Flavorful and abundant food, with a nice presentation. The owner, who was also our server, was a delight.

The food service and ambiance are all incredible. It has great vegetarian food (I usually go for the vegetarian combo plate). Occasionally I'll do the beef combo plate which is equally as delicious. Beyond the food being delicious, the owner's sassy mouth is always a breath of fresh air that keeps me on my toes. Bete Lukas Ethiopian food is a great place to spice up date night or come with a large group of friends first a birthday.

I have been to all the Ethiopian restaurants in Portland. I used to life, in San Francisco, near one of the best in the city. Nothing comes close to Bete Lukas. The food always tastes fresh, the second floor adds a separation from the everyday traffic, and the owners are helpful, funny, kind, and I formative. Plus, they have a really delicious African amber on tap.

Food was delicious. It was the first time we took our kids out to Ethiopian food and they loved it.

Update: my now WIFE and I still go here all the time! Just as delicious as it was seven years ago. Still one of our favorite spots. Peter, the owner is sweet and will joke around with you if you ever come in.My girlfriend and I are regulars here. It's our favorite restraunt in Portland by far. The veggie combo and beef tibs are the best we've ever had. I can not recommends eating here enough.

Had a great time here with my wife. The owner is warm and friendly and made the whole experience. Split the vegetarian and beef combo with a chicken wot and was too much but we finished it out of respect for the chef. It was all very good but the white neon light on the ceiling was a bit cold for my taste.
This is more than just delicious food, it is a lovely meal with delightful hosts. The focus is flavor and achieving it with perfect balance of spice. Thank you for the suggestions, the outstanding food, and making us feel welcome.

Best Ethiopian food in PDX. Also gluten free. Only a dozen tables so often sells out fast. Outstanding.

Food was so so so so so good. Amazing service, the waiter was so fun. Perfect place for those new or familiar with Ethiopian food to really taste the distinct flavors in a dish. Clearly a lot of talented chefs and lots of love in the food.Vegetarian options: The Vegetarian Mixer is sublime
