"This Ethiopian restaurant near the University of Texas campus appears to have quietly closed since June after more than 30 years in operation. It had been serving buffet-style meals; no reason for the closure was reported." - Courtney E. Smith
"Habesha is home to some of the fluffiest injera in town, and that alone makes this Ethiopian spot near I-35 and 290 worth a visit. There’s a nearly infinite number of chicken, beef, lamb, fish, and vegetable dishes that can be mixed and matched into a combination platter, making it a great place for repeat visits. Well, unless you find yourself ordering crispy sambusas and savory chicken tibs over and over like we do. Come with a few friends and get the veggie/meat combo, with extra injera to soak it all up." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, max bonem
"The super fluffy injera alone makes Habesha worth a visit. Throw in a nearly infinite number of chicken, beef, lamb, fish, and vegetable dishes that can be mixed and matched into a combination platter, and there’s plenty of reason to keep coming back. We like to order one of the big samplers with the chicken and beef tibs and whatever vegetables sound good." - nicolai mccrary

There’s also a small selection of Ethiopian beers and honey wines that go especially well with the tibs." - Nicolai McCrary
"Dig into a helping of Ethiopian dishes like kitfo or azifa served over spongy injera bread at the Windsor Park restaurant. It’s open until 9 p.m. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor dine-in service." - Polly Anna Rocha, Darcie Duttweiler
