Very delicious food. Great variety of dishes. I've been to a couple of Ethiopian restaurants, but they had even more dishes available here than I've seen before. Friendly staff.

It is an ethiopian restaurant which is quite small. Since we are vegetarians, we ordered two dishes here: 1. Combination of all of veg dishes above $17.50 2. Foule: Hearty chili like broad beans, smashed and spiced, then garnished with fresh diced tomatoes, green pepper and onions. $15.50 The first item came with several vegetarian side dishes and ethiopian bread. This tasted some thing like south indian Dosa. But it was quite sour in taste. Overall food looked average for us. Ambience is also very average.

The interior design here is lovely and the people working here are nice and friendly. This is an Ethiopian-run cafe that has a good atmosphere. I had hot chocolate which was very good!

This place had some great food and great vibes... except that despite us verbally confirming that all the vegetarian dishes were vegan with our server, there was a dollop of sour cream on our platter.

Food was delicious. Great latte. I got to watch the tv and learn about Jimmy Buffets wife suing someone for misuse of the estate.

I ate here in 2023 on vacay and had to come back to Philadelphia just to eat here a few months ago. Honestly, eating here is THE reason I flew back to Philly. Vegetable combo and the salad are the best. Will be back as often as I have time to fly back out. Thank you Almaz.

The owner's energy was immaculant from the start. The Ethiopian brother showed nothing but love, especially for my Sierra Leone friend from D.C. who was leaving Philly to go back home. He made it his duty to show us nothing but great hospitality and of course the food smacked! Portions was everything for me!

Great little place to get really good Ethiopian food in the city. We had the restaurant to ourselves and enjoyed everything we ordered. Only complaint is they put one of the chicken dishes on the player with the vegetarian sampler and my wife is vegetarian.
Had the goat dish and mango smoothie. 10/10. I really enjoyed this place.

Not what we were expecting from an Ethiopian restaurant. Food is mediocre in flavor. We got takeout and the packaging and packing is questionable. Their pricing is out of this world for what they offer. Customer Service is also 2/10 for me.

Almaz Cafe has been my favorite restaurant in Philly for a long time. Solomon and Almaz are always so sweet and welcoming, and I try my best to bring friends by when I can. Today I brought my 6 year old nephew in and after a while we had him munching down! After never seeing Ethiopian cuisine in person before. The coffees are also amazing and the ice cream is absolutely delicious. I need to get a smoothie here because I KNOW they’re great, I usually just am always eating the savory food and hardly have room for even ice cream. I hope it stays here forever! West Philly Ethiopian spots have nothing on Cafe Almaz!
