Reviews for Authentic Ethio African Spices in Phoenix, AZ

Really loved this place. It was our first time there. They also have gluten free injera. We went right when they opened But they... were out of the chicken curry dishes which we were disappointed about:( as my family doesn?t eat beef and that?s the Only meatoption they had in terms of the gravy dishes. They did have chicken tibs. The food was amazing. Would definitely go back there.The decor is one of the prettiest I have ever seen at any Ethiopian restaurant. I wish they had told us when we called in themorning to check on GF injera about running out of their chicken dishes the day before. Also the food took about 45 minutes tocome. It?s a 25 minute drive from our place, but we would definitely go again but will call before hand to check on the dishesthey do have. ???? Read more

A very nice break from the norm. I went with a few friends that hadn't experienced Ethiopian food before. My friends gave rave... reviews. They were a little light on staff, but the food was worth the wait. I would recommend going with a group and orderinga platter to share. Very delicious food. Well worth the drive and the wait time.

Enjoyed the atmosphere, food was reasonably priced. The recommendation of the food choice was excellent. The fruit drink that... they make in 3 different flavors was the best, not too sweet and it is from real fruit. Will visit again. Read more

This is the most unassuming place ever from the outside! Once you go in you?re transported to Ethiopia through the thoughtful... decor. They have these beautifully hand carved chairs in the middle, quite a few booths and some high top tables. I had aSambusa Yemser (lentils) for an app and the Meser Wot and Yesuf Fit Fit. The food was amazing and super affordable. It?s servedon a traditional Injera (Ethiopian spongy pancake). You use the Injera to dip into the dishes and eat the traditional waywithout utensils. The staff was incredibly attentive and were super friendly. I?ll definitely be back! PRO TIP- huge parking lotand entrance via the back. Read more

This was better than I could have hoped for! It was my partners first time having Ethiopian cuisine. From the excellent service... provided by our server and bartender( Isis )to the owner-made scrumptious food and in-house made baklava, the experience andambiance made this a perfect evening! It was a fairly busy night, Valentine's, but Isis made sure to take care of everyone!Thank you for an amazing establishment; we'll be back very soon! Read more

A little short staffed on a busy day like a Sunday afternoon but be patient with them. It is worth the wait. The food comes out... aromatic, fresh, and healthy. One of the best Ethiopian places around?I have tried several and this one gets repeat visits overmany of the other ones in Phoenix. Read more

One of the best in town! Been coming here for a couple of years, they never let me down especially w veggie options. the owner... and his wife are super friendly and welcoming. also, love the remodel! Read more

Delightfully delish. Food came out hot and tasty, took the waiters' suggestion, and got the platter. There are only 4 stars... because we waited about 30 minutes to get our food. Of course, everyone is short-staffed these days. I think it was worth thewait. Read more
