Top spot for food and nightlife in West Philadelphia! Very grateful for the late night menu and happy hour, as it’s super difficult to have an amazing meal at night in the city. Special shoutout to the performers and DJs that keep the atmosphere lively at Dahlak.

Absolutely the worst Ethiopian/ Eritrean food I’ve ever had. It was to say but a lot of these Ethiopian/Eritrean restaurants just serve people anything because most westerners don’t know the difference. I will never go back

I’ve tried to order from here via delivery apps three times. The first time they just told me it was an issue with Uber eats. The next two times, no explanation, just order canceled as the driver got there. They should not let themselves be on these apps if they do not accept orders from them. Don’t bother trying to order online.

We stopped by when the place was packed, which we completely understood. We placed and paid for our order, then waited patiently. About 30 minutes in, we checked with the employee at the bar, who told us our food was still being “made.” That sounded reasonable given how busy it was, so we continued to wait.
An hour after placing our order, a different server came over and told us they couldn’t find our ticket—so our order hadn’t even been started. To make matters worse, we were then told they couldn’t make the food we originally ordered because they had run out of ingredients.
We were issued a refund without any problem, which we appreciated. However, the whole experience left us feeling very confused and disappointed. We weren’t expecting a big apology, but at the very least, someone could have acknowledged that the kitchen lost our order and that they had run out of items. A little communication would’ve gone a long way

I met my sweetheart here for a first date. He was recently moved to the Philadelphia area and mentioned in his profile that he hoped to try an Ethiopian restaurant. I suggested Dahlak, which I had been going to for about 40 years, although not recently. The food was still decent, the service and atmosphere mediocre. But I'm giving it five stars because the date was great. He brought me some of his homemade red lentil stew, frozen and carefully wrapped in an Amazon padded envelope that included a bottle of frozen water. We both wanted to see each other again.

I absolutely love the opportunities this venue provides for artists to perform and present their art to the community! However, the food is a major disappointment. I ordered wings and fries, and the fries were so hard I couldn't eat them. The wings came on a weird paper plate with only five wings, decorated in a funny way. I wish I had taken a photo! So, yeah, the food is a definite NO GO!
