About Maheder Ethiopian Cuisine

Maheder Ethiopian Cuisine, formerly known as Chef Cafe, is a popular Ethiopian restaurant known for its delicious food and warm, welcoming atmosphere. Customers have enjoyed dishes like the veggie combo, lamb tibs, kategna, foul, and gomen wot for many years. The foul and gomen wot received particular praise, with some saying they were the best versions they've ever tasted. The restaurant has a family-friendly vibe, with a modest aesthetic and a section with a pool table, making it a great place for celebrations and gatherings.

The staff are known for their kindness and hospitality, often showing genuine care for customers. They are attentive and helpful, especially when helping to choose dishes. Customers appreciate the flavorful tibs Firfir, described as rich with a slow-burn spice, and the well-seasoned tibs paired with tender beef and injera. Vegetarian options like the veggie combo are flavorful, with each vegetable having its own distinct herb and spice character. One note is that the salad comes with jalapeños, which can be spicy for some, so it’s helpful to ask beforehand.

Although Maheder Ethiopian Cuisine has recently moved and its new location is not known, its reputation for excellent food and friendly service continues. Many customers look forward to its reopening to enjoy its beloved dishes once again.
