Try a sweet Ethiopian Harar honey beer to combat the spiciness of the food.

The food was good. We had the veggie combo and it was too much for two folks for dinner. Pretty authentic Ethiopian food. The neighborhood has a lot of Ethiopian restaurants and I hope to try a few more of them. We went there on a week day evening and were the only customers. The waitress was friendly but had difficulty understanding English. But, it all added to the charm as we asked her Ethiopian words for stuff and she sweetly obliged. The ambience is very Ethiopian with chairs covered in (false?) animal skin, the bamboo/cane stuff all around. It appears that they would have music played on a few days. We saw some equipment but the waitress did not understand our query on when it would be played.
Pros: Cheap, parking
Cons: Neighbourhood

I moved from Seattle to CA a year and a half ago and always make a point of eating at Lalibela on trips back. I used to try other Ethiopian restaurants in the city but now i don't even bother. Lalibela is the best. The tastes of the various dishes are complex, subtle, and extremely pleasing. Event the leftovers are wonderful; just roll up whatever is left (mixed up is OK) in the leftover injera and you've got a great lunch. I wish Lalibela had a branch where I live now!

I like this place for its wonderful and tasty food.Outside the restaurant does not appear very attractive but inside has nice decor and planty of tables.Staff is attentive and polite.I usually get veggie combo,that's always my favorite.Meat combo is also worth trying.One meal can easily feed 2 people.Well worth your money.
