I have been wanting to try Ethiopian food for a few years now ever since my wife brought gave me some leftovers over 4 years ago. 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! read more

We have been wanting to try Ethiopian food but wanted to make sure we went to an authentic restaurant so my husbands coworker who is from Ethiopia brought us to his favorite restaurant. 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. read more

I really enjoyed the platter as we got to try different types of meats and veggies! The chickpeas, lentils, beef were all good. We also got goat with was tender and tasty. The sides weren't too memorable, so I'd just stick with the flavorful mains. It felt authentic and the server was very helpful too. Lots of parking outside and seating inside. read more

Rude service the food is not quality for the price they asking use cheap ingredients.

I've been to a couple Ethiopian restaurants here in Atlanta and Washington. This restaurant is up there in my top 5 list I love the sambusa. Though it took slightly longer to arrive, we weren't disappointed. If was freshly made. The wrap was thin, crispy and not oily. You can taste that it was fried when an order is made. We also ordered the Ledet Combo with lamb. We didn't have to wait for too long. When it came, we were presented with a very colorful plate. Each of the vegetables were delicious. There were 3 ways our lamb was done - ground medium and spicy. I loved them all. Can't decide which meat tastes better. Same for the veg. I think I need to go back to try again so that I can be doubly sure. Parking is easy. They took over a car sales lot, therefore lots of parking available. read more

there are so rude . I went to try new food but I was confuse of the menu and they were rude to me. I would never come back I give the 2 start cause the food was ok but service was bad . read more

Waited 30 minutes with no one coming to even check on drinks. Then was dismissive as we were leaving. Guess they don't serve FBAs.

First time trying Ethiopian food for many of my friends and I! We were pleasantly surprised by all of the flavors and were glad we came to Ledet since it was a great first experience overall :D We ordered the Beef combo (2 ppl), the Kikil (stewed lamb) and lentil samosas. Though they say the combos are only for 2 ppl, depending on other things you get, it could feed 3-4ppl. I would pass on the lentil samosas next time and maybe try the beef or chicken. It's quite pricey for only 2 pieces :/ The pastry was so crispy but the filling was dry and flavorless. The beef was tender and flavorful in the combo and everything was cooked well. The chickpea side dish was a fan favorite so highly recommend getting this. The kikil was cooked perfectly but it is more of a bland dish so I would pass on this next time. read more

This was me and my sisters first time at Ledet. Our waitress, Lele, was very welcoming and attentive. We went during lunch time; I had the lamb tip wrap it was juicy and flavorful with the ledet fries also hot and tasty. My sister had the fried whole fish with a side salad (house dressing) that she really enjoyed. I plan to make this a regular spot, can't wait to take my husband! read more

Me and my wife went on a date night and chose somewhere new, Ledet was referred to me by co-workers at the airport. The food was outstanding, full of flavor and made to order and affordable. Our server Lei lei, was helpful in explaining the dishes and how they didn't use forks, it was their custom not to use forks but gave them if needed. We were amazed at the portion size and will definitely come back and enjoy ourselves again. read more

Five stars for the amazing flavorful food! Service was slow, our server was friendly but a bit forgetful when it came to ordering drinks. Overall the food was awesome and my table was absolutely stuffed with happiness. I believe we ordered the veggie combo and addited shiro and lamb tibs as well as the raw meat (and cooked). I highly recommend everything! read more

The building is aesthetically appealing to the eye upon arrival which is nice. Upon entering the inside is beautiful and peaceful. We were greeted with a smile. Our server did not take long to come for our drink orders. She explained the best options for what we were wanting for our first experience here. The food was DELICIOUS . It reminded me of the food a friend of mine would fix for us! The presentation of our meals was pretty and I hate that I didn't get a picture. We said our grace and started to eat. I'll snap a pic of what was left before we boxed it and . Our server was Hana so be sure to tell her the coffee couple sent ya! But be good to her! read more

If you love Ethiopian food, you must visit Ledet. Went in on a Sunday night and it was not too busy, so we were sat right away. The server, Yanet, came over and got our drunk order along with our appetizer and food order all at once, Which I loved! Everything came out as it should though, drinks first and appetizer next and then entree after. Once the entree was placed, she did also offer some honey wine, which we opted for a glass to taste. It was delicious and I recommend ordering it. The food came out hot and with such a preste presentation. Most of the food items have a spicy kick to them....just a tip in case you don't like spicy. Everything was so flavorful and the food was so plentiful that we had leftovers to take home. They do have a large parking lot so plenty of parking when you arrive and the parking is free. The restaurant on the inside is very spacious and clean. There is music playing that is just the right volume to have background noise but still enjoy a conversation. read more

This is by far our favorite Ethiopian restaurant. The atmosphere matches the time of day, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the food is delicious. They've recently added to their vegan options, and we couldn't be happier! They even catered our wedding! read more

The food was amazing. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because we were there for a total of 3 hours. The service wasn't that great.

