before asked. The owners are wonderful, warm, and kind, and take pride in their offerings, delivering top-tier, authentic, and delicious food that is always healthy. Guests find the menu easy to navigate, and the Mesir Wot with Collard Greens and String Beans is a standout dish. Large groups enjoy the super flexible and accommodating service, and the generous vegetable platter for two is a favorite. The warm and welcoming vibe makes Benyam a great place for dates, family gatherings, and birthday parties. With its cozy, small, and quaint setting, it's a neighborhood gem that visitors highly recommend for experiencing delicious Ethiopian cuisine.
