Dukem Restaurant and Market

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.

Best bang for buck. Almost impossible to find an inexpensive place to eat in Seattle! Enough food to feed 4 hungry people. We ordered the veggie combo $19 and the lamb $24. The food was delicious 🤤. In the veggie combo there wasn’t my favorites dish, atakilt wat, the cabbage carrot dish but the other sides made up for it! The lamb was juicy and plentiful. Unfortunately out of sambusa :( We went at 5 pm on our way back home from a road trip and stopped here. Food took long, I’m thinking because we were there to eat at an odd time. Worth the wait. Service is smiling and friendly. You could browse the store in the meantime. Saw some good olive oil from Palestine that caught my eye. It’s a homey restaurant. Music was a little loud with a bass that you can ask to turn down. One restroom that wasn’t exactly clean and could do with a quick clean.

Amazing! We got the vegetarian plate and it was SO delicious- best Ethiopian food in Seattle. We love coming to this gem and the owners are so sweet <3

I love this place, I come here for lunch takeout and their sambusas! The food is great and you get a lot and I love the sambusas, they have beans and ginger and spices inside and are cheap and filling. What I love too is how friendly they are, every time I go in there no matter who is at the counter they are so nice and friendly!! One time I was squeezed for time and he promised to get my order quicker and they did. Great people, great food!

Ordered the meat and veggie plate the food was really good. It was my first time eating Ethiopian food. But the service was not great. It took my order very very long to get to me and it seem like staff was a bit disorganized. Price was fair and portions where large.

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

I ate so much of this delicious food that I forgot to take a picture before. Haha. This food was so delicious and the owner is such a lovely woman. 😍 The owner was so very nice. Please go to this restaurant if you love Ethiopian food. This was my first time having Ethiopian food and I loved the experience and the taste.

Delicious authentic Ethiopian food. The injera was the perfect texture, and the spicy beef was delicious. This is a bare-bones, 10 tables in the side of the ethnic market kind of place, so don't expect much. But the food was really good.