Always got good service there and the food is always on point,,, There is always Honey wine in stock as opposed to other spots have been to where sometimes they claim there is no Honey wine in stock,,, read more

This place is amazing. Food, service, and atmosphere was worth coming back for. I truly see myself coming back and bringing my friends and family. Our server Haldana was super sweet and she ensured that we enjoyed our first experience of having Ethiopian food. read more

I grow up here in Clarkston and LOVE Ethiopian food and its culture. I've learned to cook Ethiopian food growing up with my friends here throughout elementary and high school., my favorite place to eat was the original l" Ledet" restaurant next to DeKalb College. The restaurant was small yet full of culture and offered authentic Ethiopian cuisine. I brought the family out to this new location on Memorial Drive and was highly disappointed . When I walked into the restaurant, I was not greeted by anyone.. they do have a hostess stand but we stood there looking around for about 2 to 3 minutes, I had to flag a lady at the bar.We were then quickly approach by a young lady, who was welcoming . I do apologize that I do not remember her name. She seated us and let her know that we were regulars of the old location and knew exactly what we wanted to feast on.. After picking out the lentils and veggies, we wanted, she quickly brought over my drinks and Tej( honey wine) that was ordered. There were tables that was there before, but we noticed that after being seated within 10 minutes we received our food which was a bit odd because there were people there. I honestly feel we were stereotypes because we were American descent . The food that we received was straight out of the refrigerator and was on a single serving plate. She did apologize for the cold food left, and went into the kitchen and came back with only the lentil that I allowed her to touch in a plate in spoons to remove the kernels off our platter and replace it with the one red lentil. At this point, I rage, my daughter and I looked at each other and shook our heads at that moment it had been confirmed that we were being discriminated against and treated differently because we were American. When this happened, I expressed the waitress still very kindly, but she can tell by my facial expression and my daughter's face that we were extremely unhappy. by this time, the platter with the fish came out that my son was the only one who wanted to eat begin to indulging yes it was hot and fresh. my son, we asked her to please pack up the food to go. She looked very disappointed, but she understood that we were upset at that point.. nothing we paid full price for everything and didn't eat a thing except for the whole fried fish that was cooked to order like everyone else's food in the restaurant was served fresh and warm . The veggie platter that we received was refrigerator cold and tasteless. It had no spice or seasoning as if we could not handle or knew the cuisine.. I also noticed that other people ( Ethiopian ) coming into the restaurant were not given these. " new " menus that we were given. Which we didn't even need..... I remember one of the original owners at the old location was a thin, dark female . She never treated us like this, and it is very obvious that she has nothing to do with this new location because she would not stand for it... needless to say my family and I were highly disappointed, felt disrespected, and would not be back. The original " Ledit" was a staple for the Ethiopian community in Clarkston no matter where you originated from or was born, but I cannot say that is the same for this new location and owners . So getting to the point would I recommend this restaurant? , only if you are from Ethiopia or Ethiopian descent. You may enjoy it and make it different service that I was not able to experience. If you are a lover of the Ethiopian culture and cuisine but are not Ethiopian. You may get the same experience that I had.. the service that I received was mediocre from the service because she chose not to ask if it was our first time and she did not pay attention to me. Explain it to her that I understood the food in the culture authentic cuisine... the food that I receive was awful compared to what I know this restaurant name produces, the ambience the restaurant was beautiful. I love the new location itself, but I disagree with the handling of customers as they enter the restaurant.. a tip for the new owners, welcome all guests in your restaurant! Get to know them find out what they know so that you can offer them the best dinning experience That originally, my family and I fell in love with at the old location. . So after we noticed what was happening to us, I didn't pick up a fuss or fight. I asked the waitress for my check .I allowed my son to eat his fish and we paid FULL price and lift. read more
