I was lucky enough to get to dine at two Ethiopian places during my last week in Phoenix. After Blue Nile, I was dying to experience Lalibela and get another taste of Ethiopian food.
I came here during lunch, and I have to say their specials were awesome. $7.99 for your choice of 3 options of meat or vegetarian, injera or rice, and a drink. Pretty good deal if I do say so myself.
I settled on the veggie options of the two lentil dishes and the green beans and carrots with injera. My guy got the three meat dishes and injera.
The food came quickly, and I have to say these portions are much bigger than Blue Nile. And I think these might be a bit tastier. I loved the spicy lentils and the beans and carrots. And the sauces in my guy's meat dishes were equally amazing.
Now that I've popped my Ethiopian cherry, I'm determined to learn how to cook some damn good Ethiopian food. I doubt it can match this place, but I'm not going to be finding Ethiopian in Salem and I need my fix!
