Jebena is a top tier restaurant. Was lucky enough to find this gem on a cold winter day. Beef tibs were great. All the lentils were very flavourful. I like their injera bread. The food was great. The dining room is cozy. And the service from the staff was friendly and informative. Highly recommend this place!

I've wanted to try ethiopian food for years and my great aunt brought my family for my mom's birthday. The food was DELICIOUS and was served by the sweetest woman. I will be bringing all my friends to experience this wonderful restaurant!

Very good Ethiopian food and super friendly & prompt service. We split two samosa's ($3 each) and the Jebena combination ($27.50, pictured), which has both meat and the veggie sides. Everything was great!
