"Since 2008, this Ethiopian restaurant has served traditional dishes using cooking methods and recipes passed down in the Tadesse family through multiple generations. The menu is varied and includes plenty of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, and all dishes are served with injera made from scratch daily (rice may be substituted as a gluten-free alternative). Dishes are redolent of mitmita, a spice powder made from African bird’s eye chile peppers, and berbere, a chile spice mix that is foundational to Ethiopian cuisine. Mahider also serves imported Ethiopian beer and wine, as well as tej, made from fermented honey and gesho hops. For special occasions, you can participate in a coffee ceremony for up to four guests using Ethiopian coffee beans." - Sarah Entwistle

The food is always wonderful. It is a special treat when I eat here. Very flavorful and healthy, my stomach is left feeling satisfied every time. The injera is just magical, the best I've ever tasted. I usually get the Taste of Mahider sometimes adding the Yebeg (lamb) tibs. The best of everything. The picture is of the Taste of Mahider takeout. It's a lot of food, great value!

Mahider was recommended to us by an acquaintance who is from Ethiopia and it did not disappoint! We got the samosas and the Taste of Mahider to share. The sauces with the samosas were actually spicy! All the food was great quality. The presentation was beautiful and all the curries and vegetables were freshly made and flavorful. We had never had ingera before this experience and thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was great too as the owner himself served us made us feel very welcome. I also liked the lovely painted murals all around the restaurant. We will definitely come back!

My girlfriend and I dined at Mahider Ethiopian Restaurant for dinner, and we had an absolutely amazing experience! As someone from Ethiopia, it was incredible to find a place that truly captures the authentic flavors and essence of Ethiopian cuisine. The food was delicious, with rich, traditional spices and fresh ingredients that brought back so many memories. It was also a wonderful opportunity to share a piece of my culture with my girlfriend. She loved learning about the food, how it’s eaten, and the cultural significance behind it all. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making the evening even more special. I would definitely recommend dining in at this restaurant if you’re looking for authentic Ethiopian cuisine or simply want to explore a new and flavorful dining experience. Mahider truly delivers an unforgettable meal and a connection to Ethiopian culture. We’ll absolutely be returning!

I lived in East Africa for a bit decades ago and was exposed to Ethiopian food. This place is incredible. 100% authentic. It feels like many of the places I used to eat at. The owner, the staff, are all friendly and easy. I love the ambiance, the wall art, the Ethiopian music in the background, everything. So delicious, and plenty to take home for the next day!

Incredible! We did the two person Taste of Mahider shareable meal. I absolutely love that you get to try so many different dishes. It costs about $35, but is definitely two meals per person! Everything in the dish was amazing! They're injera (traditional Ethiopian bread) was amazing. Fast and friendly service. I highly recommend this place! They have a super fun market attached with spices, flour, and things you cannot find anywhere else.

This was our second time trying Ethiopian food, but the first time at this location. Everything was very good and so much flavor. Love trying all the different sauces and meat. It's a fun experience, since you don't use plates or utensils. Just your fingers and everyone eats off the same plate of food. Our family loves trying different ethnic foods. We got the taste of Mahider for 3 but was easily enough food to feed 4.

Absolutely delicious! The combo platter is well worth the price and gives you a good overview of the cuisine--everything is perfectly seasoned, slightly spicy, and there is plenty to go around. I personally love the tangy taste of injera and happily ate all the leftovers, of which we had plenty. It also is very nourishing and hearty without being heavy, and they have a good variety of vegetarian dishes. Great service, too! Wish I lived closer :)

This is a quaint restaurant that is locally owned. I ordered the Mahider plate and tried most of their specialites. It is about $19 and worth it! The amount of food was over abundant and delicious. They have choices for meat lovers, vegetarians and vegans. My favorite is everything on this platter. I had a hot tea that had a nice spice to it as well. I ordered desert to top it off and there was more than enough for one person, it was the amount t for two people.
