A wonderful addition to the neighborhood! This is a coffee shop AND an Ethiopian grocer. While I know nothing about Ethiopian ingredients, they DO carry Injera so I am very happy (Injera is a soft, Ethiopian flatbread.) Mojo, the coffee shop – very modern, upscale look. Nice sitting area with a TV and comfy chairs, along with regular tables and chairs. Their coffee is from the Denver-based Kaladi coffee, as well as an Ethiopian roast. They make most drinks with Kaladi’s dark roast, I think that the Ethiopian is more of a medium roast and ordered for an espresso shot or cappuccino. BUT! I give Mojo a whole bunch o’ stars because they carry about 5 sugar-free syrups! Woo hoo! On my second visit (in three days) I ordered a drip coffee with sugar-free white chocolate and it was so good, and fairly guilt free! So, if you want a good cup of coffee, a great place to work with a wonderful atmosphere – come on over to the south side of the metro area and visit Mojo’s Coffee!

Amy’s Merkato – Menu with Prices – 5710 Rainier Ave S, Seattle

Amy’s Merkato is an excellent Ethiopian restaurant as well as small market that contains all sorts of wonderful things that await the customer. The woman behind the counter was One of the owners and she was so helpful and polite. I specifically came here to find the spices for making Ethiopian tea and not only did they have the spice mix at a reasonable price, but they also had Ethiopian black tea! I’m so I bought the spices and the tea as well as a few other items. The smell market area also has some Ethiopian coffee as well as snacks, spices and even sone Ethiopian kitchenware, including coffee sets for the Ethiopian tea Ceremony. The selection is not huge but they also have injera if you want to purchase some and take it home. I bought an Ethiopian tea while I was waiting and examining the spices. The owner told me that there was no star anise in the mix I purchased because many people complained about the licorice taste, but she added some in for me at no extra cost. I’m a fan of anise and I also wanted the tea to taste as it did in Ethiopia. Just so you know, when I got home I made the tea and took just a little bit of the spices and put them in a mortar and pestle and then added them to the tea. Wow, the tea was perfect! I also decided to get a meat and veggie sampler for lunch to go and it was perfect. Not only was there a lot but I also was given more than enough injera, the Ethiopian bread to go with it. I also recommend that you try some of their deserts. The baklava was great! Superb tea, great food, excellent dessert and fantastic service. I give this place five stars! Please check this place out and make sure you get a tea!

Fasika Cafe Menu with Prices 51 Roxbury St, Boston

As a Eritrean American , who came to the states in early eighties, when literally zero Habesha restaurants existed. Now you have Eritrean & Ethiopian restaurants practically at every corner in Boston ..Yes Sir!! I was very excited to frequent This establishment. There were s bunch of Eritreans , customers that is and the workers.well much love!.. The service was somewhat slow, but my waitress was hospitable. I parked across the street..in a secure parking lot 2 hour limit (Free).. can’t go wrong there… I ordered lega tibs(lamb)..but came with no side veggies..which was very disappointing. It came with lentil (very little)and the lamb was over cooked and very watery..injera was scarce..only received half of injera….could’ve used more. Overall.. the folks there were very nice.. I will surely re visit this establishment and would highly recommend it to my friends & family. -Samson Oh, they don’t accept American Express

Hawwi Ethiopian Restaurant Menu with Prices 1125 Queen St, Alexandria

A solid 3 and 1/2 stars. The good – This place is spacious, has air conditioning and looks clean, it looks more like a fine dining Ethiopian restaurant. They provide bottled water, which I appreciated. Most of the food we tasted had a good level of spice to it and tasted fresh. The green chutney provided, was much appreciated. The lady that brought our food to us was very welcoming. The bad – our male waiter bearly spoke to us, only to take orders, most of the time he was around the back. The portions could have been better with our combi 4 platter we got small portions of two beef dishes, and 2 small portions of veg. dishes (which we could choose) I chose red lentils and potatoes and cabbage. I enjoyed the red lentil, but the potatoes and cabbage was bland. They were also miserly with the injera, previously when I’ve ordered combo platters at other Ethiopian restaurants, they put a full injera with dishes on top then also provide you with another injera cut up on the side. With this platter they put the dishes on a quarter piece of injera and provided one on a separate plate, then charged you $2 for each additional one you ordered, so felt a little duped The ugly – the chocolate cake we ordered for dessert was definitely not fresh, it was shop brought, it tasted way too sweet and dry and definitely not worth the $5 we paid. Overall I would say, this place is expensive for what you get. I’ve tasted better quality Ethiopian food for the price, at other restaurants in DC.

