Agelgil Ethiopian Restaurant

The food here was so flavorful and there was so much variety in the combo special that I shared with my friends. Between 4 people we shared 2 combo specials and still had a lot of food leftover to take home! Ill definitely be back - it's great for sharing with friends. The restaurant is super spacious and it was pretty empty when I went.

This is easily the best Ethiopian food I've had in Seattle. It was super authentic, and we kind of felt like we'd been transported to Ethiopia with the whole vibe and the way things were set up. The food was incredible. We got an Agelgil combo and a veggie combo. Note that the Agelgil combo is massive and includes within it an entire veggie combo in addition to the meats. Note that the Agelgil combo can feed at least four very hungry people. This is how I would recommend going to Agelgil: Go with a group so you can get a combo and try a delicious sampling. The more, the merrier, so you can also order items not on the sampler. This one is not for date night.Service was reasonably fast and really friendly. My only regret is that I didn't bring more people so I could try more things. I will be back soon!

My friend and i ordered the veggie combo with a few customizations but generally this is what you'll get. This was the combo for 2 people and we both had plenty of left overs even though we were stuffed. Great portions and super kind staff! I haven't been here before but it looks like they also have a bar and a small stage so maybe Ill come in the evening some time and see how the night life is. Overall good spot and i recommend trying it.

A ethiopian GEM hidden in a indistinctive block of buildings that served me one of the best wot dishes in seattle. This is located in an area with a lot of ethiopian restaurants. It is in an easy to miss building with darkened windows that stop people from noticing the amazing food that they serve inside.Inside there is a nice open area with clean tables and bunch of TV. This area was actually bigger than what i was expecting. Between me and my partner we ordered the Shiro Wot and Doro Wot. They were so good that we wolfed down three entire injera and two entire servings of the spicy tangy berbere filled gravy.I have tried 6 ethiopian places around seattle. Undoubtedly one of top three for shiro Wot and one of the top 2 for doro wot. I wish they could add some more presentation to their serving hall and the dish. But I am coming again ...!!!

WOW, this place is amazing! Friend took me here to try Ethiopian for the first time, and this place left an amazing impression. So much flavor and variety in one dish, plus they're very generous with the meat! The price is pretty reasonable especially for the size. We couldn't understand the menu, but our server was very kind and patient with answering our never ending questions. Will be coming back for sure.

I'm still missing my LA Ethiopian food, as it was my first experience and set the standard for the rest. This place comes close with great service with a smile, fast food prep, yummy injera and veggie platter ($15), and FANTASTIC sambusas ($2.50 each). So why not 5 stars? We needed more injera than we were given, and the veggie platter was smaller than the ones I have had elsewhere and had 1-2 fewer piles of lentils/veggies. (Plus I still believe sambusas need some kind of chutney or salsa on the side, although that is not the norm at Ethiopian places in my experience.) Still, I would return, and likely will... very soon! Bottom line: Yum ditty dumb!

This was my first time eating Ethiopian food and it did not disappoint! This combo was perfect for 2 people (my friend and I had leftovers too!) and an amazing introduction to the cuisine. The flavors were very unique and everything went together well. Staff was welcoming and service was quick.

I went to Agelgil for a family celebration of a party of 12. We were greeted with a smile, an accommodating customer service. The food was delicious and the service was great. We will definitely come back.

Absolutely the best Ethiopian in and area with lots of options! We have tried them all and now we go nowhere else. We live nearby and order from Agelgil probably once per week - our toddler loves it, too. Plus, we're always greeted with a warm smile.

Good food with horrible service. Let me preface this by saying that I am also a food service worker so I completely understand the annoyance that can come along with the job, but I also believe that regardless of how you personally feel, your job as a food server is to provide great service! I came with three other people, two out of towners, and my partner. I had come to this place two years ago when I first visited Seattle, and since then, I was convinced this was the best Ethiopian restaurant in Seattle. It's not.When our server came, she did not greet us warmly or with any semblance of wanting us (or herself) to be there. I asked for a substitution of the beef in the combo plate to chicken because one person did not eat any red meat. She stared directly at my friends face for 10 seconds, clearly deciding whether or not we could do that. There would have been no issue if no substitutions were allowed; we simply would have ordered a-la-carte. But there was an issue with her attitude and demeanour while staring at my friend, and when she finally said yes to the sub, she sighed and sucked her teeth as if it was a problem. It felt like after that point she just had an issue with us because she barely said two words to us. Everyone's mood was put off by her and honestly, it made the food taste worse. Don't get me wrong, the place has good food, but a place with good food AND good service? That's a winner.
