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!“

“Love getting the vegetarian platter from here—the injera is delicious and everything is so flavorful and always consistent. Great pricing and great value. So lucky to have such great Ethiopian restaurant in our neighborhood!

This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion.“

“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👍👍“

“I love New York City so much because the world truly is around you, at least when it comes to food. I was just walking down Ave B when I saw Haile, a small Ethiopian restaurant.

I did some research on the reviews, and it passed the vibe check. Haile is an intimate hole in the wall restaurant, but it was JUMPIN. I was eating alone like a nerd loser so I was really shy walking in.

It’s run by two Ethiopian sisters, Abbey and Selam, who were actually jokes. They are just in here vibin. I started with an Ethiopian Honey wine as wine-making is an important part of Ethiopian tradition and history, and I’ll try anything once. and it tasted exactly how you would think honey wine would taste.

When I told Abbey it was my first time having Ethiopian cuisine and wanted something authentic, she recommended the combination plate with chicken, beef, and 3 vegetarian dishes. She told me to be ready to eat with my hands.

I also got the beef sambusas to start. They are triangular with a pastry shell and filled with beef. GAS!

The combination plate came with injera, which is a type of sourdough flatbread that is a staple in Ethiopian cuisine. I don’t have trypophobia, but this bread lowkey made me think I might. Spooky.

The beef and chicken were phenomenal, but the veggie sides weren’t my favorite thing ever. I know myself and should have just got the meat combination platter, but that’s on me.

All in all, this felt like a home cooked meal, made with soul and love. I’ll be back for that meat combo platter.

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

“Addey Ababa is a delightful, family owned Ethiopian restaurant, and an excellent addition to the Washington Heights culinary community! The atmosphere is warm and comfortable, and the owners are very welcoming. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious: the lamb, veggie combo, tomato salad, and the tiramisu as well! The prices are fair for the quality and portions served. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Abdi has the best juice bar in Harlem and tasty 😋 bites in Cafe The only place I go to and my friends local and international love to visit for the best juice bar in Harleml“

“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 😂“
