We picked up a takeout lunch from Agelgil to enjoy outside on the first beautiful, glorious day of Spring in 2023, and the quality of the food was only matched by the amazing sunshine and warm weather.

Yes! This place has delicious food and good service. We got the veggie platter and it was great. We also got the tea/coffee combo which woke me right up. The restaurant itself is very clean and looks well put together. Highly recommend.

Our group of five was celebrating a birthday. We got two orders of sambusas, the vegetarian platter and the Agelgil platter. It was a lot of food. The only complaint was no wine or beer list printed out, and there was no chilled white wine at the time of our visit.

Our family of 5 ate here and everyone loved it. The mixed veggie platters were WAY bigger than we expected, so we had a lot more food than we needed, but we have plenty of leftovers for a couple more meals :D. The food is delicious, the prices are very reasonable, and the server was very helpful and nice. We appreciated how late it’s open because many places close at 9, but we often eat out after shows, so it’s sometimes hard to find somewhere to eat that’s not a bar. We’ll be back!

After traveling all day, I was craving Ethiopian food. Agelgil was the closest to my hotel. Ordering online was simple and seamless. Pickup was easy and staff were welcoming. Food was generous and delicious. I definitely would order from and visit this restaurant again!
