Ethiopian Restaurants in Austin, TX

“Deliciously fresh and tasty food!!“

“Go, it is absolutely worth it! Had the lunch buffet. My mouth is thrilled and the dishes sampled are sitting very comfortably in my overly full tummy. My wife has a slightly sensitive stomach and it is all sitting very gently with her, Reminds me of the 60's when friends would throw together a little eatery - all about the food w/ a funky atmosphere. Esters is all about the food w/ the ambiance being comfortable in a keeping Austin weird and very un-pretentious Ethiopian way.

Vegetarian options: On the buffet there is a veggie section and a meat section as pointed out by our lovely waitress.

Parking: Parking appears sufficient for the number of tables It is a small place in an old funky building

Wheelchair accessibility: Single floor. Small ramp at the front door w/ threshold at the door. Slightly bumpy parking lot.“

“The food was amazing - the nicely sour spongy bread, curries and veggie dishes, and especially the traditional coffee.
The service felt like we were guests in their home, so warm and welcoming. The hostess served us coffee and popcorn in the traditional way, which felt like a performance. We sat in special space, immersed in incense and the smoke & smell of freshly roasted coffee, sitting on traditional stools and chatting after the meal. A very memorable experience!

Kid-friendliness: Very welcoming space, interesting things to see, and an Ethiopian mart attached.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking and ramps.“

“My nephew wanted to try Ethiopian food, so we found ourselves here while in Austin. The food was good. It was better than the first time I tried Ethiopian food in Houston. I think the part that you have to get used to is the bread. You use the bread to scoop up your bites of food. The bread itself is different than anything you have had. It kinda reminds me of a savory pancake. Yes, the food was good, but the best part of this experience was our waitress Miriam. She's so cute, and the sweetest person ever! 💗 I could have talked to her all day. Thank you for giving me a big smile Miriam!!“
