Habesha Bar And Restaurant

My partner and I got the Full Habesha Plant-Based Beef Vegan Combo and it blew our minds. There was not a single thing on this platter that did not wow. And even though it is HUGE, we ate the whole thing, because we didn't want to leave any behind. If you get this meal, definitely get the extra injera (which is sooo good). The worker was also extremely kind and knowledgable. It was a treat to be here, and we can't wait to go back!

My partner + I split a veggie combo a couple years ago + we both thought the greens were too bitter + didn’t give ‘em another shot til we got a QR code for a free vegan sandwich (via the Intentionalist). I said “ruh-roh” when I saw the sandwich was full of greens, but we actually liked it! So we went back for the ful, which was a little underwhelming but good enough. The sambusas were the star of the show: greasy on the outside + healthy on the inside + served w/a sauce that sings. I don’t like Beyond Meat, but they get an extra point for having the biggest vegan menu of all the Ethiopian joints in the city.

My friend and I got the Full Habesha Vegan Combo and I seriously haven’t stopped thinking about it. This dish had so much variety in the flavors and textures and combinations. The shiro was my favorite, along with the collard greens/spinach, but everything was phenomenal. The man working was so nice and confirmed which options were vegan, although the menu is meticulously labeled which always puts me at ease. This is a new staple for me!

So many options and the menu was marked for vegetarian or vegan clearly. All dishes were very flavorful.

This place is the worst they do not care about being located in a residential neighborhood. They do not care about their loud obnoxious music. They do not care if it is blasted after 2 AM until four in the morning sometime. They don’t care about the illegal parking that often causes accidents or others to have to turn into oncoming traffic. Parking on sidewalks. It appears as though people almost live at this place as they come pouring out at all times of hours of night/day. Just inconsiderate of others

Parking: They don’t care where you park. They often tell you to park on the street, the sidewalk or wherever you can find parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: If you’re in a wheelchair, good luck because they make sure to block any wheelchair access by a parking their cars in front and on the sidewalks.

The illegal parking of cars by employees and guests results in accidents and obstacles for people with disabilities to move freely. The serving of alcohol after 2:00am results in constant disturbance and noise in the neighborhood.

For my husband and me, Habesha is one of our favorites. We always order the same thing: the large (for two) veggie combo. It's delicious and filling; we bring almost half of it home to heat up the next day. The price is very reasonable. And the proprieter is super-friendly and helpful. There's soft music in the background, not so loud that it inhibits conversation (a pet peeve of mine in so many restaurants these days).

Every time friends of family visit me in the city, I take them here to get a taste of the best food in the city! The owner is very kind and the restaurant has a relaxed, clean atmosphere. You can have a feast with your family or enjoy a quiet place to work.

The staff here was so knowledgeable and kind, they even gave us recommendations on what items to get. They also have a little market inside with lots of spices and some vegan options. I definitely advise coming with a group as they serve a ton of food. I absolutely loved the meal, every one of the dishes were delicious but in different ways, I think my favorite was the spicy lentils.

I love this type of food and make my partner eat it often even though he is not the biggest fan. I'm working hard to convince my family to try it as well. I don't think he loves the communal style dish and that you eat it with your hands, for those that don't know, it's not nearly as messy as you would imagine. It always has vegetarian friendly options and seems like more of an event meal than most places to me. It does seem like a healthier option than a lot of other places as well, we probably all need more beans and veggies in our lives. I heard that they were one of the first places to offer plant based meat and put it on my to do list, knowing that I had to seek this out. I haven't heard of any other places offering this locally. I was so excited to try plant based tibs. I got the Full Habesha Plant Based Beef (Vegan) Combo. It was a little pricey for 28$, but did say it could feed 2, which means some for me for now and some for me for later. We also had our first experience with mitmita, which added the saltiness I often feel my Ethiopian food is missing. I really liked the spinach and collard greens. I do admit I don't love the injera here as much as at some other places. This place is unique in that it also sells a lot of goods. I appreciated the ability to browse while I waited for my food and ended up taking home some dry lentils that I'm hoping will transform into a delicious soup.

We got the full Habesha vegan combo with plant-based beef. Everything was so good but the Shiro and collards were my favorite. We will definitely be back. I'd love to try their vegan ful medames.

The vegan combo for two comes with a huge variety including a Beyond Meat dish. The owners were really friendly and there are tables outside.

The owner is so sweet! And I'm so happy they offer vegan (beyond) tibs! I've always wanted to try tibs.
