Lalibela Restaurant and Bar

Finally tried Lalibela and wow it did not disappoint. Sat right away on a Friday night and had excellent service throughout. The flavors were exceptional, service was fast, prices were very reasonable. The restaurant has a bar area, pool table, and a nice lounge in the back intermixed with many tables. Can't wait to go again!

Small shopping plaza, next to Santiago Supermarket, tattoo parlor too. I hear a pool table by the front and baOrdered 1 #35 to start, so we could get one round of the veggies with the chicken tebs, spicy. Ordered a second round #35. $42.98. Their only veggies here: cabbage, collard greens, red lentil, ground chick peas and salad. Not a lot of veggie options here. All of the veggies except for the collard greens are spicy, all good. The chicken is a tad dry, but super flavorful. The collard greens are ok, as was the salad. These two weren't my favorite. The cabbage, red lentil, yellow lentil, chick peas are all good. Some parts of the yellow lentil is a bad hard and clumpy. The injera here has a nice bite and tartness to the dough. Food is good, service too.

The food was absolutely delicious and large portions for low prices! I'd come again if I'm in the area.

My first time trying traditional Ethiopian and I'm excited to try other places in our city. The food was flavorful and everyone was very welcoming. They did not assume we weren't sure how to enjoy the food. It were happy to answer questions when we had them. Between the beef and the lamb, I found the lamb to be more soft and tender. I enjoyed the injera when it soaked in the flavor from the tebs. The fish was very crunchy and I enjoyed the spicy dipping sauce it was served with.

I'm always a fan of Ethiopian food and Lalibela is a great restaurant on the East side of town. Its a quiet, casual restaurant tucked away in a strip mall. There's a large bar/dance? area that you walk through to get to the seated dining space.Our waitress was nice and patient as we tried to make decisions for food and drink. We got the vegetarian platter along with a lamb and beef tib of sorts. I also got some honey cider to go along with my meal. The food was excellent and so filling. There's just always so many flavors and ways to combine the various dishes along with the wonderfully spongey, soury injera. The honey cider was also great, strong honey flavor, sweet, and went great with my meal.Definitely a must go for Ethiopian food or for anyone wanting to try something outside of common American fare.

Whenever I want some delicious rice and lamb with extra sauce and spice this is the place I go to. I've been going here for 3 years and it never fails. I really enjoy the Italian bread and the salad. I really enjoy the music. It makes me feel at home. The customer service is great. As soon as I walk in the dore there is a person waiting to take my order and the food does not take long to get to me. Beautiful people, beautiful culture and amazing flavorful food.

It has been a few hard days and after two doctors appointments this morning, I needed a hearty meal and do we got a combo platter with beef, and a lamb platter substituteing their cauliflower and potatoes veggie for their great greens.Everything was amazing.

Ethiopian restaurant that uses halal meats, but serves alcohol - take it for what it's worth. Veggie combination plate - this plate literally has a little bit of everything. Unfortunately, there are no substitutions. I wanted to try the Shiro so we ordered the Shiro plate. These plates are massive. It's challenging to finish an entire plate solo. The presentation is ON POINT!Some people like their injera soggy by mixing everything together. The additional injera (on the side) is GLORIOUS!my injera was nice and firm with every single bite. Would 100% revisit.

I had to update my review, because I realized my last one was pretty old and this has become one of my family's most frequented restaurants. My husband and I came here pretty regularly before but now our daughter is obsessed with it and if asked what she wants for dinner, she'll always say the sour bread place. The food is always somewhere between really good or great. I feel like the variance is indicative of how homemade it all seems. We all love their injera. We typically get the Mahberoch with the chicken tebs as the protein and an order of the ye siga wot added on as well. The servers are lovely, and it's been the same gals for about as long as I can remember. The owner usually will stop to chat if he's around, he's very kind. It's charming inside, with some traditional looking decor and there's a small space in the dining room dedicated to the coffee roasting ceremony they'll do periodically. I believe they have live music sometimes too. The quality of the food plus the experience is always worth the cost as far as I'm concerned, and it's definitely a very reasonable cost at that. Try them out!

Because things are made from scratch, if you order ahead, things go a little quicker but the food is phenomenal! The coffee service is an experience and wonderful, unlike any other coffee!
