Amazing food! We had the vegetarian sampler and some sambusas. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The injera was perfect.

Super friendly and helpful service!

Fabulous Ethiopian music playing with other patrons occasionally singing along.

We enjoyed a glass of the homemade honey wine which was delicious. Next we split sambusas which were flavorful and crispy. I had the beef awaze tibs which was delicious. Our friends split the mahberawi and enjoyed it very much. I believe it was the sweet owner who was doing everything when we were there- waiting tables and cooking apparently. The food was worth the wait!

Very good misto, loads of bread and flavorful tender meat. Well managed and great service.

Amazing food! I loved all the distinctive and delicious flavors in the veggie combo and my friend got a fish dish that was mouthwateringly good. I don't normally like fish, but I was ready to steal his plate!! Service was perfect- welcoming, kind, and had everything we needed. The atmosphere is beautiful and laid back. It was clearly a local hangout, but we felt comfortable immediately and enjoyed our time immensely! I love Ethiopian food and this is absolutely my new favorite!!

This spot is 🔥. The food at Ibex is straight-up authentic Ethiopian — rich flavor, fresh, and made with love. You can taste the tradition in every bite. The customer service was top-tier too — super welcoming and respectful. If you’re looking for real Ethiopian food in the city, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back.

Amazing! 5 stars is not high enough! I've had excellent Ethiopian food overseas and this was as good or better! Service was quick and friendly, food was delicious and spicy in exactly the right way! Nothing compares to good injera! Would definitely recommend even to anyone wanting to try Ethiopian cuisine, don't hesitate!

Found this little spot while I was in town. The staff is friendly and the food was tasty and well presented. I ordered the Doro Wot. It was packed with flavor and just enough spice to enhance the dish, but not so much as to make it painful to eat. The sauce was a beautiful slightly sweet tomato based sauce packed with unique spices and flavor that danced on the tongue. Floating in the dish came one chicken drumstick with meat that fell off the bone and a hard boiled egg. The perfect amount to both fill me up and have a little leftover for tomorrow’s lunch. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone interested in exploring Ethiopian cuisine in the area.
