We started with a house made tea, which was the perfect warm welcome. Then, the owner/cook, Membee (apologies if I misspelled your name), personally came out to introduce herself and walk us through the menu. Her passion for cooking was evident, and you could truly taste the love in every bite--the flavors danced across my palate!

My favorite was the yellow and red lentils. We got the full 10 vegetarian combo plate and 4 chicken dishes. Not too spicy, which is something I struggle with at some Ethiopian dishes as a total lightweight. Everyone loved the beets. Another thing: this place has fresh food! the last Ethiopian place (different restaurant) I ate prior was dripping in oil. This place was not dripping in oil and I left feeling full and happy. We got coffee which had notes of cinnamon and cardamom. Mango juice was flavorful. Forgot to take photos of our own dishes and took a photo of someone sitting nearby. Amazing colors!

It's pretty small, but they do take reservations. It was packed on a Monday, so definitely plan ahead. You can order individual dishes or platters. We went with the Family Combo Platter and added lamb tibs, which was a very good idea! The lamb was so tender and ended up being a favorite for the table. I loved their veggies too, so don't skip those. The green salad looked simple but added a lightness to the meal. The beets and cabbage were both favorites of mine. They will also bring you lots of injera to soak everything up. We also added an order of Sambusa's, which are like samosas, with the lentil filling and loved those too. They were fried to perfection and pretty large. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back.

They even make cabbage taste wonderful! The menu is balanced - offering a wide array of vegetarian and meat options. The combination of great service and to-die-for food makes Bete-Lukas our absolute favorite place to eat. My partner has a very restrictive diet, but is able to eat almost everything on the menu because the ingredients are fresh and the food is authentically prepared.

It was piping hot and, well seasoned. I find eating with my hands quite satisfying when it's necessary. Service~Our waiter was very nice, attentive and, a straight shooter (we like that). Asking questions, talking, laughing, and joking was pretty pleasant. I wanted to substitute the green beans but, he advised me that it really helped balance the meal. My man loves greens beans but, he was willing to change it if I didn't like it once it came to the table. Ambiance~Open only Wed~Sun 5-8:00 it's located on a busy/residential street. It has very limited parking in front and, in general. You are going to have hit a few blocks (1-4 hr) because, it's a lot of 30 min parking signs on this particular street. It upstairs on the second floor of the red building. It's a very spacious, clean, and restrooms to the right of you! I would highly recommend this spot for date, family, or a chill night out (lighting is just right)!!!

I had the margarita and agree with what others have said - that is a delicious beverage! We then got the Beyaynetu (mixture of vegetable dishes) Doro Wot (stewed chicken). All were amazing, including the freshly fermented injera. The only thing I would suggest is to order a side of goat cheese (that comes with the chicken dish) if you order the spicy lentils -it helps to temper the spiciness (I'm a whimp). :)

**vegetarian review**…read more I went around 9pm and ordered the food. It just too super long to come - close to 45 mins which I didn't understand. The shiro was really nice, but I have also had nicer ones. The veggies were also good and filling. But it was not worth the wait time unfortunately. Maybe it was slow cause it was end of day?
