"Cafe Lalibela is a well-established Tempe institution. Run by the husband-and-wife duo Anibal and Salem Abayneh, Cafe Lalibela has introduced countless Valley residents to the wonders of Ethiopian cuisine for over two decades. While all of the Ethiopian staples, such as injera (a thin sourdough-tasting bread) and wat (a vegetable, meat, or broth-based stew), are available here, it is best to leave it up to the experts and opt for the chef’s favorite combination, which provides a selection of meat or vegetable-based dishes, atop a layer of injera and served on a massive platter. Cafe Lalibela has become such a staple that their dishes can be found pre-prepared at some grocery stores around the Valley." - Mcconnell Quinn
