I must say, this was an incredible experience! The Ethiopian cuisine served here is simply the best I have ever tasted. The owner herself took care of us, serving and cooking all of our dishes with so much passion and love. Her genuine smile and the flavors she created made the whole experience even more memorable. I apologize for the late review as life has been quite busy lately. I visited this place a few weeks ago and tried the mouthwatering chicken awaze tibs. Additionally, I savored a delectable brown lentil dish (unfortunately, I can’t recall the name), while my friends enjoyed the flavorful beef tibs. The food was fresh and bursting with flavors. The staff was friendly and welcoming, generously providing us with plenty of injera to accompany our dishes. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone. Be prepared for some fiery spiciness in the food! The casual ambiance adds to the charm, and it’s no surprise that this place is always buzzing with people who share the same love for it.

Amazing Ethiopian food! The food is definitely 5 stars!! Buttery beef with a red sauce, amazing flavorful lentils. We tried the sampler with lots of different options to get a full array of the flavorful offerings. Don’t shy away due to the location or lack of fancy decor. The service and food make you feel right at home. The njeera is very good and there are lots of Ethiopian people here eating, so that’s a good sign!! Very authentic Ethiopian cuisine. We will return again!

My co-worker had never had Ethiopian food before so I found Embilta Cafe online for dinner. It was superb. We ordered the Embilta Special ($25) which was plenty for two to share. Everything on the platter was devoured. Solid flavors rich with spices and seasonings. The food was so good he gave the owner/cook a peck on the cheek!

It’s a one person show here. The owner is the cashier, waitress, and chef (with another help in the kitchen). She was super friendly and attentive but service can be slower than expected. I got the special, lots of food even though the size is small. A nice place to go and enjoy food.

My favorite Ethiopian restaurant! Delicious food and incredible value. My partner and I found this place a few years ago and have never stopped coming back. The restaurant is run by one friendly woman who is both the waitress and the cook. Every dish we have had is flavorful and unique, but our favorite is to share the Embilta special large (meat and veggies). This generous platter is full of beef tips, other meat dishes, lentils, and veggies, and it would be tough for two people to finish it. For three, I would recommend this platter plus an additional entree. We always enjoy hot ginger tea with our meal. Can’t recommend this place enough!

THE BEST I’VE HAD!!!! When I tell you the flavor snuck up on me around every corner!!! I have to apologize to the tomato salad in the pic. I cut her off like she was a side character and SHE’S NOT REGULAR. Tears of joy off that salad!!! I’LL BE BACK!!!!

My friend and I are no strangers to Ethiopian food. We agreed this was the best we’ve ever had. The portions are generous, the veggies are fresh, the spice levels are perfect, and the server (who may also be the owner?) was so friendly. Highly recommend!

Delicious! The lady serving us appeared to be covering both the front and back but was incredibly efficient and warm. The lamb tips and veggie combo was great. Big portions, affordable and leftovers to take home. First time eating at this restaurant but have tried several other Ethiopian spots on Briarcliff but this one is now a new favorite!
