Ethiopian Restaurants near Garland, TX

“If you are a meat lover, the place to be a special ribs and kikell ( mild beef soup is cooked with a variety of spices onions and garlic, which gives it a unique flavor and deliciousness) , kitfo Specifically read meat only grinded Smatterd in Spicy Kind of like ghost paper but not as quite spicy as ghost paper but spicy enough with special butter Which is prepared different kinds of spices. You can have it row or slightly cooked depending on your preferences. At least the most famous ethnic dishes Shiro bozenaa, which is cooked with Cubes cut beef or just a plane Shiro.“

“Best place hands down. I tried this food for the first time 4 years ago & fell in love. As the years passed, I moved out of the area. Tried other Ethiopian places near me but they never exceeded my expectations in taste like Star Bukris has. Anytime I crave it, I gladly take the 30min drive. The veggie combo & doro wot is my go-to comfort food“

“I’m familiar with Injera alrighty, I had a date who has never tried Ethiopian food before. We ordered the number 3 lamb/Goat tibs and it was amazing! He loved it and so did I. Customers service was great it felt like we were at home. My date at the time wanted to see the basketball game playing and THEY HAD IT ON! It was a great time you have to give them a try“

“Just visited this cafe today and everything was amazing. Food was great, service was good, and clean environment.Even though there are multiple restaurants to choose from in Dallas area and this location, this cafe offers great services and food.I would definitely recommend this restaurant whether you trying out some Ethiopian/Eritrean food, or just going out dinner, give this place a try and you’ll get good results.Vegetarian options: They have some vegetarian options.“

“Good Ethiopian food in the area. The staff is good and provides quick service. Calling in for ordering food is difficult as the phones don't connect, so one needs to walk in to order and pickup. This can be a little tiresome unless you are in the area.“

“This was our first visit and first experience with Ethiopian food. We were seated right away, and our server made great recommendations. We enjoyed everything! I read the reviews on the ginger tea and was not disappointed. The tea was a favorite. The portion sizes of the entrées were large enough to serve family style. This was definitely worth the 30-minute drive.“

“Yosis, the owner, was such a great host to me and my parents. He cared a lot about food allergies and making sure we were happy. And the food definitely made us happy. I have a feeling when my parents visit me in Dallas next time, they’ll be asking to go back here.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten-free injera bread that they make in-house.“

“Great Ethiopian restaurant with great food. Desta rolls were great although the kitfo was quite rich. Tibs and doro wat were excellent and of a good portion size.Service was a little slow but they were busy so understandable. Atmosphere was good“

“If you're looking for authentic Ethiopian dishes this is the spot! The service and quality of food is amazing. Be prepared for a little wait as the food is cooked fresh, always warm and delicious. My recommendation on an order Beef tibs, side of veggies (they will give you an assortment), and lamb tibs. They have tons of other yummy dishes as well.“

“If I lived in Garland area, this would be my second kitchen. Owner of the restaurant served and treated us like family. Food is delicious- best option for vegetarians other than Indian. No fuss, relaxed at home feel. Highly recommend Dire Dawa.“

“Arif is a hole in the wall and my ratings and reviews are in that context.After seeing it on Google I wanted to go and drove into Dallas to try it out. It's a little hard to find as the entry doesn't face eastbound Park Lane, but well worth the trip.The dining area is small and functional. Tables are equipped with a napkin dispenser which will come in handy for any injira based dish.I ordered the veggie combo and it was amazing. Each component was tasty with just the right amount of savory or spicy.I ran out of injira and the owner brought me some more. The compact size of this establishment allows for more attentive service.Arif is an off the beaten path Ethiopian eatery that is well worth checking out.“

“I was coming back from a ride and decided to try this restaurant as it was close to my home and new to me. This was the first time in years that I had had Ethiopian food. I’m telling you it was a great way to return.Their Geba Weta is a great dish. I’m sure all of the others are just as good. I’m going back for one of their lamb dishes, soon.The owners and staff are exceedingly welcoming, the dish I had was great and the atmosphere was inviting. ግሩም“

“I have been coming here for a long time, and this place never disappoints me. Me and my mom come here for brunch a lot, and the foods always come fresh!! I usually eat fritata, buna (coffee) and tiramisu, and we always buy cake for occasions at this place!“

“The food was outstanding, you can tell the kitchen puts a lot of thought into the dishes and I really enjoyed it - I had the firfir Tibs, the meat was well seasoned and it had a nice kick. The atmosphere was great for our party - we had about 13 people with us and the food came out on time for us all. We enjoyed drinks with the owner and overall had a great time. We had a birthday in our party and they made sure she felt special on her day. I highly recommend the restaurant- parking was easy and getting in and out was a breeze.“

“Another great Ethiopian restaurant. Was a little disappointed they didn't have the meat combo. But the veggie combo and the chicken doro wot was authentic and delicious. The tej wine was different, I liked the fermented and the hoppy flavor.“

“My fiancé brought me here for dinner and my first ever experience with Ethiopian food, and we agree that there is just nothing quite like this in Dallas. The food was absolutely delicious: spongy, tasty injera and the most flavorful and exciting veggies I've had since moving here. The lamb stew was rich and deep with a subtle, sneaky spice. Jonas was so welcoming, friendly, and informative: he gave great recommendations and was so kind to talk us through the different dishes, treat us to sambsas, and make us feel so welcome. In short: come here!!!“

“I initially went in to purchase kitfo and tibs but the kind owner informed me that she makes kitfo on Saturdays which I understood. I ordered the beef tibs and they were juicy and flavorful. I’ve eaten at numerous Ethiopian restaurants throughout the city and their tibs easily out rank some of the other establishments. It had a kick but it wasn’t overbearing. The injera was good. The prices were fair. It’s nice to have a restaurant in this part of town, considering that most of them are in Dallas. They also have a small grocery setup inside. I’d happily return and I would recommend.“

“In fairness, I hadn't had Ethiopian food before this visit so I can't compare to other Ethiopian places. However, the food was AMAZING! We got the veggie combo with lots of lentils, cabbage, etc and Addis Abeba tibs. The service was great too and the gal was very patient and helpful. Oh, and the iced tea was delish too!“

“This hidden gem is a must try! The restaurant is inside of the grocery store. Although, the interior isn't as appealing as your traditional restaurant, the food is delicious. The flavors are exquisite, especially the lamb tibs, with the following sides: collard greens, beets and cabbage and potatoes. Your palate will thank you. Better than some of the popular Ethiopian restaurants.“
