They even subbed out okra for spinach for me, no questions asked, and all the people sitting in the restaurant were regulars! The vibe of the restaurant was really nice too, with the perfect music to accompany your meal. Seriously couldn't have asked for a better night out. I would eat here repeatedly if I could!

Highly recommend! We were able to make a reservation online but ended up just sitting at the bar,…read morecuz the vibe was right. Based off recommendations I got from friends, we started with the lamb sambusas and then had the 2 person platter. I got a glass of red wine and my husband tried the African beer. The beer was served in a wooden bowl! The food itself was so good. I wanted to eat my weight in the sambusas - they were spiced so nicely! The 2 person platter was great - we were taught how to eat using the injeria instead of a fork and knife (we were provided cutlery if we didn't want to eat the traditional way). All of it was so good, but I did get a couple of bites of meat with some gristle. We then got a dessert - the black rice witb mango sauce. My husband was so full, he planned to only have one bite. He ate half! Can't wait to return - we'll be trying the vegan platter next

As a world traveller, I love different ethnic cuisines. Ethiopian is in my top three. As a native…read moreFrankfurter, I love exploring my birth city's restaurants. Therefore, I discovered this hidden treasure years ago. (Before that I tried a couple of other similar venues in the city and was disappointed.) I first learned about Ethiopian food in Atlanta, GA in the early 80's while attending university. Good versions and bad versions. Since then I have experiences both in diverse places such as Boston, NYC, St.Paul (MN), Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, Houston, Paris (F), Rome (I), Berlin (D), and some cities I don't remember. Lalibela in Frankfurt is one on the top 5 restaurants. The food is authentic and flavorful. Both veggie and meat dishes. (Many times only the meats are spicy and the veggies are bland.) Plus the owners are a true delight. Friendly, cheerful, they showcase their culture. We were just back yesterday with my best friend from college in Atlanta. She has been living in Hamburg for decades. I had not seen her for over 30 years. She came to Frankfurt to meet up with us while we were in Germany. I offered her several different cuisine options and she wanted Ethiopian. She loved all of it. Nostalgic flavors. Authentic smells. Plus the amazing hosts! We will always call me back.

A google search gave us LaLiBeLa Ethiopian food. None of us had ever tried that before so decided to give it a go. The place is very clean and comfortable. The owner was serving us and she was one of the nicest people you could ever ask to meet. One of us has very specific dietary needs and she went out of her way to make something that fit the bill. She succeeded! If you're in Frankfurt and want to try something different and delicious, you won't be disappointed if you give LaLiBeLa a try!

Well spiced, different recipes served on a plate with injera(it looks, something like a pancake or mexican tortillas ).

Injera is made up of Teef ( a small grass like grain/seeds, growing up only in Ethiopia) and Teef is Gluten free.

And this is…read moreexactly the way you can experience the Ethiopian food and our traditional coffee: as if made by mothers hand. And everyone knows that mother's food tastes the best! Ethiopia is a colorful, multi-ethnic people that populates the Horn of Africa. It is the origin of not only man, but of our coffee as well. Because the magic cherry has its home in the region of Kaffa- in the southwest of Ethiopia. Most Ethiopians eat almost half the days of the year vegan. For this reason, the vegan kitchen in our home is very versatile and pronounced. Injera, the traditional Ethiopian dish, is a very thin, soft flatbread made from millet, flour, yeast and water. It is the healthy basis for every dish and amusingly replaces all the plates. We invite you to enjoy the tastes, smells and customs of our homeland at the Nile and to find a home in Ethiopia.
