Shalom Coffee House and Restaurant

Authentic and delicious Ethiopian food! Wonderful service by the sweet owner. 100% recommend! I rarely leave reviews but this restaurant should not be skipped!

The person helping us was so friendly, explained all the dishes, and made us want to become regulars. Plus, the food came out quickly and was delicious. Definitely would come back!!

Highly recommend visiting this restaurant. Absolutely delicious food and extremely friendly service. The atmosphere is cozy and feels like you are at home. The owner is beyond kind and makes you feel very welcome and like family. The food is high quality and delicious, an unexpected gem in Sioux Falls.

We enjoyed the food and coffee quite a bit. If you are a fan of beef tartare and it is the weekend then I recommend Kitfo, it was amazing a healthy portion, I also would recommend it with onion and jalapenos. If you don't like tartare then without a doubt the KariaTibs are the way to go and I would recommend the dry version.

Again, I would completely recommend this restaurant and on top of that I would recommend going out of your way to try it.

We were traveling through and saw the high ratings and thought we’d try a variety of dishes. The small home restaurant is well cared for, the person who cared for us was lovely, caring and blessed our meal and us. The food was fresh and delicious. We chose mild because of one preference but she was very accommodating to offer different spice levels. Truly a delightful and satisfying experience. Not pictured, a piping hot sauce. We had multiple drinks with our meal and the total was $40.

The food was INCREDIBLE, the portions were generous, and the owner was such a kind hostess! The porch space was cool and refreshing on a hot day. Easily the best meal we’ve had so far in Sioux Falls!

I had the absolute best experience at this Ethiopian restaurant today! The food was literally amazing—so good that even after I was full, I still wanted to finish every last bite. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and made incredibly fast.On top of that, the owner is the sweetest, kindest person ever. She’s so polite and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. The customer service is just as great as the food!I 100% recommend everyone to stop by. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re seriously missing out. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Y’all these reviews are no joke. The lady who took our order was the nicest, most kind soul and took such good care of us, even I was surprised. Not only that but the food was straight FIRE. I enjoyed every bite. Seriously, if you want authentic Ethiopian food in a cozy atmosphere - this is the place. 0 regrets going here.

Amazing service. Food was incredible. It might be intimidating for a midwesterner from the outside, but you won’t regret it. Coffee was some of the best I’ve had. Numbers 2 and 4 on the menu were amazing. Would go again!
