    Combo platter
    Courtney M.

    I love Ethiopian food. This place was okay. First it's a very dark ambiance in this establishment. Very dim lighting, not sure if they are going for a lounge type vibe or not but it's dim. We ordered the beef combo platter and sambusa. The sambusas were DELICIOUS. The combo platter comes with plenty of injera and I was quite happy with the amount of food on the platter. There were 3 types of beef, awaze tips, lentil, beef, delicious cabbage and salad. The combo platter was okay. Maybe the ambiance deterred the flavor :/ but it was just okay.

    Awaze Tibs! Great flavor! small portion for the rice!!

    I have mixed reviews about Ledet. The food quality was amazing, very tasty .... seasoned well .... however the portion size was disrespectful .... especially for the price. I ordered the (Chikina Awaze Tibs) filet mignon awaze tibs, and it was great! ... the issue was, instead of injera, I substituted it with rice .... and that was a big mistake. The portion size of the rice couldn't fill up a 5 year old. So basically I had so much Tibs and sauce with no rice to eat it with ... Keep in mind, I order from different Ethiopian restaurants all over Atlanta as I'm east african myself ... and their competitors give out amazing portions and are much cheaper! ( Embilta Cafe) for instance ... their portions are 3 times what Ledet gives, & it's cheaper!!!

    I had tried the more popular Ethiopian spot here in atl ( starts with a D) and was told it was commercialized and was recommended this place! Def was better and i will be back! I had leftovers and was so happy!

    Ledet Combo (Chicken)

    I found this eatery to be a non-lavish but quaint hole in the wall restaurant. The food was great and prices are about the same as other Ethiopian restaurants. I came in during lunchtime on a Tuesday. The restaurant was empty around 12:30 with a person trickling in here and there. But a little after 1pm it quickly filled ... native Ethiopians. Good sign! It is authentic in its dishes, staff and language. I ordered the Ledet Combo with chicken instead of beef. I was a little disappointed that they did not offer a combo plate with the usual veggies, beef, lamb and chicken. So, I ordered the beef combo and changed it to chicken with the exception of the ground beef which there was not substitute for. This combo was $15.99 and would've cost me an additional $5.00 to add a taste of lamb. It was delicious and enough food for 3 to 4 people in my opinion. Overall, the location was not the best. But the food was plentiful and delicious! if I'm ever in the area again during lunchtime I'll stop in again.

    Yum yum and then some.

    Ledet needs some boosting! I would never have known of this place if it wasn't for a good friend who is Ethiopian. We just started a Sunday Supper Club and this was the first stop since a few in our group had never had Ethiopian. She highly recommended this location because it reminded her of home. That's all I needed to know. The sweet and hospitable owner of Ledet (one of the first, if not the first person to introduce Ethiopian to the metro area) laid out a tasty spread for us. Miser wot (red lentils), kik alcha (yellow lentils), fosolia (green beans w/carrots and potato), tofu be gomen (minced collard greens and tofu), derek tibs (beef), lega tibs (beef), yasa tibs (tilapia), salad and awaze (sauce). Aside from the meat options, I had a bit of everything and it was all so delicious! Of course, there was injera as well which is the bread staple that is used to eat your food with. There is no silverware when it comes to Ethiopian dining - you tear off some injera and use it to pick (pinch) your food up. We were all so stuffed and content with our meal. My favorites were the yasa tib, greens and fosolia. What I love about Ethiopian food is the abundance of spice! So many fantastic flavors going on. I'd be intimidated going here for a first time without a chaperone to help guide me but the staff was great about explaining things and catering to dietary needs. (vegan/vegetarian dishes, gluten-free injera) Per the other review, venturing on your own may not yield the same results but the food is worth a shot. The location was a bit tricky to find but they are off of Memorial Drive before you reach Rockbridge. You will think you are lost or venturing into questionable territory - just keep going.

    Yummy

    I tried this place because my daughter live there food. My experience was interesting, because I like to try new things. It was a cozy little spot, the food and service was good. Would I go back? Yes. I did enjoy myself, but only in the day time. It's way back in a corner of a strip mall.

    Awaze Tibs was banging and my brother enjoyed the vegetable combo !!!!!!! I would order over and over again. So flavorful and not too spicy. I paid $14 and it didn't even come with a drink. Sheesh. However, they're open really late. Trying to feed myself and a vegan around 10PM is a bit of a challenge at times. Our food took no longer than 20 minutes. They provided us with more than enough injera for our meal. I wish the exterior of the building was just as visually pleasing as the inside but that's just my opinion. Overall I'm pleased with the food and I'll bring my dad a few friends next time.

