Reviews for Lalibela Ethiopian Restaurant in New York, NY

My first time eating Ethiopian. Portions were small but since I had no idea how my stomach would respond, I didn't want to push... it. Food was good, a little on the spicy side. Great service. We went on a Saturday afternoon, so only one other group in therestaurant. It didn't make me a fan of Ethiopian but I wouldn't mind going again if someone really wanted that cuisine. Read more

A jewel of a place in Harlem. The food was Ah-mazing! Authentic Ethiopian cuisine served in a quaint setting just two blocks... away from Morningside Park. Excellent lunch or dinner spot. I would not be surprised to see this chef on a cooking show in thefuture. Must eat. #nyc #goodeats #foodies Read more

Authentic Ethiopian cuisine with an extremely friendly and helpful staff. The ambiance is stark and open which gives the... restaurant a clean and light atmosphere. The vegetable sambusa was served with a hot green sauce that was super spicy anddelicious. My family shares the vegetable combo which is plenty of food for 2 adults and 2 kids with a variety of flavors. Highly recommended spot that I will definitely go back to. There is a full bar and outdoor seating as well. Read more
