Ethiopian Restaurants near Richardson, TX

“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“

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

“The food is delicious and the service is excellent. Loved it.“

“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.“

“Delicious vegan food and friendly staff! Will definitely return for more. The atmosphere was lovely as well.“

“The best authentic Ethiopian food in the DFW area. Great food great customer service. It has been serving the community for over20 years. Go check it out. You will not be disappointed.“

“Real deal, delicious Ethiopian food in an authentic environment. We got the veggie combo plate and could not have been happier. Would recommend to anyone coming to Dallas and looking for good Ethiopian food. Couldn't have had a better experience, and the woman cooking and running the place was so nice!“

“I came from out of town. I called and ordered kitfo on the phone. I went and pick it up myself. They gave me wrong order. I know i should have opened and check before i left. I regrert i didn't. I ended up eating tibis. I am unhappy about it. Plz make sure u guys to check ur order before u leave the restaurant.“

“Good people good food. Enjoyed it.“

“The most authentic tasting Habesha food and great atmosphere.“

“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!“

“This place is legit a gem. The food is ridiculously delicious. With my favorite Ethiopian spot shutting down last year, I’m so glad I found this place. This is definitely the best Ethiopian spot in Dallas that’s open. One of the best spots for African food. It’s a small mart with only a few tables!

I had the beyaynetu (vegetarian platter) and beef tibbs. The beef tibbs was so flavorful and tasty. The broth/liquid it sits in is amazing. Dipping injera in that was so good. The vegetarian platter was incredible. The different lentils and peas are cooked to perfection with delicious spice.

I also had shiro! It’s not on their display menu but they’ll make it for you. It’s a chickpea stew and great to dip injera in! The Ethiopian coffee was also really good.

Very friendly staff and service. During my meal, different staff members came up to me at different times individually to see how everything was going. I really appreciated that.

Please try this place if you haven’t! It’s proof that Ethiopian cuisine is one of the best cuisines you can experience. I will 100% be returning for a second visit.“

“Overall, amazing food and service. It was my first time here, walked in based on the reviews and it was close to where I was working today. It is a rough part of town so be cautious. A woman greeted me when I entered and did clarify the meat is halal. I ordered beef and 2 added sides of red lentils and cabbage. It ended up being $15 for the beef plus $6 for the 2 sides. Took about 20 minutes to prepare but it was worth it because she made it fresh. Food came out of steaming hot and it was delicious!! There is a small seating area to the side. Will definitely be back. I also saw some packed Ethiopian food in the fridge in to go containers.“

“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👍“

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“Great hospitality and great Ethiopian Coffee“

“Mercato Ethiopian Grocery and Café is truly a gem in Murphy! The service is warm, welcoming, and attentive, making every visit a great experience. The food is absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and authentic. From start to finish, everything about this place feels excellent, from the atmosphere to the quality of both the grocery and café sides.

If you’re looking for authentic Ethiopian cuisine and wonderful service, I highly recommend Mercato. It’s a place you’ll want to come back to again and again!“

“Nice place, nice food.??“

“We were interested in vegetables, had no experience with Ethiopian, and Daniel helped us and brought us a plate with all we needed and it was so delicious, and we are going back tonight and take more family! Friendly, helpful and delicious!“
