Was an absolute gift of The Lord to be led to Ethioeritrea Restaurant! I was met with Incredible and Excelsior hospitality from the family ran business, and the phenomenally Inclusive menu was perfect for someone with Celiac Disease and struggles with being welcomed. Even though I entered, presuming I would be dining alone, we were all in Thanksgiving to the obvious...The Lord was with us. We discussed our community, got to know eachother, and shared in spreading hope! I was even taught a beautiful prayer! The meal was amazing, and even I graciously thanked the chefs for creating their dishes with love. I left full: A heart that was overflowing and a happy stomach. I invite lovely neighbors in sharing the blessing of experiencing The Ethioeritrea Restaurant. Lead with Love and you'll find what your heart longs for. Forever grateful, reciprocating the abundance of grace and prayers of peace and prosperity. Thank you Jesus Christ for the wonderful introduction!
Vegetarian options: See menu for the extensive vegetarian options!
Dietary restrictions: Great menu for individuals with gluten free diets or dietary restrictions. You'll be invited to share in coffee, and because of that, attending for Lunch is also wise to enjoy all of the experience available (if you are sensitive to caffeine).
Parking: There are parking signs on the street, but I chose the free parking in the gravel parking lot before the restaurant that did not have posted restrictions. Praise God, because you may end up spending more than two hours there anyway!
Kid-friendliness: This is one of the friendliest and safest establishments I've ever been to in Syracuse. I was blessed with dinner guests! Somewhere to gather with friends and to make some also!

Simply excellent food. Generous portions. Casual comfortable atmosphere. Maybe the best Doro Wot I've had. Serious flavor and quite the kick! Building exterior doesn't look like much, but don't judge by its cover.

I stopped here on my way to Buffalo 5 years ago and have made every excuse I can to eat here since. Absolutely delicious food, awesome vegan options, and great value. Some of the best Ethiopian/Eritrean food I've ever had! And served by wonderfully warma nd welcoming people!

Don’t let the exterior fool you - this is a super charming mom and pop restaurant! The owners and their family are absolutely darling, and make sure everyone feels welcome. The food on whole is excellent (and reasonably priced too): the avocado salad was perfectly ripe and fresh, the beef tibs was exceptionally tender and packed full of umami flavor, and the injeera was more tart and springy than any injeera I’ve had before. The (extensive list of) vegan options were also good, although I thought they would have benefitted from more spices and seasonings all around.

If you come to Syracuse, if you live in Syracuse, if you even think of Syracuse, you need to come here. It earned its place on the best 50 restaurants in the world (CNN, check it out).
The food is hot, fresh, and beyond delicious. I'm lazy and don't review much, but I'm actually reviewing this at the table while I'm eating. That's how good this is. The prices are incredible (~$25 for two people vegan share plate), the portions are generous enough that two very hungry people are leaving completely stuffed, and the atmosphere is super homey.
The service isn't very fast, but this is due to the small number of people staffing. At the time of this review, there was one woman working front and back of house. This is not a drawback; it's a small restaurant and it's nice to have some time between appetizer and supper. The owner/server/chef was incredibly kind and sweet, and checked in on us frequently. I don't know how she does it all so well, but I'm glad she does, it really makes this place feel so warm! ❤️❤️❤️
Seriously: if there's one new restaurant you try this week, this month, this year, or even this decade, make it this one. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for an amazing meal, and I look forward to many more!

My wife and i have had Ethiopian food all over the continent. The food we had at Ethioeritrea was as good as the best we’ve had anywhere.
The proprietor was also our server, an absolutely lovely woman who to care of our every need.
Service was quick, the food was excellent, portion sizes were great.
Vegetarian options: We ordered the shared vegan platter, you can order any of the things on the platter as a main.
Dietary restrictions: We’re vegetarian, save there were plenty of choices
Parking: We parked on a Sunday evening. Plenty of spaces, and there was no fee, due to time of day Ava day of week
Kid-friendliness: I was struck but hope kid-friendly the restaurant was. One couples toddler was happily playing, and the staff were friendly and accommodating.
Wheelchair accessibility: A wheelchair door be able able to navigate the threshold.

We had a pleasant dining experience early on a Sunday evening. A large, multi-table party arrived as we were leaving. They all sounded excited to dine at Ethioeritrea again.
I also would dine here again. Next time I would choose a "shared platter" item rather than 3 individual orders so as to have more variety.
Parking: Free parking on the street after 6pm
Wheelchair accessibility: 4 inch lip to get into the building. Restroom not accessible
