The vegetarian lentils were well prepared. The pleasant decor was interesting and it was quite busy on an Friday night. A good option from the ordinary in Mannheim.

They even subbed out okra for spinach for me, no questions asked, and all the people sitting in the restaurant were regulars! The vibe of the restaurant was really nice too, with the perfect music to accompany your meal. Seriously couldn't have asked for a better night out. I would eat here repeatedly if I could!

Highly recommend! We were able to make a reservation online but ended up just sitting at the bar,…read morecuz the vibe was right. Based off recommendations I got from friends, we started with the lamb sambusas and then had the 2 person platter. I got a glass of red wine and my husband tried the African beer. The beer was served in a wooden bowl! The food itself was so good. I wanted to eat my weight in the sambusas - they were spiced so nicely! The 2 person platter was great - we were taught how to eat using the injeria instead of a fork and knife (we were provided cutlery if we didn't want to eat the traditional way). All of it was so good, but I did get a couple of bites of meat with some gristle. We then got a dessert - the black rice witb mango sauce. My husband was so full, he planned to only have one bite. He ate half! Can't wait to return - we'll be trying the vegan platter next

Great food, great service. If it is your first time here or at an African place, you can ask them…read morefor tips. They had shareable table size platters but we got the individual ones on their recommendation. The spicy chicken one isnt spicy but a nice saucy well cooked chicken side dolloped in heaps on your injera (the crepe that you eat everything with). The lentils are excellent. Also got a kohl potato veg mix. The family running/serving the place is super nice:)

3.5 stars. I love…read moreEritrean/Ethiopian food, so when I heard that there is an Eritrean restaurant in HD, I had to tried. The ambience is nice. There were African decorations throughout the place and African-themed paintings on some walls, and the orange walls give the place a warm feel. Definitely suitable for groups of friends or for a date. Unfortunately, the service was very spotty. We often had to wait (to get menu, to order, to pay), and I notice the server (possibly owner?) was just taking care of bigger dining groups before coming to us. Then whenever we got his attention, it was short-lived, but on a slightly better note, he did apologize for the delay. We ordered a 4-dish vegetarian platter with mushrooms (Kantischa), spinach (Hamli Spinat), red lentils (Tumtumo Brsen), and potato curry (Alicha) as well as Kulwa Berai (sautéed beef with peppers and onions in a tomato-based sauce), both served with injera. The vegetarian platter was all good and tasty, but I was hoping for more flavors with the beef dish. I would probably go back on a less busy day.

Sowohl die Fleisch- wie auch die veganen bzw. vegetarischen Gemüsegerichte waren von ausgezeichneter Qualität und perfekt gewürzt, nicht zu scharf aber auch nicht zu mild. Der empfohlene Wein, ein Syrah aus Südafrika, passte perfekt dazu. Man isst übrigens wie traditionell in Afrika mit den Fingern indem man das Gemüse oder Fleisch mit kleinen Stückchen vom Fladenbrot, dem Injeera, aufnimmt. Aber wer lieber mit Besteck essen möchte, der darf das natürlich auch. Der Service war freundlich und humorvoll, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und empfehlen das Restaurant gerne weiter. Aber bitte einen Tisch reservieren, das Lokal ist zu Recht beliebt und gut besucht.

As a world traveller, I love different ethnic cuisines. Ethiopian is in my top three. As a native…read moreFrankfurter, I love exploring my birth city's restaurants. Therefore, I discovered this hidden treasure years ago. (Before that I tried a couple of other similar venues in the city and was disappointed.) I first learned about Ethiopian food in Atlanta, GA in the early 80's while attending university. Good versions and bad versions. Since then I have experiences both in diverse places such as Boston, NYC, St.Paul (MN), Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, Houston, Paris (F), Rome (I), Berlin (D), and some cities I don't remember. Lalibela in Frankfurt is one on the top 5 restaurants. The food is authentic and flavorful. Both veggie and meat dishes. (Many times only the meats are spicy and the veggies are bland.) Plus the owners are a true delight. Friendly, cheerful, they showcase their culture. We were just back yesterday with my best friend from college in Atlanta. She has been living in Hamburg for decades. I had not seen her for over 30 years. She came to Frankfurt to meet up with us while we were in Germany. I offered her several different cuisine options and she wanted Ethiopian. She loved all of it. Nostalgic flavors. Authentic smells. Plus the amazing hosts! We will always call me back.

We were on a European tour and on our last night we stayed in Frankfurt Germany. Initially we…read moresought German cuisine but didn't find anything that interested us. A google search gave us LaLiBeLa Ethiopian food. None of us had ever tried that before so decided to give it a go. The place is very clean and comfortable. The owner was serving us and she was one of the nicest people you could ever ask to meet. One of us has very specific dietary needs and she went out of her way to make something that fit the bill. She succeeded! If you're in Frankfurt and want to try something different and delicious, you won't be disappointed if you give LaLiBeLa a try!
