I recommend you have a reservation, even at 3:30pm. (We did not but they sat us anyway!) Food was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!! The owner and chef were very kind. So happy we dropped in!!

Absolutely lives up to the name! This is some of the best Ethiopian food in town. With the Delish combo you get a huge range of dishes, each texturally different and distinct. The flavors all work perfectly together, nothing tastes dried out or like it's been sitting around. My friends and I had a hard time picking what our favorite was, they were all so good. The service is friendly and the space is clean, open, and welcoming.

The veggie combo and poultry dish we order were delicious. Not too busy on a Sunday evening. Parking there is mostly street parking.

This was a wonderful find for dinner with friends visiting from out of town. The ambience was great, every table full on a Thursday night but not crowded. Delicious food - we ordered the veggie and veggie beef combo platters which provided a wide variety of dishes to try. Everything was flavorful and well spiced. The injera was delicious. Really looking forward to returning with family and trying new dishes and wine. Lovely experience.

Delish Ethiopian truly lives up to its name! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Yared, our server, went above and beyond—he didn’t just serve us, he made us feel like family. His great sense of humor, thoughtful recommendations, and genuine hospitality made the experience unforgettable.

The food was absolutely outstanding. Each dish was presented beautifully and with robust, distinct flavors. The quality is top-notch, and it’s clear that a lot of care goes into every plate. Whether you’re a seasoned fan of Ethiopian cuisine or trying it for the first time, you’ll find something to love here.

Beyond the incredible food, the entire staff is welcoming and the cozy ambience makes you feel right at home. Delish Ethiopian is a true gem, and we can’t wait to return!

What a wonderful time we had! The food was absolutely delicious. We chose the injera made from teff, which was both tasty and a superfood. It's also suitable for those who are gluten-free. The service and atmosphere were great. I recommend booking a table in advance.

I recently had my very first Ethiopian meal—and Delish Ethiopian Cuisine absolutely amazed me!

From the moment we walked in, the restaurant’s authentic Ethiopian vibe was unmistakable—cozy décor, a communal energy, and a welcoming warmth that made us feel right at home. It felt like a tiny slice of Addis right there on Rainier Avenue.  

We opted for the vegetarian combo, and it was a spectacular introduction to Ethiopian flavors. The variety—everything from stewed lentils to collard greens and perfectly spiced beet and cabbage dishes—was colorful, fragrant, and so satisfying.  

To sip alongside our meal, we tried the honey wine. It was unlike anything I’ve tasted—a subtly sweet, delicate beverage that felt both traditional and totally unique. Delicious through and through.

The staff were an absolute highlight—so friendly, helpful, and gracious. It really elevated the experience, making it feel personal and memorable.  

And a special shout-out to the injera! Its soft, spongy texture and tangy taste reminded me so much of South Indian dosa—comforting, familiar, yet delightfully new. 

In short: Delish Ethiopian Cuisine served me an amazing first encounter with Ethiopian food—rich, authentic dishes; a standout veggie combo; delicious honey wine; and welcoming hospitality in a genuine and charming setting. I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu.

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food, and it was delicious! The portions are generous—enough for 2–3 people if you want to leave full. The space is smaller than I expected, but the atmosphere is warm and the people are friendly.
