I used to come here on a regular basis when I lived in Seattle, before the name change when it was called Chef Cafe. I still dream of their gomen— it’s perfectly garlicky and so flavorful. It was a family owned business and the main chef, whose name I don’t recall, used to be a private chef for imperials in Ethiopia. This family was always welcoming, kind, and warm. I pray this restaurant is still under the same ownership using the same recipes!
I usually go for veggie combos so apologies, can’t speak much to the meat dishes. By no means is this a fancy place, but it has everything you’d need! If you like places that feel homey, this hits those vibes on the head. The server/host was friendly and quick, and she advised we go for the Shiro Wot.
The Shiro Wot is soooo good. I haven’t had this dish before in typical Ethiopian veggie combos so we ordered this on the side and it was the highlight!

Welcomed us and let us eat even though we were the only ones in the restaurant. Best Ethiopian food I’ve ever had.
Based on six reviews, Vision Ethiopian Cuisine offers delicious, fresh, authentic food with a welcoming and warm atmosphere. The restaurant is family-owned and feels homey, with a truly authentic feel that reminds some diners of eating in a cafe in Africa. The service is fantastic, with friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive staff who are very sweet and helpful when going over the menu. Specific meals mentioned include the gomen, which is perfectly garlicky and so flavorful, and the Shiro Wot, which is soooo good and was the highlight of the meal. Diners also enjoyed a spinach and beef dish, a spicier red spice dish, the Veggie Combo, and Ethiopian coffee. Portions are generous, and the food is quick to be prepared. The atmosphere includes a welcoming scent of frankincense and a section with a pool table. The restaurant is aesthetically unassuming but serves as a gathering place for the local community, with staff even bringing cake to diners from their own family celebration. Diners note that the salad comes with jalapeños, which may be important for those who cannot eat very spicy food.
