I’ve always liked Ethiopian food because eating with injera is just fun. But before Ambo I never craved it! I just want to go back and try everything on the menu. It’s so good. I had doro wat, kale, and beets. The meat is fall off the bone tender, and my husband even liked the kale (he hates kale).

It's a small place, with some communal tables. But the food is so good I'd go back once a week if I could. Half the menu is vegan, but everyone would be satisfied there.

Long wait for the food but it was all so delicious, and generous portions. Very nice server. Limited seating but enough for everyone who came in.
5* for any restaurant in Bellingham that seasons their food properly. Food and portion sizes were solid. I would have loved an affordable option to try all of the sides bc the plate felt like it lacked variety.

Tried Ambo for the first time and couldn’t believe what I had been missing! Half the menu is vegan and the portions are massive if you get your own plate. Also, super reasonable pricing as you can easily make 2 meals out of it. I was able to try all 3 kinds of lentils plus one side. I had the potatoes/carrots for me side but have heard the kale is delicious. I’ll definitely be back!

Tried visiting when they were closed for a summer break and was pleasantly surprised to find them open on Labor Day. Added to my surprise with the excellent quality of food! Didn’t expect to find a solid Ethiopian option in Bellingham. The portion was huge and the friendly staff let the three vegan options split on one plate. Could definitely split this for two - and it would be a steal of a deal for a dinner out! Will 100% return

Amazing food, amazing service, all around amazing!!! Highly suggest
Amazing. If you're in the mood for Ethiopian food, or just wholesome, delicious, and authentic food, this is the restaurant you want. Food arrives quickly and is full of flavor. We got the family style with all food dishes on a single platter, atop injera bread. I didn't overeat yet I was full and nourished for the rest of the day. I highly recommend this place! It's one of the few restaurants you can go to for real, wholesome food that also tastes delicious.

I never thought it's so good. I haven't try African foods before. Today's visit totally changed me. In my opinion, beef is the best choice. Will try others later.

Unfortunately, we drove up there from Skagit County just to find that they were closed for pretty much the whole summer. Their website or FB page did not say they were going to be closed. I was very disappointed since I was looking forward to trying them out and buying some stuff from their store. I will wait until August, and next time, I will call first.
