Ethiopian Restaurants in New York, NY

“Best Ethiopian cuisine I’ve had outside of Ethiopia! Service was great, atmosphere was vibrant, live music, open mic, poetry this place has it all!“

“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👍👍“

“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.“

“One feeds two, even if they insist it doesn't, it does. Yeeeet if you order the family style you do get more diversify. Had the meat and vegetables, great! Their lentil samosas were also pretty good. Also I really liked their ethiopian wine, in my opinion it was like a thick wine with an after taste of beer“

“The food was really delicious! Highly recommend the samplers plate for first-timers👅“

“support the bzrrio by supporting the local businesses and not the Stsrbuck types“

“I can't help but smile when I think about eating here again. The interior feels high-class yet comfortable. I brought reinforcements for this meal. Capable workers who gave excellent suggestions and kept my family smiling the entire time. Nice performance! I'll be back!“

“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 😂“
