Fidel East African Restaurant

Excited to finally try this place. I got the veggie combo and LOVED it. I think they puréed one of the lentil sides and it was a smooth, creamy, and orange in color tasty sauce. I liked that they used fresh jalapeños in the warm food too which gives the food such a nice flavor. All the veggies were delicious and different flavors. It was so aromatic! I did take out which was a good choice because music was kind of loud. It was literally only men there but looked like they were all having a good time :) my server was nice, I think her name was Alem.

Non-descript little place with amazing food and Ethiopian beer. The place is dark like a bar but colors the soul while you can watch Ethiopian music videos on the tv. After short conversation with the host about having eaten Ethiopian food several times, they were very welcoming. The Zilzil Tibs was fanatastic.

Nondescript, easy to overlook, tiny strip mall location. Feels more like a bar inside than a restaurant. So much so that I had to ask the bartender if they even served food. I thought maybe they couldn't afford a new sign out front for their new bar. There are very few tables one could truly dine at, and lots of little tables with comfy chairs around them like you'd find at a hookah bar. There is a pool table, a small stage where bands appear to perform, a bar with three TVs, and an espresso machine. Interesting mix of treatments. The food, however, was no joke. I tried to order a samusa, but they were all out for the day. For my meal, I ordered the tibs firfir. The portion that arrived was massive, covered entirely by injira. The flavors were fantastic, and I savored every bite until the injira got cold, which could have taken longer. The staff were polite and friendly, making small talk when they saw I knew a little about Ethiopia and their cuisine. I would return if I found myself in the area again.

Terrible. The waitress got our order wrong. We ordered two appetizers and then she came back to say they didn't have either. I ordered tea and she her nod seemed like they had it but then after waiting 10 minutes she said "no tea". No silverware. We also had a restaurant.com coupon for 25$ which I payed 10$ for and they refused to take it. Seems purposeful to me. We got a lot of strange stares from people, 3 guys came out of the kitchen and kept staring at my wife and she told me she was uncomfortable. So glad we left. Never going back!! No way this place is 5 stars - I am willing to bet the other review is from the owner or an owner's friend. Absolutely Terrible

Food was so good. I had never had that particular kind of food but I so enjoyed it! Music was loud and it was really hard to hear the waitress but didn't mind as she was so sweet

Ordered 1 dish of food for 3 people because the portions were big but got charged for 3 dishes. When I asked the waitress about it, she got loud with me and kept saying I ordered 3 meals. When we were finally about to pay she threw away MY leftovers that I just got done paying for, confronted her about it and she tried throwing a bottle at my friend. NEVER come here.

Horrible place. I came in with my 1 year old son and the waitress at the bar had no manners at all. I've met little kids with better manners than her. I ordered tibs and a coffee and as I'm ordering food from the waitress she no joke walked away from me, while I was giving her my sons order. If you want to be treated like shit go here.
