Lalibela Ethiopian - South Orange

The food was excellent and the staff were wonderful. They typically close at 9 a.m. on weekdays, but we called ahead to let them know we would be arriving late. Michelle was very friendly and accommodating. Even though we arrived at 9:30, we were welcomed with smiles and hot meals. It's rare to find such hospitality these days. We ordered a vegetarian platter that included six different dishes, which was more than enough for two people.

I absolutely adore this family-run restaurant. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the service is fantastic. While they can be a bit slow due to their small staff, the quality of the food and the overall experience are truly exceptional. I love this place! P.S. They make the best sambusas! It's also a perfect spot for vegans, as they now offer delicious vegan desserts.

The food here is incredible! I tried the Doro tibs, and they were delicious. For one of my side dishes, I had chickpeas, which were fantastic! They were so unique, and the seasoning was just right. If you prefer your food mild, make sure to let them know, as they don't skimp on flavor! I personally loved it! This place is definitely underrated in South O. The interior is charming as well.

The visit from the Middle West was such a wonderful culinary experience. We loved the food! Fresh, authentic, we enjoyed every bite! Server was friendly and explains all different types of food as we were not familiar with the types. He made us welcome and wanted to realize that we enjoy our experience, thank you for a wonderful culinary experience, we recommend everyone!

Food was awesome! Also the host is very pretty!!! :
