    Special Kornis with Kurt
    Daniel K.

    We went here for some lunch with some friends over the weekend and I was shocked about how much of their menu changed since the new owner took over. They have completely transformed not just the menu but the place as well. They have remodeled the restaurant and hired new people. The servers were friendly, detailed oriented and courteous. The food was amazing, especially the Cornis, I think it's three or four different dishes combined in one and it was amazing, I loved the creativity. Also, their latte was the best latte I have ever had in a restaurant. If you are around the area, give them a try.

    Delicious food and great service! We came here for a late lunch and as soon as you walk in, you can smell how good the place is going to be. We ordered the meat/veggie combo platter to share. It says on the menu that it serves 2 people, but I think it could serve up to 3-4. I highly recommend the platter because of the variety of dishes you can try. Each were so flavorful and paired well with the injera on the side. I would definitely be coming back!

    I recently visited Seattle for the ESFNA tournament, and I have to say--Agelgil is hands down the best Ethiopian restaurant in the city. The food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious--just like a home-cooked meal. But what truly sets Agelgil apart are standout dishes like their Dulet and sizzling Shekla Tibs--both absolutely off the charts in taste and presentation. To top it all off, the brother-and-sister co-owners, Danny and Rahel, bring a level of warmth and hospitality that makes you feel like family. Their energy and kindness are the perfect complement to a truly unforgettable dining experience. If you're ever in Seattle, Agelgil is a must. Sammy from LA

    So much delicious food that's easily shareable! The injera was lightly fermented and fluffy, the veggie and meat dips were umami, each bringing a different flavor to the table. A standout was also the samosa-like appetizers we got, super flaky and crisp, while spiced perfectly. "You know it's legit when there are uncles chilling the background" - Ethiopian friend

    Agelgil is absolutely delicious, a great value, and has very friendly staff. The veggie/meat combo is amazing - 15 separate dishes including the injera!

    Left to right Bull, the owner, Love, Pops, Flozzell, Lisette & Will at the restaurant.

    This was my first time eating at Agelgil Restaurant, the food was good, the service was great and the price was right for 5 of my family member and the coffee was of the chain! If you haven't visited yet I advised you to go and check it out for a new food experience!

    Lively ambiance and good food. Went on a Saturday evening and People start coming in at around 7-7:30. Restaurant was full. A lot of the patrons looked Ethiopian so you know that means it passes their taste test. We got the meat and veggie combo dish and it was good. Also Looks like they have a stage for performers, not sure what nights they have live performances though. We finished the meal with the coffee ceremony which was a nice end to the meal.

    Veggie Agelgil Combo

    Food and service were wonderful! The veggie combo was incredible, and more than enough food for one person. So glad our cab driver recommended this place!

    Look at your bill before you pay!!! They charged us $35 instead of $30 (as is written on their…read moremenu) for the Family Combo. And, another $5 for gluten free bread (we never asked for gluten free, and the menu says that bread is included). When we asked about the $10 extra charge that we didn't plan on, they said that they ran out of regular bread and had to give us gluten free. And the $35 instead of $30 was because they have a new menu coming out with the higher price, but "its not yet printed." This is misrepresentation and illegal. They were dishonest. They never told us about the price change in the beginning, when we were ordering. When we wanted them make it right and remove the $10 extra charge, they wouldn't. They just said its now on the "new" menu, which is "not yet printed." A bunch of BS in my opinion. It felt like they knew exactly what they are doing in scamming Americans who come into their restaurant. Be careful! Or just go some places else. There are a lot of other great options in the area.

    We love going here for their vegetable combo. It feeds my 2 kids and me for a great price!…read more They have recently updated their food so the injera is always gluten free, and the vegis are all vegan. Their food has been amazing everytime we've gone, and service has been friendly.

There's three of us and we couldn't finish so we had a decent amount to take as leftovers. The meats were all stewed until tender and all of the other veggie dishes complimented everything so well.

The combo came with a beautiful spread of veggies--cabbage, greens, split peas, lentils, and beets--along with the beef wat I selected as my meat. Everything was packed with flavor, perfectly spiced, and the portion size was just right. The presentation was thoughtful even through delivery, which is not always the case with takeout. One of the best parts? They offer gluten-free injera! That made the whole experience even better. The price itself was very fair for the amount of food you get, but like most delivery apps, the UberEats fees made the total much higher than expected. Still, the quality and flavor made it worth it. I'd love to visit Adey in person to get the full experience and ambiance when I'm here again! Since I was in town for work and too tired to go out, I specifically looked for a Black-owned restaurant that delivered, and I'm so happy I found Adey. Delicious food, great portions, and care put into every detail--I'll definitely order again next time I'm in Seattle!

    Seattle's Ethiopian food scene does it again. My mom and I got the meat combo plus fish goulash…read more Everything was fresh and tasty so it was a perfect way to spend a Fri evening. The injera here is more mild, less sour, than the other places I visited. My personal preference is for a little more fermentation but I can see this as a less daunting introduction of injera to those who never tried it before. The fish goulash was jaw droppingly good. Huge chunks of fish that's crispy and saucy.

    I came on a Sunday and this place was busy. Street parking only and it can be a little difficult…read more The restaurant is pretty big with a whole bar side in the back. The service was a little slow, but again, it was busy and there were only two people taking orders and serving. With this in mind, our food came out relatively fast. The bathroom area was also a little neglected during this busy rush with none of the sinks having paper towels, so I had to use napkins at the table to dry my hands while waiting for our food. I got an Ethiopian beer, the Zagol combo, and the lamb yebeg tibs. Everything was flavorful and paired well with the injera. The portions were pretty generous. Our meal came with 3 side injera on top of the injera plating all the veggies and meat. Between two people, we had leftovers, but a lot of it is a the injera used for plating. I wish the zagol combo had one more meat option in it, but the addition of the lamb dish was perfect. Definitely try the lamb yebeg tips because it was my favorite out of all, and we got it spicy. There's also a meat combo option on the menu as well if more meat is wanted. The beer is light and paired well with the bold flavors of these dishes. Overall I would come back again. A lot of tables had tea and I would like to try that next time.

    Meskel Ethiopian Restaurant is an institution having been in the Seattle area for 30+ years. Now…read moreonwards to its second generation in the family, Meskel is now in an area that is dotted by many other Ethiopian restaurants. They remind an OG steward in a building that incidentally looks like a family house with an interior decorated with Ethiopian art. With much competition nearby, Meskel was sadly quiet on the day we went. The proprietor was nonetheless enthusiastic with new customers to her restaurant. Per her recommendation, we ordered their popular items listed at the top of their food menu. Side note: They do not offer a meat combo, unlike many other Ethiopian restaurants. The Food: Their injera (spongy bread) is impeccable with a potent sourdough taste. Despite having had many injera in the past, theirs stood out in this regard and is incredibly flavorful as is. Unfortunately, if one doesn't like sourdough bread, this could be problematic. Each entrée includes a full-size piece of injera. BBQ Special, $28.50 - 4.5 Stars Aromatic berbere-infused steak is slow cooked and paired with peppers and onions. This dish is served in a ceramic warmer with a small piece of charcoal underneath. Hubby said he liked this better than the typical meat combo. Vegetable Combination, $25 - 4 Stars The photo's veggie combo included veggies that are served with the BBQ Special, possibly just the salad, not sure. This combo with eight variants is modest compared to other restaurants both in terms of variants and portions of each. I commonly see ten variants in the veggie combo with bigger portions for each. Looking at older posted photos, the original portions are indeed bigger. I'll chalk it off to inflation. While the flavors of each are good, overall, this combo did not compare as well as others I have had.
