Shewa-Ber Bar & Restaurant

Small place. Liked the food. It was very tasty. It had more of a bar atmosphere as it was very dim inside. The two that worked there when we were there were very nice.

My first time having Ethiopian food and we ordered Shewa Combo, Gored Gored, Goden Tibs, and two Veggie combo. All of them came with a layer of injera and extra rolls on the side. The veggie combo includes Shiro, Misir, Ater Kik, Dinich, Gomen, and Beetroot. We selected Special Tibs, Doro Wat, and Asa Gulash. Personally, I really enjoyed the Asa Gulash that the fish was fried with great texture and smothered with great spice flavor. The vegetables were delicious. I'm not a huge fan of the injera due to the sour taste but the spices helped to tone it down. Overall, everything was great except for the Goden Tibs that the short ribs was super dry and chewy. It was very hard to cut apart and very difficult to chew. Definitely a great place for group lunch or dinner; all the entrees served in large portion and easy to share.

Food- I got meat combo. Variety of flavors and meat proteins, including 2 veg items was good. Plenty of injera to with your meal. Large portion, One combo feeds 1-2 people. Spicy level is less than other Ethiopian restaurants I've been to, but they do have a side of green spice sauce included. One critique was some of the meat was not tender enough. I did purchase at 11:45am, so perhaps not enough time to simmer?Liquor available in house. Service- I did take out and it was ready in 15 min after I ordered on a Monday afternoon. Ambiance- spacious restaurant. Location- restaurant facing main roadSTREET PARKING only. Value- fair. Recommend: if you're craving Ethiopian, or in the area to support a small momma pop business :)

A cute place. It was our first time there and the food was fairly average. We've had better Ethiopian food else where. The service was quite slow, it was one gentleman working at the time.

We wanted to try some authentic Ethiopian food while on a trip to Seattle and Shewa-Ber did not disappoint! We got a combination plate with 3 entrees included: chickpea curry, beef and tilapia (recommended by our server). They were super flavorful and unique dishes we'd never had before. We loved the experience of sharing everything off a large platter and eating with our hands. Highly recommend giving it a try!

People might sleep on this place bc it's got kind of a sports bar look, but it's become my favorite Ethiopian in Seattle. Prices are reasonable, portions are good, veggie combo platter has like 8 different dishes on it, and they have this super spicy house salsa thing that goes well with everything--especially the Asa Kitfo (my go-to here).

Very tasty food! I had the special tibs with lamb and my girlfriend had the veggie combo. I'm gluten free but this was no problem with the injeera 100% teff. Clean place, nice modern vibe. Covered outdoor seating

A delicious group dinner was had at the newly opened Shewa-Ber bar and restaurant! They easily accommodated our party of 8.The entrees and combos were perfect for sharing! The shewa combo (not pictured) was definitely more than enough to share for 2 with an ample amount of injeera and the meat combo that I got for myself was definitely enough for 1.5 meals. All of the meats and fish and veggies were extremely flavorful and well-spiced. I really enjoyed the fried tilapia and the tibs! The portions were extremely generous. Overall, the service was very fast and friendly, with the staff coming to check in with us often. I will definitely be back to try more of the meats soon. And to taste their selection of Ethiopian beers!

The service is impeccable, the food is to die for,I have ordered kitfo and goredgored and it was amazing, definitely recommend it

Shewa-Ber is located in Central District on Jackson. The restaurant is in one of the newer looking mixed-use buildings. (I'm not sure if there's free parking for retail; we did street parking.) Inside, it's roomy, and tables are well spaced. The service was courteous. It was a good experience overall. Our Ethiopian combo plates were BIG. The meat combo was served on a super-size round platter, while the veggie combo was served on a turkey platter. One of us finished; one of us has a second meal the next day. Yum!The Food:Veggie Combo - 5 StarsI LOVE Ethiopian veggies. They are always so flavorful and naturally colorful. The options are plentiful. The injera (spongy bread) is perfectly spongy and delicious. Oh, that little cup of spicy chutney - yum! I asked for more and more. So good! I definitely recommend their veggie combo.
