The food is consistently delicious! The food has amazing flavor, the texture is great, and the meat is tender. Every time that we eat here I eat too much because the servings are big, and the food is too good. The staff is sweet and attentive, and we can easily find parking a block off of MLK. It is a family favorite, especially for our 5yo!

So delicious! Great selection, great injera and assortment of dishes. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is very welcoming and pleasant. Highly recommend this approachable restaurant!Dietary restrictions: Good for vegetarians, gluten free folks.Parking: There are a couple lots oN MLK for the various businesses. And street parking galore.Kid-friendliness: Sambusa is probably a nice finger food for kids. And they’ll love injera

There are a few good Ethiopian restaurants on MLK, but this might be the best one.Really relaxed vibe, and such nice people work here!Of course, the food is terrific. Specifically, perfect injera.If you don’t know what to get, get the family platter. A terrific bargain! Plenty for two or more to share. And a great sampler of greatest hits.We will be back.

My girlfriend and I are from out of town and decided randomly to pick Lalibela. We were sooo happy we did. The food was amazing and the women who served us (thinking she's owns it with her family), she was so nice and attentive. The food again - Was Amazing. I 100% recommend the place.

My wife and I stopped in at Lalibela for an early dinner, and boy was it a great experience. We shared the lalibela platter- which was an assortment of dishes with injaera- and coffee. The food was generous in portion, and spiced to perfection. The service was phenomenal. A treat all around

Delicious nourishing food! I felt much improved. My husband and I shared a vegetarian platter. This was our first time here and our food was made with care and we were treated with great care. It was relaxing and we loved it. Hope to come back soon as we live out of town. I really liked their tea as well. Had not had Ethiopian tea before a strong herbal brew that needed no sugar or milk. It was very good. Injera is teff no gluten light and delicious.Vegetarian options: Gluten free
