Habesha Ethiopian Restaurant

Great little family operated Ethiopian spot on the west side! We stopped in on a Tuesday around six. I ordered the Doro Wot (chicken stew with a boiled egg), while my wife got the Lega Tibs with beef (a yummy dish with veggies and turmeric). Both were served traditional (family) style on injera - and both were very tasty. The food took a little time to come out, but as they say - good things come to those who wait. When we got there we were the only patrons, but by the time we left the place was getting busy. We'll be back.

Wow, was this place delicious. We love Ethiopian food, but didn't realize we had a restaurant in Cincinnati. We will definitely be eating here again!! Update We have eaten here several times since our first visit. The food is awesome. One of our favorite restaurants in Cincinnati!!!

I gave 3 stars for service and atmosphere but 1 star overall because I came to eat and this was by far the WORST food I've ever paid for. Just look at my picture. I ordered the doro wot and that was ALL I got for $16 (I spent $19 because I tipped before checking). ONE chicken leg and ONE egg in sauce and a bunch of injera. And it tasted like trash. I don't usually like talking bad about small businesses and maybe I just went on the wrong day or something but I had to at least warn us regular people that work hard to go out and eat every once in a while.

Was in town for an event and had a taste for Ethiopian food . Food was Amazing and service was so warm and personal . Will be back whenever I’m in town .

The owner went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed. My son was doing a project for school and he needed an Ethiopian dish. She fixed us a sample plate, free of charge, and customized the dishes to our needs. Best service hands-down. We were so appreciative of her help.

This is a great little spot to try some authentic, homemade Ethiopian food! Everything we had was absolutely delicious, and the server was fantastic! It's definitely a smaller business, and their menus could use a touch up and some translations, but the server was more than happy to help us out.

Ethiopian food has quickly become one of my favorites and Habesha is by far the best I’ve had. The injera is so thin with a lovely sourdough flavor. Everything we’ve tried has been so incredibly flavorful, the cabbage, lentils, potatoes and carrots. My boyfriend has tried both the ribs and the door way and said both are outstanding. The woman who helped us is so lovely and shared some of the history of the spices used in the cuisine. It’s absolutely worth the 45 minute drive for us!

This is my first time experiencing Ethiopian food and it's really delicious. I got the vegetarian platter plate posted in the pictures below. They got lot of vegetables lentils red lentils cabbage and what seemed like a pancake is really delicious. I could barely finish and I'm already full value for money.
