"Lalibela Sampler - SO GOOD!!! My husband and I love Ethiopian food but where we moved, we can't get it so during our recent visiti to the city, Lalibela was our first stop and we highly recommend! The sample platter has everything - protein, veg, complex carbs. Perfectly portioned and sooo well seasoned. Plus it's family owned which means a lot to us. Highly recommend ordering from this place! Wonderful."
"High-quality typical Ethiopian, with friendly people at pickup. Veg combo comes with two big injera (which was plenty) and is lower in spice level than many Ethiopian places - only the shiro was intensely flavorful. But all made with great ingredients and obvious care. "

A combination of gomen, kik alicha, mesir wot, atakilt, and shiro.

"The food came warm and plated nicely. The portions was enough to share. OXTAILS were flavorful and tender rice was a little sweet in my opinion but still very good. JERK CHICKEN MEAL was tender and flavorful with a nice spicy kick. Cabbage was crunchy and delicious. I would order again.

"AMAZING food. The dan dan DànDàn Noodles.. are so fresh, bouncy, and flavorful. The Eggplant with Roasted Garlic.. is light and refreshing. The dry pot is UNREAL. I get my dry pot with fish fillet (perfectly tender and just a little crisp on the edges), pork belly, quail eggs (good number of them and a nicely creamy yolk), and shiitake mushrooms. It has always come perfectly cooked, even with takeout and travel time. SO delicious and worth every bite. 15/10 best place to eat"

"Ordered Chicken Parmigiana over pasta. It came lukewarm, with rubbery chicken and pasty pasta. The Caesar Salad was a bunch of Romaine lettuce thrown together with maybe four croutons. Two slices of bread, one a hard end, completed the order. For $100+ this was not the quality I expected. I have had good meals there but as a delivery meal I would never order it again."
