Lalibela is one of those great restaurants that many people will pass up because the outside looks rather nondescript. But anyone who passes this place up is truly missing out. Meskel may have the best Kitfo in town, but Lalibela is the place to go if you want good Zilzil Tibs. But the best item on their menu is the Shero Wot. It's a very simple recipe, and makes for a great side, but the only Shero Wot I've had that's better than this place was when I had homemade Shero Wot in Ethiopia itself. Meskel may be great for beginners, but Lalibela is great if you want a more authentic take on the cuisine. I have yet to try anything I haven't liked. My only gripe: they use Lipton tea for their spice tea. It's just not the same.
Pros: Best Shero Wot in town, great authenticity in atmosphere and taste
Cons: The aforementioned Lipton. :(

This place was possibly the best Ethiopian food I have had. Great vegan/vegetarian options. Excellent fried fish. Everything was well seasoned and each dish competed to be my favorite. Simple and welcoming interior. Genuinely friendly service. Go with friends and share several dishes!
Pros: Quality and flavors of food
