| - I've recently grown to like Ethiopian food thanks to restaurants like Lalibela and African Palace. The vegetarian platter for 2 at Lalibela is filling and delicious. I still struggle with the whole "eat with your hands" thing when it comes to stuffing my little piece of injera bread with veggies, but I'm slowly getting there :)
I honestly cannot say anything bad about this place. The food is amazing, tasty and more importantly - healthy. Especially, if you get the gluten-free (or teff) injera.
What I found surprising was that on a weekday like today (Wednesday), the place was full yet they only had one server working the entire floor. That's unacceptable for a restaurant with so many tables. As a result, you have to wait for your turn and people need stuff all the time (e.g. replace a drink, bring a napkin, bring this or that...). You can't serve so many tables with just one person. I would not be surprised if some customers got disappointed at long wait times.
Having said that, when it comes to taste and food itself, you can't go wrong with Lalibela. I'm saying this, while several years ago I would not even consider going to an Ethiopian restaurant. I had my preconceived notions about it and avoided Ethiopian food like some kind of weird food not in line with my taste buds. Now, I love it. I hope you will like it too. :)
