“I’m in the neighborhood with all of the best PDX Ethiopian restaurants and Aberus is what I crave every time. I order the beef combo and veggie combo number 2 for take out and it is 4 to six meals. Amazing food and made with love.“

“The vegetarian platter at Bole is one of my go-to to-go orders. Every dish is so good and usually lasts me two meals.“

“The inside is so cool and colorful and I love the music they were playing. My partner and I got the combo which was great because we could try multiple dishes. I really like the cabbage dish and the beef dish. Thank you! We will be back for sure.“

“Meskel’s Ethiopian food is so delicious! All of Martha’s offerings are beautifully spiced with generous portions and ample tangy injera to enjoy each bite with. If it were possible, our family would order every day, but Sundays and Mondays are special.“

“Very authentic Ethiopian food which we greatly enjoyed. The restaurant is on the second floor of a building which does not look very inviting but once inside, the restaurant looks nice. We were picking up take-out this time and the order was nicely packed up and the service was friendly.“

“I had an amazing experience at Ashu Ethiopian Restaurant in Portland! The food is absolutely incredible, authentic Ethiopian traditional dishes prepared in a way I haven’t seen anywhere else in North America. Every bite felt genuine and full of flavor.

What really stood out was the hospitality. Ashu, the owner, paid close attention to my requests and made sure I was well taken care of throughout the entire visit.

This place is truly a gem in the Portland area, contributing to the diversity of the state. If you’re looking for real Ethiopian cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere, don’t miss it, you won’t regret it!“

“Lalibela server the best Ethiopian Cuisine with excellent service.“

“I have been eating here for over 15 years and the food is incredible. Although I don't live in Portland anymore, whenever I do come to visit dining here is always on my list of things to do while I'm in town. Lovely family owned restaurant with consistently delicious food.“

“This is a great restaurant. It is very clean and welcoming. The staff was so sweet and the food was delicious. I really appreciate how hospitable they were inviting me into their culture. The portion size is good, the ingredients are of the best quality, and price was very reasonable. I will definitely return for another meal.“

“The owner Yemaneh has been so accommodating. I buy stuff from here to take to my family in California and he has been so accommodating with this and I’m very appreciative. Thanks Yemaneh and team! FYI, this place can be super busy on days they have fresh beef, go as early as you can or you’d be waiting in line for quite a while. This place has decent collection of Ethiopian spices as well as injera that’s gluten free(as I’m told). However, if you have gluten sensitivity, make sure to mention this to them before purchasing as they might have both kinds and you don’t wanna walk out with the wrong one. Happy shopping:-)“
