“Love their food it’s very deli and amazing quality! The restaurant is so clean and comfortable to sit and enjoy alone or with friends! The waiters are so fast and make sure your order is how you want! The bathroom is spotless clean and there decorating is nicely done. Their cafe is also the best they serve all types of coffee. I love this place!“

“Really delicious Ethiopian food! (We’ve tried many places in DFW and this was by far the tastiest)
The vegetarian combo had 11 different offerings - each unique and savory and complex.
The atmosphere was a bit more karaoke bar than restaurant but who cares when the food is this good.“

“I was coming back from a ride and decided to try this restaurant as it was close to my home and new to me. This was the first time in years that I had had Ethiopian food. I’m telling you it was a great way to return.Their Geba Weta is a great dish. I’m sure all of the others are just as good. I’m going back for one of their lamb dishes, soon.The owners and staff are exceedingly welcoming, the dish I had was great and the atmosphere was inviting. ግሩም“

“I have no idea what these people are talking about with some pretty intense and overblown criticism. I’m not Ethiopian but I’ve been eating this stuff for 12 years now. Regularly. I’ve tried Ethiopian food all over the country and this place deserves its respect. We had the kitfo, beef tibs, and veggie combo dish and I’ll tell you, gooood good. The beef itself melted in your mouth with that buttery marinade. Everything was so good all together. So, please be fair when reviewing this place.“

“Such great food and waitstaff is very accommodating!!! Had a great experience and will be back.“

“Great hospitality and great Ethiopian Coffee“

“So far I've tried their coffee, Frittata, and baklava... recommended 👍“

“Good healthy drinks, but a suggestion...replace lids to a more sealable tamper proof style. To prevent any tampering when ordering from the likes of those delivery apps👍“

“This was my first time ever eating at a store like this. It’s a very small grocery/ kitchen that cooks authentic Ethiopian food. Spices and scent was really strong but the food I tried was really good. They said it was lamb. This dish normally comes on some kind of bread but because I’m gluten free they were able to accommodate me with rice instead. I just thought $17 bucks was a bit much. But lamb is not a cheap piece of meat so I guess I’ll pay that price because I will be back.“

“At late night , I ordered the Meser wot and wanted it spicy, they sent me spicy sauces and also did give me lettuce as a side. The server ( I ordered on DoorDash but the one who picked up the phone was nice and understanding), so thank you Lalibela!!!“

“First time trying Ethiopian food! I have always wanted to try Injera bread and the veggies combo was delicious - my fave was the collar greens, the yellow potatoes, and the cabbage. My husband ordered the other plate and liked the soupy flavor but didn't think it was lamb, it was goat.“
