Very delicious food! We had all vegetarian food which was delicious! Also, the coffee is amazing! Another great thing is that it is so close to LAX so you can run by if you are picking up or dropping someone off from the airport. All in our group loved the food and can’t wait to come again!

Small, casual with quick service. Our meal was made to order and super fresh. I got the veggie combo and my boyfriend got a meat tibs dish (he ate it so fast I only got a picture of the empty bowl.) the salad was so tasty and I loved the cabbage. I will be back soon.... Also, woman owned.

It was delicious! My first time at this restaurant, but I've been eating Ethiopian cuisine for several years. Service was excellent and very hospitable. Definitely will be back!!! I had the shiro veggie combo and it was very good. Very tasty, fresh vegetables!!!

**Saturday Lunch: July 2022 Visit**There's not a big Ethiopian presence where I live so when I visit Inglewood I'm always interested to try some exotic food, especially Ethiopian! My friend and I shared a Veggie Platter and a serving of Lamb tibs. A second friend joined us and we ordered a meat platter for the three of us to share - honestly, we probably could have just eaten the Veggie Platter and Lamb Tibs because it was quite a bit of food (both in terms of quality and flavor). I love all the textures and spices of each item placed on the plate and while messy, it truly is a feast! I will certainly be back!Tips-There's a very small parking lot. I recommend carpooling-Restaurant is also equally small. I wouldn't recommend more than a party of 4

Don't know how I missed this place but so glad, so very glad I know it exists because I love Ethiopian food. Or maybe I just love eating with my hands. Dunno and don't care. Was here for lunch over the weekend and it's a sure bet that I'll be back. Parking was ok for my visit. It's a very tight plaza with maybe around a dozen spots. But, it's one way in and the same way out. If you pull in with a large vehicle and it's both busy and jammed, have fun with that. Probably easier to find street parking and walk in when it's busy. You can say the same about the restaurant. I don't recommend coming in with a group larger than 4 if you want to sit together. If you have a very large party, you may want to call; if you can even do that. As for the food, pics don't do the food justice. Shared between three - a veggie platter with lamb tibs and a meat combo. Pics don't do the food justice. I've not prepared Ethiopian cuisine before so I don't know what it entails but I will say that fresh ingredients make or break dishes when served like the platter is. And fresh it is. Meats are tender and full of flavor to where I asked for hot sauce on the side (my friends don't do hot) but I didn't use very much. Enjoyed it and will be back to try other dishes.

Came in and got the meat combo to go and a coffee while i waited. The coffee was pretty good and the buzz was nice while listening to the music. The food is amazing. Especially for $17 getting 3 meat items w/ injera fills you up quick. Overall, it's clear the proprietors are invested in bringing you to experience their culture. If you're gluten free, let them know

Ordered over the phone. Great customer service-All Food is delicious.Con- chicken dish only had 1 chicken leg, for the price. I was disappointed in the lack of chicken meat.

Delicious! Hands-down the best veggie combination at an Ethiopian restaurant in Los Angeles.We've been waiting months for our favorite of all time Ethiopian spot Emma Habesha to reopen . In the meantime, our cravings for Ethiopian food have led us to branch out and try two other spots in Inglewood. This place is our new go-to for sure- the vegetarian combo was amazing. The injera, house-made, was our favorite in LA- just sour enough to bite but also subtle and chewy. We loved the split peas (which the owner generously gave us an extra portion on the house of, maybe since we were the last customers of the night), and the red lentils were spiced perfectly. We prefer Emma's collard greens, but Fresh's collard greens was a close contender! We ordered the meat combination as well and asked the hostess to substitute tibs for the lamb wot. Due to a miscommunication likely from ordering over the phone, they ended subbing out both the lamb wot and the gomen besega , and gave us larger portions of chicken wot and tibs. Our only complaint would be there was a single small chicken leg in the chicken wot, which means very little meat in half the dish. The sauce was spicy and thick, and we gobbled it down in no time. We still prefer Emma Habesha's meats because they use their own special spice combo and the meat is always deliciously the right mix of chewy and tender.For both veggie and meat combos, this place delivers a delicious meal. Fresh stands out from the multitude of Ethiopian options in LA because it has the best vegetarian combo we've tasted to date, comparable to Emma Habesha's, also in Inglewood.Folks in LA may often recommend the mid-Wilshire restaurants in Little Ethiopia but the real Ethiopian food is in Inglewood, just 20 minutes south. Fresh Ethiopian is a new find for us, thanks to Yelp, but will be somewhere we return for more of that delicious vegetarian combo, and hopefully some of their trout when they're not sold out for the night (shows how popular the trout combo is!).
