Alem Restaurant is a hidden gem that provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere, where the staff greets diners with kindness. The ambiance is inviting, featuring cultural decor and Ethiopian artwork, making it a cozy space for all. The restaurant serves delicious and fresh food, with a beautifully presented injera platter that includes well-spiced lentils, vegetables, and meats. The vegetarian combo platter and the meat & veggie combo are highly recommended for their superb flavor and generous portions. Some dishes can be spicy, adding to the rich flavors of the meal. The injera, a gluten-free Ethiopian flatbread, is made fresh and enhances the flavorful presentation. Alem Restaurant is known for its authentic Ethiopian cuisine and accommodates dietary restrictions, offering a totally gluten-free menu and many vegan options. It is an excellent spot for those who enjoy genuine Ethiopian dishes. Diners frequently mention favorites like the veggie platter, shiro, and hot tea spiced with ginger and cinnamon. The restaurant is recognized as a great date night venue, and many customers appreciate the friendly and attentive service. While there may be some inconsistency with meat dishes, the overall flavor experience is worth it, especially when shared.
