Temtumo
Corinne B.

This dish, temtumo, is a lentil dish, yet different. The spices smell wonderful and give heat that you feel, but not overpowering. The injera contrasts with the lentils and tames the heat. The tang of the injera is good-basically, an Ethiopian sourdough flatbread. Good service. The only thing I would want to change is that it would be nice if it was served a bit warmer and less lukewarm-nothing that a trip to the microwave can't fix, but just something to note. Nice to see something different among the food trucks. Great vegetarian dish! Would have again. This is a unique food truck that you have to try at least once in your life!

I tried Makeda's for the very first time during a unique circumstance. It was during the Juneteenth Celebration at Alton Park. They were slammed with hungry attendees so the wait for the food was longer than it would be normally. That experience is not what I am reviewing today. My review is solely of the food, which was fantastic! You can tell that they take great pride in serving high quality of food, taking their time perfecting each dish. I ordered their Alecha. A vegetarian dish made up of cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. Every component of the vegetables were made beautifully and the textures perfect. But the star of the show was the Injera. Oh the Injera! It was so tasty and you can tell it was just freshly prepared. A fermented flatbread with a delightful tang and a satisfying spongy texture combined with a subtle crunch. Thank you for bringing the joys of Ethiopian cuisine to the Eugene area. Definitely a great addition to the food truck community.

Dorho Wot

Such an interesting flavors and some really cool choices. I want to try everything but I started with probably their most popular. This chicken dish have some good space. The steamed bread it's very filling. Do you have the option to get it with rice but I highly suggest this traditional version. Super friendly service and convenient location.

So glad to have this place! Simple menu, but options available for all dietary needs. I can't eat dairy or soy at the moment, so I was happy to be able to order the Alecha vegan dish, which seems free of most other major allergens. They do not cook with soybean/vegetable oil, which is appreciated. I had to wait about 20 minutes for my food because it was a little busy, but the owner was really friendly and everything was packed up well. My food was really tasty despite being vegan. My husband had the doro wat and enjoyed it, and I was able to order an additional injera for $1.

Temtumo and Veggie Sambusa

I've heard many great things about Makedas that I had to try it. The food was good. The temtumo was very lemon-y, but the sambusas were great! I would come back to try a different Ethiopian dish next time.

Finally an authentic, fresh and delicious Ethiopian place in Lane County!!! Hope this place is here to stay. Perfect spice on the beef and injera wasn't super sour (like some other places around town). Can't wait to try the veggie dishes. Soooo happy to have found this place!!

Temtumo (red lentils, caramelized onions, ginger, garlic). Topped with capers from my fridge.

Ethiopian food was a hit! Well flavored red lentil dish called Temtumo. Flavor was perfect with the added spices from the garlic, ginger, and caramelized onions. The injera flatbread was super spongy and complements the heat from the lentil dish. Do yourself a favor and get a side of crispy wontons (sambusa) for a dollar. These babies are deep fried lentils with a nice crisp to change up the soft texture from the rest of your meal. Kudos to having vegan friendly options & kudos to the sweet owner's wife. Having good vegan food always wins me over and service is a cherry on top I'll be back to try Alecha next time!

How nice to bring home some delicious vegan Ethiopian/Eritrean food! The spinach was sensational. I just finished dinner, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Injera

This place was amazing!! So good we might delay our trip to Bend in the morning so that we can eat here again! We ordered the Beef tibs and the Dhoro wot with injera. So,so good. The lady who was at the window was also super friendly. I will say that the level 4 spice wasn't as spicy as I though it would be. I like really spicy though. The Dhoro wot was phenomal and I'll probably dream about that flavored, spiced, simmered deliciousness. Highly recommend!

A vegetable samusa! The order came with more, but we forgot to take a pic until there was only one left. So good--puffy and crispy.

I came in here with a friend earlier tonight to grab dinner. This place is highly recommended by my…read morefriend, who was born in the Philippines. So he's actually an expert in authentic food. The two working were both very kind and helpful. I know nothing, literally nothing, about Filipino food. So I asked if any of it had seafood in it, as I don't eat seafood. The answer was no, so I just picked one of the four options, and pointed to the picture. I always feel like an idiot when I have to point at something to order it, but the woman taking my order reached out the window to point at the same one so we were on the same page. She was very accommodating to me and I appreciate that. I'm still not entirely sure what I ate, but it was delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Prices were pretty decent too. I am full and still get to take some home to my husband. Ambiance is a food truck pod on River Road that I'd never been to before. It is bigger than I expected, with several other nearby trucks that I want to try. Would I return? Yes! Definitely yes. This friend has never steered me wrong when it comes to finding amazing small local business to support, and this is a great one. I'll definitely come back again. Review 32 of 2025.

Covid19 review …read more.. Easley Does It is still open for takeout. Woohoo! They JUST brought back their elotes which are ridiculously delicious. I instantly regretted saying I'd share one with my daughter. I tasted the sweet corn, spices, and cheese and immediately wanted to take the other half a cob off her plate. Bad mom. I know! This quarantine makes a mama hungry! My daughter and husband also shared strawberry dessert tacos and judging by how quickly they disappeared I'd say they were also of elotes caliber. I have an allergy to strawberries so I can't personally review BUT if they're anywhere near as tasty as their cinnamon apple tacos you won't be disappointed. Support your local favorite restaurants now so we can enjoy them freely soon! I'm looking forward to enjoying a WHOLE serving of elotes, at a picnic table, with a cider, in the sunshine SOON! :) Stay healthy, friends.

But he agrees they were delicious! I had the taco trio which for $10 you get one of each of their tacos. My favorite was the pork belly taco followed by the tri tip and the alaskan cod. The pork belly was so tender and perfectly caramelized! The mango/peach salsa made my eyes roll back. The pickled onions gave the perfect acidic touch to the sweetness of the salsa and the savoriness of the pork belly. I loved that each taco was hefty. Each taco had a generous amount of toppings and sauces without overshadowing the protein. It makes you feel healthy while also indulging. It's truly well balanced. Each topping had a purpose. Please try them out and take a second to talk to them! Very sweet people!