Addis Ababa Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 465 Dundas St, London

First time trying Ethiopian food, and I specifically chose this place because I’ve heard amazing things about it! The restaurant was quite empty when we arrived (and stayed empty throughout), and the server was super attentive throughout. She’s the daughter of the owner, and I heard from her that all the embellishments and decorations inside are authentically Ethiopian! She offered extremely friendly service, and was always kind and accommodating. My friend and I ordered the vegetarian/vegan combination platter, as we figured the best way to try Ethiopian food would be to go all in and get the most variety the first time! When the platter arrived, we were overblown by the sheer size and presentation of it. The server very kindly explained all the different dishes, and we received unlimited injera bread to eat with the food. It was an unreal experience! My personal favourite was the squash with hot sauce (unfortunately, I couldn’t remember the names, and this dish wasn’t on the menu!), and a close second was the stir fried green beans. All the flavours were so complex and distinct! For instance, you could taste the subtle sourness of the injera bread, the sweetness of the squash piercing through the hotness of the spices, the texture of the lentils and chickpeas… it was so homey and simply amazing! We were so stuffed by the end of it that we couldn’t even finish the first plate of injera, and had to pack the leftovers for the next day. We then ended our meal with Ethiopian coffee – which, in itself, was an experience! The server came out with a pan, roasting the coffee beans right in front of us. It smelled like popcorn, but much stronger and more aromatic. We then received two separate small jugs with a cute and delicate cup/plate. The coffee was taken black, with only some sugar on the side (to be added according to preferences). Don’t be fooled by the size of the jug – there was actually a lot of coffee inside (we couldn’t even finish it all). The coffee is very strong, but very aromatic as well. It’s very smooth, but there’s the definite and unmistakable acidity that cuts to your senses. Overall, a delightful experience, and I would highly recommend you come should you get the chance!

Sora Ethiopian Market, Cafe, Menu with Prices 5145 Duke St, Alexandria

This is the ONLY place I go for Ethiopian food on days when I do not feel like preparing it at home. The food is fresh, authentic, traditional, and absolutely delicious! The owners, Addis and her husband are so sweet, kind, beautiful people and they give you the option to have Ethio injera fresh delivered from Ethiopia, or you can get your food served with American injera. This is one of the cleanest, spotless restaurants I have ever been to in my life! (They have a Health Score of 98 out of 100) This cleanliness is very VERY important to me. Also, their food is prepared / cooked by Ethiopians the traditional way, NOT cooked by underpaid latino staff members, like another Ethiopian restaurant in the area (you know who you are) The location is easy and convenient to get to, in a safe neighborhood on busy Duke street, which makes it very easy to find. They are open from 10 am – 9 pm, so if you want the BEST Ethiopian cuisine in the DMV, I urge you to get to SORA Ethiopian Restaurant TODAY!

Desta’s Ethiopian Cuisine – Menu with Prices – 13475 Switzer Rd, Overland Park

Totally sweet hole in the wall! It’s humble facade next to a Papa Murphy’s hides this gem of a place. A must try. You are met with a simple yet inviting decor. I think it is was the owner who took care of us on a rather slow week night. Because we were the only ones there, I might have been a bit worried. But I was soon assured when we were seated, and I found myself struggling to decide between amazing looking dishes. I ended up going with a modestly spicey beef option (can’t recall which one but I don’t think you can go wrong), collards, and lentils. My wife had lamb which was delicious (again, can’t remember which) and red lentils. We were given an additional pile of yellow lentils to try at no charge. We tend to eat gluten free and though they didn’t have any gluten free injera ready, they made some for us fresh. Very cool. Their injera is only the second I’ve ever had, but I liked it better than Blue Nile’s at the Rivermarket. All I can say is that the meal was fantastic. If you’ve never had Ethiopian food before, it’s a great experience to eat with your hand first of all. Love being forkless. Second, the seasoning, which I love, is earthy and comforting and might surprise you if you’ve never had north African food. For dessert, we had some baklava and the full on “traditional” coffee service. Pretty neat if you like VERY strong coffee (and I do). No room for wimps here. They roast the beans, bring them out and wave them around to get you excited by the smell, leave them on the table to drive you further nuts with the aroma, and then they make the coffee. Kind of expensive, but it’s the experience you’re paying for. And I didn’t mind. Overall, service was great and prices fair. You gotta go there!

