My first time trying Ethiopian food, and it was AMAZING! Our waiter was patient with me, gave me recommendations, and showed me how to eat their cuisine. I’ve never had flavors like this before! Can’t wait to come back!

With all the raving reviews here, I was really expecting exceptional. I’ve decided that I just don’t like Ethiopian food.
At 8pm on Tuesday, the place was empty. We were the only customers until one man came to get a to-go order. Other than him, it stayed empty. The owner was in the back and took a while before coming out to greet us (probably because the place was empty).
They don’t give you utensils – it could be that they don’t use it in Ethiopian culture, or that the server/owner forgot. We wanted to ask for them, but he went back inside and didn’t come out though we tried calling out a few times. We saw some spoons on the counter, though, and ended up using them. We could have eaten the meat with the bread, but there was also salad and it just wasn’t finger friendly.
Meat sambusa
A meat filled appetizer, kinda like a triangular empanada. This was a tasty appetizer, but I’m a little spoiled, and some cheese inside would’ve made a huge difference. It didn’t feel so different that it was fine just as it was, and there was something reminiscent of an empanada that kept making me wish there was some cheese in it.
Beef wot fit fit
It’s beef cuts tossed with the sour bread and green peppers, served with more sour bread (injera). The beef smelled funny. It was a different cut of meat from the other beef dish we had.
Awaze tubs
This was the marinated beef tossed with veggies and served with salad and injera. This was the yummiest of the bunch. It wasn’t that spicy, but had nice flavors and the beef was tender.
Beef key wot
Minced beef infused with sauce. Reminded me of chili. With some ketchup. Something familiar but couldn’t really place my finger on it.
I’m always up to trying new foods and was really hoping to like it here. Though it wasn’t my personal cup of tea, I may still grow to like Ethiopian fare and when I do, I may become a fan. I hope so!

I had a fantastic meal and Lalibela after stopping by two other Ethiopian restaurants that appeared closed. It was a quiet evening and I was the first diner of the evening. Another family came after me. The service was attentive and the food was delicious. I loved the sambusa appetizer as well as the combination vegetarian meal.

We like Ethiopian food in general and decided to try this place while visiting Sioux Falls. I called about a reservation on a Saturday night, but the owner said it was not necessary. Management was very friendly when we arrived. We got a two-combo vegetarian plate and a multi-combo meat plate, along with Ethiopian beer which my husband said was pretty good. Tasty food. It’s always different eating with hands for the first few minutes and then seems normal. Worth a visit!

Surprised to see that there were quite a few Ethiopian restaurants during the stay in Sioux Falls a few weeks ago, we decided to give it a try. The owner was very nice to explain to us about the food on the menu, and a little about the culture. We enjoyed the food, especially tasty to eat with our own hands, we also like the decoration

It’s the first time I try Ethiopian food and I got surprised! Each part of the combination had very rich flavors. The service was friendly and the environment was comforting. I think I’ll go there again.

My husband & I went here on a road trip touring different restaurants from Diners, drive-ins & dives. We were so excited to try Ethiopian food as neither of us have ever tried it. We came in and were immediately greeted with a warm welcome and ice waters. We were also recommended to try the sampler dish for two. It was perfect and delicious!

While looking up best restaurants in Sioux Falls, Lalibela restaurant continued to pop up in my search. Never having eaten Ethiopian food before, my husband and I were intrigued and decided we would give it a try while we were in town. We were not disappointed! We ate at Lalibela on 6/9/23. The waitress was very patient and kind when we said we had never eaten this type of food before. She briefly explained how you eat with injera instead of utensils. She also was eager to answer any questions we had and to make suggestions. We ordered the meat sambusa as an appetizer which was my favorite thing. Piping hot, pastry shell was perfectly crisp, meat was flavorful, and the sauce was a wonderful accompaniment. For our entrees, my husband went with a combination platter while I had the beef tibs. Every bite was excellent. The only downside is we live 15 hours away from Sioux Falls, and we will have to try to find an Ethiopian restaurant close to home!
