Dukem And Market - Burien

This restaurant offers great value for your money. It's difficult to find affordable places to eat in Seattle, but this spot provides ample portions that can easily feed four hungry people. We ordered the veggie combo for $19 and the lamb for $24, and both dishes were absolutely delicious.

Don't let the atmosphere dissuade you. I almost did, and that would have been a HUGE mistake. The restaurant section is inside the market on the far right. It's a modest, but clean space. The food though is anything but modest. The dishes, while being wholly new to me, felt like comfort food. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the lamb tibs and a mix of vegetarian selections, all served on delightfully sour, Ethiopian bread. The thing I recommend most though, is the Ethiopian coffee. That was, hands down, the most fantastic coffee experience I've had. Strong, with no bitterness, and an intense clove taste. The service was impeccable, friendly, and helpful.

The food is a hard five stars. Really, really tasty stuff here, prepared with heart. And get the coffee, it doesn't get any better than this! Service was polite and friendly and understood our purpose of experiencing Ethiopian cuisine to make food recommendations for different flavors. All smiles. It's a few tables in a market, not at all fancy. So glad to be here, and really... Get. The. Coffee.

Excellent, authentic Ethiopian food. We had tibs, mild and spicy. Both were wonderfully seasoned. Great atmosphere, excellent customer service. Extremely attentive.

Went for dinner and the food was delicious! We got the veggie combo and the Ethiopian foul. The spicy foul was technically from the breakfast menu but they let us order it. It was probably our favorite dish. The owners were very nice and welcoming. It’s not a posh dinner spot but definitely has some hole-in-the-wall charm. There was a TV playing Ethiopian music videos. It’s mostly a small market with Ethiopian staples- lots of grains, flours, and spices. They have bags of locally milled, organic Fairhaven flour. The seating is just a small area off the the side. The door was open the whole the time we were inside so it was a little chilly. There was a small family there for part of the time, but otherwise we were the only ones on a Saturday night.
