Lalibela Ethiopian Restaurant

We would get food from Lalibela every night if we could! We have only tried their vegetarian dishes and they are really incredible. We get the Misir Wat every time. The owners are so friendly. One of these days I will take one of their cooking courses.

Delicious Ethiopian Food... I liked the experience!

I will preface this review, by noting this was the first time I have ever had Ethiopian, so I do not know if it tastes like it "should," but I do know it was amazing.  We had a groupon and decided to go on a Monday thinking it would be less crowded (given some of the other reviews, I already knew it was on the small side and could get packed).  The entire time we were there from 745-840, there were no more than 4 tables seated at any given time, all in various stages of dining.  So it was the perfect time to go.

On to the food: Meat Sambusa (delish, a little oily, but I like that), not a lot of kick but the spices combined for a great flavor (I would give 4 stars bc it was really good but is not the reason I will be back).  The real winners were the Dora Tibs and Tibs Wat.  There was so much food, and we had plenty of meat and it was so good. The Tibs Wat is a beef dish with a little kick to it. I needed my water to chase some of the bite away, but I am notorious for not being able to handle the heat.  The chicken was much less hot, but not bland at all, the spices merged for a perfect balance.  My boyfriend and I literally went from one to the other trying to decide which we liked better and then finally gave up when we couldn't eat another bite.  Words cannot even do the dinner justice. I should have just written "Amazing. The End."