Almaz Ethiopian Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 6030 State St, East Petersburg

We’ve enjoyed Ethiopian food for many years, the experience is fun finger food and always unique in that the combination of flavors are unexpected if you hadn’t experienced this cuisine before.We arrived on a Saturday late morning just as they were unlocking the front door. A small, clean dining room in an end of row houses, seating for about 20 Diners where we were warmly greeted and offered our choice of tables. Our order was taken and then I ventured around the dining room enjoying the artwork, lush houseplants and of course my fabulous reflection in the wall mirrors. Our hot tea was very nice, reminiscent of Constant Comment and they have various varieties of tea and coffee. Our food arrived on the traditional centrally located platter with Injera sour dough bread that I would call a tasty pancake with rolls of Injera arranged around the platter for picking up the bits of food. Ethiopian food is eaten by hand using the Injera to scoop up portions and it is much fun as well as delicious.My Wife ordered Yebeg Tips, lamb cubes seared with spices, tomato, onion & peppers. Her two sides were Salata, a romaine, jalapeno, avocado, and tomato salad with a cardamom dressing and Atikilt, a green bean and sautéed carrots with tomato and onion dish. I ordered the Yebeg Wat, Ethiopian leg of lamb stew in red sauce. My two sides were whole green lentils, slow cooked lentils with onion, garlic and jalapeno peppers and I too ordered the Atikilt.The Injera is wonderful, Iâ??ve been amazed how a few simple ingredients can produce a variety of flavors but Almazâ??s Injera was unique to me and wonderful. We both enjoyed our meals and because the food was served on the traditional central platter, they will serve meals separately upon request, both my Wife & I enjoyed each otherâ??s selections throughout the meal.My Wife chose their strawberry ice cream, from a Lancaster County Dairy, for desert. Iâ??m not much of a desert person so I held up the conversation while she enjoyed the rich IC.A very nice experience, very reasonably priced, very good service and the food will be praised in our household for days, whetting our appetites to return sooner rather than later. Their menu is on Face Book and they hold a Saturday Buffet once a month. The spices are exotic and wonderful but are tuned to the local Lancaster County taste where they do not approach blowing your head off. Mild but wonderful and sometimes unexpected is a good description.

9th Street Coffee – Tea – Olive Oils – Spices & Salts – Menu with Prices – 814 S 9th St 1st Floor, Philadelphia

I am so glad to have stumbled across this gem of South Philly. I saw the sign for free coffee, because they have two brews to sample every day. The owner is extremes knowledgeable about coffee. You can tell he’s a real community-driven guy trying to offer his passion and expertise to Philly. (I love these kinds of people, and if you are into tea check out Melange at pine and 11th for the tea version of this guy) They have an excellent assortment of gourmet beans, and I believe he said they roast them all in the back of the shop. The prices are better than Whole Foods and the coffee is better in my opinion. My first coffee is the Brazillian with a full city roast. I usually need milk and sugar with my coffee, but this one is excellent even without the sugar! They also offer a choice in what kind of bag you keep your coffee in. The best is the one with the airlock contraption that lets out excess gas, which I haven’t seen anywhere else. He told me if there was any problem, to come back and he’ll “make it right.” Not an empty promise, but a testament to his confidence in his beans. And I’ll definitely be scooping out every last ground. So glad this place exists. New life goal: try all their coffee.

Lone Pine Coffee Roasters Menu with Prices 910 NW Harriman St, Bend

Great little coffee shop that always gets a visit when I’m in Bend. friendly, knowledgeable staff with an investment made on quality gear (Mahlkonig grinders) They usually have at least one Ethiopian roast on hand. Espresso drinks are awesome, pour over is just OK. On two visits I’ve noticed flooded beds on the pour resulting on long extraction times. (this is purely subjective, might be perfect for others)

