Reviews for Meals By Genet in Los Angeles, CA
Meals By Genet just completed refinishing my hardwood floors. One word: MAGNIFICENT!!! Josef (owner) very patiently spent over... an hour creating the "perfect stain color" for the floor. He explained step by step so I understood the entire process fromstart to finish. His crew arrived on time (in fact, about 10 minutes early) each day. They completed the job in just 2 days. Based on the impressive result, I have already referred 2 friends and an interior designer/decorator to Sequoia. A+++ Read more
I was quite surprised at the decreased quality and increased price of the food. We had take out and found the tofu tibs were... partially burnt. The doro wat was nearly $30 and we were shocked to see how little chicken and sauce were in the container. Ontop of that, we were pressured to leave a tip for the waitstaff for our pickup order. Meals by Genet had really taken a turnfor the worse. It used to be my favorite place. It?s a real shame. Read more
I have been wanting to try this place for years. I tried Rosalinda across the street years ago and it is good. But Genet taste... is different and it is also delicious. Pace yourself or you'll get full fast. Great intimate atmosphere. Great staff andGenet comes out and say hello to the guests. Read more
Delicious! The place is small and beautiful. The seats fill up fast. It did get a little noisy, but the world didnt end. The... staff is wonderful, knowledgeable and informative, and efficient. As we left we thanked Genet herself who was in the kitchencooking in a crisp white chef coat. There is limited parking is in the back and cocktails, no bar. Read more
Meals by Genet is one of my favorites, if not my favorite place. The food is always so good. The servers are very nice. I highly... recommend this place for locals in the neighborhood and also for people visiting from out of town. The food is alwaysconsistently very good. I really enjoy taking my out of town guests there to dine. They always enjoy the food and the experienceat Meals by Genet. For those unfamiliar to Ethiopian food, the style of dining is communal. A great choice for families andchildren at age ten really like it also. That is really nice because children at that age can be a little picky about theirfood. Meals by Genet is a great place.every time we go. We are always welcomed with smiling faces. On every visit we alwaysorder two veggie platters. One is never enough. Read more
Incredible meal here. Had the veggie platter with tofu. Never had tofu quite like this and cannot recommend enough. Everything... was so flavorful and light but filling. Leftovers were so good the next day too. Can't wait to go back. The atmosphere isintimate and the Wait is not long at all. Genet even came out to greet us at the end of the night. Great experience Read more
Came here with my boss and a some coworkers a few weeks ago. I'm a huge fan of Ethiopian, and apparently so is my boss, so we... let her take the reins on ordering. Consequently, I have no idea what I ate or how much it cost - just that it was spectacular.It wasn't the down and dirty authentic Ethiopian food that I'm used to, but rather more refined and fancy. I distinctly remembera couple of lentil dishes as well as the salad standing out as delicious. The service was absolutely impeccable. The server wasvery familiar with the food and made recommendations on which dishes paired well with each other. We also got to meet thechef/owner which always gets a star in my book! This is definitely a great place to introduce Ethiopian to someone or to have anicer dinner. Highly recommended! Read more
i've tried many Ethiopian restaurants in LA, West Philadelphia, and DC, and this was the driest (not saucy) food I've... tried--which we didn't really like. More details: We were four people and we ordered take-out for Sunday dinner. We ordered 6items from menu and here's what we thought: Kitfo (very plain tasting and dry); medium-spiced dorowot (good flavor and thesauciest of the dishes we tried); alitcha kik yellow peas (just ok); gomen (good but other places make it a bit more flavorful);mesir red lentils (very dry and too hard for our liking); azifa (very wasabe-flavored, we would've liked it more saucy). We putthe items on the injera and the injera didn't soak up any flavors. We were disappointed and we do not recommended it. Read more
