I'm not super familiar with Ethiopian but I can say everything I tried was delicious and the staff was super nice. Be prepared to get a bit messy as you will be eating your food with your hands but it's so good. I convinced my mom it was like turning every bite into tiny African tacos

Vegetarian platter: ideal for lentil lovers along with a center serving of salad dressed with what seemed to be a balanced vinaigrette. The coffee? Starbucks wishes it could.Vegetarian options: Veggie combo platter, gluten free injera

I got chicken ribs and the chicken was really dry. Not a lot of chicken and vegetables. 90% was injura bread. My husband and son got the saute lamb and got multiple bones in both and lamb was dry and fatty and again 90% was the bread. We learned our lesson from deviating from our original place. Definitely won't be

The vegetable combo is absolutely divine. If you run out of injera they will refill it for you. Delicious ginger tea as well.Vegetarian options: There is a vegetable section on the menu but the best option is the vegetable combo so you get a bit of everything!
Not sure what happened. used to be my favorite Ethioian restaurant. overnight, it has become my least favorite. All lentils were way overcooked, like porridge. Misir wat had no spice. And worst was Doro wat. They had the best Doro wat before. not anymore. The chicken was overcooked, seems like it was cooked outside and dropped into the wat which was just cooked for few minutes, could smell the raw spices instead of the hours long cooked wat. The Doro tibs had no spices and overcooked rubbery mess. How can it go from the best to the worst is my question. Either the chef and management changed or the chef had a terrible day that he decided to take it out on the restauranteurs. I am done with this place. Will visit back again in a year or 2 IF things improve. Normally, used to be packed pretty well on a sunday evening around 7PM. Not a single soul other than our family. Goes to show the issue
One of the best experiences I have had at an Ethiopian restaurant! This is the 3rd time I have booked Ibex for a work celebration. Not a lot of people know about the massive back room that is perfect for a large gathering! The owner gracious and hospitable as always and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. They also provided us with all the AV equipment we needed! The food was fresh and delicious - had a lot staff coming back for seconds. We would absolutely come back again!

This wonderful gem of a restaurant will surprise you. Upon entering you are greeted by rich, earthy incense and a bright, golden-colored interior. It is far roomier than you would ever expect from the outside; in addition to the main dining room there was a much larger back area with a stage. They were easily able to accommodate our party of eight. The traditional food was delicious. Six of us ate family style sharing the chicken, lamb and the beef combos on one large injera covered platter. The flavors were all rich and savory and three combos were more than enough food for six people. Our servers were friendly and attentive and when it came time to pay the bill, they easily split it multiple ways. Check out Cafe Ibex, you'll be glad you did!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free injera available.Vegetarian and vegan dishes available.

Is there a -be rating??? Very disappointed with their portions and taste of the foods. We ordered Tsom be Ye aynetu and Tibs. Both orders came in very small portion. The way they chopped the meat wes very small. Ye Tsome food wasn’t good as well. Will not go there in the future.
