Food was delicious, had the vegetarian meal for two and it was my first time and loved it. Kind of reminded me of some of my childhood dishes. The injera was so delicious to swoop every bite of the flavor.

Service the girl who served was just the best, she guided us, was very friendly and was fast on her toes. We had amazing discussion about cruise both Ethiopian and Indian which share a spice pallet.

Atmosphere was amazing, clean, hospitable and beautiful music being played.

Loved it and cannot wait to go back.

It was my first time trying Ethiopian food. They. Were. AWESOME!! The flavor is well-developed, and each flavor is distinguishable from one another. The meat is tender, well-seasoned, and everything is freshly prepared.

The Ethiopian flat bread is a perfect “utensil” to use and scoop with the meal. Definitely will come back and a must try!

I recently went here with a family member, and we finally had the time to go here! We got the veggie combo plate for two, which we liked a lot! I liked the potatoes, and the family member liked the green beans and the yellow lentils! This place is a bit smaller than I thought it would’ve been, though, but there is a private event room for events.

Went last night to try it dine in for the first time. I’ve had Nigerian food and my wife has had Nimbabwean food. This Ethiopian knocked it out of the park. The server was kind and walked us through the traditional ways of eating and provided us with towels as you traditionally eat with your hands/bread. Service was quick. Learning the language was fun and the serving sizes were appropriate. My only downside is that our meal with a generous tip was $80 for lamb and beef pictured. I wish it was a little more wallet friendly for newcomers, but will absolutely return!

Place was empty except for another couple. That should’ve been the red flag for me to leave. Anyway, I love Ethiopian food and I was excited to try this place. Anjera was COLD and soggy. We ordered the platter, everything was cold as if it was microwaved and it tasted like it was cooked a few days ago. I asked the waitress if the dishes were cooked today, she said no. She admitted that they reheat the food and its not made the same day. This is pure disrespect to your customers, we’re paying to eat FRESHLY cooked food. NOT reheated old stale food. We literally took only 2 bites and left the rest of the food as it is, paid and left. Never again. I dont know how this place has a 4.5 but its deceiving. I hope they realize the standards of excellent food. Ethiopian food is supposed to be so flavorful, its a shame that they dont have the passion for it.

Some of the best vegan Ethiopian food I’ve had. The combo was incredible, with rich flavor and perfectly cooked dishes. Great service and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone seeking authentic plant-based options.

Taste of Ethiopia was wonderful beyond words! The energy of the place and the lovely ladies shine forth in everything — the personal interactions, the decor, the vibe, and also THE FOOD!

Everything was flavorful, perfectly cooked and seasoned, and delicious. The tea is perfection, and the dessert was simply wonderful. We will be back!

My favorite part, by far, was the women running the place. Genuine smiles, kind faces, heartwarming energy — it was uplifting to us and our entire day.

So grateful we found this place!

I cannot recommend this AUTHENTIC restaurant enough!!

Meski (the owner) is a joy to talk to, as well as all of the other employees here. Their passion and love for food is clear in the quality of the dishes. As a person with siblings from Ethiopia, it is extremely important for me to have an experience that truly shows the love, taste, and passion in food. And our family concurs… this place ROCKS!!

Clean, quick, and filled with heavenly smells. Staff provide hot towel to wash your hands before and after your meal. Injera (the staple sourdough-like bread from Ethiopia) is provided with every entree.

Our family highly recommends EVERYTHING on the menu, but our favorites include Doro Wat, Sega/Doro Tibs, Yatakilt Wat, and Gomen.

Get over here and try this place!!!

I recently dined at Taste of Ethiopia and had a delightful experience. The food was rich in authentic Ethiopian flavors, with the injera and various stews standing out. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal. The highlight, however, was the warm and attentive service. The staffs went out of their way to explain the dishes and ensure we were comfortable. Their genuine hospitality made the meal even more enjoyable. This restaurant is a wonderful place to savor Ethiopian cuisine and feel truly welcomed.