    This is a restaurant and bar . This spot is not for beginners to eating Ethiopian food. You have to know what you what here. The staff will not help you chose a dish or explain the menu to you. The waitress don't speak much English . The food is good here but their not that social or friendly with Americans . This is why I could only give them 3 star.The restaurant hours are 11am- 12am and even later on the weekends . You may even catch a live performance on some Friday nights .

    Veggie combo with fish goulash. 2 dishes in one.

Today we finally went, and the experience exceeded expectations! The food was excellent and the staff were helpful and answered my questions about the food and helped me and my wife decide what to get. The combo platter is a great option for trying out several different meats and veggies and it does not break the bank. There was plenty of food for 2. The building was nicely appointed and the convenient hand washing station made the experience of eating primarily with your hands much less messy than one might think. As a person who is not very good with spicy heat, there were still so many foods that I could eat without my face melting. The dry spice mix and the dipping sauces were too spicy for me, but it did not matter, as the food had plenty of seasoning and flavor packed into it already. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other offerings!

We told him what kind of food we like and our spice levels and he ordered everything for us. I got the Doro tips (chicken tips) with rice, my husband got the Shekla which was beef or steak and his coworker got the Shiro (fish & salmon). I don't normally eat Salmon but the Shiro was really good. It had a-lot of flavor to it. We shared everything and got to experience eating the Injera that is used as a plate and utensil. Everything was delicious. The customer service was superior. We could tell his coworker comes here often as everyone was friendly towards him and the owner even came over to our table so we were able to share our first time great experience with her. My husband's coworker wanted us to try some tea/coffee after our meal but we were both stuffed. We look forward to coming back and will hopefully save room for tea to conclude our meal.

    I had gone down (by Uber) to Atlanta Vintage Books for the afternoon to lounge in their chairs and…read moreread books, soak up the culture and enjoy their resident cats. I had not eaten before I left and after several hours there, I was HUNGRY. Because I had taken Uber, I asked the lady at the counter where was the closest restaurant within walking distance. She directed me across the street - just a hop skip and a jump from the bookstore. to Jebena Bistro. Never having eaten Ethiopian food, I decided to give it a try. As "Noelle" to the right, said, it's a little "hole in the wall". From the outside, it's nothing to write home about. But as soon as I walked in, I knew I was going to enjoy it. First of all, the lady that waited on me was so kind and welcoming. I asked her for her recommendations and she suggested several things. I ended up choosing the vegetable platter. When she brought it out, she explained to me that they eat with their hands. There was no silverware. She showed me the bread that they use to soak up the food with. It was made of a sponge-like substance and was rolled up. The platter was SO good. I quickly filled up and had to get a "to go" box which was filled with food. The amount of food I received for price I paid was ample. It easily made me a second meal at home. This wasn't a fancy place. But the food was very tasty and I will go back in the future.

Ruki's is located inside of Terminal South. When I went on a late Thursday afternoon it wasn't busy. There is free parking. Enter the door in the left and walk directly to the back and you'll find Ruki's. You have access to plenty of tables and chairs if you want to enjoy your meal there. The Asa Tibs (salmon) come with one side and injera or rice for $22. I had injera and cabbage. The meal was solid! Packed full of spices, well seasoned, and a very large portion. It was enough for two days of food so no complaint with the price. My food was ready when I arrived and handed to me by an employee who was very pleasant and welcoming. Spread the word and support this small business serving of Ethiopian food in Terminal South. I'm looking forward to trying more of their sides.

    Truly a 10 out of 10 experience. I've had my eye on Ruki's Kitchen for quite some time, back when…read morethey were doing pop-ups all over the city, so I was so excited to finally visit their brick-and-mortar location at Terminal South--the downtown food hall. Ruki's Kitchen checked all of my boxes. The service was absolutely delightful. I always appreciate when someone takes the time to walk you through the menu--not just listing ingredients, but sharing the story behind the dishes, how they're cooked, and what pairs well together. My first interaction was with Amin, who was so kind and patient while I took my time deciding (first visits can be overwhelming in the best way). I ultimately ordered the Sega Tibs with Tikei as my side. The meal came with injera rolls, and I also added the turmeric basmati rice. When I tell you I kept saying "WOW" to myself with every bite... the flavors were so rich, warm, and perfectly seasoned. I've had Ethiopian food once before, but honestly--nothing like this. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Ali, who was incredibly friendly and hands-on. You can tell he's deeply involved behind the scenes, putting so much care and flavor into every dish. There were so many tempting items on the menu, and I already know I'll be back within the next few weeks. I noticed they have wings--and wings are absolutely the way to my heart. Based on how well-seasoned and flavorful my meal was, I already know those wings are going to be off the chain. Highly recommend. This spot is something special.
