I recently visited Ebony SLO and was absolutely blown away! This Ethiopian gem offers not just incredible food, but also a delightful dining atmosphere. The interior decor is warm, stylish, and authentic, making you feel like you’ve been transported to another world.
One of the standout features is their beautiful outdoor patio – it’s spacious, thoughtfully arranged, and perfect for enjoying a meal al fresco. Every detail of the presentation, from the table settings to the dishes themselves, was immaculate.
The food was absolutely delicious, with vibrant flavors and generous portions. Each dish felt like it was prepared with care and attention to detail. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the entire experience even more enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a place with great ambiance, top-notch Ethiopian cuisine, and a welcoming vibe, I highly recommend Ebony! It’s a true treasure.… more… View more

Found inside the shopping center, this is an amazing place!! I’ve been to Ethiopia and this food is legit.
There’s great Ethiopian music, artifacts for sale, seating in the patio or in the back. Order at the front desk then sit down at a table.
We got the platter for two: 4 choices atop njera. We took her advice on which to order and LOVED it. Plus the honey wine (oh, my gosh, amazing!) and the ginger beer (so fresh and clearly real ginger). We could not be happier with the entire experience.
We ate with our hands (tear the njera and use it to pick up scoops of sauce, food, etc) but there were forks provided just in case. The lentils were our favorite, i loved the mushrooms, the boiled cabbage and carrots were surprisingly great , and the potatoes were very good (we were split in the potatoes). Everything is vegan and delicious.

We love Ebony! All vegan & gluten free menu. Super delicious food. Beautiful decor, very casual setting, order at the counter, can sit inside or outside on the beautiful creekside patio. Love that they’re open with a full menu now and do family style plates for sharing (no more to-go contsiners). The Injera bread is light and springy and fantastic, made with teff. The standout dish for us is the spicy misir wot (red lentil dish). Other favorites are the goman (kale & onions), defen misir alicha wot (green lentils) and denech alicha wot (potatoes & carrots). Also the Ethiopian tea is a must for me, has such a delicious cardamom, ginger, clove, and cinnamon flavor. Also love that they have a water fill station with cups in-house. Overall is a bit pricey but absolutely worth it! The single order has two menu items plus a side salad for $18, the family style comes with four items plus the side salad, serves two people for $39. They also have a larger family style option for more people. Overall very filling! A must visit location, supporting a women-owned local small business ❤️

Four of us were happy to enjoy a shared dinner that included everything on the menu. Each dish had its own unique flavor and textures. The dinner was lovely to look at and savory and delicious to eat. We felt full without being overstuffed. It was all healthy and tasty. A lovely experience. We will be back again.

Exceptional Ethiopian restaurant! This is a vegan’s paradise. I loved the split pea, lentil and chickpea dishes. The potatoes, cabbage and injera were also amazing. The fresh ginger beer is a must order. I’m a huge fan of the atmosphere and Ethiopian decor too. Wonderful people!

Love this place in SLO. The food is super healthy. It’s vegetarian Ethiopian food and the ambience is spectacular, very relaxing and elegant. I love Ethiopian food in general, the injera bread and all the different dishes, and this place just makes it even better by being so healthful.

This place is amazing. We LOVE Ethiopian food, and they nail it here. The owner is kind and the food is on point. Great music, great vibe, outdoor seating by the creek and everything. Highly recommend. A lot of traditional elements as well as contemporary style.

Always a good time here!
Fantastic wholesome Ethiopian food! Simply wow! The food was absolutely delicious. It’s super healthy and tastes great. Not oily or greasy or salty, just yummy!
We grabbed a 2-person order that came with 2 servings of injera (Ethiopian flatbread) and 3 sides. Spicy lentils, cabbage+carrot, and red beets. Everything tasted great!
They make everything fresh here. The owner and chef are both gluten-free so their whole kitchen and all cooking equipment is entirely gluten-free with zero cross-contamination! Their injera flatbread is made from teff flour with no wheat at all (unlike some other Ethiopian places). Everything is dairy-free as well. So this is really a fantastic place to bring friends with food intolerances!
They just added a nice outdoor seating area which makes it a great spot to stop and enjoy the meal on-site. Definitely going back here! Can’t wait for them to expand their hours.
Update: their brunch on Sundays is super tasty as well! Definitely worth a visit on the weekend.
