Reviews for Cafe Lalibela Ethiopian Cuisine in Tempe, AZ

This was my first time here and my first time eating Ethiopian food. The service was good, but the waitress seemed like she was... just there for the check, but not to make it a great experience. The food was ready fast and it was fresh and the righttemperature. Everything was amazing and perfectly seasoned. The price was good, not too expensive. I truly loved the whole mealand will definitely return. Read more

This place is amazing. Worth the drive from Chandler! Ethiopian is not well known but should be. North African spices and slow... cooked meats and vegetables. This food is vegetarian friendly but serves meat too. This food is very healthy too promoting guthealth and heart health. Enjoy! Read more

Thrilled to finally be dining here today! Have been wanting to experience Ethiopian Cuisine for years now, and it finally... aligned to have lunch. Ordered the lunch sampler- I chose fosolia (stewed green beans and carrots), yekik alicha (peas andlentils), and alicha sega wat (stewed beef). I will be back again, trying new dishes. Thank you to our server, Sera, for kindhospitality and help with questions I had. She has the warmest smile! Read more

First time trying Ethiopian food and it was an okay experience. The flat bread they use is very bland, it just took away a lot... of the flavors and only made us full very quickly. The appetizer was way too spicy could not take more than 2 bites. On apositive note; the service was very friendly and their iced Tea very flavorful. Read more

I was greeted with a smile and positive energy! This time I came in only for Honey wine to go as a gift. I have eaten here... before and enjoyed the food. I should?ve written a review sooner! My mom and I have always had a good experience here! I will beback! Read more

Unique and great experience for anyone who has not had Ethiopian food before. This was my first right, and it was very good. The... walls are decorated with art and items of Ethiopia, and add to the experience Read more

Beautiful food and unique experience. So glad we found this place. Perfect for those who are tired of similar dine out options... and looking for something different. I am not familiar with Ethiopian cuisine or how authentic their food is, but it is darngood food regardless. We had the combination platter for two people, and it was more than enough to feed two very starvingadults. So many different kinds of meat and vegetable ???? Be aware however, some of the dishes pack some heat ?? We also triedthe side of fresh made cheese. It was mild and soft- a fun addition to an already amazing food. The restaurant has vegan- andvegetarian- options, which is also nice. Tea and coffee are available on the menu and you can also buy packaged ones from therestaurant. Our server was nice and attentive. The entire place has a cozy, comfortable vibe. The bathroom inside the restaurantwas clean as well. Read more

Went to this place looking for something new and we were not disappointed. Right when you walk in you are hit with the smell of... delicious food and spices. We ordered the vegan platter and an appetizer and the flavors were incredible. My favorite were thered lentils, green bean dish, collard greens, and the cabbage and potatoes. Oh and the appetizer which was like gazpacho overspongy sourdough (best I can describe the flavor). The wait staff was very friendly, food was quick, can't wait to drag thekids back here! Read more