Maniâ??s Cafe & Market – Menu with Prices – 5320 Georgia Ave NW, Washington

Mani’s Cafe & Market is a small Ethiopian eatery and coffee shop, located off of Georgia. They offer coffees/hot/cold beverages, breakfast platters, sandwiches, and even housemade pastries (such as the sambusas). The hubs and I came here for a quick snack, and while I was super super super disappointed that they ran out of sambusas (it was stated that they run out within 30 minutes of opening!!!), we still decided to try some of their dishes. I had the Scrambled Eggs with tomato salsa and fir-fir (shredded injera bread spiced with clarified butter and berbere) – I really liked the scrambled eggs, as they were fluffy and filled with onions and bell peppers; seasoned quite well! The fir-fir was definitely one of the better fir-fir dishes I’ve had, as it wasn’t too soggy or wet, but had the perfect amount of spices. The hubs had the Tibs (sauteed beef, tomatoes, onions, and sliced jalapenos) – this was super delicious, as the beef strips were really tender and juicy; just note that this has quite a kick and those who are spice lovers will enjoy it (you can also customize the level of spiciness!)! A basket of extra injera rolls were given to scoop all the juices and the meats up. I also tried their Chai Latte – this was creamy and had a good amount of spices; really nice and soothing, and came in a pretty glass mug. Service was super friendly, and there are 5 tables inside to dine-in. I’d love to come back and try out their other coffee beverages as well as those sambusas! Great little local spot in the Petworth area ? +sambusas run out quick!!! :O +chai latte ? +traditional flavorful Ethiopian dishes ? +friendly staff ? +5 tables inside +free 2-hour resident parking off of Georgia

Cartel Coffee Lab Menu with Prices 1813 E 6th St, Austin

Clean cut, modern, minimalistic, millennial coffee shop bliss. I actually like the vibe of the coffee shop and love that you can find these newer coffee shops along with more eclectic and older ones in Austin. But I will say that this coffee shop did not impress. When I walked in, the barista behind the bar was talking to someone sitting on the couch (turns out it was the other barista on break) and I just got stares as I sat my stuff down before I ordered. I went up to order and I asked about the teas, the response to which was handing me their paper menu. There’s nothing wrong with this, but it is nice when employees can tell you about their menu items and maybe offer opinions to a first time customer who is unfamiliar with the place. I looked at the menu for a bit, but decided against tea (there were 4 options for hot tea and I believe 3 options for iced tea). I love cold brew, so I decided to go with that! They have 3 options for syrups – vanilla, agave, and something else that I forgot. I decided against syrup and to just get it plain jane. I was told there were 2 types to choose from- house and Ethiopian. I chose the Ethiopian and the price came out to $1 more the menu listed price. I asked about this and he said it’s the price – wish he mentioned it when explaining to me the differences between the 2. I got the house and it was good cold brew as expected. This place isn’t bad and I can’t speak for the other menu items. It’s in a nice spot on the east side close to lots of restaurants and bars (Whistler’s, Tamale House, Vixen’s Wedding, etc.) so it would probably make for a good pit stop on a weekend day or on a weekday before you hit up happy hour! I might come here again and give an update. Hoping for a more friendly welcome and excitement from the staff on my next visit. You can see the barista hunched over on his phone facing away from the door in my picture.

Embilta Cafe & Restaurant Menu with Prices 2100 Cheshire Bridge Rd NE, Atlanta

My favorite Ethiopian restaurant in the metro Atlanta area. Desta Ethiopian may be more well known but Embilta’s is your own Ethiopian mom’s home cooking. The lady running the business is sweet and lovely and doing an amazing job with the food and hospitality there. When you walk in, you can tell you’re going to an authentic establishment. The interior is tiny and quaint, an Ethiopian TV news channel plays quietly in the backdrop as you have a healthy mix of locals and obvious newcomers in the restaurant. Every once in a while the owner will pop through carrying tray after tray of delicious food. I fell in love with Ethiopian food eating at Embilta’s. The menu prices are the best out of all the Ethiopian restaurants in the area. Portions are also huge as well and all the sides are tasty and special by themselves. I usually get the Embilta Special Large, which is your basic spread of various meats, kitfo (raw beef), assorted vegetables, stewed legumes like chickpeas, all atop a large piece of authentic Ethiopian bread (injera). Ethiopian food may take a while to adjust to but I can promise you it’s delicious. The best way to describe it is it’s a mix between Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. You get a lot of the spices of Indian food in it as well as the roasted meats and cumin from Persian/Middle Eastern cuisine. Injera is unique in itself, my best way to describe it is that it has the texture and taste of a Chinese bao (the steamed bun) with a slight sour note to it. It takes a while to get used to it but now I’m addicted to it. Kitfo is another item that takes a while to get used to. In Ethiopia it’s typically served raw, but you can order it any prep level from raw to well done. In it’s raw form, it tastes like tuna tartare, a fine soft mouth feel and a rich beefy taste to it. I get it raw nowadays but try it rare or medium rare to get accustomed to the taste.
