Lalibela Ethiopian Restaurant

We came here for lunch and it blew us away. Every item tastes fresh and high quality. Our server was so kind and the chefs know what they’re doing. I would give them 10 stars if I could :) we will most definitely be back! veggie platter 10/10 (especially the collard greens, perfectly cooked and a lil spicy 😻) beef tibs 10/10 sambusa with lentils 10/10 ethiopian coffee 10/10

We came in for lunch. We had Lalibela Platter. It was a huge platter that two of us could not finish. Every item was flavorful! I wished I had more room in my stomach. The service was quick and super friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We are definitely coming back for more.

I have eaten Ethiopian food in almost every state as well in Ethiopia and LALIBELA RESTAURANT is absolutely hands down my favorite- everything on the menu is so authentic and the flavor is UNBELIEVABLE!! The owner is so kind and welcoming. I HIGHLY suggest this restaurant!

I love this Ethiopian restaurant in downtown Portland! If you are looking for the best tasting Ethiopian food and atmosphere this is the place! Family friendly with vegetarian and gluten free options! I will be back!!

I ordered the veggie combo at Lalibela and each dish was very flavorful! The veggie combo easily feeds two adults. While I was eating in the restaurant, I saw a lot of people getting to-go orders, so apparently this restaurant is popular for to-go. Also, their bathrooms were very clean

OMG, YUM. I may have to come back to Portland specifically to eat at Lalibela. I got the veg combo and it was soooo good. Lots of food, too. Everything was very freshly made, perfectly spicy without being overwhelming. The space is very small but delightful, and the server was kind and cheerful. ...in fact maybe I'll visit again on this trip so I can try the non- veg combo!

We love Ethiopian food and we're excited to try this place. We went all in with the veggie combo and it really didn't disappoint. Food was great and service was friendly. Highly recommend.

Easy to find and only 15 minute drive from our home in Vancouver. Arrived at 6pm and found parking for our large truck immediately. Walked right in and we were greeted with kind, welcoming energy right away. Before even entering we could smell the intoxicating aromas of fresh cooked cuisine. Perfect pace of service for dinner. With a pleasant community taking part in this beautiful dance of culture and creativity. We shared the special combo and the two of us could not finish it. Everything on the platter was bright, fresh, crisp and made with care. Typing this the next day I realize that I feel amazing! Such healthy, delicious, clean food to make me feel energized for the next day! If you only go to try the homemade tea, you will have a story to tell your friends. Take your time and sip it slow. Inhale the spices and see if you can detect cardamom, cinnamon, clove. Absolutely uplifting. Next time we go in we are taking our son. He will love it!
