  • Where to start... First of all, this place is very small. I highly recommend you make a reservation, as there isn't much room for seating, and Tina makes all the food herself, so once it's gone, there is no more for the day. MAKE A RESERVATION. Secondly, this is a very mom and pop establishment, don't expect anything fancy. It's pretty spartan and humbly decorated with the obligatory worn posters of Ethiopia. Thirdly, do not expect to eat and run here. Tina is an absolute hoot. Not only extremely friendly, she is also extremely talkative. She is one of those types of people that is so nice and chatty that you hate to have to say "Our kids were supposed to be in bed a half an hour ago." Speaking of kids, the great thing about this place is that if your kids aren't into Ethiopian fare just yet, she has the goods to keep kids happy: Corn dogs and mac and cheese. If you have never had Ethiopian, be prepared to not have any silverware on the table. While silverware is available on request, it is Ethiopian culture to eat with your hands. All meals are served with rolls of enjera, an unleavened bread that has a slightly sour taste. You basically tear a piece of bread off the roll and then use it to grab your food. If the kiddos are into the ethnic food, they'll love eating with their hands! Onto the food... The food here is excellent. As mentioned earlier, Tina makes everything from scratch, and with lots of love, and it shows. The menu is pretty limited, but what is on the menu is all delicious. There are meat and vegetarian entrees, and go from not spicy at all to nose running spicy. If you like spicy try the beef tibbs. She also has a house salad that is excellent! There are no appetizers, no expensive dessert menu. All the dinner entrees are under $7, and the house watt combo is about $12, and is a lot of food, probably more food than most people can eat. Still hungry? Never fear, Tina is always there to give you seconds. Beware, Tina is a food pusher. She is not happy unless you have to be rolled out of there on a dolly. IF YOU LEAVE THERE ANYTHING OTHER THAN STUFFED BEYOND IMAGINATION IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT. Lastly, if Tina is your server, don't even think about tipping. She flat out refuses tips, and will run after you if you leave money on the table. Tina's Ethiopian Cafe isn't a restaurant, it's an experience! ALSO: This restaurant is now located at the Southwest corner of Cooper (Stapley) and Elliot next to Blew Smoke cigar shop
