This was my first time trying Ethiopian food, and everything was absolutely amazing! The flavors were so delicate, rich, and unique. Definitely a spot worth checking out you won’t be disappointed!

Really tasty Ethiopian food. Very relaxed atmosphere and a simple menu with all the staples of Ethiopian cuisine . We had the Doro Wat ( chicken in red sauce ) and cabbage and carrots ( Alitcha) and split peas in red sauce.

My wife and I had our first experience with Ethiopian cuisine at Alem, and it was extremely impressive and delicious. The sambusas, veggie combo with smaller portions of 4 different vegetarian dishes, doro tibs and juicy spicy beef tibs were all out of this world and were served with delicious injera bread. I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough, it was truly excellent with very friendly service.
