Terrible Service…read more We came on a Monday night and there were three tables with people seated. We ordered the meat selection and the fried mushrooms and collard greens. The food was tasty (though the mushrooms were not fried but sautéed and the meats were dry and the portions tiny). But the service killed the night. We asked TWICE for wine that never came and the waitress just sat in the kitchen without bringing us drinks. Suuuuuuuper creepy. Then she added ten percent to my $46 euro bill on the visa machine. Tip? Surcharge? No idea. Never going back. Just terrible.

But, that said, since I'm writing here, I guess I prefer Lalibela over the other two. Azifa, Meser Wot and tomato salad were as expected, as was the Shiro.... and I've been to Ethiopia more than several times. On the other hand, the Sega Alecha Wot was fabulous, IMHO. Begwot was delicious (yes I love lamb dishes), but don't be a moron and ask for it Ethiopian hot, white-boy Yankee spicy was more than enough for me. LOL. And of course, as we have to have everywhere, the Doro Wot was spot on! Note, make sure you take someone that has never had Ethiopian food, and watch them try and find the fork when the food arrives!!

It is a small restaurant but worth the wait. The coconut beer is so unique. Everything he put on our plate was devoured.

It boasts plenty of Ethiopian restaurants. We tried out this one within easy walking distance of our hotel. We were the first diners that Friday evening - not that early birds. We both opted for the vegetarian combo platter, which came with a side of injera and a mound of cheese in the middle (so Dutch!). Really great spot for dinner!

They have fun flavored beers and honey wine! The staff is great - service was excellent. It was too hot for us to sit outside so we had the inside all to ourselves. It seems to get busy during dinner hours so you might need a reservation, but we went around 5:30 and walked right in. For dessert, try their ice cream! I had the coconut ice cream served in half of a coconut - it was amazing.

When we came in we were with small children and they arranged a more quite place upstairs. The children had enough space to play and there were even some toys (under the stairs downstairs). This, very child friendly! We ordered a mix of all kinds of dishes with the 8 of us and were able to taste a bit of everything. And for me Ethiopian food does not go without a banana beer. Very nice! The price was a bit more expensive than other Ethiopian restaurants I have visited (in Amsterdam), but still very affordable. Besides that a true experience worth the have!

We're on a mission to try all of the Ethiopian places in Amsterdam. I'm excited to highlight the…read moreincredible service we experienced here! Our server was kind, attentive, and he remembered that we had initially inquired about being able to sit outside (which is usually first come, first served) so he asked us if we wanted to move outdoors when a table became available. Also, our server ensured that the food was made with no dairy because I am lactose intolerant! We ordered the tebsia, which is lamb baked in berbere, and also the vegetarian combination sampling platter. The food came out fresh and everything was delightful- we loved the injera. I also felt that it was thoughtful of them to split the combo dishes into two sides so that it was easier for both of us to reach our food. Make sure to make a reservation beforehand, as this place gets super packed!

They boast an array of island flavors at very affordable prices that make it seem like a complete steal for university students. I was roaming around the city and decided to take a stab at Tokoman. Inside feels like a Chinese takeout restaurant with everything situated on heating trays. They offer a great lunch special where you can get a sandwich which consists of your meat of choice squished between a baguette for as low as €5. I opted for a sandwich plus the Surinamese egg roll which was GIGANTIC and clearly a meal made for itself. Food was decent at beast but you do get a lot of bang for your buck. If you're with friends, you'll likely be able to try more of their options since you wouldn't get full off just one dish. Overall, it's a good spot to grab an easy take-out lunch but I'd opt for a more sit-down homey restaurant if you really want to enjoy this type of cuisine.
